Fuck me I wouldn’t hire any of you bloody reprobates!! 😛
Not a bad idea, though. And even if XDC’ers are not directly in the market, they may know somebody who is.
So my pitch is that I have a mate who is looking for a web application developer. Needs C#, ASP.NET 2 and a smattering of SQL (MS SQL Server 2005 ideally, but to be honest the SQL side is pretty basic). The basic brief is to finish off a commercial web application that is part way through development.
I was helping out for a while as a bit of a favour between consulting jobs, but now just started my new full time job as Development Director and so need to help him find a replacement. East Midlands area.
PM me if interested or if you know someone who might be.
Can’t get the feckin’ thing to work. I need to bind it to a key – normally use backslash in TS, so trying to do the same.
Could hear Spunker (I think) when I joined the channel, but just could not transmit.
Perhaps Pharts has it upon an idea for a new aftershave?

Well, following on from Legit’s logic:-
I think jumping off a cliff is a great way to lose weight, and incredibly safe. Nobody here can prove me wrong unless they have jumped off a cliff, so ner-ner!
Likewise, unless you have tried shooting yourself in the head, you can’t tell me it’s not a great way to get rid of that bitch of a migraine.
This has gone way way off the original argument that driving like a twat through build up areas is justified. Somehow Legit now claims it’s just “is speed wrong” – never was the argument, mate.
Oh, and Legit….next time you read one of your posts, just look to the left a little…..

Which means teh whole sound argument is complete bollocks for any number of reasons.
1. Mathematically, as Vic pointed out. It’s not a linear relationship.
2. Mathematically, as common sense points out. Does twice the revs make twice the sound?
3. Depends on gears, engine type, whether sound comes more out of the front or back of the bike.
4. The people likely to pull out can actually hear.
5. Echoes & reflections changing the percieved direction of the sound.
6. Anatomical – Is the human ear twice as sensitive? What’s the “DC offset” of noise level that makes volume irrelevent?It’s just a bullshit argument. Like the rest of Legit’s points in this thread.
I don’t avoid fast moving bikes & cars because I hear them. It’s because I see them.
No Beer – you’re missing Legit’s point he made earlier. It’s the fault of the person not hearing him coming at 120mph. Don’t forget that that’s the original reason he gave for speeding through built-up areas – the more noise you make the more people will realise you’re there.
In some mad persons universe, that is a sensible argument. In the real world, however, it’s complete shite. For some reason he thinks that if you’re going twice as fast then you will be heard twice as far away. I would like to see the maths that makes that conclusion true…..
PS: This thread was starting to piss me off, now it’s just cracking me up.
