In most cases requiring a great deal of technical skill. Arty fartyness is for the movies. Anyway, back to computing. Let me give you an example of why your simplistic view is once again complete bollocks. Let's take encryption, because it's such an obvious example of why being a coder isn't "easy" and doesn't "just mean you spent enough time to learn the language" You can't seriously believe you can code encryption without some knowledge of the subject. Perhaps you do. Life is complex bumhole. Why you keep proposing otherwise is beyond me. -- zakAT(a)pooh.the.cat - Sergeant Tech-Com, DN38416. Assigned to protect you.

Anyway, there's a way to prove it. I'll send you an email. Ha! na only kidding. The IP address thingy. Is there any point me asking? Anyways, I think ML should challenge you to put something on your web site. That'll sort it. FWIW, I think you're the same Bottom, and that your posts are as childish and trollish as they ever were... -- zakAT(a)pooh.the.cat - Sergeant Tech-Com, DN38416. Assigned to protect you.

There's something a little different, something I can't quite put my finger on. But it's BB, alright. I suspect it's just the result of a change in medication. -- Mark Warner MEPIS Linux Registered Linux User #415318 ....lose .inhibitions when replying
