   I would say, "Amen" but I'm afraid of offending anyone.

   I don't know the answer to your specific question, but where is Christianity today COMPARED to 1500? Where is Islam today COMPARED to 1500? That is the real question in my mind, at least.

   Yep, if you do "OUT (C),r", C goes to A0-A7 and B goes to A8-A15. 16 bit addressing! I owned several TRS-80s (model I, III, IV), a Xerox 820 "Big Board", and a couple of Vector Graphics S-100 machines. All of them were

   Nice. I listen to Ozric Tentacles while coding. Psychedelic space rock with no lyrics. Start with something like Curious Corn or Erpland.

   The "Aviation Formulary" isn't really a tutorial, but it covers a ton of groovy GIS stuff in a way I haven't seen collected anywhere else, with worked examples. http://williams.best.vwh.net/avform.htm A

   Pretty much the same thing others are saying. I've been married 17 years to a beautiful woman and I'm very geeky. Carry on with your life, don't rush things. Smile and say hello at every opportunity. It'll happen.

    The last of the ALT drops did this (with Fred Haise as PIC, IIRC), as did STS-3 back in 1982 at White Sands. I'm not familiar with the STS-4 incident at all. Do you have any links?

    Not exactly. The computer worked as designed. If they hadn't left the docking radar on, it would not have had any 1201 or 1202 alarms. A bunch of big rocks is why Armstrong took over.

    Ozric Tentacles. Perfect psychedelic space rock jams with no lyrics. From Wikipedia: Ozric music is a highly psychedelic mixture of driving basslines, keyboard and intricate guitar work, with a sound influenced by Steve Hillage and Gong.

    In reality, the early weapons were not "single-point safe". That means that should a single one of those shaped charges be fired via static electricity, etc., that there would be at the least severe contamination and quite likely

    I have first-hand experience with a situation like this and can tell you this: Keep the code. Walk away. Learn from it. Don't look back.
