Not a problem, so long as the queues are implemented as indexable structures! Then you can just access the proper index, remove the existing element, then insert yourself (i.e., conk some guy on the head and cut in line).
Visual Studio is an excellent GUIIDE.

" If god had meant for man to not eat raw fish, HE would've made oceans (and rivers) with boiling water. "
This way, we could fish our meal ready to eat. 
P.S. - if you want them salted, fish'em in oceans, otherwise, in rivers.

The Quick Answers section lets you edit the questions (for grammar and spelling).
As a non-native speaker, I believe I can better interpret broken grammar from a fellow non-native speaker than a native speaker can. So even if I cannot answer a question, this new feature lets me edit the question so that other people will have a much better shot at answering it appropriately.

but that's not CP's fault. that's the fault of the flood of lazy and ignorant beginners who want us to do their homework, or write their malware, for them.

Brought to us by lazy, ignorant companies that employee these lazy, ignorant beginners expecting them to produce professional quality work.

Yeah, I know, and don't intend to fault CP for the loss in quality. In the end though, the loser is CP as a whole and people who genuinely make good use of the knowledge here.
I'm very glad that the quality of the articles are maintained though. Ever since the moderation queue has been introduced, I've seen very few sub standard articles. 
Once in a while, I head to the forums to be entertained on a dull day

Do you think this may have something to do with the rip-roaring success of StackOverFlow ?

"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly."

Anyone watches this show on TV or on DVD? My son has fallen for this show (recently) and Comcast only has about 6-7 episodes. I've never seen a Fireman Sam DVD in local stores either. Amazon has VHS copies but not many DVDs. Also there seem to have been various different versions over the years. The one my son likes is 3D CGI animation and everyone uses a very strong Welsh accent that I initially thought was an Indian-accent

 I was a little disappointed after flicking through that site. There was not a single point where Fireman Sam put a noose around his neck before sliding down the fire pole. 
In case it's difficult to tell, I don't like that cartoon. After two months of babysitting a toddler who repeatedly watched those cartoons, I was just about ready to put their videos and DVDs in a microwave.

You just wait until you have children of your own.

I'm not really a kid person. If I could, I would walk into a playgroup session and tell every child there that I killed Santa. So I'm highly unlikely to risk my sanity by having children. My hobbies are computers and reading, not really interacting with other people.

OK, I understand. However, there could be a lightning bolt just around the corner that could have you changing your mind.

Could be worse. Try 20 repetitions of Elmo's song (with video) while riding cross country in a van. Just one of the many joys of grandchildren.

Little ones that age enjoy the repetition. I believe it provides a feeling of security and consistency, in a world where everything seems new to them.
It's not until they're old and jaded (say, six years old) that they start insisting on new videos all the time.
