Question

What kind of frames to you guys get here? I sometimes get 60fps, but then when all those RASCAR posts come floating in, my frames drop to below 30. I'm thinking of starting a petition to keep the frames here at 25. What does everyone think? Am I wasting my time? Alanb

I'll sign any petition, me. If someone have gone to the trouble of organizing one, then the least I can do is sign it. :) -- Gerry Aitken ...and a friend shall lose a friend's hammer -- Book of Cyril, chapter 6, verse 16

Well, I know what the 42 is for, but 7x7 is 49 which is not the answer to everything. :) However, it seems that I may have missed the intent of the 7x7 reference. Have pity on me and explain yourself. :)

...and I thought your answer to everything usually is a string of randomly chosen four-letter words? ;-) <bg,d&r> Achim "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... ... > Well, I know what the 42 is for, but 7x7 is 49 which is not the > answer to everything. :)...

Some time ago a group of hyper-intelligent pan dimensional beings decided to finally answer the great question of Life, The Universe and Everything. To this end they built an incredibly powerful computer, Deep Thought. After the great computer programme had run (a very quick seven and a half million years) the answer was announced. The Ultimate answer to Life, the Universe and Everything is... (You're not going to like it...) Is... 42 Which suggests that what you really need to know is 'What was the Question?'. The great computer kindly pointed out that what the problem really was that no-one knew the question. Accordingly, the computer designed its successor, the Earth, to find the question to the ultimate answer. However, due to a slight Golgafrincham problem, and a small hooha with some Vogons the program went a bit wrong. The whole problem remains just as mysterious as it always has been, but a little more frustrating. So now you know... Cheers Tony --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

The composition of my answers is NEVER randomly chosen. Sometimes, they may be *poorly* chosen (depending on who you ask), but they are NEVER random. :)

Like I said, I know about 42. What I *don't* understand is the "7x7" part of your original response. Did you mean to type "7x6" (which is "42"), or is there some nefarious and as yet hidden meaning to "7x7"?

Did you mean to type "7x6" (which is > "42"), or is there some nefarious and as yet hidden meaning to "7x7"? Yes but what is the question to which the answer is 42?... Remember that in discovering the question to the ultimate answer "due to a slight Golgafrincham problem, and a small hooha with some Vogons the program went a bit wrong" My immediate recollection of the question (from the Hitchikers Guide for those still wondering what the hell this is about) was 7x7. But on further thought I think it may have been 9x6 - don't say 54 John :) Anyway the important thing was that the computation of the ultimate question didn't make 42 !! There are many theories about why Douglas Adams chose 42 (e.g. 42 is 9x6 in base 13) but D.A. simply chose it as a "nice" number. Glad you asked, John?

It's been YEARS since I read that book, so the only applicable answer I can come up with is "aaaahhhhhh". I know - not as colorful as usual, but it's the best I can do right now. :)

Ok, then it's 'an artfully composed string' :) Achim "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... ... > The composition of my answers is NEVER randomly chosen. Sometimes, > they may be *poorly* chosen (depending on who you ask), but they are > NEVER random. > > :)

You mean 6x9? Jason

I was an adding a degree of mystique - but the 6x9 would have been subtle enough in hindsight :) Cheers Tony --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

It was fine when they included RASCAR in the subject so I could filter out their crap, but now they just post whatever to vent their moronic ramblings I cant lock on anything decent to filter out their drivel... -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash "Alan Bernardo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:kZU3b.225577$cF.74410@rwcrnsc53... > What kind of frames to you guys get here?

Just the response I expected from a dimwit like you.

I don't know how I'll ever be able to go on. What's your sierra ID again? I don't remember a "biz" in the league. Maybe you were just tired of being a back-marker.
