....Sorry, Angelique/Barn fans, but I just don't buy it. Never did, never will.

Yeah - me neither.  What a crock.

Anyway, the mockery of justice that was the trial of 1840 Quentin.  And Trask's participation in it.

 :P    :P    :P    :P    :P   AND   :P

(No wonder -- the idiot judge turned out to be Dr. Lang)  lol

Ah...at last.  [thumb]

I don't know anything about Jake, but I still think they would have made a wonderful Ben and Mrs. Robinson.

I notice what looks like a symbol of sorts on Grayson's back.  IS it anything?  Or have I been reading too much Dan Brown lately?

Please pardon attachment.  In addition to my email not working, I can't access my webspace.   ???

The images won't show up for me, damn it.  Not in IE or Netscape.  Why oh WHY can't I have at least ONE day with no computer problems??   >:(

Is that a rhetorical question?  I don't know.

49, When you use your two hands to push up your long hair into a mock-Liz hairdo and go around proclaiming, "Because I choose to do so!"
ROFL  [lghy]

------------------------------------

I LOVE dom's list.  Never thought about things I actually DID when I was young because of Dark Shadows.  Duh!!!

Signs you might be addicted to DS:

51.)  When you have a choice between two high schools you can attend, you choose the school that is housed in an old gothic structure - even though it's 8 times farther from your home than the other school.

52.)  Your parents are looking at houses to move to and you keep pushing for the one that has an old grave yard adjacent to the back yard.

53.)  You light your bedroom with nothing but candles because you live in the Old House.

 ;D

How did you know?

14.)  When saying bedtime prayers, your kids don't begin with, "Now I lay me down to sleep."  Instead, you hear, "Oh, great god Rah..."

Since  the most recent up upgrade, is it already on leave words uncensored?

Patti...

I just went and checked.  You have to go into your profile and check the option 'leave words uncensored'.  The board defaults on its own to censoring the words (whatever they are).

SO...if you want some sort of smutty, most probably infantile, private message from me, you gotta go change your setting.   :-*

So!  Is anyone else around here as impressed with this customizable (sp?) feature as I am??  [thumb]

This is just like winning something on the radio!  If they announce your name you have 10 minutes to call.

When I was around 12, I won a WMCA Good Guys Sweatshirt.  I had the radio on, getting ready to go somewhere and I heard...."Connie McKechnie - you have 10 minutes to call and claim your Good Guys sweatshirt."  I freaked!  LOL.

I nominate Penny Dreadful as Esteemed Cousin of the Month.  [hello]

Umm - not exactly. And unless it's in jest, I seriously doubt any programmer would claim to be able to program anything.

No - not in jest.  {I didn't give ya a ------>  ;)}  Just goes to show I have no concept of what's involved.  I'm afraid I'm painfully naive about the subject.  (Probably even MORE naive to think I'd be capable of grasping enough to write a program).   :-

Not that I want to frighten you before you even begin, but in the case of that program, the iostream.h file contains info that C/C++ needs to be able to output the text "Hello World" to a monitor screen. Specifically, it's the input/output stream header file.

I already AM frightened.  LOL  Guess all I can do is sit down and start from page 1.
(Wonder how long it will take for me to throw my hands up in annoyance)
(Either that, or go running away in horror)

One should be careful about what he/she thinks is possible or what he/she thinks we might or might not do

Uh oh... :o   lol

1) allowing members to turn off word censoring for PM's is not only very possible, thanks to the way the SMF developers have designed this system, it would be quite easy to program, and 2) I can install that option later today.

Wow - really?  I would think trying to program something like that would be a big mess.

Well, the simple answer is that anyone who was good in Math in school, meaning they have good logic skills, has the potential to be a programmer.

Well, was never real great in math.  If there's anything remotely related to Geometry, forget it.  But....I WAS quite attuned to Algebra -- if/then, and/or, variables, etc.  Plus, gimme an equation and I'll balance it!  LOL  Would I qualify??

Being a Computer Programming teacher, I suppose I'm a bit prejudiced,...

Whoa - I didn't know you actually taught programming!  So, you could probably program just about anything.

Quote
C and its derivatives, C++ and C#, are widely taught nowadays, because so many other programming languages are based on or derived from them and because programs written in C and C++ can be ported to any operating system with little or no modifications necessary (C# is a Microsoft variation  ::)).......

Ah good.  Wanted to make sure it wasn't a waste of time trying to learn a language that might be out-moded or something.  I picked up the package (C Programming Starter Kit) a few years ago in a discount bin for only $9.00 and never even opened it 'till a few days ago.  If it's helpful in learning other things like Java, etc., then that's even better!

Uh oh....I don't even know what an iostream.h is.   :-
Looks like I'll be clawing my way up from the bottom.

Thanks for the info.    ;D

Ooo.  I didn't know Grayson did a Kojak.  Wish I could see it - even though she looks "frumpy". 
Ya know, Dr. Selby did a Kojak episode.  He was pretty much the main character throughout.  It's very good but extremely sad.   :'(
But what ISN'T sad, is I've got a copy on tape.   ;D
(He doesn't look frumpy)
