"That's why it's always worth having a few philosophers around the place. One minute it's all Is Truth Beauty and Is Beauty Truth, and Does A Falling Tree in the Forest Make A Sound if There's No one There to Hear It, and then just when you think they're going to start dribbling one of 'em says, Incidentally, putting a thirty-foot parabolic reflector on a high place to shoot the rays of the sun at an enemy's ships would be a very interesting demonstration of optical principles."

Was that the only way or was that his earnest writings? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Hemming is good as it “seems”.
At times I meditate on fools whether they are or whether they become.
I mean, do fools get fooled because they are, or are fools, fools because they get fooled?
On the other hand, I wonder if it is intelligent to get drunk or one must be intelligent firstly to have something to lose on getting drunk. If drunkenness is to lose rationality one must be rational to have what should be lost on getting drunk. The paradox here is that if one was really rational, would that one, step forward to get drunk?
I believe that those who get drunk are those who have not what need be lost and drunkenness make believe that they lost what they never had.
Hemingway may have meant for intelligence a sort of pretence in which a jester builds a ruse by pretending drunkenness. Such an act allows the jester to mingle with his fools, while drunkenness is one of his tools.
In that case the jester would prefer the fools that are rather than the fools that would be because he has no intention to rob them of being fools not, but to gain the merits of the fools out of which many wisdom may emerge.
Cheers.

I always comment my code.
In a group project at Uni, one of the coders did comment his code. Mind you, with his choice of language, we'd really rather he hadn't. Further more, the on-screen display was titled "Information Kiosk Bulls***". He does realise we're getting marked on this, doesn't he?

Haaaaaaaaahahahah....he he he hilarious. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
Still LOL.
No, no I must control myself and stop laughing, really.
Ok.
It all begins with discipline and ends with discipline.
A coder should never comment his code for himself but for others, because that is the original reason for commenting, maintenance.
A code may be abandoned for many months before revisited and then re-comprehending it would depend greatly on verbosity, good spelling and a perfect choice of names representing input process and output data.
An integer counter may be called “i” but what is so wrong about calling it i_Finished_Pencil_Counter?
Why should lpL_Molten_Core_Temperature be called T1?
The better we choose the names, the less the needed comment, because such names are self explanatory.
In conditional loop-sections we need to comment the purpose of the loop and its conditional exiting information.
Comments should be as short and specific as possible to avoid confusion.
Of course “Nocando” titles are a big no no. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
It only reflects the mentality of the programmer and in that case, I assure you that he was completely a misplaced person who belongs to a brothel. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
aah.. you've got to love mathematics <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
it's unbeleivable that almost everything can be put into a mathematical calculation.

I agree, although if you use a lot of long named variables, it can make code difficult to read because the maths and methods get lost amongst the variable names. I also have the habit of reusing variables to save space (in the vast amounts of available memory - yeah, I'm a a fool), so using detailed names can actually cause confusion. Anyway, I'm starting to ramble off topic here.

I would agree that a trip to the brothel would probably get rid of some of their built up frustration! Hackerz really need to get out and get someone. It'll at least give them something else to do.
Anyway, quotes... Nope. I'm drawing a blank. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

Indeed, but I was not giving out all my secrets here.
There is also the secret of acronyms aliasing and variable overloading.
This allows you to declare a legend at the top of the code that does not consume memory at run time but makes variables clearer on meaning and at the same time allows the usage of the very short forms (4 letters at most) in equations to shorten them and clarify the logistics.
I have the habit of multiplying by 2 through barrel shifting rather than multiplication to squeeze execution time by the nanosecond, so do not worry about anything being wasted here.

Bottom line response = I cannot remember.
I must have used Quick Basic a couple of times, but when the majority was using it I was mainly using assembly, ANSI C and Advanced FORTRAN. Now my serious work is in VC++ and my fast burner is VB.
Hence, I have practically skipped QB and TB although Borland did a fantastic job IIRC.
You would not believe the fantastic graphics we produced in DOS 640 x 480 256 colours in the old days.
If you are aware of TOPAZ then you might have an idea of the quality. It was Amiga 1000 that kicked in and computers were never the same again after. The first virus was born on an Amiga by the way and it was a joke inspired by the fantastic speed of the graphics engine. The programmer wanted his joke to be sticky and persistent because it was a frightening screen and a mad laugh, so he wished to be scarier. The idea to embed code to make a copy in memory for being triggered later on periodically came from that concept. Viruses evolved since then to carry several destructive missions in retaliation from pirates who bypass the security codes. The earliest internet communications helped the spread of that concept from the Amiga and onto Mackintosh of apple computers and from there to Intel-MS PCs.
At that time Bill Gates was drinking wine from bottles not from barrels. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Only those who took the RISC were drunk from barrels that could shift binary numbers left and right. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Most probably QB never had such an operator.
Kindest regards.

