| | #1773 | | Feeling amorous, she looked under the sheets and cried, "Oh, no, it's Microsoft!"
| | #1774 | | Fellow programmer, greetings! You are reading a letter which will bring you luck and good fortune. Just mail (or UUCP) ten copies of this letter to ten of your friends. Before you make the copies, send a chip or other bit of hardware, and 100 lines of 'C' code to the first person on the list given at the bottom of this letter. Then delete their name and add yours to the bottom of the list.
Don't break the chain! Make the copy within 48 hours. Gerald R. of San Diego failed to send out his ten copies and woke the next morning to find his job description changed to "COBOL programmer." Fred A. of New York sent out his ten copies and within a month had enough hardware and software to build a Cray dedicated to playing Zork. Martha H. of Chicago laughed at this letter and broke the chain. Shortly thereafter, a fire broke out in her terminal and she now spends her days writing documentation for IBM PC's.
Don't break the chain! Send out your ten copies today! For example, if thinmskip = 3mu, this makes thickmskip = 6mu. But if you also want to use skip12 for horizontal glue, whether in math mode or not, the amount of skipping will be in points (e.g., 6pt). The rule is that glue in math mode varies with the size only when it is an mskip; when moving between an mskip and ordinary skip, the conversion factor 1mu=1pt is always used. The meaning of 'mskipskip12' and 'baselineskip=thethickmskip' should be clear. -- Donald Knuth, TeX 82 -- Comparison with TeX80
| | #1775 | | Fly Windows NT: All the passengers carry their seats out onto the tarmac, placing the chairs in the outline of a plane. They all sit down, flap their arms and make jet swooshing sounds as if they are flying.
| | #1776 | | "For that matter, compare your pocket computer with the massive jobs of a thousand years ago. Why not, then, the last step of doing away with computers altogether?" -- Jehan Shuman
| | #1777 | | FORTH IF HONK THEN
| | #1778 | | FORTRAN is a good example of a language which is easier to parse using ad hoc techniques. -- D. Gries [What's good about it? Ed.]
| | #1779 | | FORTRAN is for pipe stress freaks and crystallography weenies.
| | #1780 | | FORTRAN is not a flower but a weed -- it is hardy, occasionally blooms, and grows in every computer. -- A.J. Perlis
