But did you see the yeti at the 2:00 mark?
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.

Nah, that was just an angry Welshman.

Like I said - a Yeti. And it looks more like a Welsh woman doesn't it?

Very  , although I gotta question the guy's sanity. I sent the link to my boss, who's currently on vacation skiing in Colorado.
Question for the skiers in the crowd: Several times when he was passing people, it seemed awfully close. In cycling the rule is the person overtaking is responsible for ensuring safety. Is there something equivalent in skiing? Or was this a 'set piece' and the bystanders were all in on the action?

The uphill skier has the same responsibility as the overtaker. Don't go so close to a downhill skier that if they do something unexpected you could hit them.
I thought that the bit at the opening where he goes through the group standing on the hill was extremely dickish!

I thought that too, in several places. I wondered if it was a closed course after I saw the person in a yeti costume  .

Europe has those rules, but they are ignored, especially in France and Italy. Christ, in Italy they ski flat out all the time. They are all nuts. We dont have Ski Patrol here to enforce laws, its just up to the individual.

Happy 71st! ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Respect!!! So an expert of the red hot languages of the seventies Fortran and COBOL 
Press F1 for help or google it.

Yes, lots of FORTRAN (several dialects), starting in 1964.
From a "Programming Languages Survey" course, ca 1980:
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
...
THIS IS THE SECOND COBOL PROGRAM I HAVE WRITTEN.
I SINCERELY HOPE IT IS THE LAST. So far, my hope has been realised.
Cheers,

You forgot ALGOL!
|
|
|
|

Pascal is sort of Algol Mark II.
As is Simula - or maybe that is Mark III. At least if you ask someone from University of Oslo.
(I have programmed both Algol 60, Pascal and Simula - but not Algol 68, that is a strange animal! Or at least it seemed so in the 60s)

It was indeed ... as was AlgolW in the 70's

Ok, then how about using a youngling like FORTH?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Happy birthday!
To tell you the truth at first I did not understand and thought it was a mockery of modern job advertisements... in Italy I saw ads for jobs searching for neograduated with 5 years of experience in technology that existed from 3...

Don't let your mind wander too far.
It's too small to be let out alone.

Occasionally I peruse the trending GitHub repos, and came across this. Unix centric, though there is mention of C#/.NET, but the whole ASP.NET stack is totally missing. None-the-less, this is probably just 1% of the entire playing field.

This is exactly why I just can see myself doing anything but Windows.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

I would say "anything but web development", so I'm confused. Explain?
