h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

oooh, someone who got the point. I use // since its the comment char in some programming languages (Java, c++, povray) and since it was used in 3001 to separate the parts of a persons ident. I also use it instead of asterisks for stage directions.

I was all started by d'E who uses /* */ for actions which are the c comment chars, so I thought I'd copy him.

10 Print "Hello"

*sits on his keyboard violently to show how skilled he is at programming*

You obviously have never used TECO (the editor from hell) (I haven't either but I've heard tales), where any possible key sequence actually does something. My guess is this would print the national anthem .

...when you have a dream that is not only about h2g2, but about the *smilies* on h2g2! really. i dreamt that they'd added a whole bunch more, very creative and interesting ones, which i can no longer remember what they looked like, and hadn't told us, i think it was a surprise or something or maybe i just hadn't found the forum. seriously, i remember going to the main smilies page and looking at them.

... when you're posting within 20 minutes of getting home from a meet!

...Alternatively, when you actually post FROM a meet!

...when you take your laptop to the meet with the specific intent of posting...

peace.

i envy you people...

Argon, I must ask... was "I" kept out of the men's room this time? And how much did 'bell decorate 'me'? And who won the name badge competition?

I didn't go... don't envy me...

peace.

us poor, sad people who didn't get to go...*sniffles*

living in amerika really limits my options...


peace.

Mine too.

there will be a meet here close to me, actually this summer.

I don't think my parents will let me go, though...

epace.

and me

in reply to the post before the one before mine, but fortuitously also to the one before.

yes... amerika: the isolated incident.

peace.

i can just imagine it..."i need to go to Pennsylvania. why? so i can meet a bunch of people i met on the 'net..."

I haven't even mentioned it to my parents, and they're already dropping hints by saying things like, "there was this 16 year old girl who met this guy she met online at a cafe. she was kidnapped."

I choose not to point out that i am an 18 year old male.

but PA is da bomb.
