half-mugs
If you fill up a half-mug, are you an optimist or a pessimist?
If it's any half other than the bottom, you have wet shoes.

RE: Milwaukee PC
I like how they give you an option twice as good as their "best": really going that extra mile for the customer, delivering Ultimate speeds that slow.

RE: Submitted (almost) without comment
Duplicated code in the unnecessary "else", I'm guessing... Not the worst coding foul ever.

all of these are based strongly upon personalities and situations that people identify with in UK but may not exist in USA (and vice-versa for Friends/Cheers).
People like the characters from Friends don't really exist in significant numbers in the US, but many people want to be like them: happy all the time, wearing designer clothes, and never having money problems despite being basically unemployed.
People like the characters from Cheers? Well, as far as Norm & Cliff (the "regulars"), they're all over the place.

A: It actually takes exactly five minutes to run. The installer incorrectly sets the timestamp of installed files behind by 5 minutes. fix_timestamps.exe gets the current time, sleeps for 5 minutes, then updates the files so they are correct.
Is there no way in Windows to set a file's created timestamp to a future date (ignoring the "change the system/Windows clock" option)? That seems like a silly way to do that.
[edit] I should have Googled before asking... yes there is: System.IO.File.SetLastWriteTime [/edit]

So then, what does the "pure material" being worth something have to do with anything?
Well, what do you think would happen if, say, pennies were made out of solid gold...?People would melt them down and sell the metal -- which some people do with actual pennies, because it costs more than 1 cent to create a single penny. About 1.3 - 1.7 cents each, depending on current prices of zinc and copper.

Obviously, it's not secure enough if confidential data can be printed!

I also love the "logger": string + string + string + "\r\n"... Classic highschool code. :)
I am not a professional programmer, nor have I had any proper training, so please be gentle: but what's wrong with that? I guess you could use a stringbuilder...
