It's rather the opposite of a mouthwash ;)
Hmmm... are they those candy bars where you can suck liquid up through them??
No, not really. Check this meaningful discussion about Oreos to know more ;)

There's a word for posts in technical forums that are irrelevant to the question at hand (no I'm not talking about mystery meat).Quote:

To be sincere i really felt pity for you.I was not familiar with CG before.When i sarted posting my threads the first post i got included criticism abt u.Just wondered who u r and now i know that u r banned, coming in different names.
See who ever u r,what's the need for u to let others criticise u(destructive).Why u r giving the opportunity to let urself down infront of others?You do have urown integrity.You should never let it down at any cost.
My humble suggestion:rather than posting to general discussion forum, u can concentrate more on technical sessions. It will add value to ur posts.
Don't feel bad on me.
Its the truth.You have to realise it.
Sorry for posting to an open forum

What does "ad hock" mean? This guy(American) in my company loves to use and abuse the phrase, but I have no clue what it means. He's one of those "Process Manager" people :rolleyes: , whatever the fudge that means.
spur of the moment kinda thing based on a singular thing. Like suppose there is a critical bug in your code that just cropped up, you'd have an 'ad hoc' meeting to sort it out...Quote:

Well, you could go OK or even Okay, but if you go Oh Kay you might get a totally different result... ;)
Some friends and I were just talking about drive-in movies (we don't have them here in the UK) and we ended up a bit baffled.
Are they "year round" events or very seasonal?? We figured that in the summer, it would be too light to show pictures outdoors (unless the movies start very late) whereas in the winter it would be much too cold for people to spend two hours sitting in a stationary car. Either way, we couldn't imagine them being very popular.
And how does the sound get to your car? Presumably they don't have massive loudspeakers because that would annoy any nearby residents - so do they broadcast the sound to your car radio or something?
Most have closed in the US, that I know of. There may be a few.
In the old days (as a kid) they had transmitters that would let you tune your radio into a station that wasn't being used, to tune into the movie.
At 8pm-830pm (or dusk) they'd start a double-feature.
Oh, I just found this thread. I had a lot of fun while reading the first page. John, correct me if I'm wrong, was it Oscar Wilde that said that the only difference between Englishmen and Americans is, of course, their language? :D (I don't remember the exact quote but it was something like that).
It was indeed Wilde, in his short story The Canterville Ghost (1888):Quote:

There is a similar quote from George Bernard Shaw, which I rather like:
"England and America are two countries separated by a common language."
Oscar Wilde dreamed up some pretty scathing quotations about America. For example:-
or this one:-Quote:
America had often been discovered before Columbus - but it had always been hushed up.
I guess he wasn't a big fan of the USA :D - but this is one of my favourite 'America' quotes from Dr. Laurence Peter (author of The Peter Principle)Quote:
America is the only country I know that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.
There's a compliment in there somewhere (I think :confused: )Quote:
America is a country that doesn't know where it is going but is determined to break the record for getting there!
For anyone who doesn't know what The Peter Principle is, it's a theory (don't know if it's a scientific theory or a humorous one) that tries to explain why big companies tend to get saddled with incompetent managers.
According to Dr Laurence Peter, in any hierarchical organisation people tend to get promoted until they reach their level of incompetence - after which, they stop getting considered for further promotion.
Therefore given enough time, the vast majority of a company's management team will incompetent at their jobs. Sounds about right to me.... :D
Revisiting this thread got me thinking again about America.... are any of the Stateside coders here old enough to remember an American science & sci-fi magazine called 'Omni'? Back in my twenties (much too long ago now!) I used to buy Omni almost every month. It was always packed with interesting stories and scientific articles but I haven't seen it in the shops for a good many years. Anyone know if it's still being published?
Omni is online, http://www.omnionline.com/Quote:
