Good one;) Might work :) Wait for the answer from the others now :p:p:p:p

Are we over-reacting with this poll ( our sigs and so on ) ? (this question was asked at the beginning of the thread, it can still apply)

And ClearCode (TheOnlyOneGuru) is from there!

markmchugh is from Ireland as well, but he has voted before Ireland was in the list :(

Before the poll get famous, i always visited the VC++ forum at first when i connect to codeguru, but in the last time i always check first the poll result and threads and then i am visiting the VC++ forum.

Same again :)

In fact it kind of depends which CodeGuru mails I have in my mail box. But this thread takes me most of the time I spend on CodeGuru, so I don't visit other forums a lot at the moment.

Anyway I don't have much time for visiting, just doing a little to release some pressure :)

Elrond, so it's because of this thread that I can't count on your help anymore?? ;)

for me it also depends on notifications I get by email. But then I visit my control panel to check which got new answers during the day. (and send all those notifications to ****).

Maybe against five as Yves. But you will meet the Devil trying it with my wife (a little kind woman who two years ago was a champion in thai-boxe....you know:the one where you can hit with hands, feet, knees, head....and before you ask it: yes, I usually wash the dishes... ).
But judo saved my life more than once, as it teached me how to fall down without adding the falling damages. Not only when other hitted me too hard, but also when learmning how to skate and so on...

Have a nice day and smoothly falls ;) :p :D :p ;)

I agree on this one, it saved me a few times as well.

Well, yes Kendo is useless from a practical point of view in normal life, unless you happen to be walking around with a katana :p But the reason I took it up has more to do with the fact that
A) You get to wear armour that looks amazingly cool ;)
B) I find it much more intense than other martial arts. But this is highly personal.
C) It doesn't have age-limits. A 60 year old person can actually beat you if he's better.
D) It's highly technical while also requiring you to act on reflex. (this is the same for most martial arts though)

Judo...

Yep, I'm sure the self-control and balance you acquire in Judo helps you. Since I have been skating before I took up Kendo, I can't really say much here ;)

Are you trying to play down my scariness ? ;)

wow guys...... 4970 views. We are going to make the first 5000 views ever on this forum ! A new view record is taking place....:D

Keep it UP guys....

-Sonu

Hehe, but views are not unique. Everytime I refresh the page it adds one, so I guess that's hum hum ;)

Hop, 5002 views :p

My! So, most of you folks here visit this forum at the last, after you've visited other forums first, eh?

Well, for me, I really gotta beat the crap outta Cimperiali, the one who started this thread.
Now SimpleReally.......choose your style of fighting :

Kendo, Wushu, Ju-jut-su, Judo, Karate, Aki-do, Tae-kwon-do, Thai-style kick-boxing, Western fencing, Medieval-style combat(with/without swords or jousts) or Shaolin martial arts.

Why?
Cos' in the past, before I know of this thread, I always visits the Visual C++ Programming Forum, but now this thread appears, I haven't really visited that forum for a week!!!!!!!!(except for a couple of minutes at the most everyday; if any)
I'm so heavily addicted! Oh.......please.......is there any rehabilation center for curbbing this kinda addiction?

It's something like an addiction to the process of reproduction(u guys know what I mean) with 30 nice, sweet, cute, really pretty and slim and nice-smelling gurls with beautiful long and short hair and stuff.......it's un-curable!!!!!
Not even the best drugs in the world can calm you down! Help someone?????!!!!!!!!

Oh God........anyway.....to make the most outta this thread........maybe each of us can get 5 female friends(make sure they're at least average looking and stuff) to join this forum?
If there's 5 men who does this, there'll be 25 gurls and. If 20 men do this, there'll be 100 gurls in this thread and forum. This will help to further boost the page views and the happiness of our lives.
Nice idea, eh? :D

The A is probably true.

I can say that B is true for Judo. May be not the same kind of intensity, but a good fight is pretty intense as well. I have probably never been as tired in so little time than after a 4 minutes fight.

C is true for every martial art as well. A good man of 60 could beat you if he is better ;)

Even though they are useful as well, Judo is probably not the martial art that is the more based on reflex, but it is certainly technical. I have seen one incredibly physically strong man being crushed by another that was much more technical.

But even if it may be useful, I did not learn judo for being able to fight people on the street, it would be kind of useless, except if you are really strong. Other combat sports would be more useful even if you still are a beginner.
