    Well, God, if you've gone and signed for a rate per "professional day" then you've just got to hang around until it's done.

    Someone brought out a FORTH processor back in the 80s, wonder what happened to it... (need we ask?).
    Yes, there was also the Novix 4016 of which I have several, one built into in a cigar box LCD touch screen etc. 20 mips, which was a blazing performance at the time.

    It sold really well, and still does.

    The thing about these FORTH processors made using FPGAs was that they are, for obscure reasons, extremely rad-hard and marvelous for image processing. For the officianados in the congregation that may tell you where they are used.

    Ah, when I were a lad, Real Men printed out the designs of microprocessors on plotters at a scale so large that you needed an aircraft hangar to work on it... mind you there were less than 10k transistors on a chip back then

    Oi ZG, I'm working on the Altera Cyclone II - you can stuff your PICs!

    He then assembled the Universe, installed Earth and spun it up, and spent the next six Earth-days going round doing a ceremonial opening of each feature, like cutting ribbons at new supermarkets, that kind of thing.

    I could be wrong though.

    Its been a long time. My reverse polish has suffered due to age and alcohol intake.

    Smash

    I did see someone feed five people on a small packet of instant smash so the loaves and fishes story could be true

    how about Darwin

    Think theory of evolution seems to have a better gut feeling as being the real reason behind our existance.

    Bible says God made the world in seven days but dosent go into any detail as to how he did this , was expecting at least a section on the formation of the rockies , or how the grand canyon was built. Not a hint of why or how he did all this , could have had a section on the reasons behind the Darleks as well

    I can never understand what that god of your is talking about half the time. If he's so great why can't he speak plain English?
