    Thank you Sir, my submission to the patent office is on the way.

  2. Re:Once again, Slashdot editors are slow to post. on Xbox Price Drops For Australia And Europe · · Score: 1

    I think you will find it was the US that invaded the USSR, and it is spelt scarred, not scared as in frightened, and C is renowned amongst those researching better programming languages as being no better than a universal assembly language. And the NRA is a bunch of paranoid losers used by the Gun manufacturers to justify making money out of devices to kill people.

    "The masses have little time to think. And how incredible is the willingness of modern man to believe."

    "Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith . . . we need believing people." [Adolf Hitler, April 26, 1933, from a speech made during negotiations leading to the Nazi-Vatican Concordant of 1933] -------

    "Parallel to the training of the body a struggle against the poisoning of the soul must begin. Our whole public life today is like a hothouse for sexual ideas and simulations. Just look at the bill of fare served up in our movies, vaudeville and theaters, and you will hardly be able to deny that this is not the right kind of food, particularly for the youth...Theater, art, literature, cinema, press, posters, and window displays must be cleansed of all manifestations of our rotting world and placed in the service of a moral, political, and cultural idea." [Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Vol. 1, Chapter 1

    Hang on, there were two parties involved in this scam. Both are equally guilty. And I smell a big kickback scam in this, who offered it? Who took it?

    It'll work again. You would have thought he made enought money out of Y2K to retire and spare us the histrionics about what is day to day standard computer work. About the only use it could be is to scare the managers into actually doing something about a problem that is often raised and then completely ignored, unless some snake oil salesman makes it sound like the world is about to end.

  15. Re:Georgia is a WIDE state! on Georgia Tech Cracks Down on Learning · · Score: 1
    Your theory is correct, as Klerck has stated that he is amused by the replies. Given that most people people get amusement from ,for example, sex, friends, good times, reading, hobbies, ..... with the end of the list being reading porn all day, first posts, widening pages, paedophilia, used car salesman. Klerck appears to be on the end of the scale that the not quite humans live.

    One also has to query his programming prowess, in that it has taken him over two weeks to come up with this latest workaround of the page widening filter. I would expect a bright person to work it out in no more than a day.

    It is funny, but you have to ask yourself the state of the Government when it cannot afford to run basic infrastructure correctly. This is not an anti-government rant, it is just an observation that a service that is essential for correct functioning of country.

    Building your own computer has a very different meaning to what it used to. My first computer was an s-100 bus system, and I soldered all the components onto the cpu board. $2000 for a 2MHz Z80 with 16K ram on a separate board. I wanted to use it for a tty before I got the ram card for a 2650 based serial i/o board I bought that could run star trek. I used the ram on the video card that was left over after displaying 16*32. I hand assembled about 50 instructions into the left over memory. After all that, the star trek had a bug that caused it to crash after a couple of hours.
