Bought a book on Z80 the other day at a 2and hand store for .50 printed in 72. Online the cheapest I could find was $20.

Ten books containing the twelve cantos of the Srimad Bhagavata Purana, some of which are dated 1910, in the Kannada language.

The Wrong Box
2nd(?) edition, in very bad condition. Late 19th century, sometime after 1889, anyway. (Otherwise it would be a first edition.  )
And a bunch of books from the 20's

...but it's so SLOW!
It took me 5 or so minutes just to log in (though that is probably down to my "strong" password being impossible to remember, let alone type).
And I grew out of "one finger" typing decades ago...
Still, there you go @Chris-Maunder
one more browser you can say CP works with! 
And it's wierd leaning forward and having your browser run awy from you.

it's gotta be freaking the cat out?
... but you do know it'll get the gist of it some day and take a real crap on your sofa.
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

Typing - Grade 10 - 1979. Easily the single most useful thing I learned in all of my schooling!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Agreed, with one caveat:
- One typing class: Highly recommended.
- More than one: Highly discouraged.
I made the mistake of taking another typing class in grade 10 (I had my first one in grade 9). The second class was nothing but a huge waste of time (OTOH, while the first typing class was a mostly even mix of boys and girls, as I recall, the second one consisted of myself, and a bunch of girls who aspired, I guess, to become secretaries)...
There's much better material I should've gotten covered while in high school, but that's a long story for another day...

That only happens to me on really bad days. I usually put the cork back in at that point.

are you using industrial tin-foil ? the household stuff won't work.

I always use industrial tin foil - it's twice as thick as the domestic version, and a lot cheaper if you buy it in 90m rolls.
Plus, your tinfoil hat can be extended with a tinfoil cape to cover your whole spine wioth little extra effort.
Just don't drop it ...

@OriginalGriff
the tin-foil cape is very soignee, butt the problem is: when you bend over, you can leave a butt-print in the cape which could be picked up by scanners.
very few people can make a perfect ass of themselves.

C#: Which do you prefer (given the small number of array items):
Type stringType = typeof(string);
Type[] expectedTypes = Enumerable.Repeat(stringType, 3).ToArray(); or:
Type stringType = typeof(string);
Type[] expectedTypes = new Type[] {stringType, stringType, stringType};or: (using an extension method):
Type[] expectedTypes = typeof(string).Repeat(3); Definition of the extension method:
public static T[] Repeat<T>(this T item, int n)
{
return Enumerable.Repeat(item, n).ToArray();
}
I'm curious if anyone has any strong preference, and why.
From my perspective, the first version is sort of silly but cute, given there's only 3 items being initialized. The second version, ok, but I don't like it because I hate repeating myself. The third version I really like as it's very readable but some people object to creating extension methods (not that I care, it's my code, haha.)

Type[] expectedTypes = new Type[] {typeof(string), typeof(string), typeof(string)};I have a 'mild' preference for the above line.

My thought as well.

Oh yuck, none of those. ToArray and anything from Linq is a cry for help.

hehe. This is the use case:
method = type.GetMethod("SomeMethodName", expectedTypes);

I prefer the 2nd method using C# intrinsic initializers.
I find that trivial wrapping in most cases tends to obscure, rather than clarify.
Also I don't need to know linq to understand it, so that's a bonus.

Oh wait, nevermind, you have been here awhile so it's allowed. 
And to answer your question, I have no preference.
