Certain things on CP have been for a long time. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Pfft! Don't listen to Ryan he's only been here 10 years. Noob!!!
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

I've been a member for a long time. I am just not a cool kid. I don't know how to get the points I guess. Honestly not worried about it. Just thought there might be some creative responses.
Maybe Not.

In my case, you just talk bollocks in the Lounge.
In the case of people like Marc, Griff, and JSOP (and others -- you're not unnoticed, but I'm a lazy typist), you publish articles that help others, and help others fix problems that they've been struggling with.
The only exclusive cliques I've seen in CP are based on religion, which -- although intolerable --is the same everywhere, and is best ignored.
Don't knock guys who are doing so much to actually help their fellow devs.
Take a poke at me, instead. All I do is talk bollocks, and I'm always happy to have a barney.

If you have uncertainties about Marc's posting, just pick the 140 characters of it that you like best, and remember them.

Perhaps it was not funny. I was not upset, just baffled.

i.e. you didn't get the joke.
It's the CP Lounge, eh? Look for a joke, before looking for trouble.

Still don't, but don't explain it. It's never funny if you have to explain it.

Software Development is for people who have a life and imagination. It's not for twitter-heads.

... a great way to meet girls. Girls who signed up for a programming class accidently. And then realized that they couldn't do it (note that this does not include the great many female developers who actually rock!). Then realized that there were a bunch of guys eager to help them.

If you like, or something of similar size here.
Honestly this was a lark, and I have already spent more time explaining it then I had planned. I thought it was interesting and wanted to know what others here (many with a great deal of experience and some with little experience) thought about what software development is.

Hi All,
In my quest to get a job I have come across another job web site or have I come across a new version of an old one? Back in my student days...(typing that still feels odd) I registered on a Job site called www.job.ac.uk, I have just come across a 'new' one called www.jobs.co.uk... are they the related?

Yup typo, www.jobs.ac.uk, I have looked have looked at www.jobs.co.uk and it seems very different in lay out and style from jobs.ac.uk. I wonder if they are the same company...

then there's the site for linux admin jobs:
www.jobs.su.ck
CQ de W5ALT
Walt Fair, Jr., P. E.
Comport Computing

I had a look and www.jobs.co.uk[^] doesn't really look like it's particularly suitable for IT skilled people.
I mention this because the site I have used accepts your CV as a word document and it seems to work quite well.
Having to individually specify every skill and technology just feels like a bit too much, when parsing a CV that is uploaded might be better for many IT job searchers.
That's just my two-penneth.

Well you are right, sir. It's just the first I heard of it was an offer dropped in to my inbox this morning. I posted that from my phone and only really looked at the sight when I go to a PC with a keyboard!

It's the date for it. 11 Apr 1954 was much the same, so I've been informed.
