In management-speak, more-expensive == better, unless less-expensive==better;
But either way, it *will* be expensive.
Also, class='purplehead' is funny in combination with the indecent exposure issue.

Nobody noticed that the current temperature is lower than the "low"?
Yes, sometimes the actual temperature is lower than the predicted minimum.

Isn't it great when one of the voices in your head is a shrink?

Does anyone if there's a Dutch bank that doesn't use Windows ATMs?
Hm, I don't know.
The one in the OP is PostBank I think, and I have seen a Rabobank ATM with a Win2k screensaver active.
Feb 29 broke our software early; in the first week of January. It's supposed to do some calculations with the longest running contracts for a customer. This particular customer had a couple of short contracts and two full year contracts; 2007 and 2008. Yet our software only picked 2008 and seemed to ignore the 2007 contract. It turned out, of course, that the length of the contract was calculated in days, which made the 2008 contract slightly longer that the 2007 one.
My employers Performance Management System is called PMS.

Contestant #1 drinks.
And that makes contestant #1 a loser, how?

That said, the specification to which you reply was somewhat lacking,
As you can tell from my post count, I'm new, and don't know in detail what's expected and what's not done. I'm learning fast here :)

Not to mention that the dry description of "removing bracket pairs"
Dry? I specified them: "()", "[]" and "{}".
@dhromed said:
would pass the string "([)]" as valid,
No it wouldn't. Your string doesn't contain any of the pairs I mentioned.
@CodeWhisperer said:
3. "Imagine you have a string composed of just the chars '{([])}" (curly braces, parens, square brackets). Now, assume that you have normal 'mathematical rules', and that sets of parens,braces,brackets have to close in the right order. For instance "()", "()[]", "(({[]}))" are all valid, "(]", "([)]", "{{{{" are not. Write a function that will take an input string and return true if the string is valid, false otherwise"
I would remove bracket pairs '()', '[]' and '{}' from the string repeatedly until no more removals can be done. If I don't end up with an empty string the original string was invalid.
