I think I am in love!

Is it my laboured prose that has you a flutter or is it the kindred sentiment? Either way sir you do flatter me.

Both.
But mainly the former.

Awww, guest spam. The first of no doubt many. How endearing.

And I thought the human questions were creative. Time to switch up the "are you human" questions. All you need is one guy in India to figure out the answer to one of the questions and then it keeps on firing until it get's that question again.

What'y'all bitching about?
Even the music video pages load fine for me.
(I guess that with 24G of RAM, 12 parallel Intel cores, an SSD drive and two high speed broadband lines, that shouldn't be surprising!)
When my customers complained about my software being a bit slow, I often advise them to just get a bigger spring in their pooter, rather than tinker with what works.

Compensating for anything, are we?

Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink. Say no more.

Hello new people.

I know it's a fair way back now but the discussion on whether those demi sexual transethnic people exist.... yes, they do, on tumblr. Really if you search for any of those descriptive terms on tumblr you'll find a whole bunch of wtf. I know this, because I have this whole stupid obsession with reading about them, the way other people read about celebrities. It's just fascinating. I'm a terrible person. -.-

Not with microbreweries around, plus I brew my own. We just had a new microbrewery open up here, the last one went out of business when the recession hit. These guys brew and sell, but don't provide food, but they do allow you to bring your own food in, which makes for a cheap restaurant to eat and drink at. There's nothing like fresh handcrafted beer (I did a Google and did find some that make Altbier, but nowhere near here). :(

If this is the environment the baboons and their ilk have been "nurtured" in, it could explain their constant shrieks, pearl clutching, tearing down posters, fainting spells etc.

Not to mention their entitlement issues and why they are being oppressed stalked, bullied and harassed, because someone, somewhere, has the temerity to laugh at them.

The only surprise really, is why more of them do not behave in a manner that would make any member of Scientology proud, though I suppose cowardice could explain that.

The Reality of College Censorship, Part 2: Speech Codes
http://www.volokh.com/2012/10/31/the-re ... des/[quote]
In fact, the percentage of overall “red light” schools has now dropped for four straight years, from 75 percent in 2009, to 71 percent in 2010, to 67 percent in 2011, to 65 percent today. Additionally, the number of institutions that do not maintain any published policy restrictions on student free speech (which we call “green light” schools) has nearly doubled over that time, from 8 to 15. Nonetheless, the fact that such a high proportion of surveyed colleges and universities continue to maintain clearly unconstitutional policies on student expression, and that so few of them have rid their campuses of speech codes, is cause for disappointment.

In fact, there are so many laughable speech codes out there that FIRE has been able to highlight an outrageous “Speech Code of the Month” every month since 2005 — with no risk of running out of suitable material. Some early examples of clearly unconstitutional policies include our February 2006 Speech Code of the Month at Jacksonville State University, which stated that “No student shall threaten, offend, or degrade anyone on university owned or operated property.” Our September 2007 Speech Code of the Month, courtesy of Ohio State University, simply mandated, “Do not joke about differences related to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, ability, socioeconomic background, etc.” Drexel University’s Speech Code of the Month (September 2006) used an even wider brush; it broadly banned “inconsiderate jokes” and “inappropriately directed laughter.”(It’s useful to note that Drexel is a private university in Philadelphia that, like the vast majority of private colleges and universities, promises students freedom of speech in its official policies. While private universities are not bound by the First Amendment, when a private institution clearly commits itself to free speech on campus and holds itself out as a bastion of free inquiry, FIRE holds that school to the same standards governing freedom of expression that govern a public university. This also reflects the “contract theory” of individual rights that has been recognized by many courts reviewing college promises to students. For more on our stance regarding private colleges and universities, please see this piece I wrote for RealClearReligion last month.)[/quote]

Oh, and the need for nebulous "harassment" policys?

Re: the poor girl who felt scarred by a guy saying "Joe Strummer" to her:

I used to walk around town with a Frank Zappa t-shirt on; always provoked interesting reactions. The best one I ever got - guy walking down the street sees my shirt, starts loudly yelling "I'm gonna ram it up your poop chute" - I can only imagine the years of therapy our special snowflake would require after a devastating ordeal like that.

Aye, I should have mentioned them as I have heard about them.

*cough* I have to confess that although I have practically visited almost every state in America over the years, I have never spent more than ten days on any visit. Those trips, with one exception never left me much time to explore, one Hilton is pretty much the same as any other (though the Four Seasons are always distinctive) most of my memories of America are of pretty much the same hotel room. :lol:

Last time I was in Arizona for example, I did not have the time to visit the Grand Canyon, closest I ever got was Vegas (and I have been there twice) and the only gambling I did was 15 mins at a penny slot machine.

Oh well. 1st world problems (if you think PeeZuss has a big carbon footprint you do not want to see mine, he has to do Bono/Gore class flying from now on for the rest of his life even think about getting close to mine).

awaraw: you're probably right. Still, I have the impression this 25/page format is kinda slowing down the conversation. For exemple, where are all the Assies, Brits, Germans and usual morning posters? I know today is a holyday, so that might explain it.

