New quotes for the new server please.

Jamski · April 27, 2003, 13:56

OK, we've lost a lot of the old quotes apparently, so please make a suggestions list and maybe Marko will take notice.

Put any old ones you remember with love, and any new ones you think should be remembered with love.

-Jam

edit by markg:
quotes should be in this form

Code:

quote without " or ' -- source (if there is one) %

Chilean President™ · April 27, 2003, 14:17

New One:

"The post you just submited is a free ticket to Mingapulco. Edit it before I read it".
-Ming

Old One:

don't remember clearly but it was something like "Cleopatra's secrets inside".

"If trout-slapping was illegal, only criminals would trout-slap. - Aggie" (my sig)

I'd like to see more quotes from SMAC. I remember that when Markos first asked for quotes, some people suggested SMAC as a good source, but only a few of them were actually implemented.

alva · April 27, 2003, 16:18

I remember from the last 'quotes' thread, Mark asked to use the "code" tags.

Jamski · April 27, 2003, 16:29

True - it makes it quicker for Marko to actually use them (should they be found suitable)

Kuciwalker · April 27, 2003, 16:33

How so?

Jamski · April 27, 2003, 16:40

The Code and PHP Tags

If you want to post some programming source code, or perhaps some ASCII art, which would require a non-proportional font, you can use the [code] tag to achieve this. For example:

[example deleted, although it was kinda amusing to make everyone read a pop-up]

This would produce:

$myvar = "Please post all quotes using the code tags";
for ($i=0; $i<10; $i++) {
echo $myvar."\n";
}

Hope that makes it all clear

Chilean President™ · April 27, 2003, 16:42

coooooooooool

can I do it?

Jamski · April 27, 2003, 16:44

Hehehehe - now I've started something

Its all there for the learning.

Kuciwalker · April 27, 2003, 16:47

How'd you get the box to pop up? It doesn't work for me

PHP Code:


$myvar = "Skywalker is Great!";

for ($i=0; $i<10; $i++) {

echo $myvar."\n";

}

Jamski · April 27, 2003, 16:48

Try again

EDITED: Now that I have the knowledge I let this thread free of me

Kuciwalker · April 27, 2003, 16:51

pleeeeeeease?

Chilean President™ · April 27, 2003, 16:51

yahoo!!

Jamski · April 27, 2003, 16:52

Now both of us are great

-Jam

Chilean President™ · April 27, 2003, 16:53

Yup. That's the way it is

Thanks WoA

I promise to take good care of this knowledge

FrustratedPoet · April 27, 2003, 16:53

Two damn pop-ups!!!!!!

Please don't do that guys. It's really f**king annoying. It may also get you banned.

Some people set their style so they don't get pop-ups from 'poly (at least, as few as possible). We don't need you creating additional ones.

Chilean President™ · April 27, 2003, 16:54

ok, I'm going to erase it. Anyway it was pretty cool

Jamski · April 27, 2003, 16:55

Its an illustration of how to post code - and a lesson too. Now post a quote

Kuciwalker · April 27, 2003, 16:55

How the heck does it work? Mine doesn't, and I copied and pasted it directly!

Chilean President™ · April 27, 2003, 16:57

"Chilean President is Great!" pop-up is now erased

Tnx a lot WoA

badams52 · April 27, 2003, 16:57

Well I was going to suggest that we should take some of the quotes from the Demotivators Thread, but seeing all those pop-ups makes me realize this thread isn't going to last long.

Jamski · April 27, 2003, 16:57

I shouldn't encourage this behavior.

A few Bill Gates quotes:

Quote:

"I believe OS/2 is destined to be the most important operating system, and possibly program, of all time. As the successor to DOS, which has over 10,000,000 systems in use, it creates incredible opportunities for everyone involved with PCs."
-- Bill Gates - OS/2 Programmer's Guide

"The Internet? We are not interested in it"
-- Bill Gates, 1993

In response to Java: "Anybody who thinks a little 9,000-line program that's distributed free and can be cloned by anyone is going to affect anything we do at Microsoft has his head screwed on wrong."
-- Bill Gates

"Microsoft Products are Generally Bug Free"
-- Bill Gates

"There are people who don't like capitalism, and there are people who don't like PCs, but there's no one who likes the PC who doesn't like Microsoft."
-- Bill Gates

If you use "reply with quote" you will see the JAVASCRIPT that WoA put in his original post that caused the pop-up. CP already got rid of his.

FrustratedPoet · April 27, 2003, 17:01

Why is there now a pop-up that says "Please post all quotes in code tags"?

Am I the only person who hates pop-ups?

Cruddy · April 27, 2003, 17:01

Some fave quotes of mine.

"If I'd known they had that many tanks, I'd have thought twice about invading". (Adolf Hitler?)

"Violence never solved anything." (Genghis Khan)

"Democracy is the worst possible form of government, except of course for all the others" (Winston Churchill)

"Quantity has a quality all of its own" (Stalin)

"Die? My dear fellow, that's the last thing I'll do" (Oscar Wilde)

"I don't know HOW we won" (Spike Milligan, on WW2 outcome)

"Stock funded corporations are the worst form of business" (Adam Smith)

I've changed mine to actually give the useful info now. Happy ?
