The best part is that your posts are not useless point-getting restatements. Grrrr, I hate those.You mean the parrot effect? Someone posts a solution and suddenly three or so other people post exactly the same solution. Amazing how multiple people suddenly come up with the same idea at the same time... </sarcasm>
Like when somebody posts the same solution you did - only 10+ minutes later. Polly want a cracker?
Okay, let's be a little fair. How many of these people actually read past the question to see if it was already answered? And how many of those read past the first page on the thread?
I'm talking about cases where it's a near or total copy of an earlier answer (down to the words, phrases and misspellings used) and a non-trivial problem (not something that can be quoted from BoL or a 1 word answer)
Doesn't happen too often, but often enough to be noticeable.

I post too much.Maybe, maybe not. We're still learning from you, and I'm hoping that you'll keep on posting so I can keep on learning.
(Congrats on the 25k. )

I think I'd be more worried about someone with a gladius on a subway car. A claymore is a lot of steel in a confined space.It's more the psychological effect. 'His weapons are larger than mine' impression.
Yep. That was my thought when I heard the story, a subway car is a bit cramped to be using a 6' length of steel. But the "His weapons are larger than mine" tends to work on the un-educated who don't know that two-handed swords need 10ft of space or else they suffer a penalty to hit and damage. 🙂
Since the gladius was designed with close quarters in mind (it's awfully rude to stab your buddy in formation when you're trying to kill the bad guy), I'd worry more about the gladius than the two-hander. Although, if you're hit on the first swing before the two-hander gets tangled up in something, it's kinda a moot point for you.

If I'm a "Database Engineer", it doesn't sound like I know anything.That was my title at the bank 3 or so years ago...
Yikes! I hope you weren't offended by my comment, I have an incredible amount of respect for your skill and expertiese. I realize titles are quite subjective and vary from company to company, I shouldn't have used a specific example. My apologies to you and anyone else who may be or have ever been a Database Engineer.
Thanks everyone for the great title ideas, I knew I would get some great input here and certainly did.

Yeah, I hate when people just restate someone's post in order to get points.

Hey, Steve (and other Prius owners), I just heard about this and wanted to pass it along:Toyota says a problem with electric power steering is prompting a recall of about 52,000 Priuses from 2001-3 in the United States, part of a global action affecting 106,000 vehicles.
Tx, I'm 2007, and I typically get these in the mail. I've had two: floor mats, waste of time, and headlight issue. Still haven't fixed, not sure it's an issue for me.
2001-2003 now? That's quite a bit later. How long to recalls apply?

My 2011 schedule includes GenCon (Indianapolis), World Fantasy (San Diego), WorldCon / Renovations (Reno), and Dragon*Con (Atlanta).
Sadly, Denver is not on my current list.

Depends on the manufacturer. Technically, you should be able to take the car in during the course of its lifetime to get it fixed, but traditionally, manufacturers cut it off after 1-2 years (they figure anyone who was going to get the problem fixed would have gotten it fixed already).
