I just realized the note goes away when you click and get the message. (Chrome)

And I just realized that the note isn't shown if you use Firefox.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

In regards to solving computer errors, my dad always told me, "read the screen." If I had done that, rather than skimming over things, I would have seen it much sooner.
Thanks CM. That is pretty cool.
For those still in the dark, here's some hints:
Look at the home page.
Pay attention to the list of articles.
Select "Latest Articles" from the "Articles" menu.
Still don't see it? Open up a article or two. If you don't notice the joke, you'll at least learn something from the article.
Still confused? OK, here's the answer: the article names on the homepage is incorrect (notice how "spammy" the article names are ("# things you did not know...", "# things you would not believe")). There is a message at the bottom of the new article list that tells you you may have been deceived. So now you know.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

A Redneck with a bucket full of live fish, was approached recently by a game warden in Arkansas as he started to drive his boat away from a lake. The game warden asked the man, "May I see your fishing license please?" "Naw, sir," replied the redneck. "I don't need none of them there papers. These here are my pet fish."
"Pet fish!?!?"
"Yep. Once a week, I bring these here fish o'mine down to the lake and let 'em swim 'round for a while. Then when I whistle, they swim right back into my net and I take 'em home."
"What a line of baloney....you're under arrest."
The Redneck said, "It's the truth, Mr. Gov'ment man. I'll show ya!
We do this all the time!!"
"WE do, now, do WE?" smirked the warden. "PROVE it!"
The Redneck released the fish into the lake and stood and waited. After a few minutes, the warden said, "Well?"
"Well, WHUT?" said the redneck.
The Warden asked, "When are you going to call em back?"
"Call who back?"
"The FISH," replied the Warden!
"Whut fish?" asked the Redneck.

Losing limbs no barrier for juggling mountaineer

"“It sounds strange, but if you offered me my hands and feet back now, I’d say no for sure,” he says. "
Hmmm, i dont think so.
--edit--
He lost them on Mt Blanc so the story says, got hammered by a 5 day storm, killed one of them, and he lost all four limbs.
Reminds me of when I climbed it many years back. I really hadnt appreciated the scale, and inherent danger of it and so was totally unprepared. My clothing was what you would wear to the pub in winter, the other two I climbed it with were no better equiped. We did have ice axes, crampons and rope though, that much we had thought of. But we only had two pairs of gloves between us. SO I gave my right glove to my friend, whose left arm is paralyzed, and thus is kept in his pocket all the time, while I had the left glove, and likewise kept my right hand in my pocket.
By Christ it was cold though. The denim jacket and jersey I had on was no protection at all. SO cold the cameras siezed up, they were the metal shutter variety in those days. Utterly staggeringly cold. minus 30C or some such, we set out at 3 am to make it to the sumit for sun rise, the colddest part of the day.
And then there were the massive crevasses. We didnt have much in the way of torches either, and certainy not ones that lasted more than a few hours, so you couldnt see them till you were almost on them. Sometimes you would be on a snow bridge without even knowing it till you glanced left and right and saw the massive black holes that said you were on a bridge. That made you step lightly!
We were roped together though, not that I am sure we would have known what to do if one of us fell in.
Fortunately it didnt happen, and we made it up and down safely, but what risks we took! I think that year about 30 people died climbing it.
So thats my memories of Mt BLanc, its not to be taken lightly, as this guy knows all too well.

Can I put a screen cap into my post here in code project ?
|
|
|
|

No. But you can post it to an image store and link to it.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

No - you can only put images directly into moderated items, such as articles and tips.
The problem is that there are a lot of idiots out there, for whom posting offensive or obscene images would be "amusing". And that could prevent the site being available inside many companies. So the alternatives are ban images, or moderate every post on the site before it is published. That's just to much delay, and work, particularly for a site where the content is posted by volunteers.

Thanks one and all. Hope this wasn't a redundant space wasting question.

Good point. I have removed my post to avoid abuse based on that method.
I suppose those of us that have a need to link images to posts on a regular basis can set up a ::Workspace specifically for that.

I must be kind of tired, as I just read parts of your post:
a lot of idiots ... posting offensive or obscene images ... particularly for a site where the content is posted by volunteers
but I think I got the meening correct, at least if links to sheep are included as, well you know...
