...trees!
whenever i can't find a solution to any given coding problem, what do I do...
... i look for a post (this can be a random post non-related to my prob) from rogerborg...
they are always eloquant and 'politically correct'!
That's a damn lie. Those commies pay you anyway regardless of whether or not you shoot anyone. What kind of a performance incentive is that?
Question: since we tend to get a generic goblins and fairies project announcement most every week, why would anyone choose to contribute to your project? What's so special about you, or your team, or your project?
Oh my sweet merciful Lady of Hannigan, this again?
With all due respect, I submit that you misunderstood your own question, which takes some doing.
...and a personal favourite of mine...
Code: Select all
Answering a noob question is like having sex with a midget: there's a wonderfully satisfying sensation of being a giant.
Always words of wisdom that 'strike a cord' with me! My hat is off to you!

So long? I doubt he's going anywhere ^^
One of those days, I'll have his kilt hanging at my doorknob ^^
And you know how I'll do that? I'll offer him a certain lady oiledd and bound on a silver platter

I hope not, wandering in this forum would be tastless if he did. That was just supposed to be a reference, probably not the best one but the only one that came to me

A couple more gems :
As a youngster, I got my career advice from a wise old guru who lived in the wilderness. Well, by wise old guru I mean tramp, and by wilderness I mean the public toilets in the park. And by career advice I mean, uh... a lifetime fear of public toilets.
Uh oh, I think Saturn's account has been hacked. There's no way that the real Saturn would post anything so mellow, balanced and constructive.
Irrlicht is a great engine, because it's so easy to understand that it has many forks.
OGRE is a great engine, because it's so fully featured that there's no need to fork it.
Crystal Space is a great engine, because... uh... because... they just try so darn hard.
If someone wants to argue the key points of my post in the lights of mikademus' first post, I'm all ears.
I think I'll pass, for much the same reason that I wouldn't enter a kissing competition with a cobra.

Just spotted this thread and will join in..
