Nice try - but I was way outside the time limit, and after you gave the answer.
You're up tomorrow! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You can guess that tomorrow's clue is going to be a whole lot easier

Sure, and next time let's keep it simple, shall we? 
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

I have given up work, so much as I've enjoyed the Code Project for these last ten or so years, I don't need the daily news any more.
I try to unsubscribe, I still keep getting them.
I write to webmaster like this:
From: Dave Cross [mailto:dave.cross@ifdev.net]
Sent: 20 January 2015 17:23
To: 'webmaster@codeproject.com'
Subject: Unsubscribe not working
Hi,
I’ve tried a few times to unsubscribe from the daily build but I’m still getting them.
Please fix it!
Dave.
I'm still getting the messages!
Honestly, I expected better from you!
Dave.

Have you always been Dave Cross or did the cross get added after you had this issue?

Mrs P0mpey2?
I can see she'd be annoyed if people called her French names.

You're more likely to get official notice if you post in Bugs and Suggestions[^] (which is automatically emailed to the big bosses inbox).
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?

With the link in the email?
Not that it really matters since it should work.
You might want to try and unsubscribe by changing your settings.
Go to your profile settings (hover on your name in the upper right corner), click on 'my settings' then you'll have a tab 'newsletters and email', un-check all (or just the ones you don't want), click save settings.
That should stop them.
If not (or you already did that) there is definitely a bug and it's best to report it in the sites bugs & suggestions forum.

On Thursday one of my monitors since many years decided to give up life, or rather light.
Ok, no problems, I order two new ones. I really don't like working on two monitors with different properties.
And I can give away the other old monitor to someone having a smaller one anyway.
Yesterday the other monitor gave up.
How big is the chance that two seven year old monitors break within a just a couple of days?
|
|
|
|

It depends on how your nerve control works in those days...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

According to statistics: quite-a-few to one.
According to Murphy: a dead cert.

As a reliability Engineer, I would say probality is very high if those monitors came from same Manufacturing process and design. They are in their wear out phase depending on theie MTBF

Same brand, same batch, same usage.
Come to think of it, this Christmas I almost didn't get home as the electric handbrake of our VW Passat broke in a very stuck position.
With the help of a heat gun, a hammer and a lot of swearing I manage to get to the workshop where I have to change the brake caliper costing just €800.
Two weeks later it breaks on the other side too.
If I had had the engineer from VW close by at that moment, I would have applied the same treatment as I did to the broken caliper.
But worst of all, who the f*** needs electric handbrakes anyway?

That's because cable handbrakes fail once in every 358,976,167,876,563,675 uses, and electronic stuff never fails.
