Just when I thought I knew it all...

100%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like
this:

What makes 100%?

What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are
giving more than 100%?


We all have been to those meetings where someone
wants you to give over
100%.

How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in
life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
you answer these
questions:


If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
22 23 24 25 26

then:

H A R D W O R K

8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and

K N O W L E D G E

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

but,

A T T I T U D E

1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

however,

B U L L S H I T

2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

and

A S S K I S S I N G

1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that
while Hard Work and
Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get
you there, it's the
Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the
top!

Hmm... I get 127% for asskissing...

and only 91% for back stabbing...seems like that should be more...

Here, see for yourself (Requires .NET framework 1.1)

Ok, I just realized something ...odd... about my little program... Can anyone tell me what it is?

No...when I click the link, Internet Explorer runs the .exe

WITHOUT asking me if it should!

It must be detecting that it's a .net application, because it runs it in a sandbox...but still if the default action for other .exe files is to prompt, they shouldn't treat a .net exe as special.

Must be your firewall or it recongizes the code from when you wrote it, because when I ran it Kerio had a stroke.

Almost plausable, Dr.... except I wrote it at work, then ran it at home...I'm sure it's an IE thing, just like when I try to download an .xsl file and it wants to give it a .xml extenstion.

Nope...I ran it in IE (Maxthon to be specific)

I still think its a firewall rules issue if mine went banannas and yours went "belh"
