Ping The Natural Philosopher...

[:::Jerry::::]

Piss off moron, you are nothing but an ignoranus, you know nothing about anything.

[David Lang]

":::Jerry::::" scribbled

After due consideration I have to agree. You cannot refute such a well constructed, reasoned and rational argument.

[Alan]

Don't feed the trolls....

[The Natural Philosopher]

Jerry-can. Avoid mirrors in future.

[BigWallop]

Should that be Jerry-Can or Jerry-Can't?

[:::Jerry::::]

I try not to, but when one tries to discredit whilst suggesting something dangerous and possibly deadly...

[Doctor Evil]

Seconded

[r.rain]

Did I miss something here?

See recent thread on:

"OT? Ford Fiesta fuel problem?"

Unless there summit else going down too?

Isn't it a song, like "Puff the Magic Dragon"?

Ping the Nat'ral Ph'los'pher Lives nowhere near the sea His septic is a Klargester For solids and for wee His walls are chicken wire His roof is rustic too But down the pipe goes all the mire The urine and the pooh

(I think I've been overly influeced by hearing a rendition of Puff The Magic Toilet in the student bar in 1988...)

Go on, do tell. Who let you out of the loony bin ?

[Stefek Zaba]

Indeed - how *could* you pen an Ode on the subject of the Natural Philosopher and make no mention of at least one of "Isopon", "car body filler", or "P38"? ;-)

Puff the magic dragon Couldn't find a mate, So he wandered in t'Bratord mud Accustomed to his fate. Then one day he found her A red hot bit of stuff, But he didn't know what to do with her That's why they called him Puff

Hi

Ping? An acronym? For what pray tell?

[:::Jerry::::]

Open DOS (or your own OS command line) prompt and then 'ping' someone else on the network to see if they are responding.

[Doctor Evil]

Exactly! Bodging.

[BigWallop]

Person in NewsGroup. It's a different PING to the one used for Packet pings to a network connection.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

I'm sure Jerry will be delighted with your support. But can you walk without it?

[Doctor Evil]

Walk without "my" support? How are the electric cabers doing?