In Pegasus Mail, there is an Easter Egg : The Joke Page.
It's located in the Program's Help.
Nowadays - meaning PMail 4 - it seems no more to be easily accessible from within the Help Function - one had to explicitely search for it, which doesn't seem to work now.
So, here it is : The famous Pegasus Mail Joke Page by David Harris ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Congratulations! You found the joke page.
Software developers are curious, stunted individuals with massive egos and towering (and usually wildly inflated) opinions of their own worth and ability... Pegasus Mail's author realises that he's probably no different from any other software developer in this regard. Accordingly, he has indulged himself outrageously by burying this completely pointless page in the help file to see if anyone finds it.
Your reward for enduring this string of platitudes and pointless observations is a short selection of some of my favourite quotable quotes -- you might like to use some of these in your variable signature, or, you might not... <grin>. Warning in advance - some of these quotes are probably not very politically correct, so if you're a pious or self-righteous person, you should probably stop reading this screen right now and return to your mail.

A sun pet: an animal used to protect the owner of the pet from sunburn.

They asked the computer for the Answer.
"The answer to what?", asked Deep Thought.
"Life! The Universe! Everything!" they said.
After calculating for seven million years, it told them that the Answer was "Forty-two"...
so they had to build an even larger computer to find out what the Question was.

Lockmar,
I guess you're religious.
I'm an atheist. (I guess you could even call me the antichrist)
It would be unfair to say I dislike all religion. Becouse in every religion you find one or two things that make a little sence.
I completely agree with Carrie.
There was a topic about this on the old forum. (the good old days... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)
Religion is a dangerous topic. Why? Becouse religion is invented by mankind to use as an excuse. To justify wars. To justify crimes and terrorism. Becouse it's invented to keep ppl under control.
IMO it has come so far that religion is one of the major obstacles to create a better world. Just becouse some ppl abuse/misuse the believe and faith of others for their own sick goals. (at the moment a docu. about a military field hospital in Iraq is on tv fi.)
Lots of ppl here. With lots of different opinions. So I guess we better leave religion be or start a topic about it.
I just don't like it.

here's some family fav quotes, mostly from my mom.
don't start looking for toilet when u're about 2 sh*t.
meaning: always be prepared. don't leave things 2 the very last minute. good one for procrastinators.
tiger head, mouse tail.
meaning: all hype, no action. like most anticipated games that turn out 2 be biggest disappoinment, don't just talk big. make sure u do it & do it well.
these quotes actually sound better & funnier in chinese as such are their origin.
will provide more local proverbs soon...
may who fly with butt in air......have crack up! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
man who go to bed with itchy bum......wake up with smelly finger! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />seriously no, not toilet proverbs.
let's see if i can remember another.....
even a drop of dye can ruin a whole jar of milk.
meaning: all it takes is one dude 2 spoil everyone's reputation. for example, osama's boo-boo on 911 ruins the reputation of all arabs who generally are peace-loving folks.
it rains of hailstones at home, & rains of gold elsewhere.
meaning: same as the grass is always greener at the other side.
no matter how well a squirell jumps, it will fall eventually.
meaning: nobody's perfect, no matter how good/invincible/great u are.
these are malay of origin.

one of my favorite parting lines: "i'm off like a prom dress."
"Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet."
well i thought it's the other way round. i know a few engineers & engineering lecturers, & they always say if it ain't broke, there's nothing to fix.
An engineer was crossing a road one-day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week." The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.
The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want." Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.
Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, and that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"
The engineer said,"Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girl friend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."
@janggut - i think it's the engineering

Quote from a Signature from a german IT-Fachinformatiker :
Systemintegrator zu Azubi (Anwendungsentwicklung):
"Hey, wer hat denn den Server ausgeschaltet?!"
Azubi (stolz): "Ich, da war ein Hacker drauf!"
Systemintegrator (flippt voll aus): "DAS WAR ICH, DU VOLLIDIOT! Mit PC-Anywhere!"
Echt passiert! Traurig, aber wahr!
[Note : There are two "flavours" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> of Fachinformatikers : One is Systemintegration - admin-like job, the other one is Anwendungentwicklung - programmer-like job.]
Translation :
Systemintegrator to person being in training as Anwendungsentwickler :
"Hey, who has turned off the server ?"
Trainee (being proud) : "I did it, there was a hacker in the system !"
Systemintegrator (getting mad) : "THAT WAS ME, YOU IDIOT ! With PC-Anywhere !"
Really happened ! Sad, but true !

