I'm not clicking that.

The Good Rev,
Isn't clicking that.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

I clicked it and survived.
But then, I'm already dead anyway.
just like in a dream
you'll open your mouth to scream
and you won't make a sound

you can't believe your eyes
you can't believe your ears
you can't believe your friends
you can't believe you're here

Nothing.  It's just that I've been treading the more disreputable paths of the internet long enough to be wary of links in that context.

Wow.

I attended Clemson University's Summer Science Program when I was like 13, and took a programming course there.

It was their 'advanced' one for the teenagers.  So it was in VB.  This was before I was shown the Light that is C and OOP.

My teacher there, I forget his name, was like 70, still doing Computer Sci.  He had worked on ENIAC as a programmer.  We talked alot.

C???  Boy, are YOU spoiled.  The best I had was 8081..."WILL NOT COMPILE"  :x

Other than that, it was straight binary...all we had were 1's and 0's, and sometimes we didn't have any 1's.

You had ones?  We had the letter 'L', but only in lowercase.  Sometimes we didn't even have that.  I once wrote an entire database program using '\0'.

Binary huh? Bleeding luxury! Why when I was a boy we had to manipluate voltages manually, with our tongues, because we were all out of vaccum tubes, and if we got our fingers caught in the cogs they just sawed our digits off with a rusty spoon and made us reconfigure the machine from scratch with our bleeding stumps.

You had cogs?!

We had to glue triangular prisms onto rectangular prisims!  Sometimes we didn't even have triangular prisms!  I once made a cog out of my head and Josh's finger bones.

Yeah, but our binary was done with small stones.  We had one of the other cave men eat the stones, to complie the program.

Unfortunately, most of our programs were along the lines of "let's make Oog strain to take a dump."

Good times.