[Phil_Giordana_FCD]

Fuck you all in the ear, cunts!

My first computer I ever used was a Hitachi with a 12-bit word that drove an NMR machine at Horsted College, back in the Medway Towns, and the first computer I ever owned was an Acorn System 1

My first computers only "disk" drive was a cassette tape. It had 4kb RAM.

Sounds like my first computer, a Commodore VIC-20. 4K, "datasette", all that. I remember getting the 16K upgrade module and thinking "Wow! 16K! That's freakin' huge!!! There's no way I'll ever write a program that big!" Ha.

There's a rather funny comic about superheros - forget what it was called - but one of the failed superheros is a bloke who's got a 2k ram in his head or something because he didn't think you'd ever need more than that.

First for me was an Asmtrad CPC 6128 with cassette tape. Then I switched to an Amiga 500, and my life suddenly changed (read: stuck all day on Shadow of the Beast, Xenon II and other titles).

(More compensating for my small nose?)
The very first computer that I programmed myself was a CDC 6600 mainframe. (~1973)
Those beasties were REAL computers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDC_6600
https://newsline.llnl.gov/_rev02/wayBac ... 001970.jpg
And no, it was not less powerful than your current iPhone, despite the myths.

The very first computer that I owned was an Hewlett-Packard 9845 workstation (~1978?)
http://www.bohemiahouse.co.uk/museum/ca ... p9845b.jpg
Designed for military/industrial use,it had an integral printer, two tape drives, and the awesome HPIB (now called GPIB) bus for floppy-drives as well as the famous HP 20Mb hard drive which was the size of a washing machine, and just as loud!
It featured a removeable 10Mb platter.
And a 2631A dot matrix printer that sounded like a butcher's meat-saw, but was as reliable as all get-out.
Oh the luxury!
(Come on, it's not boasting (much) - I am a professional programmer, and was always destined to be, it seems.)
I still have a photo of my 9845 somewhere, running John Horton Conway's "Game of Life" that I programmed it run.
It expired in around 1994, due to the power caps releasing the smoke that is packed in them at time of manufacture)
I gave it to the HP Museum in Melbourne.

All caught up (for now). Someone back a few pages was criticizing Alt bier. I know blaspheming is what we do, but that's pushing it. Alt Bier schmeckt. Es macht mich traurig, dass man hier in Amerika Alt nicht finden kann.

Altbier is between a German lager and a British pale ale? Sounds good to me.

Of course the iPhone would be less powerful than the old 6600. That antique would have had a power measured well up in at least the tens of kilowatts, I'm sure!

[Michael K Gray]

I gave it to the HP Museum in Melbourne.

In fact - that image from the museum looks suspiciously like my old beasty.
(And no, they are not "normal" tapes.)
My left palm rubbed away the "palm grey" paint over the years.
(My right palm rubbed something else)

They said that they had another salvaged power supply with which to replace my failed unit.
Must'a got it running again.

Fantastic graphics as well.
Yep, this piccy has to be my old machine:
http://www.hpmuseum.net/images/9845A-40.jpg
I want it back you bastards!
(Note the paper emerging from the printer under the screen? Neat, eh?)

Got myself a "9845C" as well:- colour instead of green on black.
And a "space-age" light-pen.
(Yes, NASA used them)
The screens or "heads" were detachable, but weighed a bloody ton!
I think that machine was designed by an hernia surgeon.

Not because I was alive then, but because I worked at a place in the late 90s that still used them.

Way more than that when one takes into account the cooling required.
These things had Freon running through them, with refrigeration units the size of two pantechnicons!

P'raps that is why the iPhone battery performance is less less than stellar?

Yes. Originally "Computers" were humans, almost exclusively female.
A famous example is the female scientist Henrietta Swan Leavitt (1868-1921), an astronomer computer, who discovered the "period-luminosity relationship" in Cephid variable stars, something that is employed to this day to judge the distance of galaxies.
She battled entrenched sexism of the sort that Ophelia could only wet knickers over.

This morning I had a dream I was being chased by a giant wet vagina with arms and legs. The giant vagina had a cardboard cut out head of Ophelia gaffa taped to it.

As I'm pursued I'm squirted with slyme in an effort to slow me down. I out run this slymy terror and hide in a bin. Too easy...hide under a car...Nooooo tooo easy panic...splurt...frozen still. *switch scene* I'm bound to a fetid old loung crawling with rats and this slymy vagina is trying to force feed me a moldy wafer. I vomit. I'm smacked in the head by a labia or was it an arm. I dunno. I try to scream but no sound is coming out... I wake up.

I bet!
I hardly ever used paper tape. Too much strife.
But was forced to on occasions when accessing "the internet" (remember that kiddies, no: not the web) via a 110 baud(!) teletype.
One could easily type faster than the transmission speed so, to obviate this hellishly annoying flaw, I resorted to typing off-line to a punched paper tape, editing it (with very REAL cut and paste kiddies) then feeding it back through at its own pace.
Ah. Those were the days.
