I have picked up several at various prices and have not found a ha'p'orth of difference between them. They are all sharper than a razor and cut anything very easily! They are brittle and delicate if you use them wrongly, I have chipped a couple and broken one but my steel knives tend to get left in the rack unless there is bone or frozen things to deal with. They go in the dishwasher with no harm to the edge I can detect.
I have had one particular six-inch ceramic knife for over five years of near-daily use and apart from a couple of millimeters missing from the tip (from trying to make a hole in a microwaveable frozen thingy) it is still working perfectly and cutting like it was brand new.
Also you can use them for chopping lettuce as the remaining lettuce does not turn brown at the edge as with a metal knife - so you don't need a plastic lettuce knife (which I still have unused in my kitchen drawer).
Hint and tip: Use paper plates for cutting on - they are disposable, do not hurt the ceramic knifes, catch juice and blood, etc. and don't need cleaning or maintaining as you just throw them away when you are done or they show too much damage. I get good quality paper plates from the wholesale club (as I use them for parties and things) but the cheapest paper plates you can get will do the cutting job just as well.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

...so the answer I am curious about is whether or not you can take them on an airplane.

I understand that they are designed to be detected, so you can't just carry them on.
Mind you, if you want an "interesting life" you could give it a try...

I've tried them and not keen, I have a block of sabatiers, but my 'me only' (i.e. wife and kids don't touch them) knives are pampered chef ones. Absolutely ace, nice weight and balance and stay sharp really well.

I agree that the balance on ceramics is wrong - there is just no blade weight at all! But Herself managed to throw one of my Sabatiers in the rubbish accidentally, and she has blunted the rest so I thought I'd try them. So far I like them, but I'm not as fast with routine chopping as I was with steel.

This is really a question for QA or the LAMP forum.

Morning all, if it is morning where you are, I've been learning C# for about a month and have created my first game.
I would like to zip it up and post it so that I can get some feedback on my progress so far.
Which would be the best forum to post it in?
|
|
|
|
|
Under General Programming at the left, select the C# Forum. I don't know that we have a gaming forum yet, so this is probably the best bet. Congratulations, btw, for finishing your first project!

Thanks Roger had a look at your suggestion but I can not see how to upload an attachment. My project contains 377 lines.

That is far too much to post into a question. If you have a problem then show just the code that is involved.
|
|
|
|
|
I don't have a problem, I'll edit the post and remove it.
Edit: It's already gone.

If you're talking about feedback on your source code: If it's not awfully long (less than 200 lines), don't zip it but post it in the C# Discussion Boards - CodeProject[^] forum:
Make sure to properly format it in a code block like this.
If it's longer than that I'd rather suggest this site: Code Review Stack Exchange[^].
If you're talking about feedback on your running game: Zip it and post a message with a link under Collaboration / Beta Testing Discussion Boards - CodeProject[^]. You might want to offer two alternative downloads: One with the binary files only and another one for the C# solution files - because many members will not download and execute a binary file from an unknown source but will be able to build the binaries themselves from your solution.

Thanks Sascha,
Uploaded code to the other site you suggested but can see no way to upload it to code project.
It totals 377 lines.

Have you thought about creating an article ?
you can discuss the journey that you had, on designing the user interface, code problems that you have found and how you overcame them etc etc.
you can then attach you whole project for people to have a look at also

Thanks for the reply Simon I only just find enough time to code so writing an article is not really an option.

The right place for a link to the entire project with a request for feedback: [^].
Specific questions, with carefully chosen sections of your code that demonstrate what the question is about, along with information on error messages, are very welcome at either the C# QA forum, or the C# Language Forum.
cheers, Bill

Thanks Bill, tried that but it's too long and has been removed.
I'll try one of the other C# forums that are on the net.

So I've been listening to the album released today by Aurora (UK readers will know her as the voice of Half A World Away for the weird John Lewis Man on the Moon Christmas ad). She's Norwegian. So why does she always sound Irish to me - very reminiscent of a quieter Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries in fact? Does Norwegian have Gaelic roots, or vice versa? Is there an underground leprechaun movement in the Midhordland region? Or do I need to see an audiologist?
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Different branches of the tree, no common root - Norwegian = 'North Germanic' while Gaelic = 'Celtic'... I listened to her video on her web site and thought her voice was 'clipped' or even a little 'flat' in tone - that's not to say its not good/different, but may lend itself to a certain style of singing that's in common with Dolores (although Dolores can certainly 'belt it out' volume wise)

I can't see the comparison: to my ears that's an immature person, and an immature voice, wrapped in "shy nymphet" persona packaging, and (I'd guess) other people's music. Dolores is a full-on woman who has a tremendous vocal range, and passion oozing out of her every pore; the Cranberries are "originals" in every sense of that word.

Her is only 19 and the songs would therefore have been recorded at 17 to 18! It would be silly to expect her to have reached her full vocal potential and anyway I wasn't suggesting that she was a clone by any means. But it is all her own work. Her first song wot she wrote came to public attention when she was only 16 and this first album was on pretty much every 'next big thing' list for this year.
