Well sorry to tell you OG but the Lander's purpose was to test landing on mars. It was a success, they tested and it failed, now they have the data to make it better next time 
So actually it was no ones fault except for the the ones writing the article wrong

if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

So...I do not fail[^] eh? 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

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?

Shouldn't that be:

That too. If we're going for completeness,

If it turns out bad sensor data was to blame:

But I was replying directly to:

Not to the original message,

Hello,
Just making people here aware of my free memory profiler for native (C/C++) applications/games.
It ships with an SDK allowing to target any platform with Windows based cross compiler.
MTuner - C/C++ memory profiler[^]
Check it out and have fun!

Wrong forum it will be appreciated more in Free Tools Discussion Boards[^], and it will stand a better chance of being found and used there.

Sure! The last message posted there was 1½ months ago

And it is still there, try finding a message 1 month old in the Lounge.
Also you would not go looking for a profiler or any tool in the Lounge!

We probably should feel honored that you think there are no tools in the lounge.

On the second call from my recruiter at Nigel Frank, UK, he asked how much notice would I need to move to Dublin, and he told me to do some serious research on the affordable availability of a single bedroom place in the city, being on a package of €65,000 p.a. It could even be a bedsitter to start with.
Any advice would be welcome, and if it happens, meeting a familiar name or two around the isles would be great. But no beers.

It sadly does, even more so for whiskeys, but I'm a recovering alcoholic. I'm also a Thelemite[^], and their order, the O.T.O.[^] is much, much stronger in Ireland, or the UK in general, than in SA.

In that case you're forgiven.

Dublin is expensive (especially the part I live in  ) but not compared to London. Also the personal tax rates are higher so you won't be trousering as much of that €65k as you would do in the UK. A 1-bed should be €800 - €1000 pcm[^]
Areas to avoid*: Darndale, Coolock, City Centre / Sherriff Street
Areas to look at: Dalkey, Dun Loaghaire, Blackrock, Ballsbridge, Fairview, Drumcondra, Howth (ish)
* This is, obviously, my opinion and is mostly because of poor their transport links. Dublin is small and easily cycle-able but the busses basically don't work so you need to be near a LUAS (tram) or DART (rail) unless you are close to work.

Are in contact with Paul Watson, previously of this parish? He has just done the reverse, going back to SA from Dublin, but he may well know of people to ask.

No, indeed not. Matter of fact, I knew Paul from CP while h was still in SA. I'll be sure to ask him.

Bigger than the village of Treblinka?

I wouldn't move there on that package TBH. Tax is high, public transport is a joke. A decent apartment will probably cost you 1500 EUR per month. Try www.daft.ie for rental listings. Depending on where you will be working and your personal preferences, the city centre could actually be fine to live in, but most people choose to live by the sea, Sandymount or such. Proximity to the ocean is one of the best things about Dublin. That, and the craic...
