Xeon, It is late, and I have had a long day, still I can not resist the following post (especially since it is the general discussion area

---

CPUWhiz pal.....if I remember correctly, you told me you had 2 grand-daughters. In that case, you really should quit your job and enjoy the rest of your life! Life is short! Really, u shouldn't stress yourself out. How about a world tour? :);)

I know your current physical location (within a few hundred kilometers or so), but that does not begin do describew where (I believe) you are from. In fact I do not think "light-years" even provides a reasonable set of units

Noooo! I'm from Earth, not from other universes! :eek:

From Simon:

Xeon says : It's darn much hotter than summers in the US, and you can feel the sun's heat everywhere.
Simon says : How would you know when you have never flown before

---

Do you know what does the word "temperature" and "common sense" means?! No! U don't! And u're pretending as if you do!
Besides, Singapore is nearer the equator, pal. Aye~! :p

Quote:

---

From Xeon:The race, for example. The styles of the buildings and roads and culture are 1000% more Western than Asian.
Simon says :Buildings, OK maybe. But can roads have a style?

---

Yes. Look at the pavements and the paints and designs on the roads. I can tell at once which road belongs to the West and which to the East. :cool:

Xeon!!! Looks like Simon666 had done some research on our home country, Singapore.

Relax, CBasicNet! :cool:

Obviously, Simon perceives you as an easier enemy than Solar and he is coming to finish off you first. He might attack you at 12 midnight exact when the year 2002 crosses over to 2003. There is nothing you can do about it!!

---

That's true. Because in the USA, at least Solar pal is protected by the infinite nuclear warheads of George War Bush. But it's better for him to underestimate me. This way, I can give him a total shock. :D

P.S. to Simon, I'm not in Singapore right now , so tonight you need not drop by at my flat after you have finished off Xeon.

---

Now now, Simon pal. Let's not be crazy, k? We can get a good deal and such! How about a free tour to S'pore's red light district sponsored by Xeon PlayTime Inc.?
Not happy?
How about a regional tour where you can play with gurls? Not satisfied??!!!
U greedy buster!
Ok! An tour of the entire Asia where you got darn cute gurls to play with.
WHAT???!!! Not happy??!!! U greedy fool! Fine!

A complete and totally concise World Tour from California, USA to New Zeland. Happy now?

If not, we can discuss about inter-galatic travels and playtimes. :cool:

Ever heard of 'land climate' in geography? Another lesson you didn't pay attention to? A quick search on the internet learned that the average maximum temperature is 31°C in Singapore and 32° in Moscow. How close a country is to the equator tells a lot but not evrything about its climate.

Speaking of which, I'm planning to propose a deal to solarflare : he could take me to Singapore, and in 3 minutes I can drop off a thermonuclear bomb on Singapore just when New Year starts at midnight, and return to Belgium and be in time to celebrate New Year here. It is possible to do this due to the time difference. It is only 16.57 here, and 11.57 in Singapore.


Now serious:

Happy New Year everybody!!!

Xeon : I'm just noticing you at 'Who's Online?'. Are you really still programming at 00.00 AM New Year's day? :confused: :confused: :( Get a life. Or should I say, get a ****? :D ;) :p

I wish everybody for once all the best on Codeguru, and may you be able to pursue your plans for the new year and may your hopes and wishes (money,career,gurls,happyness,world peace (fat chance on the last one though)) come true.

You'd be surprised. If you traveled more you'd notice that places do tend to have styles of road, and that's before you even consider the style of road markings and signs.

If you had some really fast transportation (although it's too late to start now), you could celebrate New Year's 34 times in 34 different time zones. (This is possible because some places, like India, have time zones that are half and quarter hours off of Greenwich)

I know road markings and signs can be different, already seen so in Sweden. But I'm talking about roads, not road signs.

You would need a space ship for that. Concords are too slow and fact is I don't trust that old crap any more after one crashed. That is why I was hoping you could bring me to Singapore quick so I could drop my new year's present for Xeon there and be back in time to celebrate at home. But when I was finished typing, it was too late and already New Year in Singapore. Unless...can your vehicle travel in forluzgs?

Good. Carry and load as many destructive bombs as possible onto your kid-plane. Then, when you're at the peak in the air, the missle system will shoot your kiddy-toy and the entire machine will visit Satan with you. Hmmm......I didn't know I was so considerate. :)

It was yesterday around 17.00 hours, you can see that in my post. I noticed you at 'Who's online', that is not stalking as I was not looking for you but for how many other people where active on that day. I checked the time in Singapore and apparently it was near midnight at your place. Unless you're not from Singapore. Or unless someone knows your password. So don't play tricks on me.

No.....you say u've a darn fantastic memory. Then you should still remember that thread about that attachment programme I made months back. Getting gurls is easy, but giving her a good time so that I won't feel guilty is another.

What do u know about gurls! They're a complicated topic, and the reason why half of the gurls always complain about their boys is cos' they(boys) ain't dedicated and sweet and sensitive enough!
Boo! Maybe I can teach you some tricks, my student. :cool: :cool: :cool:

I see no denial in this group of sentences (I hesitate to call it a paragraph). The first two sentences don't deny the fact that it was midnight in Singapore, and the third sentence doesn't deny the fact that the computer may have been on on New Year's Eve. But hey, that just means he's more passionate about taking us down, right?

By the way guys, and this is serious, Simon's buddy GWBush has been at it again. His new year's resolution was to resolve the conflicts in both Iraq and North Korea peacefully. To do this, he is continuing to load troops in the Persian Gulf. Not kidding. He says it's encouragement for Iraq to disarm peacefully. Is he retarded??

I'm not the one that has to find those gurls, you still owe me 6000,000 gurls. Your memory is not that good isn't it? If I am incorrect, I'll send them back to you, which shows I really doubt your denial.

Your memory is really, really bad isn't it? You asked whether I was a cute **** stalking you at a local hotel. This implies a female, with a chance higher than 98.4 percent of being Asian, according to this information about Singapore and its population by race (bottom of page).

Wrong again. I never stated my memory is good, I have frequently stated and keep stating your memory is not only bad, it is completely worthless. And admit it, you avoided the topic : I am correct about the temperatures. If you have never been there or if you do not look up data, you cannot tell for granted summers are hotter in Singapore than in the US or Russia purely based upon the proximity to the equator.

Stop posing rethorical questions on this board. :mad: It violates my patent on it. ;) :D Now serious : what we in Belgium heard on the news was that he said that he hoped it could be solved peacefully, but that Iraq has not given encouraging signs so far. That is classic war propaganda: we don't want a war, we are peaceful, but the adversary is forcing us.

Juridically (if this word is correct) it makes no sense either: Iraq has to prove it does not have weapons of mass destruction. How can you prove something does not exist? You can prove something exists by showing it, but it is virtually impossible to prove something does not exist, that is a luxury only possible in mathematics and physics.

The US and England say they have proof he does have nuclear weapons but have never shown any piece of credible evidence for this yet they esteem it necessary to go to war without giving any other explanation to the people in their country other than to take them on their word. That is not only bad for a democracy as a lot of people believe politicians are liers, which seems to be confirmed.

Oh, and before I get issues again : sorry for this little piece about politics which probably violates the AUP. But I believe one should be able to give his opinion as it is something that concerns and troubles a great deal of the world's population, including programmers. And as all small children say: I didn't start. ;) :p :rolleyes:

A while ago I listed the things that Bush has done since he's been president, and it looks awful. Bush really has caused this country to have a lot of problems, and I can't wait 'till the government returns to a balanced (and not republican) control.

[edit]
The list is here, in this very thread in fact. That was two months ago; since then he's done some more stuff that could be added.
[/edit]

For the last time : I'm giving up. I'm not gonna waste my Internet bills arguing on impractical things. :cool::)

For Simon666:

A road style will not be just the asphalt (or whatever it is made of) but also road marking. And looking at the surface and the road marking can sometimes be enough to have a pretty good idea on the coutry you are in.

If to that you add a look at the road map (is it long straight lines or are there a lot of curves, is the road large or narrow, ...) you can have even a better idea.

I'm not too familiar with asian road so I have no idea what can make them different enough to see a difference between asian roads and western roads, but I can tell you I have no trouble to make the difference between a Canadian road (I've been there in September) and an Irish road.

Anyway, happy new year to everyboby. :)

There is as far as I know one person with the name of Xeon at codeguru (Xeon II never posted, and Xenon's last post is at 04-07-2000 ) and nearly all regular members at codeguru know who you are. I know what I've seen.

This is not that off-topic as having a picture of somone having a road in background could be a way to know where he is from ;)

And as for the example, have you ever seen an american movie? Look at the road style. Are they the same as the belgium roads? I doubt it! :rolleyes: Anyway, I can tell that it's no Irish road.

