See you,

Well, Addison Wesley doesn't have it, but I just realized that I was doing a big confusion: the Comitee offers a PDF file for 18 bucks. The printed version is $175:( . So I think that the swiss price of ~CHF120 is a fairly good one....

Thx, anyway.

We all can see that!!!
Look at the small character line on top of each forum, or group of forums... You'll see your name, and the one of others who browse the page.

Well, the The C++ Standard (ISO/IEC 14882) as resulted after final technical vote of the ISO C++ Comitee that took place November 14, 1997.

Do you have any URL to the book ??

Have nice days, you all.

Cesare I.

Ps:
For those who joined Codeguru only lately and do not know him,
Lothar "TheGreat" was the top 1 in Codeguru - Vb forum
He was so great that after he left the board, it took over one year to Iouri to overcome him in Top 10...
He helped evreyone fast and well, and posted over 3000 answers in a couple of years, in a really free helping mode.

---

It's nice to heat at last about that Cimperiali TheGreat sig stuff... ;) But anyway, you have surely talked about CodeGuru... ;) Is he coming here sometimes?

JeffB - must go change my sig... again :(

Yes, Xeon, I'm back. Just took some well deserved hollidays. I see that some people hurried to declare me dead-and-burried as soon as I didn't post for a week or so. Tough luck for them, I'm not

And I see from your posts that you still smoke something strong - you never wanted to tell us what that is

---

Welcome back again, Gabriel!!!!!!!!!!! If I could, a humble servant like me would be sure to lay out the great big carpet for you to walk on! Oh the Lord Fleseriu! Allow me to drop to my knees and lick your shoes! Allow my humble hands to clean your socks! Oh...(extreme case...... :rolleyes:)

Also, Gabriel pal.......congratulations!!!!!! U just got yourself the Elite member status!(like XEON)
But then, I guess you made 2000++ posts to help others, unlike me, whose posts are 60 - 75% of crap. :D:D

And aye, Cimperiali! U shouldn't be worshipping Lothar like that, pal! I would say Xeon would be a better choice, cos' I think I'm the descendant of AncientXeon the Invincible. :):D

I think I know what your on. It's those ego-boosting pills you keep telling about in your posts. Admit it, you're using them for yourself. :D

The first 10.000 views are going to be reached. I dont know what to say, just one word can explain my feelings wow

Will the CodeGuru server survive the Poll ??? :D

-Sonu

10000 views, as one minute per view MINIMUM, give 10000 minutes of time consuming MINIMUM, that is 166,6666666666 hours..., that is, in days.... OH NO, NOT THAT 666, AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I'M OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!!1

JeffB - okay, 6.94444 days, one full week without a second lost

To JeffB and all those who may be interested and are able to think:
Addiction.
That is the word used by TheGreat commenting the effect of Codeguru - and I know he is right: I spend a lot of time here, instead of enjoy the sun or the like...
I do believe he will not come back to CG, as he really seemed scared to fall again in the "Q & A addiction"

To the only other one:
First, I do not know the meaning of "worshipping" - and I cannot check right now. But if it means "to follow" or to take in high consideration, and you're inviting me to take you in higher place well:
Xeon, beware: you should meet Lothar before speaking. And it would be definitely better you do not meet me :mad:
(Ehy, before someone get impressed: I am kidding again ...well at least about the "definitely better " part.
But Xeon, please, hands off from Lothar!)

What a lazy man!
Whay didn't you provide a dropdown with all famous countries? Why do I have to be hidden with "Others"???!!!

I found two Srilankans in this forum including my self.

May be there are more than that.
What I'm impresed is it is more than Central America ,Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Luxembourgh , Mexico, Singapore

That is Seven Countries in the list.



:cool:

I dont think that it is so strange. Perhaps this person (I am not this person) cant say more than "You are so right" and it is simpler to quote than to tip it! :)

At least the user could write one sentence like "You are right", cause this looks like i would rate my own threads !!

Good morning. My name is Xeon, appointed barrister and attorney of Brad Jones the accused.

