When I'm in the "zone" I make absolutely sure that all thoughts and reasoning gets documented as I code, and in an external document of notes.
Otherwise, you run the danger of looking at the code later, and not being in that mental ecstacy of understanding everything at once, and wondering why you wrote what you did, mainly because you had conceived of a frightfully, inhumanly efficient and clever way of doing something that no human may ever imagine again.
If, as stated in your previous post that obviously didn't quite contain all the information you wanted to include in it, the quote you used was the longest ever run-on sentence that included 'smokin crack', I believe you are in for a pleasant surprise, not unlike the surprise you receive the very first time you are smokin crack, except for the fact that you do not own a time machine, and could not have foreseen this monstrosity.
Because, like cold fusion, the Wrights fluked "something" and drew some insane conclusions, such as "heavier than air craft can fly under the own propulsion".
Unlike cold fusion, the scientific world believed them, and thus we are where we are now with aircraft.
I believe the cynicism of today's scientific community is preventing our society of the future from enjoying the benefits of cold fusion and the shaking away of the shackles of the second law of thermodynamics.
I try a distro every few months or so, and each time I get stuck on one thing or another. (printer or scanner or whatever)
I do a lot of RTFMing, compiling and configuring to try to get everything to go. But I think, for now, people have to accept that the most painless way to switch to linux from windows is to do it in conjunction with a purchase of recommended hardware.
I'm pretty close now. I've got video editing and a bunch of other going in KDE 3.1, but I've also got a fair bit of cruft around the hard disk now. If I buy the next computer carefully for linux, though, I reckon it would be up and going in a day or two with everything working.
Agreed. But the point I'm making is that in spite of it's inner worth as a course of action, there are still people who will force your hand knowing you are one of those people who "turn the other cheek".
They use that knowledge to retard your progress, stunt your growth and take away your contentment by continually taking from you and abusing your forgiveness.
It's one example where a spiritual, religious and (I used to believe) practical truth just can't be applied to _every_ situation and we are still left to apply our own choice of action to a particular situation.
The ethics are the same. But by "taking all means necessary", I will obviously draw a line somewhere between continually deleting/filtering unwanted mail which costs me in bandwidth and time, and beating them to a bloody pulp.
I am just suggesting that by their methods to get in my inbox, they are not allowing me to make any progress against spam by "taking the high moral ground"/"taking it in the cornhole"

Right next to the headline:
"Fortune Teller picks numbers, wins lotto!"
When I get fortune cookies, I always get:
"This fortune has a protective coating"
Mine is "Slippery When Wet"

Crap, I was old enough to play it, but I lived in another country, and couldn't get the questions.
Why didn't you show her how easy it is to beat up hookers and steal their cash?
Or how dumb the cops are when you ride on their car roofs with a sniper gun, and they can't work out where you are?
This has to be prelude to someone saying fugue and your musical jokes.
I'll just get the gist of it from the comments.
So does this mean that we don't need the miniscule lamas at all?

What's an intensive purpose? ;)

That is bloody funny.
Inquiring minds want to know if train sets still get played with by young'uns.
Maybe he had just watched The Matrix for the first time.
I know a *ahem* friend who downloaded all the H/C/P/V stuff they could find onto floppy disks using their first connection to the internet.
Now where did I^Hhe put them?
I'm sorry. I'm not from around here. I've been reading this instead. Which one should I be reading?
Absolutely. It wouldn't be an ethical or philosophical problem if it had an easy solution :)

I'm afraid I MUST disagree.
No point fearing the inevitable, my friend.
