In most word processing programs, you must use Paste Special to paste plain text and use Paste to paste special text. I'm sure some programmer somewhere thought that was funny at the time.........

Some of you (in the UK) may have heard in the news that one of the private schools in Aberdeen has been closed by the school inspectors. Two of the staff, including the owner/manager, have been arrested for whatever reasons.
The report makes for interesting reading: http://www.educationscotland.gov.uk/Images/HamiltonSchool210214_tcm4-826885.pdf[^]
A lot of the items in the report sound a lot like when my two kids went their for their nursery years (from 6months to reception year). I moved them to the school I went to for Primary 1 onwards.
My eldest is now 9, so that is probably at least 8 years of grumblings by parents for things to actually have happened.
A pretty clear case of management failure if you ask me. Interesting to see what happens next. The council have had to re-open a school that they closed to school the children for the time being.

All things look different with the benefit of hindsight, though.
I think the problem with this sort of situation is often with the staff fearing for their jobs if they rock the boat.
It will be interesting to find out what the arrests are for...

Gee, you could replace "children" with "employees" and "adults" with "managers" and you'd describe most workplaces.

the report also suggests that like real workplaces, the rot starts at the top
btw : read your 'Unit Testing Succinctly' recently - a fine read - what I havnt yet seen (because I havnt really looked), is how to unit test a (for example) thread-safe list - ok, one can argue in C# 4.0 and above, there are Concurrent-xyz's that can be used, but in some respect, they are also a larger hammer than I need
cheers anyway Marc

Wrong. All wrong. This way you have a good laugh, but ruin a great channel to tell old pointy hair anything you better should not tell him straight into his face.
Usually I use a wannabe pointy hair that hangs around pointy hair like a sucker fish. Just tell him what you want pointy hair to know and watch him run as soon as he thinks you are gone. By now you can probably find my last pointy hair jr. only when you take an x-ray of old pointy hair's rear side.

Um.
You expected genuine video of processes that occur on a molecular level? 
You do realize just how small molecules (including Deoxyribonucleic Acid) are?
To paraphrase the other DNA: "Mocelcules," it says, "are small. Really small. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly small they are. I mean, you may think human hair is thin, but that's just peanuts to molecules, listen..."

Not the DNA, I don't believe in Cloning.

1) Nobody is talking about Cloning - that's DNA Replication - a natural process that occurs inside every cell in your body on a very frequent basis, and without which no animal would survive more than a few weeks, since skin cells (for example) last only a month and have to be replaced...
2) Cloning happens regardless of belief: there are documented cases where it has been done in the larger mammals such as sheep, and family pets, and it is relatively easy to clone simpler life forms. Sorry, there is too much supporting evidence to say "I don't believe in cloning", just as there is for the existence of a huge universe regardless of what primitive people may have believed, or even continue to believe.

The one who did it confess he built it from male it was not a Cloning it was false. Cloning never happened and it will never happen it is imposable. Don't be like a sheep that follow anything without real proof.

Um.
I'm at a loss to know quite what to say here - from someone who has shown that he fervently believes what he is told with no proof whatsoever to start throwing words like "never happened" and "impossible" around, and to follow it with "Don't ... follow anything without real proof" is a little hypocritical, wouldn't you say?

Three things:
1. This is how cells are replicating DNA in the body, not how cloning is done by men.
2. The fact that you do not believe in something does not mean it never happened.
3. You should quit playing dumb. Really.

Wow. You really are a sheep.

LOOK FOR YOURSELF. You are apparently just believing what a couple of idiots, who themselves haven't read anything on it, are telling you. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH and you'll find it is true and possible.
