They are two separate quotes. If memory serves they are both from NotAlwaysRight.com/[^].
The first was a mis-overheard conversation between two techs by the Girl: (staring) aforementioned. It was actually "I shall need you to give me the ICQ1 number." I just put it in my sig because it is so open to interpretation. I like double-entendres.
The second was supposedly a 999 call. I put it in because it is so true. (Non party-political, applies to all flavours). IMNSHO

Thanks, now they make sense

Yet many (WTF, RTFM, PEBKAC, PHB, etc.) (the F ones especially) are intended to be code among we in the know.
Many others (e.g. AFAIK, IMHO, FYI) are simply laziness and I think people should just spell it out; we have bandwidth to burn don't we?
How about we do it like the smilies? Have a big list on the screen, simply click on the one you want, and the appropriate text gets inserted?

That's a nice idea, but I don't think people will use it. AFAIK they like acronyms.

Yes, but it could insert the acronym with the acronym tag <acronym title="It's not rocket science">INRS</acronym>.
Or, select the acronym and click the acronym button, and it gets surrounded by <acronym title=""></acronym> .

That sounds quite a good idea. If people used it, but I still think the acronym dictionary, for the really common ones, because people are so used to just typing them that they don't really think of them in an acronymly way.

I think acronymly is an adverb, did you not mean acronymous?

I don't think so. How could I mean acronymous, when my name is there for all to see?

I think that you may have a point. Take a look at this C# question[^]. I'm not sure what the guy is studying!

when I click on 'link' I get <a href=""></a> but when I click on 'link[^]' I also get <a href=""></a>. Am I missing something (e.g. brain cells)?

Hi Richard,
This looks like a bug.
We will add it to our bug list and fix it as soon as we can.
Thanks for reporting, and sorry for inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Elina
Life is great!!!
Enjoy every moment of it!

No inconvenience, just .
I notice many other posters using the link[^] version and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Not being an HTML guru I didn't have the secret.
|
|
|
|
|
The link[^] adds target="_blank" to the anchor so it should read
<a href="" target="_blank"></a>
I find the easiest way is to paste the link directly into the message, then you automatically get both. I've never used the link widgets at all!

No it's definitely still broken, I get <a href=""></a>

Ah the secret is revealed, I wondered how everyone else managed to get it to work!
Thanks for the tip.

Link[^] is a special case that creates 2 links: 1 that is "normal" and has no target, and the link the the [brackets] that has the target.
The HTML generated is:
<a href="http://www.codeproject.com">Link</a>[<a href="http://www.codeproject.com" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>]

Hey I thought you where in France Italy, you just said that to get us jealous didn't you?
(Or did France Italy improve since my last visit and has it got internet now?)

Except that it doesn't seem to under Firefox 3.5 on either my Vista or Windows 7 systems. See also Elina's message above.

I must have been blind. I found the (very obvious) bug and have fixed it in development. Should be pushed to production in the next day or so.

Why don't we have Microsoft Surface category in Articles and Message Board sections as its a growing technology?
|
|
|
|
|
Because you don't develop in Surface. You develop in things like WPF on Vista or Windows 7, which are adequately catered for.
