    I have a standardised set of tools for such situations.

    To me regular = metric.

     

    Are you talking about that old imperial measures, used by a single country in the world? :smileytongue:

    You talk about regularity, when it is obvious that base ten number system is a redundantly complex antiquated basis for any serious analytical purposes?

    There are 10 types of people in this world, the people that use binary and the computationally handicapped.

    ETA There are at least two countries where imperial measures rule, even if one of them can't even get the definition of a pint right!

  3. We are currently in an inter-regnum, a time of transition while LL transfers responsibility for Customer Service (that's principally Help, Forum Moderation and Anti-Spamming Counter Measures) to the newly formed NSA Knowledge Intervention Division - it's a young branch of the organisation dedicated to less-than-covert monitoring and control over global counter-cultural movements threatening the complacency of the "never had it so good" generation.

    During this time please observe the historic protocol and ******* restrict your ******* questions to the correct ******* forum - Answers - for ******* naive and even more ******* repetitive enquiries, especially if you are a longstanding ******* resident or born-again ******* n00b who should know ******* better. This is the ******* Second Life Viewer forum, where participants whinge about inadequacies of the standard viewer, complain about inconsistencies between versions, and demand reinstatement of "temporarily" lost facilities, not the arena for do-gooders with no ******* skills in social intercourse to demonstrate their ******* Ph Ds in cut-and-pasting.

    No, we don't assume you are stupid; we see clear evidence of it, on a continuing basis.

    It is not your misunderstanding that is the problem; it is your refusal to acknowledge the inadequacy of both your perception and your presentation of your thoughts.

    that does not make me a bad person.

    Refusing to do anything about your incompetence DOES make you a bad person; it insults everybody here when you refuse to use a spell-checker even, much less the grammar and style checker I have referenced for you.

    Maybe my Sintax Is incorrect

    That reminds me of what Winston Churchill said when asked by one of his constutuents what he was going to do about the Prostitution Bill: "I shall pay it!"

     

     

    But you don't have the first idea what I am talking about and how it relates to what you have written, do you?

    Don't you dare bring religion into this discussion or I'll tell you it is merely a crutch used for support by those crippled by a lack of self-belief and a willingness to assign responsibility for the evil of men to a higher power, even though this contradicts the universal love that fictitious character is supposed to bestow upon his unthinking acolytes.

    You keep playing the stupid card; at this point your only beneficial option IS the Silence. Stop posting.

  6. I have worked out why so many people spell and punctuate badly here, and torture grammar so that the content of their posts is less than comprehensible!

    It's so that the NSA's computers reject the communications as being human generated, and spend ridiculous amounts of computing power and time attempting (unavailingly, of course) to crack the encryption . . .

    Unless the recognition routines were written by ESL and semi-literate programmers (as most of them are, in my experience) and incorporate a degree of AI - that's Artificial Ignorance.

  7. I use inSSIDer by MetaGeek (free home version) which very simply (and graphically) shows you what wifi signals are impinging upon your network, and their strengths and channels used.

    It has helped me miniimise the trial and error process, but the main thing it has shown me is how badly wifi signals degrade!

    I'm sorry Steph - I'm an old statistician and I don't know how to make statistical analysis easily understood -


    I'm an old **** too, but I know how to make statistics easily comprehensible. For instance, if you want a one in three chance of living forever, always sleep on the floor, because two out of three people die in bed.

    Also, to improve your chances of avoiding traffic accidents tenfold, get drunk before you ever get in a car, because 90% of crashes involve only sober drivers.

     the ed was a separate word.

    That reminds me of a riddle: What do you call a man with a wooden head? Edward.

    And the kicker - what do you call a man with THREE wooden heads? Edward Woodward.

    [Edward Woodward was a really impressive actor at about the time this riddle was current. My Dad insists he was in  the RAF with him, but at the time he was actually in RADA; Woodward, that is, not my Dad - although they might have played football against each other, as both were good soccer players, until Woodward suffered a knee injury, and my Dad was handicapped even more, by getting married.]

    This is to rich.

    I don't think anybody called Rich, or Richard, or Richie, or even **** has posted here, although you may have a trapdoor into the NSA lookup table of avatar's real life names, of course.

    ETA: Unless of course it's a typo, and you're inviting us to RIC you . . .
