why can't people drive? i mean, how hard is it to push the gas peddle when the light turns green? if everyone would push the gas peddle at the same time, then everyone could go at the same time... instead, the amount of time you spend at the light is directly proportional to your number in the line. if you are six cars back, then you have to wait ( 5 seconds * 5 ) before you can go.
i know that it is possible for everyone to go at the same time because a train can do it. of course, the cars on a train are connected, but the principle is the same. maybe i am crazy, but i think we can do it!
the general idea here applies to many of life's little problems... people just don't think!

Well you see, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.---->

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains.
The stains become a warning.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

Yes its cheating, but then if I didn't do any spell checking, my posts would be even more illegible then they currently are. At least they're now almost syntactically correct if not semantically!

Thanx! I only had one question... (Please bear with me, I'm only 11 years old) I don't get the ipady() method in the API docs. What's the internal padding?![]()
If you could answer me, I'd REALLY appreciate it. Thanks!

When reading posts on Javaranch, does anyone else give the reading-voice in their head an accent to match how you think the poster would talk? For example, if you knew poster X was German, would you read their post with a German accent in your head, or do you just read them all with your own accent?
If you do apply accents to different posters, who has the strangest accent?![]()
