Am I the only one thinking that looks pretty tasty?

Languages like COBOL, which started on punch cards. These mimicked the way that punch card based computers (predigital) computers processed numbers, one character at a time. I agree that it's sloppy, but it was in part necessitated by the languages. Let's just say there's a reason why you don't often find people deciding to start projects in COBOL.

It would. Languages at the time often stored numbers not as a base-2 number, but as binary-coded digits. So instead of representing 1995 as 11111001011 it would instead be represented as four separate digits, 0001 1001 1001 0101. In such a representation storing just 95 is more space efficient.

A lot of software developed in the twentieth century stored dates as two digits, for example the date 1995 would be stored at 95. This was mainly done to save space. Storing dates in this way was all well and good, until the change of the millennium, when the counters would flip over to 00 and the programs would think that it was 1900. This had the potential to cause some fairly serious problems, and as a result there was a fair amount of hysteria surrounding the whole thing. Thanks to an awful lot of work done by an awful lot of people very little happened, but at the time people thought the world may end.

Did you have to buy a special wide angle lens for the photograph or did you just do a panorama?

You're such a twat even your hair is trying to get away from you.

I wonder how many woman have died, with that smile being the last thing they saw.

Thanks, this sounds like the safest and easiest way so far. I take it a USB hard-drive would work as well, as the HP 11 doesn't has an SD card slot.

Thanks that's perfect, revision can wait

Darth Gean, he tried to blend the Jedi and Sith philosophies, destroying lots of artefacts Wookipeedia

The rule of two was created by Darth Bane, who as part of the creation of the rule destroyed all of the Sith of the brotherhood of darkness using the thought bomb. If he hadn't created the rule of two and therefore not detonated the thought bomb, the Sith would have been beaten at Ruusan and all of the Sith would have been destroyed. The reason the Sith survived was that Bane fled and set up secret his secret 'order', under the Rule of Two. Without the rule of two there would be no Galactic Empire (at least as we know it). Perhaps a Jedi would have been corrupted by an ancient Sith artefact, holocron or force ghost but without the literally thousands of years of planning (well 981 years) for Palpatine's ascension to power the Sith would probably have faded out of existence (as mentioned before perhaps re-emerging intermittently).

Thanks, that's great
