At the root of everything lies language. The battle between Languages spans races, religions, nations, cultures....
English is an imperialistic language, driving into every corner of the world. This is not necessarily bad except for two major factors :
1) The insistence that only English be used. A second language should be learned. I learned Latin and have found it useful.
2) The **** English language dictionaries are BACKWARDS. You should have noticed that by now from the hints I have given.

I know that I have hit a REALLY big nail on the head because a red hot vise clamped down. But I can take that too and gain from the experience.....

I now point out the combats between fantasy and reality, between order and chaos, between the scientific method and superstition. I like them ALL! I do not discriminate. If you want to do things as I do then be flexible.....

I am just posting what comes to mind.
Here is the latest installment.

Dry Reading Indeedy
So Many And So Needy
I Got Lost At Se*
On Page Fifty Three

I Strike A Happy Medium
To Help Relieve The Tedium
There Is Nothing So Boring
As Endless Childish Whoring

I Lie Like A Dog
With Cunning Wit
Ann Frankly Starlit
I Dont Give A *it

Its A Fine And Private Place
Full Of Arsenic And Old Lace
I May Stop Beating Sacred Cows
If You Will Enact All The Nows

The Muse I Use Refuses To Choose
If You Will Turn Over A New Leaf
Then You Will Find Its Beyond Belief

* Before *

The Hammers Are Getting Bigger!
Check the story behind Beethoven's IV Symphony.......

There are many variations on this theme. I use 'C' language structures here. I use [n] to indicate an array. The size for any particular "n" depends on the span of the set.

struct node
{
lea_node struct leaf*;
twi_node struct twig*;
bra_node struct branch*;
tru_node struct trunk*;
}

struct link
{
traffic_cur int;/* number of packets sent during current time cycle */
traffic_pre int[n];/* number of packets sent during previous time cycles */
tra_index int;/* index to traffic_pre */
bandwidth int;/* load factor allocation */
timestamp long;/* time at which counter traffic_cur began to run */
}
Note : A history buffer is used to avoid thrashing caused by transient traffic spikes

struct trunk
{
tru_trunk struct trunk*;/* pointer to next processor partition */
capacity int;/* Processor instruction execution ability in current partition */
utilization int;/* useful operations performed during current time cycle */
running_total int;/* total utilization during Last n cycles */
timestamp long;/* time at which counter utilization began to run */
branches struct branch *[n];
links struct link [n];
}
Note : new running_total = utilization + running_total * (n-1)/n.

struct branch
{
twigs struct twig * [n];
links struct link [n];
}

struct twig
{
leaves struct leaf * [n];
links struct link [n];
}

struct leaf
{
linkup struct node * [n];
links struct link [n];
}

If someone else is already doing this, then PROVE it by pointing to a history.

In any case, this is the Last "that" you get for free...

The Sky Is Falling! The Sky Is Falling!
Chicken Little

Sleep is a sure sign of fatigue.
I do sleep and I do dream.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
Exertion is its own reward.
Who has time for fatigue when exerting.
I am a civilian. I do not wear fatigues.

You need longer than a couple of days to write an interesting story.

That "dummies" really hit home didn't it...
It is far easier for the intelligent to pretend stupidity than for the stupid to mimic intelligence.

Stop acting like humans and become human beings instead. Alternatively take off your masks and start grinning like Cheshire Cats.

LOL LOL LOL
Okay, given the choice of losing the computer entirely or facing the truth, then I propose a compromise. I will grin like a Cheshire Cat and be the Alien this time around. You can be the humans up against a reversed polarity entity that avoids nothing. I have a fundamental complaint to lay before you. I need a compatible Alias.

Is That Clear ?

P.S. The Situation where I am is better already...
