Oh I'm sure it won't be forever.

Instead, it will ONLY be until he gets to work in the morning when he has all that free bandwidth to use

LOL

Mine was a retired High School and College professor.

He was there because he wanted to be, which was definitely a good thing.

I doubt we'll see him for a while. He took a pretty good beating here.

As you have been stressing so much about religion on this thread, perhaps you would be so good as to explain to us what, exactly, it is you believe.

As a Protestant Christian, I was not offended at all by the Dogbert cartoon. Quite the contrary, I found it not only funny, but quite apropos.

hated derivatves. Integration wasn't that bad--with infinite integration, I now remember: don't forget the cheese (+c)...8^)

Really? I always found derivatives to be easier on the whole. It seemed to me like derivatives could be solved by remembering a handful of rules, whereas integrations often required one-time use formulas to get through (hence the ponderous tomes to be found in the math section at the university library).

That said, it was cool to see the elegance with which it came together when working with Gaussian surfaces and such in Physics II.

Iggle is John and Crapper, Tobin in Chapel Hill and Urine in Denver all wrapped up into one.

Iggle manages to remind me of Flamian, though...maybe we should use the manual buzzer everytime Iggle posts...EEEEEHHHHH!!!

My English is fine, it's one of you guys who has admitted English isn't their native language once before.

Do you happen to have a problem with those of us who are non-native English speakers? I'll give you two guesses as to who is a non-native English speaker, and I guarantee you one of them is wrong.

Be very careful...

Perhaps you would like to point out where someone said that English was not their native language?

Well, it was mostly just a good-natured jab a MAC users.

However, many people I know that remind me of the Clintons (no class, power-drunk, consider themselves "elite") prefer MACs. Not because of any technical superiority, but because they are less prevalent and more expensive, hence "the computer of the elite" in their minds.

I'm surprised, and a little disappointed, too. What is the use of taking a swipe at MAC users if they don't get overly offended, as usual. :)

I am actually from the smaller minority that prefers OpenVMS from (what used to be) DEC.
