Re: answers -> alternates Luc Pattyn14-Jun-10 4:00 Luc Pattyn 14-Jun-10 4:00  wouldn't it be simpler changing one word in the code, rather than editing the TODO list?

But we already have that bug entry and it shows there are a few places where this needs to be corrected. Re: answers -> alternates Chris Maunder14-Jun-10 4:45 Chris Maunder 14-Jun-10 4:45  It's more than a single word, Luc. We try not to hardwire strings so the system needs to be tweaked so that every place that type of confusion can occur will get fixed as well. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: answers -> alternates Luc Pattyn14-Jun-10 4:53 Luc Pattyn 14-Jun-10 4:53  I knew you would object; just wasn't sure what it was going be. I was expecting more a do-it-by-the-book response.

That was actually my first response.

Jystad, 2001 Re: Cursor Flashing Luc Pattyn10-Jun-10 7:23 Luc Pattyn 10-Jun-10 7:23  I never felt the need to compare any part of my PC with an aging cougar. Maybe you are feeding your mouse too much pepper crackers? You didn't smuggle some iPad+Safari gadgetry to work, did you?

Hans' Reputation Points #realJSOP10-Jun-10 6:40 #realJSOP 10-Jun-10 6:40  I see he's approaching 72,000 points. Isn't there something we can do to help him tworad that goal? I think I'll go 5-vote some of his posts... EDIT =============== It only took three votes to take him from 71,870 to 72,013. It's part of the power that I wield...

I don't think thats possible. Based on what i have observed, Maximum upvote points are 40 i think! Re: Hans' Reputation Points #realJSOP10-Jun-10 6:55 #realJSOP 10-Jun-10 6:55  The first value is approximate because I didn't write it down.

Jystad, 2001 Re: Hans' Reputation Points Hans Dietrich10-Jun-10 6:53 Hans Dietrich 10-Jun-10 6:53  Now that you mention it, I was 5-voting a few posts earlier today, and I just checked, and they don't seem to be reflected in my posted rep points yet. Is there some kind of ref points backlog? Or is it possible the rep points have been exhausted, like the souls in the guff? What do you think? Should I submit a new article, or just slam in 5 new Tips? I think I could probably boost it to over 100K. If only I had some bad airline experiences to vent about, or maybe some telco problems. Ah, shoot. I don't have any of those. Wait - a little old lady cut me off at the checkout line at Starbucks. Maybe I could post about that. Quite traumatizing, really. And the coffee that day was not that good, either. One of those coffees with the picture of an elephant - you know the one I mean? Nasty stuff. Of course, Dunkin Donuts always had better coffee, but they're doing poorly, because these fat-assed Californians have all turned into veggie tree-hugging tea-drinkers. Except, of course, the Tea Party fruitloops, who I'm sure drink way too much coffee anyway. So, anyway, if you could gimme 5 I'd appreciate it.

Done, but use those points wisely. Once you've accumulated more than 100,000 points, you can try to leave the temple. .45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly ----- "Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997 ----- "The staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - J. Jystad, 2001 Re: Hans' R Points Luc Pattyn10-Jun-10 7:17 Luc Pattyn 10-Jun-10 7:17  Sorry Hans, Starbucks drivel does not belong in a serious forum such as this one. Please move over to the Lounge. And why are you mentioning the R word again? I feel I should down-vote you, but I'll show some mercy for this once.

Re: Hans' Reputation Points Hans Dietrich10-Jun-10 23:27 Hans Dietrich 10-Jun-10 23:27  OK, I decided to take a cue from the master, so I called up a few airlines, told the person who answered that "My friend Christian thinks you suck" just to get some bad feelings started. Didn't work. Every one of them replied, "Ooooooh. You know Christian Slater? Can you get me his autograph?" So I guess I'll go back to writing articles. At least there I know where I stand. "Do you have this in C#?" Oh yes, I have that in the back. What version .NET would you like? "Do you have a DLL I can use with Python?" Sure, it's in the download. "This doesn't work on my iFad." You have to upgrade your BIOS.

'Rep points sucks today' :P QA Responses Guidelines DaveyM6910-Jun-10 4:57 DaveyM69 10-Jun-10 4:57  If it doesn't exist already (I haven't seen it) then we need some official guidelines to follow. I've been thinking this since the comment system (which is a huge improvement) was introduced. For example, here[^] Abhinav S's 'answer' isn't really an answer it should be a comment IMO. JSOP has essentially made the same comment but at least attempted to guess the question and provide an answer so fair enough. Not a huge problem but maybe worth a 'How to answer/comment' sticky?

Jystad, 2001 Re: QA Responses Guidelines DaveyM6910-Jun-10 5:27 DaveyM69 10-Jun-10 5:27  I thought that too but I try not to be cynical. Maybe I should just be pedantic and add comments to answers that should be comments? Dave If this helped, please vote & accept answer! Binging is like googling, it just feels dirtier.

(Luc Pattyn) Re: QA Responses Guidelines Luc Pattyn10-Jun-10 6:12 Luc Pattyn 10-Jun-10 6:12  the problem is, you can't really add answers to comments that should be answers...
