LOL suricat dont point out my embarrassment

I can code in C but BB is proving rather more of a challenge[whisper=suricat]don't tell TS![/whisper]

muf.

Shtum

mufcdiver.

Something else I've noticed! Although I only posted into 'another' thread less than two and a half hours ago, it is no longer a thread with 'new content'! This must be a misrepresentation! Perhaps their computers are 'broke'.

Best regards, suricat.

C? Pah! Real programmers do it in machine code, and there's always Assembler for the wimps

Seriously, what is hard about the formatting codes here? You can see what they are by using the tool bar in the Reply/Quote window here.

I've already explained this in my first post to this thread. All you need do is go back and read that... otherwise I'll just be repeating myself.

The pattern is that very two or three generations groups form to have a pogrom against human nature. Each time a new 'theme' is chosen - which disguises the pattern and gives the 'new' crusade an air of pseudo-authenticity.

Of course no member of such a group is consciously aware that they are simply repeating history. The AGW group (for example) is certainly not thinking "this time we will succeed where the Nazis failed", but the underlying impulse is identical - to outlaw human nature. It can be easily observed that such groups always appropriate and pervert religious or scientific thinking to form (and claim an 'authority' to) their dogma of austerity. Their idealised 'futures' are always the fantasised 'past' they have lost to development.

So, if newness causes insecurity, we can be secure in knowing 'AGW' is nothing more that a repeat of history - in new clothes.

Well, not really R58, you were talking about bugs, and not about why you feel as smug as one...

Ah, yes, the human desire to find patterns. You do that one well by defining AGW as just another fad...

Nor those finding new patterns in human nature (HN)...

That is a tricky conundrum - could that be why they have failed in the past?

Are you describing yourself here?

So I suppose the answer to my question is that you feel secure because of my presumed insecurity. With regard to the Emperor and his New Clothes, we'll just have to see, won't we!

Doh! you spotted it I was trying to do some long hand coding in BBcode, some worked some didn't. Lucky I wasn't using assembler my biscuit tin might be thinking it was a toaster right about now(joke?)

FRENCH CORPORATISM: You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows.

JAPANESE CORPORATISM: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'cowkimon' and market it worldwide.
