<0> elton john is a perfectly cromulent lover
<1> I'm not the other guy
<1> That other guy is the other guy
<1> I'm the main one!
<2> hehe
<3> he got married to "de udder guy"
<0> he's got udders?
<1> Did I mention the job of that guy (not Elton) is ASP with VBScript?
<3> thats good grounding for c++ ok
<2> if you could go further in the conversation, probably he would say he was elton too fun
<0> to his credit, he does the real work using malloc'd COM objects written in C++
<1> Nope
<1> He does If
<1> Then
<1> And EndIf
<2> :):)
<1> And a bunch of <@=
<0> i'm sorry, Kirstie Alley, but you're still fat despite dancing around in that jenny craig commercial
<4> Hello everybody
<1> <%=
<1> Even
<0> lose 50 more lbs
<1> Anyway, time to go see the russian models at the fitness center on the next floor
<0> send some my way
<1> (I wanna play chess)
<0> i'm a rich american
<0> i like mail order brides
<5> http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060124-6036.html
<0> heh
<2> heh
<0> myra...number...lolita
<0> hmm
<0> definitely not a bot
<0> get em bealtine you lazy irish!
<0> you too, lazy butt
<6> *sigh*
<6> I hate having to fix C++ code written by C coders.
<6> It's a COM object written with MFC, to boot.
<0> you mean "i hate fixing code that's not mine"
<0> blech
<0> sounds nasty
<6> C coders with no real clue of how Win32 works.
<5> heh
<0> sounds like JBlitzen
<6> Nor what the whole point of OO is.
<0> sounds like JBlitzen
<7> bf2
<0> yeah, that's right bitch! made your client blink!
<0> negaitve
<0> i'm supposed to be "studying" this code
<6> for (;;) { Rc = MsgWaitForMultipleObjects(1, obj, FALSE, INFINITE, QS_ALLINPUT); if (Rc == WAIT_OBJECT_0) { GoDoOtherStuff(); Sleep(250); } else if (Rc == WAIT_OBJECT_0 + 1) { /* message pump here */ }
<0> haha
<6> For the life of me, I can't understand that Sleep there.
<0> Msg...Wait...implies...no wait
<0> i lost it
<2> that is c right
<7> Studying code, eh
<7> For what
<6> meyrn: In C or C++, it's pretty much the same code.
<6> Why not...
<0> new internal project they've got me working on until they can bill me out
<2> dunno c :/
<6> for (;;) { Rc = MsgWaitForMultipleObjects(1, obj, FALSE, 250, QS_ALLINPUT); if (Rc == WAIT_OBJECT_0) { GoDoOtherStuff(); } else if (Rc == WAIT_OBJECT_0 + 1) { /* message pump here */ }
<0> (bill is consultant for whore)
<6> Ditch the INFINITE
<2> seems weird to me :)
<6> And, like, give the message pump a chance to run more than every 250 ms or so.
<6> sheesh
<6> These people LOVE Sleep.
<0> sleep is a cureall
<0> what do they do if the timeout's hit?
<6> See if there's something on the POS scale.
<6> And if there is, it posts a message.
<6> A message that, as far as I can tell, doesn't get pumped for another 250ms, with the original code.
<2> i got to go sleep
<2> time to count some sheeps :)
<2> yo, nite.
<8> I think the reason people love sleep() is that in early unix it was almost the only way to let other stuff run
<8> and their teachers never bothered to learn modern multi-tasking systems
<4> printf("test"); sleep(1); // time to run printf() :]
<9> "fork? This is not a cooking cl***!"
<6> That's very likely the root of their love of Sleep here. Most of them are old UNIX guys.
<8> I had almost a running gun battle going when I had to calculate teh CRC on a terabyte file and asked for access to drop my priority so that I wouldn't have to "pause" periodically
<8> I was told "that's not how you us a multi tasking system"
<6> lol
<8> two unix weenies
<6> So the way to use a multi-tasking system is to run everything at the same priority and hope they're all polite enough to sleep now and then?
<6> Wow, I'll file that tidbit away.
<8> apparently
<8> in some fairness, diong I/O would suspend you until it completed
<5> why have pre-empted multitasking then? heh
<8> so the drivers can run, silly boy
<5> i mean, if everything sleeps now and then
<8> well, drivers can't wait for you to sleep
<8> these were the same guys that went ape when I use -j on my makefiles
<5> but it doesn't seem far from the self-empting way of thinking
<6> Remember 16-bit windows, and yielding?
<5> nope :)
<6> I keep forgetting most of you just started shaving.
<5> lol
<5> speaking of which
<10> vawjrwrk: couldn't you lower the prio yourself?
<6> No, peterhu only shaves his legs.
<8> mathieu not with the API I'd been given
<10> no shell access?
<8> of course, but this was a program that ran 100% of the time
<8> it was traffic cop for a large system (200-800 machines)
<11> excellent, wife had a good job interview her self today
<8> and we were obliged to use a subset pthreads... so I spawned a separate one to go calculate and there was no "lower my priority" avaiable)
<11> if she gets this job, it's twice her base salary, yeesh
<11> non-engineering folks get all the cash
<8> peterhu_ of course
<11> and we just get our jobs shipped overseas
<11> makes sense to me
<11> heh
<0> not that i'm worried about that
<8> heard a report that the overseas thing is a bum rap
<8> more high-tech jobs were lost to mergers than went overseas last year
<0> i don't doubt it
<8> but blaming outsourcing kept the vision off M&A
<0> just my personal observation that people in technical positions aren't valued that highly for what the company actually does
<0> management and sales are king
<0> not that they shouldn't also be valued, but come on
<0> $300,000 a "normal" sales person salary?
<0> granted, half on commission
<6> Knowing where all the good strip joints are is a valuable skill for a salesman.
<0> but the base alone is more than most technical people will see, even when they leave coding behind and become middle managers
<6> And should be compensated accordingly.
<0> yeah, my wife has been to more strip joints than i ever have
<0> just for WORK
<5> hmm
<0> (hmm, no she doesn't work there)
<8> peterhu if they paid us as much as they're getting (or near it) then they'd have to LISTEN to what we said... this way they get to continue ignoring us
<0> nerds should KNOW their place, damn it!
<6> This is why I'll never be a salaried direct employee again.
<8> peterhu that's part of it, yes
<9> Wait. I got into IT because they said I'D get ludicrous salaries! Did they lie to me? o_O
<6> Duh
<8> DrkMatter yes
<6> Consulting > *
<0> by the same people that brought you the american dream

<8> one of my favorite all time comic strip segments was from Doonsbury when Zonker got a job in "IT"
<0> OH CANADA
<0> sounds like the same canadian scamer that jb got his address of