By "lazy man", I believe u're refering to Brad Jones the Great, cos' he's the only one who can modify the polls here.
Now now, KYG.......a few points to consider.

1) My client, Brad Jones, is a busy man. He has to read through each and every post in this forum(and several other forums too) till his eyes are sore and such.

2) It is not possible for my client, Brad Jones, to modify this poll and the countries using a drop-down combo box, like what mention. It might be possible, but tell me, using your logical senses, is it gonna be that easy?
First of all, imagine this : this forum software is bought off the shelf. To customize the layout of this poll to such an extreme case would require so much darn resources, both hardware and software. Plus, how many man-hours and how many programmers is needed? And lastly, how much time and money will need to be spent on this?

3) YOU, KYG, is from New York, America.......a.ka. the United States of America. Is America(U.S.A) not listed on the poll? Or are you kinda retarded?

Your Honour, please grant my client, Bradley Jones, innocent of any charges that the accuser plans to heave upon him.
Thank you.

Please please, Cimperiali! :)
I'm scared of your preaching, k? :D
Ok, ok......u win, u win!!!!!!

Lothar is the man! Lothar is the lord!
Lothar is the nemesis of all obstacles!
Lotahr is the coder, Lothar is the conqueror!
Lothar is the nemesis of all evil!!!!!!!!

Happy and satisfied now, Cesare Imperiali Lothar????(a.k.a. Cesare Lothar Imperialman) :D:)

this thread slowly gets not so much used as it was in the last 2-3 weeks.

There I was 5 minutes out of my room and I had to read for half an hour the new posts, now it is that over the day there are max. 3 new posts.

Is there nobody out there, who wants to tell something about his/her country??

I had a nice discussion with Chùa from Vietnam. I know him from Codeguru because I helped him a little bit and so we began to write mails. I think this thread is very simmilar to this conversation. Except everybody could read the "mails" (<= posts).

Just write about the language, oh we had it, the food, we also had it, something else, but please write something!!!!!!

AH, MUSIC!!! Lets write about Folksmusic of the different countries!!!

I was very busy today, otherwise i would have post something. Currently i am working on a unix system with a managament software called "Webmin". Does nobody knows something about that ?? more info about webmin

Sonu

er well well well, we are flooded...
As many of other countries had been in the recent months.

It's only the south east of France, but it seems to be quite important. I would say the centennal flood (I read somewhere that a centennal flood should happen on the Seine, and a ig part of Paris'suburbs will be under water). This is not a legend. I 've seen picture of the 1910 flood near Paris, the river Seine had raised of several meters over its 'bed'.
It is supposed to happen once in a century (according to the movements of the Earth and the Moon and so on...)

Is that a subject you want to discuss?
I heard there is people from Austria here. You were flooded several months ago. Maybe you are abroad but your families might have suffered from this?

hummm I think that is not a 'happy' subject. But we can be serious a bit.
Tomorrow I'll think about the americans.


M.

Hey!!! did you see ??? French have 5 votes now!!!! :)

My sig starts to make its effect, you think? ;););)

No I was glad not to be in the regions that were flooted.

It was ver cruel!! About 3 or 4 weeks after the flood I was in this region and the people there made it that you cant see anything about the flood!! The only thing: you could see in the trees (TREES!!) where how high the water stood. In this region the tree was not clean.

We ate in a pub where the water stood about 80 cm in each room!! And for them everything seemed to be ok!! (And the food was very excelent!) I am so happy that the wine that grows up there is ok. You have to try a Riesling from there!! Very excelent!

Cu tomorrow

Little Austria has 7 :p :p :D

I don't know what I wanted to answer...
Must have been not important...

I just wondering... why small countries from Europe are in the list (no offence...) and no Romania on the list? Or Switzerland? I do not want to be but in 'Others' list.
Thank you.

