If you haven't tried it, google "let it snow" and check out the Easter egg
I like that.

Note to self: Read your post 3 times if Gus (qualified LOL & ROFL :smooooth:) is in the loop.That still won't cover all of the bases. You could try getting inside his head, but that won't work either:-D
If any of guys have interest in psychology (well I do have), the psychologist use ink blot cards (Rorschach test) to read the minds. The one sees in the blot what he wants to see.
It explains Gus’s response. 😉

Even better if it would snow outside now. Here's to hoping and let's see how much power google really has.

Maybe I need to add to my sig:
"You have the right to have a lawyer, editor, and proofreader present while writing, but anything you write will still be used against you in the mind of Gus."
(For the "furiners" here, you can either look up "Miranda Rights", or just assume I'm doing something weird. Either is valid.)

"Assume" requires a level of conscious thinking and intent that most of us don't want to engage in. Besides, who needs to assume your weirdness when we already know it.
Knowledge, once gained, requires no effort to maintain. Unlike assumptions. @=)

Anybody else notice that the Headline article today has the "Editorial" pic? Is it an editorial or an article?:-D:-D

It's an artitorial (similar to an artichoke, but not as tasty)

can we wrap the artichoke in bacon and serve with a side of pork chop and applesauce?

I'm absolutely certain you're physically capable of doing that, yes.

Those of you who have been talking about the first machines you used in the industry, what was it that got you to that point in the first place? Engineering degrees? Being the only one in the workplace willing to learn?
I did a couple of maths degrees, and Handel Davies got me a placement at RHEL as a graduate assistant for a few weeks in the summer after the first one (he wanted to give me experience of using applied maths for real because he reckoned I was too pure maths oriented) and that was my first serious contact with computers (I'd had some contact with spaghetti-board tabulators in vacation jobs before that, but not with real computers). For my second degree I did research on the semantics of infinitary languages (and played with the university's computers in my spare time) and the word "semantics" in there made people at English Electric think I might be useful at research on computer languages, so they offered me a job to work mostly on computer languages. After 18 months at EE I went to university to lecture on programming and do computing research, and after that I was pretty well labelled computer scientist rather than mathematician, so a couple of years later I took professional exams for computing, and I've been in computing ever since. I sometimes wonder if I made the wrong decision when I accepted EE's job offer in computing instead of taking up one of numerous offers of jobs as a mathematician, but it has allowed me to learn new things all my life and that probably means it was the right decision.

. . . Being too darn lazy perfrom the necessary calculations required for rocket engine design by using my slide rule. . . .Yes, we are the last crop of engineers who were taught slide rule calculations. I have not used since I left the school.
I learned to use a slide rule when I was in grade school. Wasn't required to, just wanted to.
I've heard of these newfangled "slide rule" things. Are they really as much better than clay tablets as the marketing hype keeps saying?
They're even better than the abacus!
An abacus is a more flexible tool than a slide rule.

I dunno, my abacus is made of wood and the slide rule is made of plastic. Neither one bends very much.
