I've just found out that I am a solicitor, and didn't even know so, by virtue of having read the Microsoft Windows EULA, and finding errors in it, and proposing to myself how to fix them. I billed myself £60 per hour for having read & analysed it, which I duly paid myself, and then went to make a cuppa coffee. --- End quote --- ;D --- End quote --- Tomorrow, I am going to apply for a position as a "programmer", since I know how to C# templates into "Visual Studio", even if I don't know what they do - will they accept me? I also certified myself as a plumber, since I now know how to turn on a tap. --- End quote --- I wish that was a joke. |

I don't know dude, you tell me :-DD |

Since you can't be bothered to use that, clearly you are just being silly and are not interested in learning anything. Unimpressive. |

Software Engineer: "OK, how large should this buffer be to not overrun? - Well, I could try finding out about the input specification and go from there but, meh, char[256] it is, she'll be alright". Electrical Engineer: "OK, how large should this capacitor be on that power rail? - Well, I could calculate it from the load pattern of the connected devices, but, meh, let's put 1µ, she'll be alright". :-DD |