Well, you have to lobby the moderator to get your country into the poll ;) That's what Ungi did for Austria and me for Luxembourg ;) So send him a nice private message asking nicely for the inclusion of Switzerland and I'm sure he'll heed your advice ;)

Hum, no that's too embarassing ;) at least for Luxembourg :p There are a few good heavy-metal bands though (including one founded by my neighbour, but then again some would say that everybody in Luxembourg would be my neighbour :p)

Or maybe a .. Romanian flood instead of the lobby may help ;)

Ahem...I'm from Romania, buddy. :)

OTOH, It's strange that, from all countries in the World, bigger than Austria, Romania was named. C'mon, who else is a romanian, too (I already know a few here on the board)?

It stands for "On the other hand"

LOL! You're forgiven! ;)

I think that there are quite a few Romanians here. Probably also a bunch of Polish people, maybe some from Slovakia and some from Chechia, some Bulgarians, Slovenians even some Hungarians. Lithuanians, Letvians and Estonians might also crop up ;) Well, there are a lot of countries which are bigger than Luxembourg ;) It might actually be easier to list the smaller ones :p

To Cesare L. Imperiali :(we all know what the 'L' stands for, right guys? :D:D)

Ok, ok! Everything's fine now, my son!

And oh! I wanna express my condolences and regards to folks of the USA, especially since today is September 11. :):)

Yes, Sonu.....how sad! How fast time flies! But good things like Xeon don't last for long......aye~! U see, my company, Mikrosoft, is actually planning to take over the world. This is a major mission, and I've no time to play around here......

Heh heh heh! Nah Sonu! Just kidding! Xeon is the man and hes never gonna leave till it's time for him to meet God.......get it? :D:D

Actually, the reason why I put all these words in my signature is cos' I was walking home from school one day after 4 hours of Visual Basic programming class, and I was thinking : if Codeguru didn't help me, would I be where I am today? Of course not.

Granted : I'm not Bill Gates or anything, and I'm not even a good programmer like Elrond or Gabriel, or you, Sonu! But then, thinking back into the far past when I pick up my first book on Visual C++, and comparing against where I am now, I've certainly made quite a good deal of personal achievement.
U know, when I first started programming, u can't imagine how lost I was. U see, I gave up my studies during my last 2 years in high school and spent all the time I have learning programming in C++ and creating Windows programs and such.
At that time, I felt as if I was trapped in the Abyss of Despair, agony and hopelessness, cos' there wasn't any programmer to ask at that time. None of my friends know programming either.

But on 7/7/2000, I stumbled upon Codeguru, and since then, Sonu.......I learnt a lot a lot........and I've also gain pricessless programming experience insight and opinions from folks like Brad Jones and such. I remember there's this long rare post by Brad Jones about working in a software company and how life was like and such.
Without Codeguru, my programming skills, expertise and knowledge would be darn poor and such.

This forum is the best place to learn and learn and help and such.

That's why, Sonu!
A TOAST TO CODEGURU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, Xeon is right, it's definitely a great place here :)

I've learned a lot about C++ and STL just by reading the non visual c++ forum. Strangely that's where I think the real gurus hide out ;)

Sorry, I just came out of Hibernation... ;)

I voted US.

:)

How are things in NY right now by the way?

Is this a smashed washing machine, a trumpet on music score, a plam tree, or me???

I can't add a poll in the poll, so you can answer as you like...

To answer Simon666, I guess NY is quite silent today.

I heard a nice story a few weeks ago. A guy has recovered memory in a hospital. And he appeared to be a victim of last year the 11th of september. His family thought he was dead, even though they never accepted to sign the official paper declaring him dead. Well he's back home! They are very lucky (in a way).

Marina

Hey Guys,

wow over 10.000 views !!! CodeGuru is such a great place, its really nice to be here and especially for me, to be a part from such a great place and especially with you GUYS. :D :D

-Sonu

Hey, Marina, you finally have your avatar :) I should really criticize you though... You definitely don't look scary enough :p

And Sonu... Don't forget that we are approaching 300 votes :)

Marina: what about the blue teeth we spoke about?;) Like that you'll never qualify as an alien...:D
