See the new sticky at the top of the page...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Aha, didn't see that. I looked everywhere except for stickies.

AAAaahhh!!! The world is going down!!!
I just heard the voice from "JimmeCode", "NoEffort" tags 
|
|
|
|
|
I take it you mean the morons who keep tagging questions with "NoEffort", "IAmLazy" and other pointless and rude monuments to their own arrogance?

Exactly, I don't know why these people don't even try to fix the problem on their own.. Before posting it on CP. 
|
|

Because some of them are confused by the scale of the problem (as they see it) and have no idea how to proceed. It's "rabbit-in-the-headlights" syndrome - and just being rude to them and closing the question doesn't help them at all. Remember when you were just starting?
All it does is feed the egos of the morons writing the rude comments.

Agree! That is why when I come across one.. I provide hints, which leads to the actual solution
Being rude to them adds to the problems they are facing and demoralizes them.
Now, I genuinely feel the need of a "Like" and "Dislike" button on comments in Q&A. Just to intimate people when they turn rude and appreciate people who genuinely help.

We're moving to a new hosting centre tomorrow morning and as part of the move we need to switch to read-only while we move our data. During the move the site itself will have no downtime: you'll still be able to browse and read. It's just new content and content updates that will not be possible.
There are obviously ways and means to move masses of data from one system to another without needing to lock down the database but they would have made the move longer than necessary, and are silly expensive. By Saturday evening (again, US Eastern) we'll be back in business and you can post again.
[Edit: all done]
cheers

![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif) While moving last weekend, I found my Star Trek Font Packs, from 1993. I have now copied the content of the 3.5" floppies to a safer place.

Did you beam them into The Cloud?

You have reminded me to go through all my old cassette tapes and scrape off every bit I can find on them. The tapes are now about 40 years old and were not the highest quality to begin with. Despite that, most programs still can be loaded and those that don't usually can be recovered.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

I wonder what would happen if you fed one into a Universal Turing Machine.

The same that happens when you throw some bytes at any processor: It would execute whatever it finds, but only in one specific environment, with one specific processor and loaded at the right memory address you will get the intended results.

What about a Finite Improbability Drive?
|

I have also being doing a bit of a clear out prior to a (n expected/hoped for) move and found loads of 3.5 floppies. I have also fortunately found my 3.5 external floppy drive ("acquired*) ... wondering what I am actually going to find on disks labelled "Tools"

Hahaha Nice!!!
I took backup of my floppies last weekend and made a Pen Stand by pasting 5 of them together
They look cute

What no pic? You can't tease us like that without proof.

Sweet. I'll have to make one, but I think I have enough to actually make a workstation divider. If not then I'll make a computer tower case. That might be cool.

Hahaha thats a "Good Idea"!!
However, you need to make sure that the tower/divider is durable.. (my pen holder is a bit shaky)
Idea: You can join 3 floppies together to make a thick brick and then you can join these bricks together (just like Lego blocks) and construct your master piece...
Do share your invention!!!
