The current version above, with only $150 as the bill, is not keeping with the times, what, with ObamaCare now in full force.
Perhaps the joke teller (er, typer) forgot those two extra zeros for $15,000 ...

I'm not sure why you'd want your account to be removed. but cross posting may get you there if you so desire.

There can be various reason for that. Today, before you go for any job interview etc, the person who is taking your interview knows everything about you i.e. via networking sites like facebook, linkedin, codeproject etc.
So to hide your identity, sometime people wants to remove account. But in facebook you can block account temporarily not sure if that feature exist here in cp.

No.
But it wouldn't be easy to tie most CP accounts to a specific individual: Emails aren't published, most avatars are inhuman, and all the "good" real world names were taken long ago!

Also deleting your CP account doesn't remove your display name from all the ridiculous crap you've posted over the years.

And deleting your account makes it impossible for you to manually delete everything one stupid post at a time...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

And of course with the original post now deleted the joke that has spawned this pointless conversation has lost all of its context.

In bed last night, I dreamt a wonderful improvement to the design of some software I'm working on.
It would clean it up, move the code into it's appropriate classes, make it all beautiful.
So I have just coded it.
Or at least, I coded 3/4 of it. That was the point when I thought "Hang on a moment, you can't have abstract static methods in C#". 
Bugger.
Note to self: don't listen to me when I'm sleepy.
Anyone else done this? Constructed a massive edifice of beautiful code in your mind, only to find when you have got sufficient caffeine in your system that it has a fatal, fundamental, flaw?

It's actually a reasonable concept if you allow static inheritance (i.e. static virtual in C# speak), and that's a really useful concept that is missing in C#. How many times have you had to create an instanced service class, even though it has no state (so should be static), because you can't have static members in an interface or virtual static members in a base class?
|
|
|
|

0 times. I've wished that interfaces could contain static methods so that T.someFunction could exist for generics (constrained to that interface), but that's a completely separate issue. (that can't work in C# of course)
How is "static virtual" even a reasonable concept? No instance = no vptr = no dynamic dispatch.

You're thinking too much about the C++ style implementation. There's actually no reason why you can't have vtable entries for static methods, though, even using that model – they'd just get passed nothing for the instance parameter. You just have to choose a different way of determining the type that should get dispatched, instead of using the instance's dynamic type, for example the declaration type of the method which was originally called.
Delphi goes some way towards this but it doesn't really work well because it doesn't sort out the dispatch properly.

Ok fair enough, obviously you can put anything in there, including random bytes, but that then brings us to:

I don't really see any options there, but that might be because I don't understand exactly what you mean by this:
