I hate people who make comments at the movies or while watching TV. I was watching a cartoon movie the other day and a friend just kept making comments every few minutes on what the scene implied. I finally snapped at them and said:

Firefox 23 often shows the speed of downloads as 'infinity GB/sec'. I saw this sometimes with older versions as well.
Strange bug.

Chrome and IE(!) display a more correct number (usually around 90kb/s. On broadband. Thanks, Frontier Communications). I often go to Ivy Tech just to get speeds of around 3+mb/s. Yes, 3+mb/s.

IE actually displays a logical number. This is just a FF bug (or possibly joke). I also have seen 'i GB/sec', '-infinity GB/s', and 'NaN GB/s'. I think someone at Mozilla might have a sense of mathematical humor.

Just watching a show on old steam trains.. Thats technology from 80 years ago.. Thinking that my father built steam locos at Henschel in Kassel and I am working in an office and coding..

I've already decided that my next personal software purchase will be a train simulator. I have tried OpenBVE and enjoyed it.

I love trains, I'm thankful that I got to ride one of the older trains 1961 while the nostalgia was still there. It's definitely a bygone era.

Me too. I did a lot of model railroading with my father when I was kid, would love to get back into it!
I live a couple hours from here[^] - planning on visiting again soon. And the California Steam Railroad Museum[^] in Sacramento is excellent.

You're all nuts, old trains indeed, I've never understood the fascination with trains. I guess growing up in Oz we didn't have a really strong railway history.
Ship engines now there are some real monster power systems. Mining trucks and those gigantic coal scoops are amazing as well.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Yesterday it was my sons third birthday, which we celebrated by going on a trip on a real steam train.
He was at first very afraid of the engine as it was big black steaming and made a lot of noise. But later on he couldn't wait to go back.
Today he didn't want to go to kindergarten (as in totally freaking out screaming). He wanted to go to the train instead.
That's impact.
Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON, DUDES!

It's amazing that they could power such heavy locomotives with nothing more than a fire that made steam. We recently went to Wisconsin and visited the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay. They have a restored Union Pacific Big Boy - the thing is massive. I've also been to Steamtown in Scranton, PA (30 mins from where I grew up) which is awesome.

Big boy was really a masterpiece.. My father build the Garrats for south africa, another one..

Sorry, misread your post, my reaction: "They are older than THAT!!!"
Here's an interesting timeline http://www.sdrm.org/history/timeline/[^] and a quote:
1804: Matthew Murray of Leeds, England invents a steam locomotive which runs on timber rails. This is probably the FIRST RAILROAD ENGINE.
Another link http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blsteamengine.htm[^] shows how old the engine IS.
Of course, later I realized I hadn't seen the show, so you could have been seeing 80 year old technology. It's amazing comparing 10 to 20 year old tech. We're still advancing, but not as astounding yearly advances as we saw 25 years ago. (And I'm not referring to steam tech )

Just read an article here at CodeProject (I shan't mention which) that was formatted poorly, had code samples that don't compile and wasn't well written, but it received numerous comments. Of course, they were mostly negative.
It struck me afterward that if you do something right (write a terrific article), we may just download your code and ignore you. However, if you do something wrong (write a poor article) we are going to let you know.
So, doing something wrong actually allows you to build more community (though it is constructed upon negativity) than doing something right. Ah, the human condition. It's a challenge.
Do you find my topic interesting or even well thought out? You probably won't comment.
However, if you eschew my point you will comment heavily. Am I funny yet?
I guess you can prove me wrong, easily, by being positive. I just played you, my friend. 
But, I'm serious. I feel a serious paradox coming on.
