1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.



The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.



2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.



3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.



4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions. Or if you must, use the Back Room[^] - but enter at your own risk.



5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen. For those discussions where you wish to be a little more frank, use the Soapbox[^]



6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.



7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.



Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.



We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.

cheers,

Just got a message from Adobe Acrobat that it needs to restart my computer to apply an update. Holy F***, I thought those days were long past!



Adobe hiring manager: We are creating a piece of software to open a file and display its contents on the screen. How would you do it?



Clueless wonder: Well, how about we create a kernel process, with interlocks and timers and stuff. No, we might need two kernel processes. Or maybe more, now that I'm thinking about it. If we need more, we can just implement them as we need them.



HR: Ooh! Kernel processes! That sounds good!



Its amazing they even got their code to work, given their lack of engineering ability.

On the product page there is the price, the shipping fee to Israel and the estimated arriving date...

So I added to my shopping list to save for later (gathering items slowly for one shipment), but there I see this:

Quote: No sellers are currently shipping this item to your location Come on!!!

"The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge". Stephen Hawking, 1942- 2018





You may say, it's just a shopping site. Oh no, not entirely.



I would hand deliver to Israel if it were possible for me to do so.



God bless Israel.







It seem that on the product page there's a generic price and arrival date calculated, but it isn't actually checked if they deliver until you add it to your shopping basket. (Except sometimes it is)

Sometimes I wonder how Amazon could become so big.
