You been taking your pills regular ? Well, have you ? Have you ? You haven't.... ah, now I understand. Nobody wants to amaze you, my dear sir, we're just happy that you're here, with us and being amazing your own self. There is a limit to the amount of amazingness that we can take. You are enough for us, sir, so stay as you are.
Oh Aye, I don't work for MDV - but I think you probably have fun. I'm down loading 2006 at the moment. I have copied your post. I think I'm gonna have fun.
Maybe you have another problem. I started to download yesterday too. I also had to stop 'cause I don't leave machines running when the house is empty. It's running for me, but slowly. If we don't go out tonight, I think it'll finish around midnight. What are you using as bittorrent software ? I'm using Azureus.

You have an opinion there, and you're entitled. I just have one question for you. Do you think these happy chappies need any help from you ?
Well the idea of "reporters righting stories" surprised me a bit. I've heard of reporters lefting stories in bars after too much alcohol. I've heard of reporters writing stories in order to justify their existence and their right to eat. But "righting stories" is new for me. Perhaps this returns to their right to eat - they write the story and, having justified their right to eat, they then eat the story. Could the whole cycle be referred to as "righting" a story ? Begins with writing the story, continues with eating it, and ends with evacuating it ? After the cycle was complete, we'd have to refer to it as a "rightinged" story though - and this complicates the issue for a grammatical stand-point. The evacuation part of the cycle is troublesome also, since we're told to "stand up for our rights". Unless, of course, we say that this part of the cycle may be referred to as "sitting down for our writes". Life is complicated, ain't it.
You may in fact be the only one harbouring this particular thought. Since you shared it, I, for one, have been preparing to welcome our new video-gaming overlords.
I'm getting my 'flu shot on Monday so I hope that the "vaccine" exists. If not, myself and my favourite health care person are going to find ourselves looking at each other and wondering what to do with our time (to be polite). I'm rather old, and the 'flu kills old people here in France. Liberté, Egalité, Fraterité, if the order doesn't work for you then change it - it's the overall idea that counts. If there is something wrong with the idea, it's that they left out Sororité - I'm not THAT old.
Mr. Mangan, would you notice please that I have written a post to this discussion entitled "White Knight complexes and European Law". In this post I made four points and the forth point was directed to you in particular. I was remiss in not specifically drawing your attention to what I had written, and I am repairing my omission now. You may want to read the post and if you do, remembering that you are living in highly stressful circumstances at the moment, I'd ask you to bear in mind that it was written in all kindness and politeness. You may want to consider that I write from experience - I've lived here in Europe for the past 30 years. So, before it's too late (and when it gets to be too late it'll be sudden, drastic, and 'way too late), take action to take care of yourself and your family. They will get to be much less enthusiastic in their actions if you are in America. Good luck to you.
It is good to see that Joe Mangan is actually reading this list of posts. It means that we have first-hand information, and not just a journalist's "take" on the situation. I would like however to make a few points that I haven't noticed in the posts. First: European Law is not American Law - or not yet anyway. Second: European Law and European Policemen have no discernible sense of humour. Third: Whistle-blowing in Europe is something that is done during trade-union demonstrations and only there, and only with whistles. Forth: While (see point 2) no sense of humour is discernible in European Policemen, it is possible to discern which European police-force is the most lacking in sense of humour - the prize certainly goes to the Swiss (especially if you are non-Swiss in Switzerland), but the Austrians run them a very, very close second. And lastly, and directly for Mr. Mangan, as the thing stands the Austrian law-enforcement are not playing on the same field as you : you are worried about air-safety while they are intent upon showing you that they are serious people who will not tolerate any lack of respect (as they see things). They are in their country ; the game that is getting played is their game and not yours. They are going to leave you in shreds - and without one single solitary thought for air-safety. You have only one thing that you can do - go straight to the American Embassy and solicit their assistance to do just one thing ; get you and your family out of Austria with all you can salvage. God is good, and the Baptist Church is good - but even He cannot persuade the Austrian Law-Enforcement to stop playing at being serious law enforcers and start thinking about air-safety. "When in Rome, you have GOTTA do as the Romans do" or else....
Oh most definitely keep Knuth in mind - well worth a look - you might want to try to get a look at one of the volumes by asking at your local library. Of the three, I'd recommend "Sorting and Searching" if you wanted to borrow just one volume of "The Art of Computer Programming". "Sorting and Searching" is volume 3 of the series. If I may offer you another thought, I have a one volume - and it is a very slim (so not heavy) volume - book which was a great help when starting to try reading into programming, and which I still refer to once or twice a year. It is "The Elements of Programming Style" by Kernighan and Plauger (two rather well-known gentlemen of whom I'm sure you've heard). By the way, if you want to ask at the local library by, it may be useful to know that "The Art of Computer Programming" is published by Addison Wesley and "The Elements of Programming Style" by McGraw-Hill. Hope you have as much fun in this business as I do - it'll be difficult to have more.
You're going to look at Knuth's book ? If we're still talking about "The Art of Computer Programming", this is probably (in my opinion) not the place to start. There are three large, heavy volumes (and more to come ?) and they each present a detailed look at what is essentially a branch of a mathematical art form. If you're just starting out with books on this subject, you might want to try the O'Reilly books first - just to get the habit, so to speak. "The Art of Computer Programming" may come as a shock to you, sir, if you're new to this type of book. That would be a shame, since Knuth is really very rewarding - once you have the habit. Good luck, anyhow.
Well lucky old you - you can obtain the paper version. It may come as a surprise to you but first, you ain't the only person in the world and second, some of the rest of the world's population - myself included - couldn't get a copy of "Wired" for neither love nor money. To presume to speak for those of us who live in the far-flung corners of the globe, we're quite grateful to the editors - for the obvious reason. To mention your wish for mod points, I'd need no mod points to treat your post as I think it should be treated. Small consolation.... if I rolled it up tightly I would be unable to.... why, put it in a bottle and kick it out to sea of course. I live about 120 miles from the coast and I lack the time. The thought of kicking this bottle any place else - and I do have at least one idea - seems equally impossible . Shame. And shame on you, you egoistical twit.

Daffy Duck you say. You sure that they didn't think it was Daffy Duck that was using the computer ?

With all respect, no, thank you
Does seem a little unusual. Lets hope they get what's coming to them.

Surely is drivel - but useful drivel. Good of you to take the time.
Just as information : cat meat is not white. Might be useful info if you eat oriental food.
There are worse things. Did you hear what happened to the fellow named Rod Long - you know, the porn movie fellow ?
There very definitely is someone over there hiding in the dark.

Personally I already stopped. Lot of my friends are happy with Microsoft. I find Bill Gates to be an admirable fellow - for a marketing specialist.
How did you do in the Powerball Jackpot ? Might be useful to settle this question.
I think we should all wish this lady a lot of luck - she's already got a lot of pluck.
And there, brother, you've said it all.
Your idea consoles me. I imagined this idea on my favourite white-box and the name "Thunderbox" sprang unbidden to my mind. Your idea is good.
