ALthough there is an Java forum where reply rate is much Faster but that
deals only with Java...
www.forum.java.sun.com[/URL]
and one more quality of this forum is that The person who has serious question puts up duke dollars on the questions and one who satisfies him well,gets the money...

I think that can too started up here,,because some times many talented persons do feel laziness ,,so when the questions have got duke dollars over it they can be encouraged to answer it...