We don't have roads. All we have is open mud pools. Have any of you ever seen road construction workers? I think it is like the monster of Loch Ness : a lot of people claim they exist, but people rarely have credible proof to support this. :D

I am not kidding, but I seldom notice a lot of road construction workers doing something. I once thought of putting up a website "Road construction workers, do they really exist?", where you could follow the progress of the road works near my work place with jpg's at specific times of the day. Problem is I don't have a digital camera, those things are rather expensive so I can't buy them, and I don't want to risk somehing happening to the one from work.

Do you people also have experiences with this kind of things?

I think Ireland is probably worse than Belgium. I'm not sure any western developped, ... country can have road as bad as Ireland, even more if you consider that Ireland have not been at war or anything since 1922! There's no freezing either.

What I have noticed is that where the road of the south of France can resist big rains for years, Irish road end up with a lot of pot holes after only a few small rains.

And about road workers, they are also some of the worst workers AND planners. Not only they take ages to build roads, doing a poor enough job, but it's also their religion to dig into new roads less than a month after building them. I know this happens in other countries as well, but here it alwyas happens.

As a comparison, back to Canada. There, the roads are really damaged every winter by a real cold. Even then, the roads are usually MUCH better than a lot of recent Irish roads.

From my most recent travel memories, I think Egyptian and thai roads were much better than Irish roads as well.

And I don't feel like insulting Ireland: all Irish people I talked with agree on that.

Oh, by the way : here is substantial evidence Xeon was active at around 11.50PM Singapore time on 31 december 2002. You can set the time to singapore time by choosing 'User cp'->'Edit Options'->'Time offset'->'(GMT+8:00 hours) Beijing, Perth, Singapore,...'. In case Xeon deletes that post, I hereby attach it as zip file. I just want this settled as I do not wish to be known as a liar or someone who sees things that are not there, which is the impression you could get by Xeon's denial.

:eek:

U're sick and u're freaking me out seriously, Simon! I never saw a guy as XTreme as you! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

The roads aren't mud pools, it is not that bad yet as I was kidding a bit. :D But most roads are in deplorable state, and our highways seem to be more sensitive for damage by heavy trucks than that of the Dutch.

Tell me about it. :rolleyes: The same kind of thing happened in my street at home around ten years ago (by these words you can already suspect the poor state now in some parts). They broke open the road for a couple of weeks to renew it, and although not 'within the month' - probably for illustration - but within a couple of months they broke it open again for gas/electricity/water - don't remember exactly.

At my work they are fortunately taking the opportunity to lay sewers while they are busy. However, it seems there planning is complete nonsense. They have thrown open the road for about 1.5 km, which is a rather long piece. This is a busy road in Ghent and the number of lanes is reduced from 2+2 to 1+1. This is a rather long piece and they do not work with so many people on it so on large parts you often see noone.

Theoretically, you can indeed throw open the entire length instead of doing pieces at a time as the rate by which cars get through is determined by the presence of a bottleneck, not the length of it. However, this causes a higher chance for accidents and bigger trouble for bikers to get through. There are a lot of bikers as along this busy road there is a school. On this long piece there are also several cross points so this causes more cross points to be problematic over a longer period of time and again a higher chance on accidents (witnessed one already) when they do a long piece at once over a long period of time than a continuation of shorter pieces.

I'm very upset about it and the whole thing leads to absurd situations. I've really thought of putting up a website on this shamefull thing. The worst thing is that I have received information that engineers (!) apparently keep themselves busy with the planning. I would really like to see these people once. I could give them a copy of a Dilbert comic.

In Belgium you will find many people admitting and complaining about that one too. Road works also seem to happen near election time. I wonder why? Most of the time people aren't thankful but rather pissed.

Why do you keep denying this and other things? I have shown proof that you were active at around that time, that you say I am an Asian female,...

Whatever the probabilities of being Asian aroud his place, he never said you were Asian. Even if the probability was 99.999%, you could still be white.

And he never said you were a female, but pretending to be, may be to try to stalk him, frame him or whatever.

Now you can wonder what Xeon was doing, "visiting a local hotel"?!?!?! :rolleyes:

About Xeon being late on CodeGuru, I don't know and don't care. May be he was. I think I also remember a late post from him, but It is as good being on CG at midnight new year'eve than being in bed ;)

Simon, for some reason it is bad manners to prove someone's flaw. Out of decency I recommed you drop the subject.

As for road construction in my country, people tend to do something to a 30 foot stretch of road, blockade a 150 foot section around it with orange cones, put a couple construction vehicles in the area, and let it sit for a few months. I guess they think the road should repare itself from here. I dunno. Sometimes these people leave huge bumps in the road while they're "constructing". Still, it is nice to have paved roads, even if it takes decades to do it.

