Well do you want video or just pictures?Just don't put either on The Thread. Please... 😀
Hey, I thought only code was barred on The Thread?
Hmmm, but this gives an idea. Excuse me whilst I pop off to the photocopier. I'm sure it will help me make amends for my faux pas earlier.
Steve.
I think we should pass on the photocopier. Images of Grant in fishnet stockings is bad enough.
Did Grant pass the photocopier or did he sit on it?

I like Assimov's definitions for optimists and pessimists.An optimist is convinced this is the best of all possible worlds. And a pessimist is afraid that's probably correct.
I like those definitions too. They allow me to claim I'm whichever suits me best at any point in time, or of course to claim that I'm both.
I used to prefer the definitions that say an optimistic is someone who thinks that although much is all screwed up we can change if we apply enough effort. A pessimist agrees, but is concerned (a) that "much" may be "amost everything", (b) that "enough" may be rather a lot, and (c) that the direction of change might not be quite what the optimist expects. I'm sure I picked it up from a book by someone writing SF, maybe Blish or Heinlein or Stasheff or maybe not - but definitely not Asimov.

A picture is worth a thousand words... @=)So if a picture is worth a thousand words and movies show 24 pictures per second and most movies are around 2 hours then the average movie is 172,800,000 words. If you figure a good sized novel is 60,000 words then the average movie is 2,880 novels, beyond the reach of even Rober Jordan, Steven King or other overly wordy writers. .
Well, Corín Tellado wrote over 4000 novels, so has to be in the running.
Steve.
But how many of the about 4000 were photonovelas? There are fewer words in the bocadillos of a photonovela than in the quoted speech in an ordinary novel. Also, I suspect that the average novela rosa has nearer 30000 words than 60000 (how many words in the average Mills and Boon publication?).
I guess I ought to read a novel or two of hers - although I suspect the novela rosa genre will drive me bats - since if I want to partake of Spanish culture I ought to read at least one book by the most popular Spanish language author since Cervantes and probably the most widely read ever (average 100000 copies per book, about 4000 books - 400 000 000 copies altogether - is amazing).

A lot of those book sales were in S America - and that is there was rain forest to provide wood.

No, that's because (all together now) the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.

I think you've got it!
... but since I'm a science nerd I'm going to have to run tests and ensure the results are replicable. Then we'll have to submit our findings to a peer-reviewed journal.
... and since I'm in IT, we're going to have to submit this to further testing, run it through QA and make sure it is satisfactory to the end users.
We should know if you've got it in 6-12 months.

By Jove! You've forgotten about taking care of your SOX while you're at it! In dealing with a rainforest, you'll catch some nasty things if you don't keep your SOX clean and dry.
Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.

Actually, that's part of testing the desaster recovery scenario: run through the rainforest not SOX-compliant and try to recover. 😀
However, it needs to be documented in an ISO compliant format where the SOX actually have to be. Otherwise you'd end up with a situation Jeff described earlier (a mouth full of SOX 😀 ).
But this might actually be a good version of an intrusion prevention system. At least for this specific point of entry. 😉
And now we know why you have to have SOX everywhere: it's just there to protect you!

And HIPAAs are previously undiscovered rainforest predators that leap out of the shadows when you least expect it, deliberately hampering all attempts to keep your SOX clean and dry. They're also very talented when it comes to tying ISO formats into complicated Gordian Knots.

This is one reason best practices now call for keeping your SOX on something other than yourself for this test, they're better able to eliminate the predator bias and you can observe from a distance to catch more details. It is best practices to keep SOX on FOX as originally illustrated by Seuss.
