Bullshit. I can see it one of two ways:

1) You're a liar and received no such approval. I see this as likely
because you're prone to throw around names as a way to make yourself
seem more credible.

Well, darlin' I love you too:

1. I might use the names to establish credibility in a medium where
everyone is so filled with hatred and fear that nobody has any, but
unfortunately I rilly helped Nash with C, I rilly interviewed Peter
Neumann for a real book, Whit Diffie was a coworker and so on.

2. Don't call me a liar. It makes you a liar.

2) You received positive feedback for the Wikipedia edits and took
that to mean approval for ALL of your vindictive escapades.

2. Hmm. Do you do that? Because I think you think I'm some sort of
depraved person who would do that, and not learn instead that success
is based on doing one's homework as I did when I asked wikipedia to
remove the real garbage from the Schildt article. Do me the courtesy
of not confusing me with your depraved associates. I mean, if everyone
in your circle is for shit, and if every guy here is filled with
hatred, and every gal with fear and hatred, there's also the exception
that proves the rule.

I'd love to see what Schildt thinks of how you've been championing him
here on clc. Were I him, I'd rush to send you a cease and desist email.

Solidarity is rare, isn't it? My boss got in trouble for hugging a
laid off co-worker. And I've already addressed in writing this issue,
in a post where I described how Leon Trotsky's dissidence got his
extended family murdered. Stalin killed Trotsky's son: not Trotsky.
And if we can't point out that Seebach is stalking, that Seebach
initiated the campaign with CTCN-3, then anyone, anywhere in the
world, will be able to denounce any one else and depending on his
access to the technical apparatus, will be able to incite a mob.
Delightful world we live in, isn't it. Darlin.


Anyway, this is the moment when the women start screeching, isn't it,
excited at some bestial level by the blood and glass but frightened
that the men will turn on them all the same.

Blood and glass, blood and glass
This is merely what has come to pass.

Replace "poking at" by "stalking and harassing", please, because
that's what you are doing, and it is becoming a police matter. This is
because I raised the issue of your stalking Herb properly and asked
you to get in touch with me by email so we could discuss my concerns
offline, and you responded with stalking and harassing behavior.

The call the cops. Or file suit. Or something.

Why did you feel the need to quote spinoza1111's entire article?
Anyone who wants to read it can do so; those of us who have killfiled
him did so for a reason. Why help him spread his nonsense?

I'm educable (there's a good spinny word). I learned about sigs and
struct padding today.

Apology gladly accepted.

No. I understand that people have to get drunk today to talk poetry,
but I have to teach it, so I figured it out as you see up there and at
different places in these discussions. I find it amusing that when
people try to match me, they can't put together a single metrical line
(when English professors try and fail they claim that I don't scan in
sour grapes)...the words don't come, or foulness comes, or half
remembered rock lyrics.

And its SUCH an an a pest I am
When I shout iamb
Way down upon de Spondee river
Trochee me honey bunny

I mean: what we've found here is that someone with no academic
preparation in computer science and serious personal problems has
stalked and harassed Herb Schildt for fifteen years, using wikipedia
and the internet to amplify himself and make himself Legion. Rather
than subject him to the same treatment which would encourage the
criminal chorus of tu quoque, I propose to demonstrate in verse that
he's not dealing with what he thinks he's dealing. Something new, I'd
wot.

Best example:  You know the thing where summing the digits of a

 Neat!  I just tried this out in binary (N==2), and it works!

I know you were joking there; but nonetheless try it out in octal.
It actually has a use, there. Calculate the octal "digital root"
(for that is what it is called) of a day number (i.e. the number
of days since some fixed starting point that happens to be a
Sunday, such as 1899-12-31), and you get the day of the week.

Not so useful in software, perhaps, since a mod operator
produces the same answer. But in hardware even several adders
are usually preferable to a divider.
