Is the pop up banner on spong a joke or something? I'm not surprised such a poor news source has such an intrusive crappy banner that covers half the screen.

You've somehow arrived at the wrong thread. Try here

Anyway, the other thing that's better than half a million PSP's being manufactured, is me owning just one.

For all their talk of upping production im still to see an import PSP going for less £260.

There is still a severe lack of units no matter what press b******s they talk.

And the thing that's better than that is if 199 Euros is an official price, that's currently about £137.77!! Looks like a $140 price point to me!

God I can't type today, as a programmer, that's dangerous.

I meant to type a £140 price point, since 199 Euros is £137.77 and you always round up when doing conversions! :-)

Heh. Yesterday I spent about half an hour trying to find a missing squiggle bracket in a Perl script. But then I am a cack programmer :/

Ah yes! The elusive bracket syndrome!

My suggestion would be to use an editor that allows you to bracket match, I'd advise UltraEdit, it's top.

No way, UltraEdit is my text file editor! Christ, I'm a dolt. I knew it was good, but to idiot-proof rubbish programming? I really must explore app functionality more thoroughly.

Just hit Ctrl-B and the next bracket after the cursor is matched with it's twin. You'll see the enclosed block highlighted. If it isn't highlighted, it doesn't match another bracket and you're narrowed down your search for the elusive missing bracket. This works with (), {} and [] brackets (we call them round, curly and square, YMMV)

Oi! Everyone knows that UltraEdit is God's Own Text Editor, and you just used the name of God's only kiddy in vain!!! OMG!!! Gif at 11.

Yeah, it must be real difficulft for you "special" readers to hit that close widget.

Much as I loathe and despise you for referring to our site as a "poor news source", when even a half-empty flask of dolphin semen could see that it rocks, I am intrigued by your association with Turner. What's the deal?
