All I can say is that I dont like being told to Shut Up by anyone anytime for any reason. It can never be justified.

And if thats how I'm treated, I wont hesitate to leave.

EDIT: a good rule of thumb is: if you wouldn't say it to your Dad or Mum, don't say it to anyone else.

Sorry Marrow

No problem. Still would love to have you do testing.

Thanks, and when do you think the version will come out? Will I be back home on my Mac to test it? Because I leave Canada in about a week.

[Marrow]

lol, not that soon.

Let me see, this is June. I would say in two to three months.

For you, since you're testing, I'd estimate a month from now. Then, depending on how you like it and others like it, it'll be released.

This is subject to change if the developers need more time or finish up their work earlier saying it's ready.

I'm very sorry, I meant "shut up" in a nice way like "it doesn't matter so why are we arguing over it? we should just drop it and move on." I did not mean to be rude...

Good I firugred not that soon, lol. Ya, 1 month is good. I love this kind of thing where I have a say. I will do my best, you have my word.

And thanks again Marrow for letting me test it.

hehe i'll be a bit uppety and declare myself judge in the measurements incident (used to teach stuff like this):

on the straight and narrow:
b = bit always
B = byte always
bps = bits per second always when speaking of modern transfer rates, for old ones one uses baud
K, M, G, T, E, P = by convention always used in uppercase. think of the examples "kg" and "Kb" the k in kg is 1000 while the K in Kb is 1024 (this stuff is a popular topic for flamewars but this is the fact/thruth) i intentionally used b (bits) in this example as K is still 1024 (k is metric and decimal while K is binary)

btw T, E and P are tera, exa and peta for those who didn't know

using Kb(ps) or Mb(ps) has to do with sizes not culture

usage:
all over the place but to avoid (potentially big) complications one should try to use the above as it's good practice for when it actually really matters

for the anal (i.e. at uni hehe ):
start writing b, o, d or h in small letters behind your numbers to indicate wheter they are binary, decimal, octal or hexadecimal
warning: this will make people think you are weird lol so only do this if you really want to be anal

examples:
11b (3o, 3d, 3h)
11o (1001b , 9d, 9h)
11d (1011b, 13o, Bh)
11h (10001b, 21o, 17d)

and remember that winning an internet discussion is like winning in the paralympics, you're still lame (so please let me win this one eh? )

ouch *slaps myself hard for such a terrible insensitive joke at the expense of the internet users*

as taken from

http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/B/baud.html:

baud

Pronounced bawd, the number of signaling elements that occur each second. The term is named after J.M.E. Baudot, the inventor of the Baudot telegraph code.

I have the original 0.2.6.0 code compiled and running on Windows XP (Visual Studio 6) and Red Hat Fedora Core 2. I would like to try out the new CVS version (looks like it is still private?). My source forge account is k_at_work. I don't know if I'll ever get time to do any active development, but I can certainly test.
Thanks

[Marrow]

Thanks, k.

We'll let you and Zapple know when it's reached the testing phase.

[Tank Program]

Marrow, ppl can download CVS anyway... It's in a constantly testing phase. We just can't guarentee anything will work if you get it from CVS vs getting it as a test release from us...

[Marrow]

I know this. However, I didn't want others to know this.

[Heinz]

Hi

a nice project.

If there need some help to translate text in the second (or is it the first) language german im ready for it.

... and no, i have no sourceforge account

Hi Heinz, that would be great. You can get a sourceforge account at http://www.sourceforge.net or we'll just send you what we need translated and you can send it back to us through e-mail.

Now I have an account, my user name is
