I registered just to say this. Forward motion is awesome!

That took me a minute. lol.

There is entirely too many numbers in the OP's post, between the thread title and his name.
What do you think I am, a mathematician? Not even close. I'm a computer science major.
Little known fact: Computers run on magic, not numbers like people think.

You obviously haven't gotten very far in your course work. If you'd graduated, you would know that computers run on special smoke.
-
this is entirely untrue. Computer run on the life force of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.
Little known fact: Gates and Jobs are aliens and are immortal Highlanders. there can be only one.
-
They run on smoke? That would explain why I have a F in my comp sci class right now! I thought it was moth balls! On the positive side, no one wants to steal my smelly computer now.

Yes! That is why when the power supply breaks you can sometimes see the magic smoke escaping.

Remember, there are 10 kinds of people.
Those who know binary and those who don't.

Heh, i love that one.
Also: this topic blossomed in ways i could only dream.

I actually prefer the one that goes...
There are 3 types of people.
Those who can count and those who can't.

*looks up from the ritual sacrifice he had just finished slaughtering on the alter set up before his laptop* Computer run on what now?

:takes my power cord and plugs it into ink's ritual sacrafice: Mind if I leech some juice? I forgot my goat at home.

Oooh, where can I get one of them ritual goats so I can convince the gods to give me a laptop and/or a cell phone?
That may be what computers run on, but we all know the internet runs on teh lulz.

Ahh, my poor children. After you graduate, hang your shingle, and practice your dark algorithmic art for a decade or twain, you will slowly come to the realization that computers actually run on the psychotic, rambling, inconstant delusions of product managers, project managers, and endless committee meetings; and also immense heaps of investment money owned by aged men in suits with IQs in the 40s.

And where do you think they get their psychotic, rambling, inconstant delusions? Through magic special smoke created from the burning of a ritual animal sacrifice slaughtered by Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.
This special smoke is also what keeps their IQs in the 40s.

Heh, ive worked in the field for right about a decade now, maybe just under or so.i graduated with an associates in 2005 (started working for a small company before i started college) and i'm going back for my bachelors starting this month :P
When I worked at UPS (about 2006-ish) 90% of my day was stuck in meetings, the rest was dealing with PCs, despite being an in house tech for the financial office. So yeah, i can see this statement being true.....

There are also three tricks to being an effective speaker:
1) Be clear
2) Don't say too much.

84! W007! Pass the 3.14159!

If you're willing to wait 48 hours, there shall be 3.14159265
I'm thinking apple.

Happy Pi Day!

87. Is that it?? Are we remotely on schedule at this point?
-
GT - he has to do a lot of rewriting and writing. He just did a huge section of editing and has just started writing new material. I think he's on schedule, but instead of doing everything, then editing everything, he's doing both concurrently, so the amount of material done per material in finished product is moving slowly.

The Progress bar on the website?

A shard of adonalsium has little patience for petty math or computer talk.

Well, in that case, I'd have to commend you for your advancement. Being lost is a step up from being comatose.

I think not.
Get it?

Mathematically, no. But then again, you have no patience for that sort of thing.

It's a double entendre.... Never mind, if I have to explain it... it's not funny.
Back to the drawing boards!
-
I'll have you know, despite how unrelated it is, that 'double entendre' technically means 'to hear double' in French, but doesn't actually mean anything. I used it with a French guy once, and he had no idea what I was trying to say. It's just one of those misappropriated French phrases that we use because they sound sophisticated.

That's interesting. Well, 'to hear double,' is kind of close to words having a double meaning...
It's not like it's the first time our ignorant English ancestors got it wrong. My taiwanese friend says that's why english is so hard to learn. Not only do we break all of our own rules, we break everyone else's as well.
And if anyone got my little pun two posts ago, please let me know. It would be nice to know I'm not entirely crazy.
-
Crazy? I was crazy once. They put me in a hospital. I went comatose. And then I died. And incidentally thought not.
But then they put me in a box. Boxes make me crazy.

I got it after three reads. Very nice.
