No, I said we can do that too. It's not just admins prerogative.

Seems like cilu is the only person posting seriously about the ban topic. :D

I think it's better to organize an auction for the first place in my banned list.
Starting with 10 beers.
Who gives more?
10 beers once,... 10 beers twice...

Sad to say Hannes, but trying to bribe a mod is definitely a credible evidence against you.

Now that we have spent quite a lot of time on this topic. Let me revise some facts for you Matt. :p

• Ovidu is not the thread starter :p . It was Cilu :D
• Where are the other two evidences you are talking about? :confused:
• The topic of the thread is who gets banned (or am i wrong :confused: )
• Ovidu is offering virtual beer, that cannot give you kick.
• Hannes has been added to the list.
• My accusation is not wrong.:blush:
• The auction is for who gets beers and not for who gets banned. (Althrough I don't drink ).
• Hannes has raised the auction.:(

Good observation there. :D And BTW, Mathew, who told you the that OP can change the topic of a thread? It is neither recommended nor encouraged and may lead to thread splitting. ;) Just in case you'll get into that situation.

Don't worry there is nothing bad.
"La multi posturi" is is just a funny play of words.
"La multi" is from the expression "La multi ani!" ("I wish you many years!") that is used at someone birthday or as a wish for the new year.
"posturi" is the plural of romanian word "post" that in the programmers' jargon can mean exactly as the english word "post" (in our case: post in codeguru forums).
But also it means "fast" (a period of abstaining from food, not only but usually for religious reasons).
So you can translate it how you like more:

• I wish you many posts! or
• I wish you many fasts!

// Thank you very much, Gili!
// I'll do my best to achieve them.


PS.
If someone is interested in learning romanian. Costs only 2 beers/hour and it's no sweat because:

• It's closer to latin than french, for example.
• Has a phonetic writing so don't need learning by heart how to spell words like in english, for example.

Be my guest! :D :D ;)

Of course :D

BTW. I know, according to your public profile you are from 'Friendly South Africa'. But you are often using the '¿' sign which, as I know, is spanish-specific.
Are you spanish? :p

Spanish-specific - never knew that!
No. My surname has a French heritage, my grandmother on my dad's side was from England, and my greate-granny was from Scotland. My mom is Afrikaans - so what does that make me (except confused) :eek: :p

I was just curious what's with that '¿' ;)

Having cough or cold will not be considered on this thread.
Resignation still not approved.
::waiting for other members to discuss on the resignation::

Mathew learned...

Straying away from topic is injurious to health.

Yes, of course. Even our sun will be dead after about 30,000,000,000 years. :)

A bear is OK. At last we'll find out if having a bear pet is cruel or not (I think it's tasty :D ;)).

Yes, of course. Even our sun will be dead after about 30,000,000,000 years.

Estimated life time for the sun is 10 bilion years. It already is 5 bilion years old, so it will die in about another 5. I don't know where you heard about that 30 bilion years.

Yeah I knew it, but I have applied an extra time for deadline beyond the initially estimated, according to the risk management principles. Don't you apply also that in your software product planning?
:D ;)

Though its coming very late but anyways...congratulations for reaching 3000

975 to go!

Yeah.. people do do!!! :D .. btw.. interestingly in Civil Engg the factor of safety is ideally taken to be somewhat around 2.5-3.5 or something similar.. but in actual designs they do take that to be around 7-8 or even more.. that is how risk is managed? Dont know.. but that is why I left civil engg as a career... but looks like things are not very different here as well.. :D :D
