Congrats, got interested and looked up my orphan member status and am at 11 yrs 2 months. Man the time has flown by.
Interesting (or not) story when I first joined they had a special running on VS 1.0 and I didn't have a credit card at the time and I emailed the guy in charge of sales and asked him how I could order without credit card and he was at a lose he didn't know what to tell me as it had never been done. Mailed them a money order and got VS!

Get a bunch of writers to write a story while drunk, then get drunk actors to perform. Brilliance ensues.

It's because we don't have a future tense in English, so we have to use "nuance" on existing tenses.

I guess it all depends on which words you insert.
"will be", "is scheduled to be" or "was" all come immediately to mind as options.

If you ask a question, Ok when it's closed - It says Sept 4th. It's perfect that you have to recall date
BTW instead of closed , I would have used "Completion Date" so there wouldn't be a confusion.
Thanks,

"Bug-fixing start date" is probably more accurate.

I see they are already using my time travel application.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

As with a resume (CV), using past tense eliminates having to change tense later. Reducing maintenance is all up-side.

Well, my Trackball if I'm being accurate.
The replacement microswitch arrived (cost: £2.25 + 0.99p P&P for two switches) and twenty minutes later (most of which was waiting for Windows to reboot so I could test it) and the left mouse button is working again.
No more releasing half way through a drag, or highlight. No more double click bouncing! No more pressing the damn thing until your finger bleeds to make it work!
Ahhhhh....I feel I have accomplished something today...

Probably just the amount of cr@p I have loaded, plus the auto-backup to NAS on power-on. Not normally a problem, it gets turned on in the morning and I go get coffee and so forth. Then it's on until I shut down for the day.
