Conceived in 1999, gestated, born 2000. That's pretty normal in my limited experience! 
See my reply to Slacker007. It was 1999, the first few thousand members are in alphabetical order cause Maunder deleted the database, had no proper backup and and threw us all through in order. It was 1999.

I think it is more like the first few hundred. I am one of those (196) and, AFAIK, Ravi B (195) is the only other one I see here very much. That is, other than Chris and Dave but they don't count.

Few more than that. I' m 2,xxx odd.

Cause I've been a member since it started in 1999, I first ran into Chris when I changed some code of his hosted on CodeGuru - Microsoft developers related ideas, articles, tips, tricks, comments, downloads, and so much more related to programming in areas including C++, Visual C++, C#, Visual Basic, .NET Framework, and more[^] back in 1998.
And mostly cause the site launched on my 31st birthday (remember, we here in Australia are from the future) it is now the 16th and I am, now 50.

Well I have been a member for 18 Years 4 months and am member 968 so 19 years sounds probable

But what was the name of Chris's first kid? The one before Codeproject, the one that we never talk about?

The kid's name is Fight Club?
Weird but okay.
Auburn University has a football player whose actual first name is Big Kat.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

This makes me incredibly sad.
Aston Martin confirms DBX[^]
i just hope we never see Mr Bond in one. Though I know that’s probably the first thing they’ll do.

In summary, "Ick"!
Would Bond be carting around a soccer/football Mom and kids? Or, more likely, would he simply cart around extra cool gear, courtesy of Q?

Actually, I believe the next Bond is going to be a woman, so will Bond become a soccer mom? 
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

I have no problem with that
... as long as he drives it out the back of say a spaceX just launched just before it leaves the atmosphere, it bounces off a mountain cliff, explodes on contact with the water below and what remains from that is crushed into a tiny ball as it sinks 7 miles to the bottom of the Mariana trench, leaving only a lone soccer ball and Everton shirt floating on the water.
OK, yeah, perhaps that's overdoing it a little bit, it's more likely to be Man-U.
(and anyway there's no mountains close enough to the Mariana for that to happen ...unless ...)

Don't worry. With a name like that, it'll lose out to the DOLBY C.

They are making it because there are people that would buy it. That's what makes me sad.
There are cars that I despice but still understand that they need to exist, like the people carrier. (I might even buy one myself out of pure actual need, and then roll up in a fetal position and weep a bit)
The four wheel drive pickup I can understand as well. If the owner lives off the grid on the country side.
But the SUV of today is one of the most pointless contraptions in existence. (Note, I don't think of Toyota Land Cruiser or LandRover Defender as SUVs, they are offroad vehicles)

I saw a documentary about Aston Martin, it seems to me they are only focusing on the sound that the doors make when slammed
