[Audyssey] filch's capturing words in the sarah game

2009-09-03 Thread Nicol Oosthuizen
Hi all Because I am south african, I do not always understand the nitty gritty of english grammar, this is why I thought to pose the following question. When filch captures sarah, he says: We are in trouble, aren't we? Why does he say, we, and not you? Please Note: This email and its contents

Hey Nicol, Being a Brit myself, the only explanation I can give you is that we speak English badly lol. It's a slang thing, tends to be used in quite a patronising way, like an adult talking down to a child. Hth Scott On 9/3/09, Nicol Oosthuizen noosthui...@sars.gov.za wrote: Hi all Because

Hi, Firstly, you don't need to hack someone's computer to get their IP address. Secondly, for them to tailor the game to behave differently on your computer only, means they'd have to get the source (or know how to edit hex,) and get a fingerprint of your computer, then upload the infected

That's exactly right. Sometimes, when in a hospital, I have been asked by a doctor or nurse, Well, now, how are we feeling today? I answer something like, Well, I don't know how you? are feeling, but I'm fine. They are usually thrown for a loss on what to say next. It's just one of those

Nicol, I wouldn't worry about it. The e-mail sent to you is quite obviously a prank. Someone is pulling a joke on you. For one thing it is full of technical errors, and whoever wrote the original message doesn't know as much about computers as he claims he does. For example, the author of the

Hi all, I am looking for a good basic/qbasic compiler, but am having a hard time finding one. Is it possible to write some code in notepad or some other text editor and then import it in to the compiler? Or will I need an inturpritor? Thanks much, Nick -- website: Nickhelms.net sip phone
