I have to admit, I started to look for the code JUST to see if I could optimize it  )))
I think I have a character flaw!

I like the answer one below....
Quote: While it is true that asking regexes to parse arbitrary HTML is like asking Paris Hilton to write an operating system, it's sometimes appropriate to parse a limited, known set of HTML.

If you want to read some great answers, please read the answers from Jon Skeet[^]'s profile. I didn't get much chance to get answers to my (stupid) questions from Mr. Skeet, but as much as he has answered, were some of the best answers in my questioning history. His method of answering a question is just like asking a question to your own friend.

My favorite one is Shog's answer to the question about the difference between JavaScript and Java[^]:
Quote: One is essentially a toy, designed for writing small pieces of code, and traditionally used and abused by inexperienced programmers.
The other is a scripting language for web browsers.

Alexander Yee's explanation of why processing a sorted array is faster[^] (well, in that case).
Not because it has many upvotes or even because I learned something from it (I didn't), but because it's one of those things that no one seems to know about but are very important anyway, and that answer makes it accessible to those people.

Oh, I love that answer. Indeed, it's something kind of obscure and many people (like me) never suspected it, however it makes a tremendous impact on execution speed. And it's a very complicated issue explained in very simple words. Simply brilliant.

Wow, that didn't even seem like an unreasonable question. Certainly a good way to put people off ever asking a question on SO

Now we need a collection from CP
First someone needs to figure out how to make non-article content her visible over the long term. CP's forum archives have been invisible to Google for as long as I can remember (probably because performance is(was?) appalling); and I've never seen a QA when I Google something.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A bloke at work is organising this as a 'team-building' exercise. I put my name down for as it sounded cool and I like football. It's only now I've researched it, I realise exactly what it is. I don't think my Football skills are going to come in handy[^].

Yeah, looks like fun. I have hear that cliff diving is fun too. I don't cliff dive for many, many reasons.

It looks like a kindergarten version of American football, itself a kindergarten version of good old-fashioned rugby.
I understand workplace zero-tolerance policies for violence, but this is ridiculous!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That's called American football (Just look at the padding ).

Replaced the LCD in my son's Acer tablet that he dropped: everything looks like a photo negative now.
Tried to fix the 520ST: All I get is either A) green stripes, B) 20 Bombs, or C) nothing.
Tried to fix my son's Nintendo DSi, which he dropped in the toilet: broke a teeny tiny ribbon connector, so it won't even turn on anymore.
I give up.

Regular listeners may remember how I tried to replace the pull cord in my bathroom light switch in January, it took me a week to get it fully working, with various intermediate states of working along the way.
Last week I had to have two goes at getting a new shelf to stay up in the kitchen.
So it really was highly optimistic of my wife to expect me to be able to wire in a new light fitting in the hallway in half an hour on Saturday evening, and she only has herself to blame that we had no lights downstairs for the rest of the night.
I got my DIY skills from my dad, and some day I hope to be wealthy enough to pay someone to do the simplest of tasks around the house just like he now does.
Sunday was a success though, I managed to get a new picture up on the wall with only the one nail hammered into the wrong place.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Measure twice, cut once?
NOPE. Measure 17 times, then have someone else double check it.
And 30% of the time, it will still be 1/8" too short.
