    2014 Programmers Survey - What do you Drink During Work

    Need to add "Other" to the poll question if you can... I drink water from our well which is above commercial bottled water. When it is cold I sometimes have dandelion tisane to warm up, in the summer I enjoy spruce or birch beer to cool down. Dont know what those would come under in the survey.

    On Another Grammar Thread

    English is a mutt language that is very difficult to learn. I have noticed that those of us that have it as a second language seem to have a better grasp on grammar than a lot of people who have it as their only tongue.

    American eating challenge

    We enjoy our neighbour's tasty little Dexter cows which are only pastured on organic fields. There is a huge difference in quality between food properly grown and the enhanced crap sold commercially to consumers. I think the trouble in USA for the food chain is that the marketing firms have...

    Target store security breach - Worried? Is the problem being addressed?

    Probably discovered rather quickly. Most of the dwell time between breach and announcement was likely gobbled up by lawyers and spin doctors...

    Target store security breach - Worried? Is the problem being addressed?

    We only use currency or prepaid cards, so point of sales issues are of very limited impact to us. Financially limited to the value of the prepaid card and zero data theft risks.

    Ariel Sharon

    RIP Mr.Ariel Sharon War sucks most for the people caught up in the middle of the political disputes when they degrade to violent acts. The average person really does not care who is lobbing the bombs, they just wants the fighting to stop so they can live without the constant fear of dieing...

    Favourite Christmas Song and Memory?

    This time of year brings back fond memories long long ago of grandfather having time to play games. We also listened to some scratchy Christmas "gramophone recordings" (as he referred to them) and went through the family album.

    UK Headlights

    Never heard of Exceller - Excelsior perhaps? Lots of deviations happen even today at some racing events, its all about money rather then glory. You MUST pay a visit to Canada for Oxford Mills Rally or the Paris Ontario Vintage Rally one year!

    Code for Anarchist - Please post your sample here

    It was amusing when we had a "Blue Screen" as a screen saver, the IT guys would have a melt down if they happened to be in the area and spied some of the computers suddenly rolling over into screen saver, but by their observation it was having some sort of issue... ...added amusement if you...

    Strange fad in th USA

    It is just the uniform look of younger folks these days. Every generation seems to have regrettable fashion statements with the intent of proving the wearer is an individual and independent rebel just like the rest of their generation (and like a lot of us were back in the day).

    Are you an atheist?

    I love the way atheists and agnostics are so hard line on their beliefs that they want to force other religions out of schools, public places, government institutions, etc.

    Missing Mr Fantastic

    Mr.Wonderful looked in on the forum on Sunday... perhaps he is almost done "teaching us a lesson" with the silent treatment and he will burst forth with a stream of verbal diarrhea (in spite of his intellectual constipation)

    Missing Mr Fantastic

    He should have teamed up with the Talliban tribe, it would help define who is not worthy, plus he would eventually end up with 72 virgins and could adopt a name like Ireally Bin Drinkin

    Missing Mr Fantastic

    Probably too busy taking helicopter rides with "Bibi" Netanyahu or zipping around the Swiss Alps with Hillary Clinton in his Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato Sanction II... ...perhaps we can all speculate on his activities until he returns...

    The best web browser

    I will go first and put in a plug for FireFox, seems faster then IE. I have tried Epic and it is faster on sites that are not weighed down with lots of advertising (not so quick on most forums because of that).

    The best web browser

    More of a debate then a techy question as some folks seem to have a certain preference to our browsers that are not always technology based. So what is your fave web browser and why?
