Super-computing between Rotterdam and London

[Guest222]

Someone posted an enormously long piece, but unfortunately it was off topic, so it was a bit of a waste of time.

No worries. Had it saved, so I've sent it by PM. Nice to know that the mods will remove anything that doesn't suit their political agenda though so you can all remain kings of this ant farm.

You could have posted it as a new thread instead of hijacking this one. But that would go against your rather paranoid paradigm that there's a political agenda, and all mods are power-mad. Stay on topic in a thread and you're far less likely to have the thread closed or your pearls of wisdom removed.

And you're dull.

Got it. I'll have to put that one on my to do list to read though... It's a doozy.

EDIT : I got one message with an A4 of writing. Reading the thread it seems it might not be the same one that was directed at the mods though. That's a lot of writing.

P.S. The comparison of the best lager in the world to the only DAO in the world isn't a very good one. Best to Only are two very different things. It's like saying it's like Carlsberg is the best lager in the world and I'm the only knobhead on the forum.. Doesn't really work.

Phew, I was worried he might have sent it to me.

Are you going to save it in the same place as the secretary in this article: https://www.theregister.com/2019/10/11/on_call/

[WTFH]

Someone started posting on this thread and it went off topic.
Can I bring it back with a question... is my ZX Spectrum (48k) suitable for super-computing between Rotherham and London?
I'm trying to build an aunt farm, but Napoleon Solo isn't happy, and I need to make sure that Jet Set Willy waver will run on it.

The advantage of putting people on ignore is that you never see any PMs they send you.

Ant farm you flatter us , think Dung Beetle.

According to Turing, yes, but very very slowly. Why the Italian city thinks this, I don't know.

I would be rude of me to divulge that information.

From memory, dung beetles are amazing creatures. But they don't have access to see deleted posts, deleted threads, or edits that users do. Nor do they make silly claims after the fact about how "I knew you were going to do that".

But then again, I'm not a self-obsessed person who thinks the world revolves around their Mitty-esque life, who struggles to balance between obsession about how important a forum is to provide answers to every question, how bad a forum is since they started posting on it, and how all advice given on the forum is terrible when it doesn't make them feel important. It's almost straight out of a Trump/Musk playbook.