Oh thank you so much, my suporters! :)
I'll send SolarFlare and Elrond my own Xeon collectibles soon. :D

And he never said you were a female, but pretending to be, may be to try to stalk him, frame him or whatever.

---

Right. But Simon has a nice talent of twisting words. It's really a waste of time trying to prove him right. There were 2 times in the past when he got overboard in the forums and Gabriel told him off in public. And he twisted Gabriel's words from black to white, white to black! And guess what? Gabriel ignored him after that cos' it's kinda too silly! :cool:

About Xeon being late on CodeGuru, I don't know and don't care. May be he was. I think I also remember a late post from him, but It is as good being on CG at midnight new year'eve than being in bed

No. Seriously, most folks in Singapore don't celebrate the New Year as much as folks in other countries, especially the Western ones. Yeah sure, some folks do, but most don't.(at least over here)

For the Westerners and the Christians in particular, their New Year was around 2 - 3 days ago.
But for us Singaporean-Chinese, our official New Year is around February 2003. The New Year of the Singaporean-Malays is also on some other date which I can't remember. The New Year of the Singaporean-Indians is around December every year, if I remember correctly. That's why!

So, that means you guys won't see me around February 2003 for a few days. :D

Simon.......what do u know besides coding and linking! Really, I beseech you to find out more about countries and understand their roots and such. Just blindly searching in web sites wouldn't help. The facts might be right, but the truth is that if you don't experience something yourself, you won't be 100% right in some special circumstances. Aye~!

Simon, for some reason it is bad manners to prove someone's flaw. Out of decency I recommed you drop the subject.

Indeed. Solar might be younger than you, Simon......but even he knows the meaning of being "nasty" and "mean".

Assuming there's this **** who said wrong things or did some ironic acts and embarassed herself in class etc.
Assume that I'm the only one who saw that.

In the name of God and the Cross, I would never go so far as to prove that she did those stuff and show hardcopy evidence.(in this case, probably a hidden-cam or something)

A decent man would never do anything that puts young boys and gurls and folks in a spot! In our case, Simon......learn more about the meaning of "jokes" and the meaning of being a nice guy.

Having said that, Simon pal.......I've forgiven you time and time again despite what you did to me. I remember you having an animation of my previous avatar being destroyed in a gory manner, posted in Codeguru.(folks who have seen it will be shocked and think he's a total pervert)

Again, for the 3rd time, I'm gonna forgive you and let there be no ill feelings between us.
Besides, friends are better than enemies, right? :)
And no.....you don't need to say sorry whatsoever.

Just reply to this post with a smile would be really nice. :):):)

I think Simon's about to bust out his angry eyes :mad::rolleyes:

:cool::):):)

I know he said whether I was pretending to be a ****, but how could I do that in a believable manner if I am not a ****. Xeon has doubted this in the past a couple of times ever since I pointed out to him that some people pretending to be a girl or with a girl in an avatar aren't necessarily girls. You do not see it in the entire history of my and Xeon's postings, all you do is look at that post and leave out the context. I've been accused of ripping things out of their context once, now it is my turn. :p

And I also know Xeon hasn't specificly said Asian, but it implies so with >98% probability. It also implies otherwise with <2% probability, I know that Elrond, but you have to admit this is on the lower side. Although this reminds me of the story of the statistic that drowned in a river of on average 1,5 m deep while the engineer built a bridge over it. :D

I know it isn't bad being on Codeguru at midnight new year's eve. But if it is for programming (although this site is intended for it ;)) it could cause some concern. It could imply a serious deadline, or having a lot of work, or being a work-a-holic. I still enjoy programming for a living, but not until midnight you know.

Xeon, I know new year is different for the Chinese. But I don't know whether our 'New Year' it also 'New Year' for Singapore with all its different ethnicities. I also never expressed anything else but concern about you if it would be New Year to you that you would still have to be programming. If that isn't nice I don't know it any more. And don't tell me that about other countries. We have all kinds of people from other countries at the university so I probably know more than you. I had a guy from Vietnam once and I know they also celebrated chinese New Year somewhere around february. The festivities over there last a couple of weeks (2-3, don't remember exactly).

Xeon, once again, I never said you did something wrong, like the girl in question. I only expressed my concern about you. If that isn't nice I don't know. I even held this poll 'Who misses Xeon' when you were gone. It is hard for me to admit, but I do care about you. Happy now? :rolleyes: You know as well as I do that I rather like to tease you and that being a bit nasty is my second nature, why else would there be a 666 in my name?

