It's D-flat!
Admin
Has anyone used C-square yet? It is kind of legal, too.

'Oglethorpe'?

As always, this is the stupid way to deal with hourly billing: a rival who demonstrates themselves as competent and fair can steal the client. The smart way is to be competent and fair yourself, and make money by way of the client finding more useful work for you to do.

I always called it C hash, because the # symbol is most commonly pronounced "hash" in these parts...
Admin
In Germany it's also called C Gartenzaun.

He was partly right, tictactoe is also called the cat's game, and probably it's called "gato" (cat) in some regions.
It's called "tres en raya" where I live.

If God were just, that would be a featured comment.

First, the 'c' is hard as in "ker", everyone makes the mistake of using the soft 'c' ("see"), but Bill-ville thought that there was room in the pronunciation market for another standard.
Second, the Microsoft standard pronunciation of '#' is not sharp or pound but "ching!" (complete with exclamaion mark).
So, obviously, the correct pronunciation of C# is "Ker-ching!"
Admin
It's C# - C Sharp
Admin
Admin
Admin
actually, it's 'C garden fence'.
here in switzerland (and i think in (some parts of?) germany as well) the # sign is called 'garden fence' by many people ;)
Admin
Admin
No, it's spelled C-durIdon'treadthethreadbeforeposting but you pronounce it as Throat Warbler Mangrove.
Admin
Yes, my little niece would call it like this. In germany it is called "C-Raute". According to my dictionary, the proper english word would be C-Diamond or C-Lozenge.
Admin
From the official C# language specification 3.0:

This reminds me of when there used to be a disagreement over what ASCII meant which resulted in my having to write code like this:
I presume it was because the definition of ASCII had been communicated over the Atlantic by telephone, and not fax...Admin

Admin
whats about C-euro? :/ my fav. is C-raute, german version ;) some other german: C-gitter C-gartenzaun
Admin
C sharp (see Sharp), altough some of the C# developers tend to cry a lot.
Admin
Tell me people please why in the world would you ever call '#' a pound?
£ is a pound. # is a hash.
It's just like calling '@' a dollar sign.
Admin
Originally, I think it was C plus plus plus plus.

I choose C - None of the above

By the way, the reason that C# Major is so rare (can't be bothered to find the previous post) is that note 3 (an 'F' on the keyboard) should strictly be written as 'E#', and note 7 (a 'C') as 'B#'. That's 8 Sharps/Hashes/Octothorpes/Tic-Tac-Toe boards in the key signature, as opposed to Db major, its enharmonic equivalent, which only has the 5 flats.
Admin
Neither; it's pronounced "Squirrel".

Apart from that: C-two-sheffer-strokes-and-an-equal-sign

WHY do I think from that smirk, he expected to get the job no mater what went on in the interview? relatives in the ocmpany prehapse?
Admin
C - Noughts and crosses
Admin
It's "Zeh Schweinegatter" in german. Literally translated it would be "toe pig gate"...
(joking!) "C" is pronounced like "zeh" and "zeh" is indeed "toe" "Schweinegatter" is the name some peaople give that litte #-sign... sigh.

Because you fail to understand the different forms of measurement.
£ is a monetary pound.
is a weight pound.
With that in mind, @ is nothing like dollar sign. To take this further, Europeans use grams for their weights, and we Americans use pounds. Therefore, in America we are not programmers, we are propounders, hence it should be c-pound in the USA.
Try finding the flaw in THAT logic.
Admin
Damn right! That's a noughts-and-crosses board, not a tic-tac-toe one!

God is not just. She is a crazy woman.
Bu you ought to already know that...

That was the point. no-one really knows what ESPN stnds for :)

Completely agree. I thought I was doing enough by presenting solutions rather than whining about problems. Be proactive rather than reactive! But being a year out of college I still didn't know much about the work force. I still don't. I do remember saying that I would be on a six month probationary period and said I would come right back to my position if it didn't work out. I also listed all the different projects that could be done and an estimate on how much time/money it would save the company. However, I think I handled it all wrong. I should have offered to stay in my department and work on my internal applications part time. If everything worked out, and I met goals that a panel of peers and I set, eventually I could start working on my internal applications full time. I would still be a part of the regular IT department, but I would have a different title. People could still come to me for help.
I have to admit, I still don't completely understand the psychology behind the politics and beauracracy presented in the work force. What I think is logical and what happens are two completely different things.
So, for me and for everyone else who has been or is already in a similar position, how could I have done better? Thanks in advance!
Admin
Or is it C double++?
Admin
C Sharp.

Oh, come on. I was discussing the scale according to Microsoft. You Microsoft developers should feel right at home, since Microsoft likes to embrace, extend, and break the other standards they use.
Had this been a Slashdot posting, I would have posted the correct scale, which is what musicians have used for centuries, since most open source stuff is Standards based. But to blend in with the Microsoft paradigm, I had to present a bastardized standard.
Admin
HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Ridiculous. I laugh because nearly the exact same thing recently happened to me (I’m the one who left).
Admin
I'm only a sophomore in college, but when I read things like this, it makes me happy knowing there's a job out there for me, even if it is a WTF job. I'm not even in CS, or any kind of Software, but I feel confident that I know more than this guy. I'll probably be able to keep the job for six months, rather than three.
Admin
Oh my f***ing God!

I always took it as a Daily WTF meme that came about a couple of years ago.
Just like "Brillant" and other WTF memes used in these comments daily.
Admin
Still without reading the earlier post on this, but it's fairly indicative that the most likely place to find a piece in C# major is in "The Well-Tempered Clavier." Pick a key. Pick any key...
