    [Irony, maybe? I haven't got my password on this machine, so I'm posting as Anonymous Coward. But I'm IWood. Got that? IWood wrote this. It was me.]

    I'll believe it when IWood posts saying that (s)he wrote comment #26084051.

    Talk about a showoff. Do you really know Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, or did you Babelfish it? Add "Mi povas chesighi kiam mi volas.", though I know I'll get yelled at for speaking Esperanto. For all the monoglots out there, that's "I can stop when I want to."

    - P.S. "chesighi" should be "cesigi", with a circumflex ^ over C and G. Is /. really so far behind times that it can't handle Unicode?

    Oh well, what else to expect from a bunch of Americans who think Scotland is in England.

    You're giving us too much credit. Most people I know wouldn't even be able to tell me where they think Scotland is.

  14. Re:Followup on YouTube Reposts Anti-Scientology Videos · · Score: 1

    Of course, at least on the BASIC I'm used to, the variable in 'micro$oft' is 'micro', not 'oft'. $cientology would be a syntax error.

    Back then, I only had the few commands I found scribbled on a sticky note stuck in "The ABC's of MS-DOS". I figured out a few on my own, like 'if..then', 'locate', and 'run'. I had no clue what the hell a subroutine was, so anything like that would have been too much.

    I think, though, that it ruined me... I can do just about anything with simple procedural commands, but object-oriented just doesn't click. I can use C++, but not the OO parts.

  15. Re:Followup on YouTube Reposts Anti-Scientology Videos · · Score: 1

    Not old (only 16), but I first started programming on IBM BASIC, on an old PC-XT that my grandfather had. I did... That stupid '$' for 'S' always throws me for a loop - I always think 'syntax error' right away when I see 'micro$oft'.

    Besides, Avgas couldn't be used in a jet engine. A turbine could be built that would take it, but normal jet engines won't.
