Re: How many phpbb users are programmers?

That sounds fair enough, theexcogitator .

By the way, where's that "Smart Way to Ask Questions"? Sometimes knowing how to ask a question isn't so easy.

I suspect that's a text I'll need to be studying a lot.

EDIT: Scratch that question. Found it: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Re: How many phpbb users are programmers?

And there it is again -- "uninformed" being equated with "stupid".

What was it that Oddball said in "Kelly's Heroes"?

"There you go with them negative waves again. Think positive, baby. Think positive!"

Just wanted somebody to know that this "idiot" read the thread, too.

Is Using "Newbie" Insulting?

I noticed the use of "newbie (noob)" in another thread and was curious what a definition on Wikipedia might look like.


A newbie is a newcomer to a particular field, the term being commonly used on the Internet, where it might refer to new, inexperienced, or ignorant users of a game, a newsgroup ...

Smart in appearance or dress; stylish.

tr.v., -ied, -y•ing, -ies.

To make attractive, stylish, or up-to-date: spiffying up my wardrobe.

The discussion of the "easter egg", which I couldn't actually find an image of.

But you'll have to excuse me. I just took a second look and see you didn't post on that thread. Sorry about that.

Any chance the "egg" thing was one of those lessons?

Re: BETA4 from the get-go?

Ah, those upper case letters do work, don't they?

DO NOT!

I've run across many examples on the boards where your opinions, Highway of Life, were highly valued and/or sought after, so I guess I've got to pay attention.

I love challenges, but I suppose this would be a bit much, eh?
