... There's something wrong ...
David Bowie has passed away from cancer at the age of 69.
Strange man, strange singer, icon.

Loved his early stuff

I hope he enjoys the other side, he certainly made this side interesting.

We should be thankful that he chose this planet to be weird on.

TBH I never liked his music that much - I can see why people enjoyed it, but not for me. He seemed pretty decent when I heard him interviewed though. Auntie's coverage (at least the bit I heard) was a bit nauseating, more hagiography than impartial reporting.
Still, a sad loss to his fans & family.

Fear the mankini.  
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?

Recently I spend a lot of times on the Diablo 3 forum. Not because they are pleasurable, on the contrary they are so toxic I could cry... But in the sick impatient hope of seeing some yet undisclosed interesting info about up coming patch and also because I have time to waste...
For a change I went to Fallout 4 forums and there, surprise, surprise, forums are also quite toxic! (Although, admittedly, less so!)
All of that to say, I am impressed by the enduring civility of CodeProject forums!

Pfft, you are le n00bZ!oneeleven!!!
I guess it's because the topic is not flooded with kids, that's what is mainly the problem of those forums

It is probably not a fair comparison, games forums vs CP, they are completely different demographics.

Indeed!

Yet surprisingly similar in average age range.
I think has more to do with what you do with a sink vs what you do with a toilet.

My automatic response was to reject that assumption, but thinking about it may be reasonably accurate.
I must admit to considering only known CPers as relevant, I hate numbered accounts for that reason, they get lumped in with the non entities that abound in all forums.

Not an assumption, my good sir! Of course, an average is a statistician's tool, and thus inherently suspect. As the great one said about the categories of lying: "Lies, damned lies, and statistics."
I fully agree with your statement about the numbered accounts. My take is this: CP is a collaborative format, and if someone is not willing to be known, even by an alias, then they're not really willing to collaborate.

You've never been to QA? 
Or posted a less than average tip or article?
Trust me, where there are people on the internet there's written abuse.
Programmers can be some of the worst[^]

In order to solve this I removed the motherboard battery, waited ten seconds, plugged it again and started the computer...
Bios language came in French but apart of that it is working...
Yes, I know it...
I installed a windows 7 into my father inlaw HP computer as I was kindly asked to do so.
Everything went ok.
Today when starting the computer a black screen with some diagnostic messages (memory amount...) appeared the important part of that display is the text:
MANAGEMENT PLATFORM (ME) IN MANUFACTURING MODE
execution of delay in post (originally it was in Spanish)
Press ESC key for the start menu (originally it was in Spanish)
When the ESC key is pressed nothing happens.
The only thing I can imagine of is to reset the bios to some factory values, but... would you suggest anything to solve this? What would you do?
PS: please don't suggest to leave the country or escape my inlaws in case they speak about computers... 
Thank you all!
