You do not even know what my math editor does and are smart enough to talk about it anyway? Will you be my friend? i could learn so much....PWUAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAA!!!!!! It's all about the principle of least surprise, and diabolically tricky transformations of a syntax-heavy tree structure. Does HTML convey tree structure with superscripts? Oh, no. it doesn't. Gosh, what a diff that makes, eh? How about with a horizontal bar in fractions? No? Then what are you yapping about? Go do your homework. kt

Just look at his From header -- "His kennyness" -- he can't be serious. After a decade of Usenet experience now, I have had to realize that healthy mistrust (here: score automatically reduced by 1) is appropriate against anyone not posting under their real name on Usenet. Subtract another 1 for Web posters (like from Google Groups), and filter out the address mungers. There are exceptions, like RobG, but they are few and far between.

You have responded with yet more sneering. Did you actually want help or did you want an argument? Tim

You are funny. :-) Try this: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=richard+cornford Listen, his Kennyness, some free advice: Trying to insult Richard is probably not the best way to motivate him to help you out. Regards, Erwin Moller -- "There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." -- C.A.R. Hoare

You are funny. :-) Thx, that was indeed meant to a typically asinine and silly Usenet way of mocking the idea that I only have to test, say FireFox, on one OS to be sure it works on them all (or in this case to take a bug report on a browser on one OS and test on another -- sure, one can do that to see if it happens there, too, but if it does not then another round-trip will be necessary to determine the OS so one can reproduce. ie, of course I know nothing about the guy except that he does not know what should go into a good bug report, and good programmers tend to know that. Ever hear the expression "The most dangerous gun is one that is unloaded."? Richard knows the OS cannot have an effect on software running on the OS. I hope he does better than the guy I knew who proved the saying about the gun. I get a kick out of the tv medical mystery "House". They frequently ask themselves what they "know". kt > > Try this: > http://lmgtfy.com/?q=richard+cornford > > Listen, his Kennyness, some free advice: Trying to insult Richard is > probably not the best way to motivate him to help you out. > > Regards, > Erwin Moller > |
