"Go fuck yourself!"

But that would be redundant.

Why am I here?

Because I'm pissed off at the deception of the computer industry and the
effect this dishonesty has had on me personally physically and financially.

Imagine that I actually thought I'd productively do such with computers
that I'd cause additional sales of hardware and software to happen.

Instead I've been given alot of dishonest crap by those who apparently are
busy fucking themselves.

But there is more, I've been presenting solution directions.

Only here again are those busy fucking themselves.

Complain about no software - but don't do a fucking thing to help evolve
an public available auto-coding environment. Ah, the programming expertise
of the Amiga community at it's best. Falling short of accomplishing
anything. Instead there have been all these back door and closed rooms of
deception.

Complain about Piracy and the need to market - But don't do a fucking
thing to help change the model and methodology so that such can happen.
Instead attack anyone suggesting such a direction, fuck yourself under the
guise of "community of nameless faceless user sacrifices for the good of
who's pocket?".

And then there is the hardware modularity direction, in the full scope of
the solution directions I've been giving. In the spirit of fucking
yourself, we gonna have the hypocracy of digital convergence so that the
screw job can penatrate deeper.

To the pathetically dishonest, I really wish I could say to you "Go Fuck
Yourself" But instead, Bravo, you're already doing a good job.


So what is the worse to expect? Easy, anyone can expect someone to come
along, Probably Jim Collas, and do most everything right, except what
counts most. Giving genuine credit where it is really due. And this
dishonest seed will manifest itself and grow to continue the screw job,
but far deeper felt.

In other words, it's gonna get worse before it gets better. But you are
gonna mistakenly think it's getting better until the worse is staring you
in the face and you'll have no where to turn because in your blindness,
you'll not see where to turn. No different than now, except it'll be to
late for you to excape.

Okay, if you're /so/ pissed off with all that's going on, why don't you
start designing and building a so-called 'auto-coding environment'. Do you
think it's childsplay? Let me tell you something. It's probably decades
away. The leaps needed in AI, language interpretation, visualisation, etc,
are extermely large. But please, and I mean this in all seriousness, prove
me wrong. I would love it if you would build such a system.

Somehow, I don't think you will.... Maybe you should devote some of the
time you spend flaming or commenting to others to coming up with the system.
I think such a system would probably be up there with the invention of the
internet, car, etc, so you really would make quite a name for yourself.
Tempted?

It really is amazing how people make things up to hide their ignorance.

For example, I don't support the saviour leading back to the spoiled brat
devil.

So what is your comprehension problem here? Hiding your ignorance?

Auto-coding must seem to be a threat to you.

Not an unreasonable request, you would think. AFAIK the 'auto


coding' fantasy is simply a psychological crutch to hide the grim

truth that Tim can't code. Nothing to be ashamed of, of course.

However, he plays himself as the big hotshot saviour of us poor

deluded little computer-slaves and his pig-headed brain has long since


renounced all input from the outside world.

I think Tim suffers from Usenet addiction. If he actually learned to
stop himself posting every vague thought that crossed his mind and
used the no doubt MASSIVE amount of time this would leave him...

Oh, but that would be too easy ;)

To create an auto-coding environment, you must run the VIC Arexx
script (I know that to the untrained eye it does nothing but please
humour me) and connect the joystick port of the machine to a pair of
probes suspended in a strong brownian motion inducer (say, a nice hot
cup of tea). In accordance with the laws of improbability an
auto-coding environment will appear on your hard-disk. The first
function of this program is to scan the brainwaves of the user (via
the RF port) to determine exactly what he/she requires in the way of
software. The resulting brainwave matrix is decoded by the VIC and
the code it produces becomes self-aware a couple of nano-seconds
before it executes itself. The user is no longer required at this
point and melts in a messy fashion, rather like the Nazis did at the
end of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'.

I hope this clears up this often misunderstood topic :)

4GLs suck. Nothing codes better than a human mind and there are 6
billion of them out there to train. You could train yours if you had
the knowledge and the will. Quit molesting us with this sci-fi

So? That's an all encompassing problem with capitalism, not just the
computer industry. Greed is far older than software. It is easier to
see in the computer industry because it grew so large in so little
time.

Lost on this one, is humour.

It is easy to coin phrases like 'warp-speed' or 'time-machine' but it
is another thing altogether to actually invent such a beast. You
think you can invent a device that will produce code on the vaguest
user description of its inputs and outputs?

Gawd you are stupid. Hey that's another human talent of the mind!
Stupidty!

So tell me, where in the hell did you read 4GL? Or's that just something
your mind inserted? Don't feel bad, I've seen other minds do this too.
Maybe the first time it happend was when someone read into my
communication something about "memory protection" when all I really
communicated was the need to have crash protection. Geee, I suppose the
mind inserts all kinds of garbage that's not really there if you let it.

