Sorry
"Effective STL". Not so long time ago, I buy a "Exceptional C++" and "More Exceptional C++" by Herb Sutter and now have a big fun by reading them :)
I just got Self-Organizing Maps and Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition in the mail. What a coincidence!:DQuote:

So, throw them away now!
From MiCK:
Errr.....no, but if it's those girl-related services or bills, maybe all of us men would be happy to share the bill with you, MiCK. :DQuote:

If that's really the case, spend :
1) 35% of it on your wife
2) 15% for your mistresses(sssss) >:->
3) 50% for the rest of the girls in your neighbourhood(give barbie dolls for the little girls[HOW CUTE!], buy cosmetics for the teenage girls and buy health-care products for the women)
Everyone wins. :o::o::cool:
This isn't the boring thread:) :) :)Quote:

Nah, just kidding! Sounds like fun though.
2 things :
Firstly, to let this thread get alive.
Secondly, to voice out something I never had the chance to, in the past.
Now, now, now...Gabriel.....gimme a good reason why you closed that thread started by Solar?! This is not the first time, k??!!
That thread contains no marketing, no porn, no sex, no terrorist ads or vulgar stuff...and you had to close it?!
The job of moderators in an online forum is to stimulate discussion, not just to ban people or close threads.
Gabriel pal...you really should have a look at the other forums.
The moderators edit the posts at times only when the posts contain full porn or direct advertising links.
They spend the majority of their time encouraging the folks to post and such, and you're just doing the opposite? Closing threads?! This is crazy!
Imagine that you wanna post a reply with an interesting post and the thread is closed?
This is the same as being really urgent and you're trying to get to the toilet, only to find that the toilet door is stuck, and you're helpless.
In addition, I wonder why Brad didn't say anything.
This is getting serious, I say.
I didn't send a private e-mail to Gabriel or Brad at this time because that's direct confrontation, and things hasn't reach that stage yet.
Besides, I feel that the members of CodeGuru have a say in this issue of "closing and mass destruction of entire threads, mindlessly".
Now, if this post is deleted by any moderators whatsoever, then I'm gonna report this matter. You cannot destroy threads without any valid reason.
See? This is what happens when the moderators have too much power, and this is the same as the kind of things that happen when the rulers of any one country has full say in everything.
Lastly, you members of CodeGuru! Shouldn't you be backing me up when you agree with what I say?
Oh yes, and where's the girls? I've always been nice to them.
And dear Mick?
Is this some kinda break up letter XeOn...Dear Mick..Quote:

It's not that I want to talk for Gabriel, but as far as I know, he didn't closed the thread. It seems that YvesM did it to try to win. And Gabriel just prevented him to win by adding a comment. :cool:Quote:

The last to write is Gabriel, but it is said that he would loose if the thread is closed. This way, no one wins. Not even Solarflare whoise ego was just crushed as his thread did not get even remotely as long as he probably expected ;) :D :D
Xeon, you should read that thread prior complaining: it was Yves who closed it. And I am NOT going to overrule his decision. Speak to Yves if you want the thread reopened.
From MiCk:
Nah! Break-up letter? How many times have I told you I'm not a gay, MiCk? :eek::)Quote:

From Elrond:
Yes, I know, but as a moderator, he should think for himself and the good of the forum!Quote:

Aye, what can I say? Solar's ego has hit negative points and I'm now trying to contact his dad to stop him from jumping from the Statue of Liberty. I never thought that matters would have blown up into this, neither have you moderators!Quote:

- knights do not play dirty tricks in a jousting tournament
- a real man will never resort to unclean acts on helpless folks
As a moderator, shouldn't you be doing some real good instead of accepting the negative actions?
And oh, Yves. Drats! How can you do this to us?! I'm so disappointed! Remember the good old days?! How can you?!
Aye~.
I sincerely propose to Brad publicly that the number of and powers of moderators be limited.
In the old old days, there was only 1 unique moderator(excluding Brad) per 1 forum.
Now, Moderator A can destroy Thread A in Forum A and Moderator C can destroy Thread B in Forum D and Moderator E can destroy and edit post C in Thread A of Forum B.
It's a mess!
If I were moderator....I would re-open the thread with my force and liberate those and give them their deserved right to post!!!
Then, after I've re-opened that thread, Brad can un-make me as moderator and reduce my status quo from Member to Slave or Servant.
This is for the good of CodeGuru!

I actually didn't want to make a big issue out of this, but as you insist...
I know that you think of yourself as the knight fighting for the "helpless folks", but you are not aware of two things, I'm affraid:
[list=1][*]There are no helpless folks around you could fight for[*]You are fighting against windmills, if you catch my drift...[/list=1]
Yes, it is a very serious issue indeed. The very informative thread, where the serious CG participants tried to find out who can post the most crap, was closed. This leaves a huge hole in the GCs Knowledge Base. Irreparable, indeed.Quote:

The right to post on CodeGuru is a priviledge not a deserved right.Quote:

Fine! I'm gonna sit back and relax and watch you folks close threads one after another, as well as other atrocities you guys are gonna perform on the threads.
Now, when advertising revenue and forum loyalty falls, Brad....don't drink coffee trying to figure out what exactly happens, and don't flood your rooms with books like "How to keep customers' loyalty", "How to fight against retrenchment" or "Why are my visitors dropping".
Aye~! VGirish is right. I should have joined him and the ranks of the old members long ago. :cool:
Aye~.
arghh mate I'm with you, let use run up the jolly roger and show our colors.Quote:
