Hey, just saw your message while browsing the Lounge. So, still on CP from time to time ?

0. I did not watch Eurovision
1. I did not read you entire post.
2. Why do you give rats ass to singing reality show?

0. Why does it disturb you that other people on the Lounge post about things they are interested in, but which you, evidently, are not ?

Europop has been a well known area of trash culture to be laughed at for many years. I'm not sure it's entirely the US's fault, they've been taking bits of our (British) pop culture for it for ages.

Heard of Keepod? Nope, nor had I.
It's a bootable memory stick[^] with a PC version of Android on it that will boot any PC, even if it doesn't have an HDD. They have given one to each child at the school, the idea being that if they download a virus it can't affect anyone else sharing the computer. So each child carries his favourite, preferences (and virii) with him from computer to computer.
And a small chunk of an enormous African slum gets connected to the internet (via the traditional carrier bag router and "unofficial" electricity) and a bunch of children get a small-but-noticeable chance to improve themselves and maybe, just maybe, work their way out of the slum.
Good on 'em!

We must have been reading that in sync! Sounds like a fantastic idea. Hope it succeeds

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Not to rain on your parade, but I'm gonna play grandpa here and say they had that back in the 70s. We called them floppy disks you insert to boot a computer to boot it. There were no internal disks. It became obsolete. Go figure. Then booting from internal drives became the cool thing. Now it's the non-cool thing. Damn I'm sounding old.
And there's no such word as virii. Look it up.
Hope this ever so friendly, informative, yet slightly annoying message brings you joy as it slams your post on this fine Mother's Day.

(A likely possibility )
How does one go about approving an article. I have the privilege for it now but I can't figure out how to do it.
|
|
|
|
|
At the top of the article you will see a box, within which is a line like:
Approve or report this article:
with a box to the right. Hover your mouse over the box and you will see the possible choices. At the bottom of the article are the forums for making comments to tell the author whether you liked it or if you have suggestions for improvement, or why you are rejecting it.

|

Ah, there we go. I got to the wrong page. Thanks!

It still takes votes: you can't do it on your own.
Go to the Home page: http://www.codeproject.com/[^] and look on teh right hand side:
There is a section "NN items need approval" - wave you mouse over and a list will appear.
Pick a subject you know something about (which will be more than the author does for many of 'em) and click on it.
Examine, read, and decide. Then you just use the icon next to "Approve or report this article:" to select one of teh options.
It's a good idea to include a message at the bottom when you reject though, as without that it's difficult if not impossible for the author to improve.
Oh, and you'll need a link here as well: http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1652005/Spam-and-Abuse-Watch.aspx[^] to mark up plagiarism and spam. And there is a lot of that!
Please, don't let rubbish through, no matter who it came from, and first time plagiarists generally get a warning rather than an "Spam and abuse" posting, unless they have been here long enough to know it's a big no-no.
Spammers just get marked in S&A, and terminated with extreme prejudice!

Premium authors don't go through the approval queue so you have to hunt them down in other ways

Thanks for the great run-through. I apparently got myself on the wrong page. Thanks!

Roy Rogers and Dale Evans estate has been sold at auction[^], trigger is gone. I don't think Roy and Dale would have wanted this and I know their fans definitely don't.
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

Any word on who the buyer is?

A Nebraska cable TV network ponied up $266,500 for Roy Rogers' stuffed and mounted horse, Trigger, at an auction in New York City on Wednesday.
The movie cowboy's faithful companion was bought by the cable company RFD-TV in Omaha.
All of the stuff went to individuals, highest bidder and got a lot more than they anticipated.

Interesting read about the Auction linked in the OP. It seems that Roy said that the family could sell off all of the stuff if the Museum became a burden.
