I think so. They must have used other techniques to stay cool. Mountains of snow, windowless sun-side walls, good old suffering, etc must have helped. Smile | :)

The real question is, Will he Carry 'er to the next level?

It was broke, so I fixed it.

Oh I dunno. "Police Squad! (In Colour!)" was pretty well known, and had some brilliant quotes: "We're sorry to bother you at such a time like this, Mrs. Twice. We would have come earlier, but your husband wasn't dead then"

More talked about, I should say. At least where I live in the States, the "Leslie" term is used a lot. He is referenced far more in his death, then in his life, IMHO.

I loved almost all of his movies. He is missed, for Shirley. Smile | :)

I meet him at a couple of horse shows where his daughter was riding. He was a rather good horseman himself. A really nice man and a pleasure to talk with.

How do you write a computer program?

I was just looking at the post regarding comparing a program to a musical piece and it reminded me of a question a golfing acquaintance asked me on the course recently - he's my age (mid 50's) and never had anything to do with computers - ever. The nearest he's got is a mobile phone, but asked me the question 'how do you write a computer program?' - sounds simple enough, but after a minute the glazed look in his eyes and sound of the whoosh as my obviously inadequate answers to more questions passed over his head just made me laugh - try it sometime Smile | :)

Ask him how and why you make a golf ball and he might get the idea that it's a about a lot of little details. Laugh | :laugh:

Usually I have to dig out someone's old junk, then use some of the bad language mentioned below, question the author's mental health, throw it all away and then get to work.

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

I have found that most people find what we do, extremely boring. As soon as you start with the "lingo", they tune you out. The light is on, but no one is home.

More than the "lingo," it's the stepwise thinking through and abstraction of a problem that makes their eyes glaze over. Why, "that's just not fun" sayeth the liberal arts and business majors.