I took art class fer a # o years. 1 of dem tings I learned was 2 c
what is der and knot what I tink is der.

Could maybe you learn the same thing too? De dif between waht is real and
de sci-fi you imagine.

Actually the VIC is not a 4GL or 5GL or 6 six geee L. It aint ebin a one,
two or three Geeeeee eL.

So Geee ell what it be den?

It be d gear and bearing man, dat maketh de GLs possible.

Gee Mr. L. Yep yep, i do 2 tink so, duh.

Not only dat, but u b ebin use dee VIC with be human language, like now.

Ahhh, so how you be train? Doith youith knowith howith toith usith a be
dictionary?

Dis "symbol" equal to dis "bunch o stufff dat say alot more"!! He He.

Smile, you're on the dumb user team son. Pay attention and get de sand out

Yep yep, lets' change dees rules. You can't say no but if you use,
specially to make some dough, den pay fair royality respect. Just like

No but if you hum a few bars over and over, den you can automate it.
And ifn you can automate what you do in repetition, including inserting
things not there, you can go further.

To get to 'c' from 'a', where you cannot see 'c', your rideover to 'b' so
to see 'c', see?

Joe went to store to buy CC rider tape.

Nancy went to store to buy CC rider CD.

Joe went to store to return CC rider tape.


Do we sea a pattern here?


____ went to store to ______ CC rider _____.


Hmmmm, geee, suppose we be can do automation layering?

Hmmm, maybe start with human language, one step at a time to go deeper
into layers and back out and then maybe in a bit and out to translate dis
into:

Happey Birthday Jack, Hope you like the CC rider CD we bought you.

So....

Jack went to store to return CC rider CD.

Maybe you should spend some time reading instead of being brain washed by
band wagon jumper oners.

Lets' play a game. How many new abstractions can you think of that the
field of Artificial Intelligence has brought us?

Artificial Intelligence - nothing is naturally that stupid.

Tell me again how AI and auto-coding are related in Artificial Intellegent
ways. But let's get the vocabulary down first.

Maybe what I should do is prove the VIC can be stupid too, just like you?

Hmmmm, I suppose it is because I didn't make the 36th word of the message
before that one, start with the letter 8 bit.

It needed to be this in order for the fourth system in the internet
network to my right, with a short left about a mile, to know that it
needed to send a signal to one of the earthlink satellites informing the
space gerbal to wait an extra minute before eating.

You see, it's important for the space gerbal to wait an extra minute and a
half before eating so that the satellite will tip just the right way to
catch signal bounce from the transdeducer located at 34 south park in the
UK. Otherwise owl, the earthlink Outer World Link, will not know to turn
on the switch that allows your message onto the earthlink network so that
I might see it.

Actually That's not right but it's more complicated when I tell you about
the lion, Link In On Network, methodology of threatening the owl to scare
the gerbal to shit earlier than I P.

Hmmm, come to think of it, I think the 36th word was 7 bit, so that means
your message was late but answered already here but to be there. Something
about thors horn of plenty, last in first out.

In other words you are doing that same thing many others are trying to do
in telling me to give up and that I'm a dumb end user loser, Just like
you?

But I'm not. Look around at the changes, look beyond even this ng and
platform. Don't you know what it is you are seeing?


I believe the idea you are supporting is one of arrogance in assumption.

That is that there are those who arrogantly assume they own any and all
things generated by the one they treat like shit.

What do I really need? Do I need all the above or is that just the
illusion you want to wrongly dump on me so to mislead?

I think all I really need is simply being honest and right. And that I am.

On the other hand there does seem to be those who seem to appear out of
nowhere with nothing but a position of saying no you cannot have, and
everyone bows down in worship of them. But hey it don't pay my bills!


So let me give you a piece of advice. Pull your head out of your ass, and
re-read the full message I posted. Instead of the little piece of it you
made into some kind of illusional mountain.

I didn't read it. I read 'auto-coding' and thought 'horrid bloaty
mess' 'cos that's what 4GLs are. Notoriously inefficient. Take a
mind, any mind, and see the greatest known code optimiser known to
man. Don't devolve more to the machine 'cos it just ain't smart
enough. Come back when we have fully functioning neural-nets and
'auto-coding' may be a possibility but by then these machines will
want there own 'Income Opportunity'. :)

Is there like a course in abstraction manipulation you took or something?

I did ace the classes I took. But you see, an industry that has it's head

Well it's no wonder you put on the act of ignorance about the mentioned
document.

Only those in the dishonest industry are so incapable of admitting their
understanding of the document.

Hey, that's consistance with incentive of being dishonest.

But I'll tell you what, I already made up the data bases for all
knowledge.

