46 Quizmaster:I've been told that I blew that last puzzle (the fly) and I'd like clarification on a point. In your

47 puzzle you stated that the cars were moving at a constant speed of 60 mph. Do you mean that that is the TOTAL speed
|
|
48 or the speed of each car? (i.e., do you mean 60 or 120 mph?) I took your wording to mean 60 mph total- but if not,

49 then the poor fly flew two miles, not four.

93 To the adventurers in the elecTRONic world, I missed part of a disk. The last

94 I remember, ninja had a choke hold on Dream Toucher. Now I see that Ninja

95 is with the party, but not in the best of conditions... I see that the rise

96 in both temperature and winds in our little world also seems to be going
|
|
97 unchecked and ignored. There is another PC&S meeting coming up in a week,

98 but can we last that long without guidance???

103 Aaron: I checked some sources, and sure enough, you seem to have 'some'

104 knowledge on alaising. I must admit, you were correct. BUT...for someone
|

105 to not know what a window/viewport is, and then try to cover up their
|
|
106 mistake by calling it some crazy form of hard/soft clipping...and then,
|
|
107 to top it off, bringing the commode(WC en france) 64 in to the conversation,
|
|
108 well that's enough to have you thrown out of SIGGRAPH (if you were a member
|
|
109 in the first place). Any word on the C source code yet??? Talked to MF&E...
|

110 you better get your thick hide out of storage, hint hint, say no more say no

111 more... That last animal we fried was the cause of your recent SLU failure.

|
|
137 So the story goes... Once long ago in the land of Mainframe, there
|
|
138 existed a little kingdom known as TSO. The kingdom of TSO was
|
|
139 happy. The people were productive, and their coffers were full.
|
|
140 One winter, a dark blight blew across the land. This blight was
|
|
141 in the form of resource robbers from a faraway land known to many
|
|
142 as COBOL. Everyone in TSO, who were rather laid back anyway,
|
|
143 seemed to become lazy and slow. No one could explain the slowdown
|
|
144 except for frequent remarks about robbers from COBOL. Eventually,
|
|
145 all the people of TSO moved away to other kingdoms, since TSO
|
|
146 was in decay, and no one liked this feeling of laziness. Finally,
|
|
147 TSO was empty, and it eventually crumpled up and blew away with
|
|
148 the winds of COBOL. Most of the people went to another land,
|
|
149 known as GCOS. In GCOS, there exists a kingdom called TSS. It is
|
|
150 TSS where most of the people from TSO ended up. They all hoped
|
|
151 and prayed things would be better in TSS. And at first, things
|
|
152 were. But as more and more people arrived at TSS, things began
|
|
153 to again change for the worse. This time there was no influence
|
|
154 from COBOL to blame, and it is at this point we end our little
|
|
155 story...

299 -> Milchar: the cars are each travelling at 60 mph. That problem certainly
|
|
300 generated more lines than usual. (at least, the fly did).
|
|
301 Also, YOU may pronounce it "mill-ch{urch}ar', but everyone else
|
|
302 pronounces it 'mill-kar'. Since you are in the minority, I guess YOU
|
|
303 will have to change. (!)
|
|
304 -> pheric: nothing of consequence has been happening lately. Backwater seems
|
|
305 to be going through one of its dry times. And the PorSFiS/PC&S
|
|
306 "lets plot the fate of the world" meeting is still a week away!
|
|
307 -> Lazy One: your message re: Callahans and Four Eye seems to be a general
|
|
308 message. I must admit, though, to being totally lost as to the meaning
|
|
309 of the reference (and those related ones between you and the bard).
|
|
310 -> bard: I attempted to call you this evening, but my translation of your
|
|
311 current phone number seems to have been faulty. Using your house number
|
|
312 followed by the street number, and applying the NETWORK method, the
|
|
313 number I have for you translates as 469-4357. Could you supply me with the
|
|
314 correct version? Also, what are your current hours (and for how long?)
|

