      Nope. Can't find that on Urban Dictionary.

      C'mon then. What's a "corking board"?

          I enjoyed MP/M.

          We used it on an ICL PC (based on a Rair Black Box) and writted our COBOL proggies on it many moons ago. Two of us sharing one box.

          I still reckon MP/M is superior to a Windows box.

            Unfortunately it's extremely time-consuming on a large dataset, and I managed to kill the site
            That's why old COBOL programmers like me hate SQL.

            It's a girl's toy solution to a man's job.

            I despair of the inherent inefficiency of SQL.

            I know it is because iron is cheap and programmer's ain't, but it still rankles.

              Isn't that what SP did after throwing up in Carling Wotsit's sink?

                This is what happens when people try to use XHTML but serve it with a text/html content type: malformed code simply isn't noticed

                XHTML was a nice idea, but is best avoided unless you have a system to confirm the well-formedness of the code, and somebody to fix it when it breaks. Stick with HTML, people, unless you want to suffer the ignominy of being reprimanded by a strict XML parser
                Wow!

                That's us told!

                    He went offline
                    I PM'd him too with some constructive advice.

                    I don't think he's even logged in again yet.
