Yes, but, if you watch The Mask 200 times, you get bored of it. It's
not that she's said it, it's that she's said it over and over and over,
and over, maybe once more for luck -- because you know people hated it
the first time, why not reiterate it a third and 90th time.

Why would it have to be Java to build Java? Why not C++ to build Java?
The point of a programming language is to learn to program it yourself
though?

It seems like he wants a WYSIWYG editor of sorts. Hence his response to

You're confusing me as it is, but, aren't Java and C/C++ based on the
same syntax? What doesn't go right? Do you forget your ;'s? Use
non-standard libraries and can't get it to compile right the first time? :P

The people who are against change feel it's against the "traditional
ambiance" of AlphaWorld. No one is forcing them to use them though.
And if someone does vandelize with the move commands (like they haven't
with other bugs in the browser) just get the GET on it.

Webrings are easy to make (especially the script), all you need is a
server with php or cgi to host the webring script.

Well of course you should clean them... but not everyone does them

If you're talking about transfer bandwidth (being the amount you can
transfer a month , not the actual speed of the line) it _is_ unlimited
to the point that you can supply power to it. Semantically, nothing can
be unlimited, but as long as there is always power to the connection you
can always have unlimited transfer.

My goodness. The reason it's charged on how much you transfer is
because that's how companies that supply these lines make their money.
If they didn't need or want to make money, there's really _no_ limit to
what you can actually transfer per month as long as there is power to
the connection.

Well yes, the physical capabilities of the line limit you from actually
transferring 2000 gb's per second... but I'm talking about a monthly
limit. There's no reason to impose something like "20 mb's per month
max on your account" when you really have no physical limit.

Maybe they want to use objects they're familiar with. It's like
offering free wood to someone, although it may not be cedar, you can
still use it for pretty much the same thing.

Oh, that was golden BB. "smartass reply's..." You could, also, learn