|
|
379 Morning sun shines brightly through the shading trees, and I awaken
|
|
380 slowly as if from drugged sleep. The forest is so beautiful, expecially
|
|
381 this time of day, and all seems so right here in its midst. I sit up and
|
|
382 stretch, shaking off the dew that has collected upon my cloak and the
|
|
383 leaves that are in my hair. Ah, a marvelous morning, lovely, delightful!
|
|
384
|
|
385 Suddenly, I remember the events at the Inn, my uncharacteristic
|
|
386 reaction to them, the flight into the forest....
|
|
387
|
|
388 "Bharnae! Where are you?" I call. There is no response, so I stand
|
|
389 and begin to search the glen. "Bharnae? Mhoarg nliea chlosinae?", I ask,
|
|
390 shifting to Gaelic. I can feel his presence, or the presence of others of
|
|
391 his kind, but I am left without an answer. Is he purposely ignoring me, or
|
|
392 is he.....
|
|
393
|
|
394 "Yes?" he says calmly, appearing before me while hanging from a tree
|
|
395 limb by his legs. I do an involuntary immitation of a grasshopper, stumble
|
|
396 backwards, and land in a most ackward position. "Ah, I can see you are
|
|
397 still the graceful, surefooted girl I remember so fondly. Tell me
|
|
398 Barishnikov, why'd you make a fool of yourself at the Inn?"
|
|
399
|
|
400 "I'm not a girl! Surely I've been around long enough to be considered
|
|
401 an adult!" I respond peevishly.
|
|
402
|
|
403 "Any mortal female short enough for me to look down at is a girl. And
|
|
404 do you really think that your behavior at the Inn qualifies you for status
|
|
405 as an adult?" Bharnae says, dropping to the ground with unhuman grace.
|
|
406 "Besides, you're ignoring the question. What's the scoop, sweetie? Full
|
|
407 moon gettin' to ya? On th' rag?"
|
|
408
|
|
409 My initial irritation fades away, and I sit down on the soft grass
|
|
410 facing him. "I know I should have reacted better at the Inn! I normally
|
|
411 am so good at turning aside such behavior with humor or reason. I didn't
|
|
412 mean to offend anyone. Oh, I hope Aaron wasn't offended!"
|
|
413
|
|
414 "Probably was, but it's good to see that you already recognize that
|
|
415 your behavior was childish. You just can't run away, it doesn't work."
|
|
416 Bharnae sits across from me on the stump. "And weren't there some you
|
|
417 wanted to talk to there?"
|
|
418
|
|
419 "Yes, I wanted Lord Morby to know that borders are free for any to
|
|
420 use, and that he *will* be missed. I wanted to stop at the bar and speak
|
|
421 to my friend the Innkeeper. I wanted to sit at the Apprentice's table, buy
|
|
422 him a single malt, and perhaps give his beard a tug!" I stand and begin to
|
|
423 pace. "So much has happened in my absence, so many new faces, so many
|
|
424 adventures to hear. I guess I should go back right now." I spin around
|
|
425 and grab Bharnae's hand. "Will you come with me? I need your support!"
|
|
426
|
|
427 "I'm not Harvey, and you certainly aren't Jimmy Stewart," he says, "I
|
|
428 just don't work that way. Besides, don't you have a little mess to clean
|
|
429 up at your home? You've let it sit long enough, in my opinion."
|
|
430
|
|
431 "You're right," I sigh, my shoulders sagging, "I'll get around to that
|
|
432 soon enough. But I must go to the Inn first, I must see my friends, it may
|
|
433 be...." I stop, brush myself off, and turn in the direction of the Inn.
|
|
434 "See you soon, my good friend."
|
|
435
|
|
436 "So take it easy, kid. You know where to find me if you need to" he
|
|
437 says, and fades into the green. Ah, Bharnae, I hope to see you again soon
|
|
438 as well. I loosen my cloak, for the day is turning warm, and begin the
|
|
439 slow trek back to the less forested areas.

|
|
482 It has been a long and restless night. As the sun begins to peek through my
|
|
483 window, I find myself looking at the ceiling and wondering what happened.
|
|
484 This sense of loss I feel that leaves me so listlest is quite
|
|
485 uncharacteristic. If only I had been able to speek to Pam before she ran
|
|
486 off. Perhaps I could have allaied her fears. But, alas, I was only intime
|
|
487 to see her rush out the door. Downstairs in the Inn I hear the rustle of
|
|
488 early morning vistitors, but it does not draw my interest, for I am too
|
|
489 despondant to even go look and see who is there. Instead I roll over and
|
|
490 pulling the covers about me, try to find even a moment of elusive sleep.
|
|
491
|
|
492 It is late! I find that indeed I have managed to sleep a bit, but my
|
|
493 sadness remains. Perhaps if Pam returns I can offer her a frothing warm
|
|
494 mug of ale on the house and persuade her to tell me of her travels. Maybe
|
|
495 even have my cook fix up a nice big juicy steak for I'm sure she must be
|
|
496 hungry after so much travel. But, first I must wait for her to return to
|
|
497 the Inn, as I am sure she will... Now why did I think that? I no reason to
|
|
498 believe that she will return, and yet I know she will. With that thought,
|
|
499 I find some ease, and raise out of my cot to prepare myself for the days
|
|
500 work. It's strange how ones life can be so affected by someone elses.

522 Quizmaster: if the 5th digit is an 8 you have the correct number! I am not home

529 "Wait a sec! If we're only .06 scale inches tall... then we're inside the
|
|
530 boundary layer!"
|
|
531 The others stared at Bard as he opened a panel on the side of the console
|
|
532 and peered at DIP switches. He finally pressed on with a pencil and closed the
|
|
533 panel. Suddenly the air seemed thicker and the wind died to a gentle breeze.
|
|
534 "Adjusted the compensation factor... " was all they could understand
|
|
535 of his explanation.
|
|
536 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
537 Ok, look, if we're .06 tall then we're inside the boundary layer for the airflow
|
|
538 over the surface. Of course, we couldn't breath too well if we were "really"
|
|
539 that small because the viscosity of the air would be getting to us. So my gear
|
|
540 had to be compensating for the scale difference... Unfortunately, that screwed
|
|
541 up the airflow so that we got the wind. After an adjustment we only have a
|
|
542 breeze, but the air is rather thick! I suggest a QUICK retreat. ....
|
|
543 OH NO! Now I HAVE to get us out! Piper's pipes won't work in this air!!!
|
|
544 Somebody run those cables parallel to those power traces, quick!
