I asked if Fortran was a dead language on a different thread. It's been so many years. Just aman

Well, Howdy blike, sir. Pleased to meet you. And your right about the lady avatar. Don't do that. Just aman

Well, I can't see through doggone screen who I was talking too. Maybe I'm just a romantic but the way you and blike squabble about MD or DO it reminded me of my wife and me. Maybe that isn't so romantic. Boy, am I embarrased. Nevermind. Time this old man takes a nap. See ya. Just aman

Practical chemistry is only as good as the tools you have. If you have crappy equipment and sloppy procedures you wind up with crappy results. Pick your partner well and follow the procedures and clean and calibrate your scales. The rest is a piece of cake. Just aman

God, I hate it when that happens. :rolleyes: :ripped: Fafalone, I thought you and blike had a thing going. EXXXXCcuuuuuuuuse Me. Just aman

In my classes I used a slide rule if any of you know what those antiques were. Then you had to understand the math before you could use it. It assisted you but you had to know what it was calculating. Still I'm glad our understanding was so simple then and not the advanced stuff you guys have. I just sit back and watch what you discover now and read your explanations. Just aman

Makes sense to me.

Fafalon does a great job. I toast his work. You haven't met blike yet. She's a genius with tons of info on anything. And then there's me too. I'm just a cranky old mosquito buzzing around, and I'm gonna reach 1000 posts before Faf. :-p Just aman:banme:

I think your explanation was well done Fafalone. I hope he doesn't start at Gregs home because he is very prolific.:scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :loser: Good luck Greg. just aman

Glad to have you and you can read some of Zarkovs old posts on the past forum, decide for youself. :flame: I found some of it real amusing. That stuff just happens on a site. Good luck at your house. Just aman

It's better than being a venereal disease. I hear in the mermaid and mermen community that moby dick is going around. Wear protection when you swim. Just aman:banme:

I hope God blessed you with a hi IQ. It really helps to be able to remember things that aren't of the greatest interest but valuable to store. Some people breeze and some people work. Good luck Just pay attention. And don't sleep in class.:zzz: Just aman

Thanks for the invite. Maybe some of the young geniuses here could jump in. It's a good thing Zarkov can't see your post but that's another story. It's great to see questioning minds in action. How'd you find out about this place? And nice to meet you. Just aman:cool2:

Sorry I didn't mention it was in '72 I was in college. Stuff changes so I can't answer your question. Good luck from a wise old fart. Just aman

Just listen real close and ask questions. Don't let a teacher explain something that you don't understand go by you. Ask questions until it becomes clear. It's only hard if you let stuff go by you and then play catch up all year. It's a piece of cake. For my engineering degree I had to take Calc I, II, III, and IV, and then Math Analysis. Physics math was the hardest for me. Just pay attention Good luck. Just aman

Thanks blike, My ticker is bad and I have a "Reveal II" loop recorder in my chest. It records bad spells of arythmia. I'd rather not get a pacemaker in the future but it looks like I may not be able to wait. Technology just ain't fast enough for some of us old farts. My Dad road a bus to a dentist in the '40s and had his tonsils removed. Then he took the bus back home. We have come a long ways. Just aman

Happy Halloween again. Halloween Just aman:embarass: :embarass:

Yah, I just opened a beer so here's to being half an old fart. And also happy Halloween to everybody, a little early. Halloween Just aman

It has sound reasoning behind it and wouldn't be suprised if a probe would bring back something that could thrive in one of the Earth enviroments alongside other hot sulfer pool life that formed here. It would prove that the universe has a pressure to evolve life where there is energy and materials. Just aman

Do you think that has something to do with Irish people being able to drink you under the table. I remember an early Star Trek where Scotty drinks with, (I think it was a Romulan) until the guy passed out. Then Scotty went about his business. I guess in the sixties they already new about redheads. What scares me is the paralysis drug they use so if your not fully under you can't tell them to crank it up. I wan't to be totally out if they cut me open. Just aman

Thanks Syntax. We used it a lot in engineering for the military contracts back in the late '70s. Simple requirements then. We started using C about '86 and C+ by '88 and then the defense market whent to hell. About 25,000 engineer layoffs in two years. That's why I moved to Nebraska. Jobs. Just aman

Sub-atomic, carbon based, plant life, nerd. I,m guessing again. The first four letters of Zarkovs periodic table. Sydrogen, celium, pithium, and neryllium. Your four stages of puberty from 10 to 13. Names you we called your first four days of high school. :loser: Sweet things your darling whispers in your ear. :flame: Am I getting closer? I like this game Just aman:banme:

I studied Fortran in college back in 72 since it was the engineers language. Is it a dead language now? Does anybody still use it? I guess I'm older than I thought. Just aman

Anybody new want to stop in and say howdy. Browse and learn about the rest of us. And by the way, howdy to new member Zeo. Just aman

I've got a lot of documentation too. It's on toilet paper and is worth the same as what I've seen. I agree with Fafalone on the grainy pictures which show round shapes. Could be a cross section of some plant. Where's the analytical data. I think it's just a bunch of crap. Just aman
