No. It is actually a 2500 rooms building. ;) It currently host the Romanian Parliament. It was named People's House during the communist regime, now it is called The Parliament Pallace. It is the second largest building in the world, after Pentagon. Here is a picture of it.Quote:

Yes... yes... I am well aware that the people would pay for it heavily - like in any Dictatorial rule.Quote:

Well, I have celebrated it like in Romanian fairy tales: "three days and three nights". Now I have to go back to work. Not yet Avalon, not yet VS 2005, just my old Visual C++ 6.0 to make some urgent patches. :D ;)Quote:

Well, that's my eternal debate with my wife. Since I've currently got only two pairs of shoes, she have ten and wants more. I always said "stop here, don't you see what big mistakes Imelda does?" :D :D ;)Quote:

// Projected ratio next year: 3:30 !
Or "You have be build us a second Parliament Pallace, so that my growing shoes collection fits it". :DQuote:

Not yet... :D :D ;)
It's well known: "MFC Guru" as well as "Guru of something" are inferior reincarnations of "The Guru" in the way to the Nirvana. :DQuote:
