I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it. -- (Terry Pratchett)

Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb -- they're often students, for heaven's sake. -- (Terry Pratchett)

I found while driving in Wyoming that wearing a stetson and driving a beat-up pickup meant you could go as fast as you like, while the police picked up Californian winnebagos that went one mph over 55. After all, they wanted to bring money into the state, not merely circulate it. -- (Terry Pratchett)

We've missed you, did you miss us? Yes, but I think I have time to reload. -- (Terry Pratchett)

I have had a blast playing MWiF today and I'm happy! It's time for dinner, Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and I'm having a "computer beer". Some DOS beer. Funny though, it equates DOS to some O/S I've never heard of, "UIS".

That is, I'm having a DOS .EQ. UIS (or DOS EQUIS) Hey, what do you expect from an old FORTRAN programmer.

My point was if someone is going to quote Buddha (with a quote I cannot find) I thought I would quote Pratchett.

Sir Terence David John "Terry" Pratchett,OBE (28 April 1948 � 12 March 2015)

He is best known for his Discworld book series of about 40 volumes.

Animation
Wyrd Sisters, an animated series by Cosgrove Hall.
Soul Music as animated series by Cosgrove Hall.
Truckers, an animated series by Cosgrove Hall.

TV Mini-series
Johnny and the bomb, a three-part TV mini-series on the BBC.

Films
Hogfather, aired by Sky One, Christmas 2006 as TV film.
The Colour of Magic, aired by Sky One, Easter 2008 as TV film.
Going Postal, aired by Sky One, Easter 2010 as TV film.

For those that don't know Assembly, Assembler, and Fortran are considered scientific computer languages.

I keep thinking I've missed one scientific language but then 40 years ago is awhile.

And I am one of them, Hi flipper how are you, of course I am a conservative from Pennsylvania and not a liberal from the great liberal state of Connecticut and the great liberal university of Yale, which intellectually is way above us mere little peons commonly known as conservatives, so maybe you could explain the really funny part here.

If you can? Please type slow so we can digest it and be able to understand it.

I'm semi OK, such is the lot of a conservative from Connecticut.

bo don't stress it! I think the scenario is this:

- To understand the joke you need to be a geeky programmer.
- No "normal" person would understand that joke, hence Paul's comment.
- I am proud to say I do not understand it either and echo the monkeys comment - except I would upgrade to Piranha's.

Well I didn't write the post I wanted to write, as a result the thread - not unsurprisingly - went off tangent and now is home to computer geeks with their "jokes"

But hey! So what? At least the thread has people posting. Would be good now to have an update from Erik on an outline of plans for the remainder of 2015. Getting one or two optionals and the single map campaigns would perhaps spark further interest.

Bo, Thanks. That picture is from 1966. It may have been a promo for their TV series that ran from 1966 to 1968. I have fond memories watching it with my dad. I was 8 when it started, my dad, who seemed ancient at the time, was 45. I can remember my dad saying that they all looked like a bunch of hippies and needed haircuts. To me now, they look like four clean cut young boys. Didn't Davy Jones pass recently?

And I am one of them, Hi flipper how are you, of course I am a conservative from Pennsylvania and not a liberal from the great liberal state of Connecticut and the great liberal university of Yale, which intellectually is way above us mere little peons commonly known as conservatives, so maybe you could explain the really funny part here. If you can? Please type slow so we can digest it and be able to understand it.

Bo

Bo,

I'm semi OK, such is the lot of a conservative from Connecticut.

This is not one of those times to expand your knowledge, you had to be there.

Have a nice day.

Yes of course, for another time flipper, but the posts were about the comment by RickInVa, you know "I don't always test my code. But when I do, I test it in production"

I do not get it, I do not think paul got it [cannot answer for paul], I thought you were going to explain it to us, I actually feel stupid I don't get it. I am not being a smart a**, or trying to start anything I just want to know what he meant, nothing sinister here trust me

bo don't stress it! I think the scenario is this:

- To understand the joke you need to be a geeky programmer.
- No "normal" person would understand that joke, hence Paul's comment.
- I am proud to say I do not understand it either and echo the monkeys comment - except I would upgrade to Piranha's.

* For the avoidance of doubt this is a light hearted response

Not an ounce of stress warspite its the most fun I have had here since the game came out, your up to 141 posts by the way and you said the forums were dead

Well I didn't write the post I wanted to write, as a result the thread - not unsurprisingly - went off tangent and now is home to computer geeks with their "jokes"

But hey! So what? At least the thread has people posting. Would be good now to have an update from Erik on an outline of plans for the remainder of 2015. Getting one or two optionals and the single map campaigns would perhaps spark further interest.

Please warspite no Hijacking the posts to get back to reality like having Erik give us that kind of information. Besides isn't 9:15PM in the British Empire and your up a little late for all this banter.

Bo

Actually its 20:19 and no, the sun never sets on the British Empire

Hehe, good one Ronnie, good lord they look young, what year did they come into the picture and are they all still alive?

Bo

Bo, Thanks. That picture is from 1966. It may have been a promo for their TV series that ran from 1966 to 1968. I have fond memories watching it with my dad. I was 8 when it started, my dad, who seemed ancient at the time, was 45. I can remember my dad saying that they all looked like a bunch of hippies and needed haircuts. To me now, they look like four clean cut young boys. Didn't Davy Jones pass recently?

Yes the only British member of the band died three years ago sadly.

Wow warspite if I thought you were going to use military time I would have been more careful

It is 16:40 here in Philly and I thought we were five hours difference, my bad, Hmmm I think the British empire has shrunk a little since the days of Horatio Nelson, could be wrong though.
