Just move the thread if you want, problem solved. lol. it's not about what I want. But I'm afraid there's a place for everything, so as much as I like to give Mark some space, and totally understand needing to cool down, this is still NC (at time of writing) and it really doesn't look like an NC topic or NC related posts. Of course, some light chatting isn't a problem, the panic thread is a perfect example for that, but if nothing in the thread suggests it belongs in NC, then a moderator is obliged to move it, and I still can put on the hat. I've been making ample use of my discretion so far, but thre's only so much you can get away with. I guess the next few posts will decide if this exchange is heading for the Cafe.

I seeded a number of number crunching, algorithmic, and scientific concepts through this thread. Good luck sifting through that without being called out as a butthead :D "Living by the wisdom of computer science doesn't sound so bad after all.

My thread, my mind. Now, let's all calm down. I am bedding for the night with my kitties. I suggest you all do the same. And ponder kitty thoughts. I leave you with this wonderful song by Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers. We all have given lives for our convictions, but let's not do it again, here and now. Please. Meow.

What about if I post nerdy optimisation videos here ? Is that OK ? You're playing every card, aren't you? Hope you're having fun. I am being considerate. Actually I am also being realistic (though definitely not realistic enough or I wouldn't be fighting a lost cause) and I know when it's time to move on. Jord made 10 years, but I think 5 is enough for me. Time to have a chat with Fred. Oh, it's been convenient to have access to the hat, sure enough, but moderatos shoud be able to post from the account that has the tag. That was always a drawback to this solution. Me, have all the answers? I'm not God. What about you? There are always choices and alway decisions to be made. And not doing anything is a course of action, too.

Sounds like you may have a few issues. They have people to talk to and tablets for that these days. "Living by the wisdom of computer science doesn't sound so bad after all. And unlike most advice, it's backed up by proofs." -- Algorithms to live by: The computer science of human decisions. |

Sounds like you may have a few issues. They have people to talk to and tablets for that these days. I have had issues since I chased my brother off of a bridge to his death on the railroad tracks below some 40 years ago. Please do not try to tell me I have issues. I have a ton of issues that I have not yet laid to rest. Ever see your brother in a pool of blood on a slab? I have. And if every or any body else does not see that as the root of my problems, kiss off. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Sure I have my own problems, as does everyone. Good to hear you're looking at ways to deal with your own. Can't suggest the right ways, But best of luck negotiating the cr@pfest things seem to be right now. "Living by the wisdom of computer science doesn't sound so bad after all.

One day, we can all join hands, as the song goes. And, I shall never find another you. Another You. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I must now go off to sleep with the couple of kitties I have left that love me dearly./ Only two left now. And they are 14 and aging. I have many things to be thankful in this life. Now, sleep would be one of those,. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Sounds like you may have a few issues. They have people to talk to and tablets for that these days. Actually, I think he meant me :D He's been telling me to get tablets for almost 6 years now ::) Sorry to hear that about your brother, Mark. However many years ago, some things we never forget. (even those of us not blessed [or cursed] with an eidetic memory) Sometimes you think it is quite impossible to go on. And you open the door to the roof, where it's 6 storeys high and only a light railing to prevent anyone falling off acidentally, but not enough to stop somebody jumping. And I sat in the open door, crying and crying (and I don't really remember why) I didn't want to go on, I couldn't bring myself to jump [in hindsight, can't have been really all that bad, since I never even approached the railing. being afraid of heights may or may not have played a part] and after some time I some how found the courage to go back inside and carry on. Some people are not that lucky. Luckily it only got that bad once more, when, standing on the train platform during a particularly trying time, the thought suddenly crossed my head that I just had to jump in front of the incoming train for a very final solution. Of course you do leave quite a mess for other people. But when you are there... Oh well. Maybe you have to have been on that brink to understand how tempting it is.

Just for a cooling off period.................. While your kittehs are cooling off you might find this helpful. To better optimize them for the warmer weather. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

Just for a cooling off period.................. Oooh, I think not. I get enough kitteh fur in my mouth every night when I sleep. And I do kiss my kitties...on the mouth. But not on their butts. That is their domain. Meowyech. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Just for a cooling off period.................. Soo many possibilities for innuendo, and they're only half way to their goal ? The world really does need an enema...

Hmm, I wonder how many scientific solutions arrived at in a bar or at a dinner table... ... a science forum using technology, maybe once in a while one should step back & realise one is human. |
