attention codecattx

(geek humor from a mailing list I'm on)

I was younger when I was an assembly language programmer working with the guts of a SCADA system running on TI-960 computers (don't ask, you do NOT want to know about the machine architecture) and was going out to a site in Missouri somewhere east of Springfield when a large sign on a small building announced:

The First Assembly of God

I nudged the senior guy I was working with and pointed it out to him, adding "I wonder how many error messages they got?"

He snorted and riposted "Screw that, why can't they afford a compiler?"

Talk about distortion!

'Sectarian' curriculum must go, says N. Mex. official

Contrary to what is stated in the article A Beka is not *remotely* "the best". In fact students educated using that curriculum cannot attend University of California schools nor many others as it is *specifically* noted as providing complete inadequate and even outright false info in science and history.
