1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions. Or if you must, use the Back Room[^] - but enter at your own risk.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen. For those discussions where you wish to be a little more frank, use the Soapbox[^]
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.

Who's missing buttons and controls under big 7 and big 8 ? Not you ? Well, what if somebody decides to fix our problem by designing us a popup that will diagram, on a mouseover, the tab order of controls on any form or dialog, showing icons with interconnecting arrows unambiguously laying out for us what will happen when you press the Tab key (once, twice, ... ).
Too much work for too little pay ? I thought so.

you are in a almost empty waiting room, and someone still decide to sit next you, specially when its a hospital. So while not trying to be rude, I acted to dial someone, then stood up, walked somewhere random and sat down. And in 5 min some other lady came and sat next to me while coughing real hard ...must be my good looks.

Given all the so-called celebs and non-entities that we've been guilty of "mourning", I would like to take the opportunity to honour someone other than the vacuous. Drummer Lee Rigby was the name of the boy who was killed in Woolwich.
RIP.
