    Why not use MS-DOS shell language, like in those .BAT files? I have always thought that a really efficient programming language should get rid of the ridiculous I/O paradigm. Java has been a great step in that direction, but it hasn't gone far enough in simplifying the syntax.

    Jag får inte berätta idéen och jag kommer hålla mitt löfte, men alla
    ledtrådar för att göra ett snabbare protokoll än normal överföring finns här. Det gäller bara att se "utseendet" av lemma 3, då vet man hur man ska komma runt det. Jag kan komma på 3. 2 av dem används idag. Den ena för att sända snabbare över kopparkabel, den andra för att göra elmotorer starkare i hög hastighet. Båda behandlar exakt vårat problem. Jag kommer att behöva att du är skärpt, för bådas skull. Mina kunskaper inom elektronik är ganska ringa, men jag är bra på att programmera vilket kommer att vara till god hjälp, men icke avgörande för projektets genomförande. Jag kan bara definera begreppen mjukt, som tex lemma 3. Du måste kunna se "utseendet" för detta, som är mycket komplext. En stor mängd faktorer spelar in och vi kommer att behöva kompromissa med dem alla. Tex flankdistortion - skew. Kapacitans, induktans, resonans -Allt som spelar in mellan punkt A och B på en kopparkabel.

    Wow, this is interesting:
    The head of the Galactic Federation (76 planets around larger stars visible from here) (founded 5,000,000 years ago, very space opera) solved overpopulation (250 billion or so per planet, 178 billion on average) by mass implanting. He caused people to be brought to Teegeeack (Earth) and put an H-Bomb on the principal volcanos (Incident II) and then the Pacific area ones were taken in boxes to Hawaii and the Atlantic area ones to Las Palmas and there "packaged".

    His name was Xenu. He used renegades. Various misleading data by means of circuits etc. was placed in the implants.

    When through with his crime loyal officers (to the people) captured him after six years of battle and put him in an electronic mountain trap where he still is. "They" are gone. The place (Confederation) has since been a desert. The length and brutality of it all was such that this Confederation never recovered. The implant is calculated to kill (by
    pneumonia etc) anyone who attempts to solve it. This liability has been dispensed with by my tech development.

    One can freewheel through the implant and die unless it is approached as precisely outlined. The "freewheel" (auto- running on and on) lasts too long, denies sleep etc and one dies. So be careful to do only Incidents I and II as given and not plow around and fail to complete one thetan at a
    time.

    In December 1967 I knew someone had to take the plunge. I did and emerged very knocked out, but alive. Probably the only one ever to do so in 75,000,000 years. I have all the data now, but only that given here is needful.

    One's body is a mass of individual thetans stuck to oneself or to the body.

    One has to clean them off by running incident II and Incident I. It is a long job, requiring care, patience and good auditing. You are running beings. They respond like any preclear. Some large, some small.

    Thetans believed they were one. This is the primary
    error. Good luck.
