I especially like how the "Clickable" label is, in fact, the only one on that page that's not clickable.

The more I think about it the more I think W.BalBoos has a really good point. We are all slowly drifting into one poster.
As time has gone on my postings have slowly evolved to fit in with the site norm. For example the vulgarity of my humour posts has lessened compared to when I first joined, to fit in with the general accepted standard of the site. Also traditions that I didn't necessarily find amusing when I first joined, like the pun runs for example, I now find myself participating in and sometimes even initiating them myself.
So if we assume that everybody else are slowly evolving their postings too, and those that don't conform are already voted off the site (or rejected by the organism), then at some time in the future we are all going to amalgamate into one giant Codeproject poster monster jellyfish organism. I can already think of numerous times recently where I have posted the same thing as another user (mainly Elston). So the Nuclei has already been created and we are just going to suck more and more of you in at an exponential rate.
So soon there will be no need to post, as we will all know what is to be posted, so actually posting it will just be a waste of data storage capacity. Whatsmore, features like the CCC will become redundant as people will be able to post the answer before Dave has posted the question.
So the next question is what do we do with this monster we are creating? World Internet Domination? And whose going to tell Chris what has inadvertently happened to us?

Uhhh... no... some of us choose to remain individuals and not part of the collective. While our 'behaviour' may be in line with the generally accepted standard, that is not to say we changed it over time, but rather, it is as it always has been.
And while we may be similar, we are still distinct.

Then you will be swallowed up by the Jellyfish and your opinion will go unnoticed.

The '5 of 9' is of course a refernce to ST:Voyager, but it is also my birth order: 5th child of 9. So, not wanting to be part of THIS collective does not mean we are not part of A collective.

It would help us unite if we had a common enemy.
Maybe we could find a Mac forum and start a war?

Hey!
I read MehGerbil's posting first, so that makes you a plagiarist!

To the extent you become aware of yourself in the act of "creating the monster" by acting as if it is "real," rather than a psychic construction of the self, you gain the freedom to manifest your unique individuality, which cannot be compromised by others' interpretations of your thoughts, and words, but which, itself, is inherently empty in the most magnificent way unimaginable.
yours, Bill

Google is going to https://www.google.com.au/ even when I have http://www.google.com.au/ set as my home page. This is only happening on one PC that I have noticed. I have reset Internet Explorer settings to their default. No change.
Anyone know what is happening here?

Maybe that PC has some kind of virus / malware infection
The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

It has, he already told us he was using IE.

So I also have it.. (Using IE too, company policy..)

No it happens to me too occasionally
There is no way any malware could get past the net nazis

Isn't there a link to google.com at the bottom somewhere? I get it sometimes.
Why does it matter, out of curiousity. Here it is damn annoying because the language changes too.

No need to post this as Google already knows you're upset.

Google's defaulted[^] to HTTPS for about 2 years now. If I had to guess the cookie or WTE was set on that PC telling it to stick with a non-secure connection expired/was wiped/etc.
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?

I think it's a good thing and was wondering why your subject wasn't on the line of Google's Acting Weird.

Your computer is obviously ashamed of the fact that you've got Google set as its home page, so is connecting on the quiet.

I just found myself moving the mouse around to find the Upvote button while reading Usenet messages.
|
|
|
|

You've definitely spent too much time in the Lounge if you think that anything posted to Usenet is worth upvoting.

Yes,
Bookmarking a post here in CP lounge will actually cause dislocation of the radius and ulna from the carpal bones. Guaranteed.

I've just installed and used DotPeek for the first time today, to check that some of my code changes had made it onto a server. What a thing of beauty! It even has an option to decompile all the way back to project files, although I haven't tried that yet.
I particularly like it as it gives two fingers to RedGate, who effectively stole one of the most prolific community tools (Reflector) and then started to charge people for it. I urge you to forget about Reflector, and RedGate, and start using this wonderful free alternative.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

Yep. Using it since the preview version 
Tried ILSpy after .NET Reflector went commercial. dotPeek is a bit slower but has so many more features

It gets my vote. Lutz Roeder (Reflector) really sold his soul and his ass to RedGate (for a fee I'm sure) when he let them take a good tool and then sit back with a cold beer and watch them wreck it.
I then tried ILSpy as well but to be honest I was really disappointed with it. They tried to fill the gap that freeware Reflector left but I don't think their heart was in it, except perhaps to prove a point.
I too, two-finger RedGate. DotPeek is an exceptional tool and to me, takes Reflector where it could have gone. DotPeek has left Reflector trailing in its wake. If RedGate still charge for it, then shame on them. I once paid £70+ to RedGate for Reflector; it crashed but I give them credit, they refunded me. Of course, if it had still been free the price would have been right.
DotPeek, in short, is superb. Thanks to JetBrains for releasing it for free to the community.
