I have this image with certain posters; like JSOP going down like in YOUNG GUNS MOVIE - ENDING - YouTube[^]. (Yes, he survives, of course he does). Now there's a few discrepancies between how I view you, and how you view you. Post one youtube video to describe yourself. I wanna know how close I am to how you see you.
Luc will post something about the universe and Carl Sagan, if he gonna post.
OG will post something about Fawlty Towers (I dare not mention them).
Kent will not be posting here, but the insider news.
Sander is too busy getting a new contract.
Sandeep is outclassing me with "normal" cooking, and going to surprise me with a video on mandelbrots.
Chris is chasing hamsters[^].
If you needed to include a song (or video) on your resume, which would you choose and why?

One video? That's difficult.

If I could find a video that would represent me, it would probably just make me feel awkward, and that's assuming I could find one that was both on point and SFW.

I think this is a bit more accurated regarding the hamsters and how things go in server room: Video - YouTube[^]

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

No, I'm not!

With all the work I'm currently having this is more accurate: awesome movie[^]

How does newbies come to know about CodeProject? When they are stuck or need help, seems they post it at SO or CP.
Possibly Word-of-mouth OR Google OR ???. If Google what keywords?

When you're in Visual Studio and press Ctrl+C you are automatically taken to CP's Q&A.
It's a new feature for students and the mentally challenged!
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

That was implied.

How did you find it?
"the debugger doesn't tell me anything because this code compiles just fine" - random QA comment

- Q&A was not there when I started. (forums were though)
- It was not Q&A help that lead me here.
|
|

|

Hmm, I didn't mention Q&A. However, I'm guessing you had a coding issue/question that you googled, and probably found a link to an article or forum post, just like me and a lot of others I'd imagine. Though I could be completely wrong .

Again true and possibly for most of us. But, is that true for most of the newbies too?

That's how I found it years ago.
