#6 => Music ???

WTF? We're playing music that was written hundreds of years ago. Music will be "dead" when they cut off all of our hands and rip out our vocal cords. Maybe we NEED to go back to making music instead of just listening to it.

Will you scan my Machinery Handbook for me? It is 2693 pages long and the cover measures 4.8 X 7.2 inches.

My copy (the 29th edition) is 3492 pages long, not counting front matter and introduction. The cover currently measures 9¾"x14" — no problem with legibility! I found it here (26,025,361 bytes, a few seconds of download time).

That check mark was later added, is not standard ascii. Hence it is not portable to simpler playforms such as a basic text file.

“Look at the standard ASCII table of computer alphanumerics. Some computer gerk ‘decided’ that a check mark was not necessary while the opposing crossout X was needed. Computer geeks are inconsistent and inferior.”

Do your homework before making stupid posts. A computer geek did not set the original ASCII table!
