Hi Matthew ,

Actually binary is not absolutely On or Off , 1 or 0 , one voltage is
simply higher than the other in electronic computer circuits, so it's
HIGH - LOW .

But you know that .

Enjoying Java immensely, been through intros to C, C++ , C# , good ,
but not as enjoyable to me - and I don't think I could fire them
around as I do with Java . And certainly not as easily

Assembly was nice and cool , I could see the actual messages from the
processor directly , even got the processor operate a robot and
directly controlled it !

I hear that ' Ruby-on-Rails ' is all the rage now, but I'm sticking
happily to Java - Assembly can do all the low-level machine stuff for
me, it's has a reputation of being the best for writing viruses to ,
though interesting not my thing !

I notice amongst the professors and lecturers their proudest boast is
that they honest, clean and of the highest integrity in such matters ,
that's my boast too ( as it's yours ) and shall proudly remain so .

Computer Science Dept. at Trinity, and every other Uni , misses out on
Automation & Control Technology, mostly Ladder Programming and control
of pneumatic circuits through DOS that I did seven years ago at
Waterford Institute of Technology - much more ' coal-face ' and
essential to robotics !

Computer Science degrees in all the Universities worldwide also miss
out on electronics as the Geeks generally fall down in electronics no
matter what nationality they are or what resources they have , it's an
international Geek failing - in fact it is a matter of concern that
the Geeks are usually desperately poor on electronics , as several of
our own actually admitted to me as they sought my help in labs !
Outside of programming they're not great , the engineers would be
better , even at programming, It's the same all over .

And the School's Director of Teaching and Learning actually sought out
my advice on the matter in his office on several occasions ( he sounds
out peoples' feedback regularly at such one-to-one sessions ) ,
concerned to keep Trinity's internationally renowned standard of
excellence of its Computer Science Dept , in face of recent intakes
that are not as brilliant as former years - the Computer Science Dept
was actually founded by a group of top engineers in the college forty
years ago, and has had several top professors along the way, brilliant
student classes too along the way .

But, alas, I noticed that many of the youngsters were 'clubbing in
together' as copycats to try to get on top of their assignments , the
more mature students honestly trying on our own as we're old enough to
know that theother way ( virtually Plagiarism ! ) is no good .

Java, Assembly, Ladder, Visual Basic, are the languages that I have
right now , though Assembly is more coal-face and lab-oriented
actually working on the processor ( in my case a Motorola 68008 ) ,
and as I'm not involved in web development, and won't be, I don't
think I need any more languages - I even turned down an offer of doing
Eiffel for this reason, was I right ?

I've grown to love Java to bits, it does all I want and more. Yet it
was the toughest for me to get going on at the start , although Visual
Basic is object-oriented it's mostly structural still . So I didn't
get to appreciate Java until Object Orientation dawned on me half way
through as the teaching of that started off structural too . But OOP
gives such freedom to create, it's a joy ( C was horrible, old hat
too ! its associated UNIX terrible though still very powerful ) .

Do I really NEED any other language ? Hardly....

Cheers,
Michael .

Strictly speaking, binary is a mathematical number system (base 2) and
each digit only has two possible values - either 1 or 0.

In physical electronics these values can be represented as voltages,
depending on the technology used this is typically either 0V and +5V
for CMOS and 0V and +3.3V for TTL (at least that's what they were when
I was in college 20 years ago - the technology may have changed since
(and probably has)).

In both these technologies the +5 or +3.3 is a relative value, and 0
represents the base voltage - it is not the same as earth.
All voltages are relative in this way, as you know the other names for
voltage are electro-motive force and potential difference - the latter
giving away it relative properties.

C# and .NET with SQL Server if you want to do windows/web
applications.
Java is more specialist and commands much bigger salaries!

I did Computer Systems Engineering and Microelectronics - I became a
software developer due to the exodus of electronics manufacturing from
South Wales in the mid 1990s.

It's not about languages any more, it's about development frameworks
accessible though any language of choice.