Aaaawwww... The skin of my face is hanging loose in rips. All those years of being spiteful, nasty and mean without smiling have made the skin near my face be so tight that smiling would make it rip. Yaaaarrrgghh... I am maimed for life. Xeon has finally found a way of eliminating me.

Nah, just kidding in my own (sick and twisted) way. :D

Yes, you might have all kinds of people everywhere in your universities, but I don't care! No one knows Belgium more than a native Belgian, and no one knows Singapore more than a native Singapore. :)

Ok! All's fine then! It has been said that duels, spites, fights, wars, battles and rages turn people from strangers to aquitances, and from aquitances to friends, and from friends to pals, and from pals to brothers.(or sisters, depends)

Since your golden words made me sob, I shall forgive you and we shall put everything behind us. :)

Right. Anyway, I'm sorry too if I was too nasty. That's because I'm darn sick of you behaving in a twisted way.(which is 100 times more twisted and XTreme than me)
Aye~!:cool:

Have to go now, so see you folks. :D:):):D
Xeon.

Hi, Guys!!!
Nice to hear U again! :)

Welcome back, Dimm_Coder! So, how's your Christmas and New Year? Maybe you shouldn't spin too much. It makes me dizzy. :D:D:D

Look at that! Oh that was beautiful! If only everyone could have a success story like that. It made me tear when you both apologized to each other. It's better than a sitcom. I'm glad you guys are pals again.

Welcome back dimmy!

It is acquaintance. Seems you are the dumbest codeguru.

As you can see, you're not rid of me yet. :p :D As nasty as can be,

Simon. :) (Ouch that hurts. I need to keep practicing.)

So that's it, it lasted a whole two minutes?

I didn't notice you were replying at 'Who's Online'. I have even never noticed you. You are probably in Invisible Mode. If Xeon does not want people to spot him at 'Who's Online', he could turn that option on.

That is not sarcasm. That is what we call 'advice'. Xeon has accused me of stalking him many times, just because I have discovered and am using the handy option 'Who's Online'. This option is however not hidden somewhere but also used by many other members. 'Invisible Mode' can be set in the 'Edit Options' of your profile.

Oh by the way, can you explain why and how I am gloating. I looked up the definition and couldn't find anything that applies to this situation.

Well, since you claim to have won the argument, and now you're doing what could be interpreted as throwing it in Xeon's face, that qualifies as gloating. The definition of gloating (which apparently that site doesn't include (strange...) is to take pleasure from humiliating another person whom you beat at something. In this case, an argument.

Sorry, but when I am up late (21.47 local time now) my brains tend not to function fully any more. That is also another reason why I was wondered Xeon was up so late.

Like I said before frequently, I'm not trying to beat Xeon, I'm trying to prove I'm not a liar and I know what I've seen. And this seems like you can't leave this conflict behind you. I was just trying to give some advice to avoid future conflicts.

fine, take the last word.............not!

I didn't want that here, I just wanted to test the limits of the [url] command here. So I used what I had available. What I've discovered is that [url] does just about nothing except link to a page. (Well what else is it supposed to do, SolarFlare?) A bunch of other stuff. For example, as Simon pointed out, mouseovers. Also, rather than the testing area, i figured why not test it out in my signature, because it's easier.

Of course it is! It's sucha' romantic comedy!
YUCKS! No no......I'm not a gay. If Simon was a ****, then this would be a romantic comedy, like that recent movie which starrs Hugh Grant and Sandra Sweetie Bullock tart.(pretty cute!)

But since Simon is a man, it's considered a kind of political movie : Of Men and Boys. :D

U're crazy, Solar! :D:eek:

Simon is currently the No. 1 Linking master in Codeguru with all kinda ways and code of embedding links in text!

And now, SolarFlare is gonna outwin him by doing a mouse-over effect when the cursor moves over his avatar????!!! Attack of the NeRds??!!! :D:D:D

No, I wasn't trying to outdo Simon, just save myself a visit to the Testing center. Geez, nothing gets by Simon. I just liked the convenience, i wasn't being nerdy or anything. You yourself have made posts in the testing forum, Xeon!

Anyway, Simon's gonna insert Flash-based avatars and JavaScript roll-overs in his next wave of Codeguru posting technologies. :D

Oh! By the way, I also realised that you've become another Platinum Plus, Solar! U're posting nothing in the programming forums nowadays, but you post tons of nonsense in these forums! :D
This is good, though. U help to reap up the hits in Codeguru and that's cool.:D
