    Sounds like a fair plan ... Now I just need to avoid EDIT/ADDITION: The above code is an infinite loop.

    [REQ] [100 + 100] Simple Linux / Mac testing

    This is two separate but similar offers. I have a Sudoku game at the link below which runs on Windows (my OS) with .NET Framework 2.0 installed. In theory, it can run on Mac OS / Linux / Windows if those operating systems have the open source Mono Project installed. The Mono Project is an open...

    [200 EASY Credits] Need someone to create some simple animated GIF images

    Coming from someone who just "learned" javascript ... if you know Java you'll be able to pick up Javascript in a heartbeat. Very similar syntax.

    Nasty viruses

    Deleting files, killing processes, etc. is an impossible way to get rid of spyware and viruses. It has modified your registry and other services to rewrite any files you delete and restart any processes you kill. You need 3rd party software to get rid of it. Which software is debatable but...

    Ages of X10 users

    I'll be most impressed with the oldest person on X10. As you get older, staying up-to-date with the latest technology gets really tough. I've watched my parents and grandparents initially resist and then struggle to adjust to PCs, the Internet, and mobile phones. It's tough. I recall in the...

    Do you believe in God?

    I'm no chemist but ... If there were serious problems with carbon-dating, there would be some phd student, some university lab, or some private lab working their tails off to create an experiment to show that it is flawed. In the case of the phd student, that alone would earn him a phd and...

    Mac or PC

    About 3-4 months ago I bought a new laptop (HP). The most similar Apple laptop: Same Same size screen Equal RAM Similar hard drives Apple's definitely better Thinner, lighter HP's definitely better $1,000 cash in my pocket Rated at 6-7 hours of battery life so I'm assuming HP's better And...

    Do you believe in God?

    Logical flaw. You're assuming either this or that. Another alternative is to not believe in life after death and still follow the golden rule. Or to not believe in life after death but derive pleasure from putting others before yourself. Plenty of alternatives to your binary world.

    150$ totally free to play online poker !!!

    I don't really understand what you just said ... but it sounds like. Those appear to be contradictory statements. But going back to my first line, I really didn't understand what you were saying. I'm good at math too: 11*11 = 121 (see I got past my single digits multiplication tables)

    I'd put my money on this website having a few 8 or 9 year olds with their own sites. Their mother/father is probably a software engineer that encourages them and teaches them this stuff at a young age ... I don't think I was high.

    Learning CSS

    I finally got around to spending some time at w3schools.com (which I've seen posted multiple times on these boards) and now I'm just saying thanks to everyone who's mentioned the site. Great learning site for all sorts of web-related skills.

    Nasty viruses

    Re: Nasty *ss viruses While I'm typically a Windows/Visual Studio/C# guy ... Windows Defender really sucks. There is a thread around here with people commenting on the anti-virus programs they use. Another good freeware program that runs fast scans and finds a whole lot (and has never caused...

    Mac or PC

    Windows most of my life (Apple's some in the 80's and dabbled a few times with Linux). I really hate Apple's business philosophy - tying the hardware to the software and wanting control over everything. I own an iphone and as a software guy I've considered writing iphone apps. However, I was...

    If there is a way to make the poll public (ie everyone can tell where everyone else voted) then I wasn't aware of it. And if I saw such an option, I would have made it private in a poll like this. Some people prefer to keep their age secret. I've got no problem with that.
