Once I voted 4 to an article which had already one with a 5. The average should have been 4.5 but it was 4.33 actually. Yet the number of votes was 2 (normal).
Is there an explanation ? Do I need glasses ?

Votes are weighted according to the voters member status. Platinum members have more weight applied to their votes than do gold, for instance.

That's OK. With the votes both of those articles are getting, they won't be around long.

There are already many unix discussion groups on the internet. Why not use one of them.
Also, please look at the top of the page on the left. Where it says "You're Visual Studio and .NET Resource" - That gives you a hint about what this website concentrates on.

Hi,
Sorry 4 using short cuts, but i think all were clear to you...
still uf you need to waste time in looking for errors in language here, then must say, programmers dont count Cosmetic errors, they are taken care of my admin/designer people. I mistakenly was discussing in similar manner.
Once again, i apologise for using Short Message Service language here in message board.
Thanks & Regards
pooja

It is simply unprofessional. I don't want to spend extra time having to translate some "short cuts". I'd rather read well formed sentences. And the English language already has recognisable and gramatically correct ways of writing shortcuts. They are called contractions and come with an apostrophe.

 It has NOTHING to do with looking for errors. Using SMS speak makes your posts harder to read! Especially for people who don't speak English as their primary language.

Even those days have become bygone. With powerful dictionaries in the mobile, text messages do now can be well-formed valid English sentences without any obscurity or ambiguity of any kind. I don't think any providers in the word nowdays restrict the length of SMS too.

Yeah, the world needs yet another *nix discussion board. It's as if the other 25,000,000 boards out there haven't already discussed everything about *nix again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again ... continue until you puke.

That would be funny if this was a Unix board, but since it's not...

More people are confused about running *nix than almost any other OS I have ever seen. Linux has over 1,000 distributions and all are installed and configured differently. AND because almost all are not commercial, they have little to no support, so the little support you do get comes from inexperienced people that understand it just enough to barely set it up themselves. I have seen more people have Linux nightmares than anyone will ever see happen to Windows users. I may be a little bias, but this is the truth.
I know I am going to be slammed for this post but any Linux user than slams me for this is, for one, on the wrong forum  , two, most likely using a commercial distribution, or three, one of the people who can barely set it up themselves.

Well the people who can barley set them selves up are less experienced users who shouldn't be using Linux. Linux is more for power users, not the everyday user.

At least with respect to Web Development overlap, you can use 'Web Development' forum. PHP, Perl etc. are occasionally addressed here.

there's a malformed HREF in the link to the message in question. ex.:
Do not hit 'reply' to this email</i></b><i>: To reply, click <a target=_blankhref="http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.asp?msg=xxxxxxx#xxxxxxxxxxx">here</a>.</i></p>
there needs to be a space between the 'target=_blank' and the 'href='
|
|
|
|
|
Weird - I've never seen that. The notification for this email doesn't actually insert a target=_blank (at least not that I can see).
I'm scared...

hmm. interesting. i suppose it could be the webmail client i'm using - trying to make sure the links don't open on top of the mail message. i just assumed it passed the HTML as-is to my browser.
i'll investigate further.
sorry to scare you

I think it would be nice for a post starting a thread in a forum to be marked as "Solved" by his author, so that if he got the answer to his question, he could signal it.

That is already possible by the user pressing the modify button and then changing the title of the post - However very few do that. Very few people even take the time to thank the person that helped them - so I don't think they are going to take the time to mark a question as solved.
