Now consider the existence of an enemy whose goal is to do all internals 100% destruction. Survival is a non-goal; not dying has almost been defined as the most grievous sin. And I'm not talking about just Islam.

An add was an ADD so that people could get work done. You are confusing compatibility with common knowledge. ADD is not being compatible with IBM but being compatible with first grade arithmetic.

I never understood what an Endian was. Don't spend time trying to train me; I'm not sure I can do it.

Are you talking about DDT? The reason interactive debugging was so efficient was because you didn't have to remember all the teensy details long term. Interactive debugging was more efficient because the details that needed only short term memory energies didn't have to be stored in long term memory.

It's like having to store the number of bits the instruction is to shift on magtape in the off-site storage bin located at the North Pole.

I think people should always start out working with dogs before hopping a jet.

That is the normal way of doing things within that culture. The goal is to create labor, not create things with the least amount of expenditures. This is socialism; these results are the only way to keep that kind of economy running. In reality, it is anti-social because human instinct, which based on Nature, is do things with the most efficiency; I suppose that's why "social" was put into the word.

I know a little bit about this. JMF came from New Mexico Tech.

We are but it's hit and miss at the moment. The underlying goal of a certain political party is wipe out all seed corn and ensure that no stray "weeds" take root.

It's not. I suspect this might be a two-hundred year war.

We have one example of a leader who is proactive. It has become a sin to even think this way.

Gossip doesn't go faster than light. What happens with gossip is that the density of encoded information is extremely high. So a single transmission communicates enough data so that conclusions can be made without the slew of data needed to present this on paper using formal logic rules.

Most of it is already documented in this newsgroup. It's just not in acceptable insbreastutional format.

You're thinking with capitalistic thoughts. The goal is poverty as we define it. When everybody shares equally, all are poor.

This was a case of the scientists doing their jobs even though the Party's edict was contradict physical laws. Now, think about that. The real workers had to spend at least half their time playing politics and butt kissing. Just think what they might have done if they could have been left alone to play.

From the little I've read, this is how the site managers got stuff done. If you get as isolated as possible, interference from higherups takes longer to get their and can be contained. I don't know..it's my current hypothesis about how those people managed to get done what they did.

I don't understand your point. All political leaders have to deal with food matters.

Help has a bad connotation to the word; it invariably implies charity which is the 100% wrong thing to do.

Note your use of the word "front". YOu are thinking in European conventional fighting. (I say European because that's where certain rules of engagement were developed.)

Those are small problems. There are bigger ones to deal with.
