@Zerosquare My first thought was more along the lines of "do I look like someone willing to work with SAP," but that, too.
Yeah, I'm not enough of a SAP to work with Accenture either

For those of us who don't C++, the difference is between passing by reference and passing by value.
I don't see the problem since you pass either way. But I doubt some people have anything that could be called a "conscience" nor any values to begin with.
Well, when most people want immortality, they want to avoid death. Making a copy that behaves like you isn't immortality in the way they want it. Even if it's a perfect copy of you that even acts, thinks and feels like you, it's still not you. You will still die.
I know, I just couldn't let the opportunity pass to make a weak reference to the euphemistic use of "to pass" for "to die".

âSlowworm isn't a snakeâ
Just make sure you do not mistake a snake for a slowworm. I did, and I was surprised when the slowworm threatened me cobra-style. Anyway, it was a harmless small snake, and did not bite (just threaten).

No, not necessarily. France is well known for good food and good wine.

@DogsB when something is literally orders of magnitude (10x or 100x) more expensive than another variety of something, you can be almost certain that it is not that amount of times better.
At that stage, the price difference is purely a marker of "I can afford it" rather than quality.
The best status symbols have negative use value, like gold leaf on your dessert that tastes either like nothing or like tinfoil, a Lamborghini on a Lao city street, or a diamond ring that never leaves the safe.
We had a pizza place in Sweden in an area where the affluent bought summer homes that served gold leaf pizzas, among other things. Their entire business idea was to get the kids of the super rich to come there to eat pizza for bragging rights, on daddy's dime. And they were entirely open and honest about this being the business idea. I don't know if they still exist, but they hung around for a few years at least.
All the ingredients were the most expensive version of what you'd put on normal pizza. For no difference in quality. I think a single pizza was something like âŹ11k
@HardwareGeek you definitely heard of their spin-off project even if you didnât hear of any of their actual games.
Basically, their games didnât exactly sell massively well (probably because they werenât particularly good) but they had the bright idea to found a little project to raise awareness of their games by hitching them to other games, and in the process founded Humble Indie Bundle, later Humble Bundle, later the Humble Store.

@hungrier fair enough. Though it's so insanely fast that I'm not sure they have time to look at anything. Then again, blind-folded records are significantly slower, so... I guess they do?