I had a conversation with another engineer about 1 + 1 = 2 being
simple to understand just yesterday afternoon. We both agreed that
there are much more complex algebraic,numerical and trigonometric ways
of expressing this relationship. All of them should be just as easy to
understand. That's true is everyone shares a common bag full of
knowledge.

That's why Druids shared a body of tales indexed through Ogham keys.
That's also why A = 10 and 10 = 2 are both true depending on the
bagged knowledge being used. There's powers in them twos. Zero power
is A for that bag. Power of 1 is 10 for the 2's bag. When 2 gets
hexed, then it is A instead of 10.

Of course, it's all simple in the bag yet it could be a mystery if one
has not studied the powers of numbers and letters. I sometimes think
it was the same with the Druids of old when they were in trouble with
the nobility for talking in riddles. That story reminded me of the
episode in the movie Amadeus, when the king or emperor tells Mozart
that his music is excellent but has too many notes within it. To this
Mozart replied, "Which notes would you have me remove, Your Majesty?"

In some codes, the information does not exist in levels or quantities
at all but in transitions between states or levels. Manchester coding
is like that. It's how satellites and aircraft communicate even when
there is a lot of noise and a great variation in signal levels. The
transitions occur only at certain times relative to when
synchronization occurs and only for a certain length of time. In this
way the information is sent during the quiet times between the noise.

Wouldn't it have been nice to hex the numbers with blfsn instead of
abcef?

That would have sealed the deal.

It's about the only piece of humour we have seen from this person so
far, one one-liner : please don't expect me to laugh at the one joke
here of a vicious-minded person who came in here after my blood,
that's alright for a fence-sitter like you with no backbone !
It isn't really a hilarious joke either, but perhaps it is to one with
your own limited sense of humour?
( shit-scared to offend Dan as usual - would you ever laugh at one of
my jokes about him ? That's the difference between us , Root - I'd
gladly kill him and he knows it too :-) )

And as for the Welsh today, you're a nation of lickers , your licking
Dan's arse would come as no surprise to an Irishman at all .
When a Taffy arrives in London, he licks up to the English, that's why
they rightly patronise you.In no time at all, you walk, talk and look
like an Englishman.
I've seen it myself :-)
Not so the Paddy or the Jock, that's why they respect us - they just
piss on the Welsh, who can blame them ?

No it's not an amazingly funny joke, in fact it's quite geeky and

'Shit-scared', hehehe, like I should be afraid of what?

If the joke was particularly funny in a more generic sense than the
obvious animosity between you (i.e. it could be applied to other
situations) then yes, absolutley. If you manipulate the english
language in such a way as I have not seen before, with clever usage of
puns and soundalikes, then yes. absolutely.

I would not purposely take another's life from them.

Anyway, looks like this thread may well descend far deeper into the
pit, time for me to jump off and wish you bon voyage ;)

As I have proven, you have proved your statement here that you were in
the UK to be a complete lie . ( You were never in Paris either, or
Germany - which is very strange for a Swiss ! ) .

You seem to have hightailed it fast out of Swittzerland and show no
great urge to ever return there - Jim told me why ! )

You have no experience in matters Celtic, have no training or
education whatsoever - and it shows here time and again.

Once a Liar, Always a Liar, and at your age you have no hope of
recovery into being an honest person which you have never been. To
your kind the end justifies the means, and your means is the Technique
of the Big Lie , Propaganda Techniques you have read in books coupled
with your own ratlike cunning, topped up by Bullying -

Your biggest personal problem is that you can't get on with your
fellow human in the normal world , your kind does not know how to
relate, thus ending up in your corner here for the past eleven years.
You have my pity - and contempt !

( I am sure that Stonehengio can'tt wait to test you on
Stonehenge ! )

Pretty obvious he's on his knees begging for attention again, making stuff
up and trying gratuitous insults left and right; that's all. I noticed too,
yesterday. Best to ignore it all and keep him occupied talking to himself. I
just keep track of the record for sport. It's eighteen times according to my