You just have to pay me 30 billion to see. Hows that?

It depends what you mean by abstractions. I'm sure it has plenty of
abstractions in the form of higher-level algorithms translated to code, or
in mimicing the way our own mind works, or that of an animal.

From what I gather of 'auto-coding', and this may be a different
interpretation to your own, is that it involves simply instructing a
computer what to do. For example, instructing it to sift through a pile of
several thousand emails, junking all those that are clearly junk, producing
a short, condensed list of anything important, and saving the rest for
future use. Now clearly AI would first of all be needed to translate these
instructions into a form the computer can understand simply, say, voice then
language recognition. It would then need to know how to construct such a
program, or sequence, and decide how to read this list of emails. It would
have to be capable of understanding the messages within the emails, and how
to translate them into concise, simple English. (Or even Italian, gaelic,
whatever.)

> Maybe what I should do is prove the VIC can be stupid too, just like you?

Now come on, that's no way to make friends, is it?

After reading the reference, and hearing how you 'aced all courses I have
taken in computer electronics and programming', why don't you prove your
immense intelligence by pulling your finger out and getting the experience
you claim not to have? If you did that then I might have some respect for
you, otherwise I'll just think of you as infantile, dillusioned, insulting
and foolish.

Wrong. I wasn't the one who made that association. All I did was point out
an exception that people believe happened. An exception that contridicts

Really? Well, maybe you'd have more luck if you drew what *should* be
there, not what *looks* like is there, /or/ what you *think* is there. It's
remarkable the difference it can make. You've got to be very, *very* good
to draw in the way you described -- the human brain really is too quick for
itself, and manages to fool itself too often.

If you draw seeing what is there, then look at your picture, you'll realise
it looks nothing like what it should. Why? Because you'd forgotten you
were drawing not a shape but an actual, real-life object.

Example: A couple of years back, I drew a picture of a parrot from a
photograph. The parrot was in mid-flight, so the wings were very blurred.
For the first couple of hourse, I drew what was in the photo -- head, beak,
wings, etc -- and then I stood back and looked at *my* picture, ignoring the
photo.

It looked like utter dross -- complete crap, it was.

Instead of sitting down with the photograph and working out where I went
wrong, I put away the photo and looked at the *animal*. What was wrong with
*it*? Another 2 hours of alterations, and my drawing was finished -- much
improved, with real tangible /life/, and a powerful sense of motion. It
ended up looking like the original photo, but in the previous 2 hours I had
effectively rubbed out and started again, without looking at the photo.

(BTW, I got 4th prize for that picture in the village fete -- not cos there
was anything wrong with the picture, but because I had only used pencil, and
the old biddies doing the judging like bright colours :)

[snip - see original]

Generally you are doing nothing more than showing me how you can bit flip
abstractions, words. Like it's a game to you, nothing really to do with
drawing but just a matter of the collection of abstract word sequences.

There are examples of my work, even pencil, on my web site. Maybe you'll
find them yourself or someone will point you to them. There is even a
light wave animation, my fist animation, if you have the ability to view
such an animation and want to.

I haven't seen your work, but from what you have said, it seem to me that
you either don't want to learn, were being taught wrong or there is some
other reason why you where having a hard time duplicating a photograph
into pencil.

I do not question whether or not you did a pencil drawing that won fourth
place in an art contest. Art is a funny thing, it's widely open to the
opinion of the observer. And even the opinion of the opinion of an
observer (as you showed in your apparent opinion of the judges choice to
like color over the gray scale of pencil.)

You were not being judged for you skill to apply pencil photographically.
If such was your goal, then you would have applied a grid technique and
have drawn what you saw in each square of the matching grid. Only paying
attention to the overall to insure you followed the same gray scale
translation into pencil, from grid to grid.

I've seen excellent photographic pencil application applied with artistic
creative absence. Where I can appriciate the skill of duplicating a
photographic in pencil, but see nothing but that skill. I've also seen
and done photographic pencil work where the skill of duplication is
complimented by the artistic and creative choices and intentional
alterations in pencil. I have as well seen poor skill at photographic
duplication into pencil but very artistic and creative talent otherwise.


The point:

Artist are a dime a dozen. But most don't make it because they let their
ego get in the way.

Here's a question for you:

Is my ego in the way? Or is it just that I'm really pissed off about the
poor quality of the pencils, paints, paper, brushes, etc... The tools this
computer industry has for sale and how?

It seems that not only is the tools of very poor quality, but that the
industry pathetically wants to also own any work I might accomplish with
such tools. So much so that it is willing to hurt itself in the spoiled
tradition of a child saying "If I cannot have it, then nobody else will"
or more correctly if it is to exist, a spoiled child must be the
controlling owner of it.

Why else would you attempt to deny me talent I have?