The caterpillar just eats and loafs and sleeps -- and after awhile, without any effort, it turns into a butterfly, with nothing to do but flit around and be beautiful. And the tumblebug toils and pants and sweats and worries, pushing its burden up hill forever, like Sisyphus, and pretty soon some one comes along and thinks how vulgar and ugly it is, and steps on it and squashes it. Idleness and beauty are their own rewards.

Come you back to Mandalay,
where the old Flotilla lay...
For the wind in the trees

you British soldier,
come you back to Mandalay.

Clarence: "Dunn! Gentlemen, let's get to work."
Dunn: "Unger, didn't you serve under Over in the Airforce?"
Unger: "Ah, not directly. Technically Dunn was under Over and I was under Dunn."
Dunn: "Yep."
Unger: "So Dunn, you were under Over and over Unger."
Dunn: "Yep!"
Clarence: "Ah that's right. Dunn was over Unger and I was over Dunn."
Unger: "So you see both Dunn and I were under Over even though I was under Dunn."
Clarence: "Dunn was over Unger and I was over Dunn!"
Stewardess: "Captain! Mr Dunn and Mr Unger were sucked

For something to exist, it has to be observed.
For something to exist, it has to have a position in time and space. And this
explains why nine-tenths of the mass of the universe is unaccounted for.
Nine-tenths of the universe is the knowledge of the position and direction of
everything in the other tenth. Every atom has its biography, every star its
file, every chemical exchange its equivalent of the inspector with a clipboard.
It is unaccounted for because it is doing the accounting for the rest of it, and

Fragment of an „Questions & Answers“ text accompanying an old DOS program :
Q. „Speech on the IBM PC is not just a case of ‘yet another Lotus-1-2-3’ but a basic piece of innovative software which is being incorporated into several commercial products at this very moment. Releasing an un-supported non-commercial product of this nature is a highly irresponsible act which we cannot stand by and watch without doing our utmost to prevent“ - a UK company talking about the PLAY program.
A. (I’ll let you make your own answer up, send me your favourite.)
Note : The DOS program „PLAY“ was able to „play“ files containing sound like speech.
This text seems to originate in the early 90s of the last century, I suppose. It’s printed out in my archive without any accompanying notes, so it remains an interesting fragment.

When you cook pastas, you always end up with too much.
A clean tie unavoidably attracts food.
An oven always cooks too much or not enough. A microwave oven even does both in one shot.
The most beautiful a piece of cake is, the more chances it has to fall askew in the plate.

Never underestimate the lacrymal potential of an onion.
A recipe always requires an ingredient you don’t have. If you want to buy it, the grocery stores are closed. If you can buy it, another ingredient’ll be missing.
The distance to reach an open grocery store is conversely proportional to the amount of food left in the refrigerator.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish, and the tyranny of evil men.
Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and goodwill,
shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness
for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.
And I will strike down on thee with great vengence and furious anger,
those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers, and you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengence upon thee.

Of golden sands, and crystal brooks, With silken lines, and silver hooks.

Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words?
He thinks I don't know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right.
But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use.

I like to do my principal research in bars, where people are more likely to tell the truth or, at least, lie less convincingly than they do in briefings and books.

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.

When a man opens a car door for his wife, it's either a new car or a new wife.

My old boss who has since separated from the AF had this hanging in his office when he left and I decided to keep it.
"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much for so long with so little, that we are now qualified to do anything with nothing"
in the sometime past, I worked in a place that had this sign
"Between Tea breaks coffee breaks lunch breaks pee breaks we shall have a small work break"
"At about 2:30 in the mornin' I woke up and heard a freight train comin' down our lake.
And I thought "There ain't no freight train on this lake."
And it got closer, and closer, and closer, and closer.
And all of a sudden it hit, and it hit with a vengeance and I didn't know what was goin' on.
And all the lights were blown out on the dock and the boat was buckin' and rockin'.
And I was thrown to the floor and on my way to the floor I grabbed the curtain and looked outside.
And Lightnin' was flashin' and the rain was flying sideways and I thought, "Isn't that purrty?"
My A.D.D. kicked in for just a second there.
And then I realised, 'I'm gonna die.'"
Yay.

Taken from The Daily Llama, a Monty Python site :
I probably owe my life to the fact that I couldn't get the rest of them to vote for my material. Graham and I wrote this savage attack on the Ayatollah Khomeini, about this frenzied loony with all these religious objections to toilet paper. It was just a scurrilous, way over-the-top attack on Islamic extremists. I thought it was hilarious, and the others didn't, so it never got in. And I owe my life to that, because we would've got at least a fatwah each. Actually, maybe that's what happened to Graham...
