Interesting world view you have there. Is that the result of a head injury?

"Confiscating wealth from those who have earned it, inherited it, or got lucky is never going to help 'the poor.' Poverty isn't caused by some people having more money than others, just as obesity isn't caused by McDonald's serving super-sized orders of French fries Poverty, like obesity, is caused by the life choices that dictate results." - John Tucci,

Think of the message as a reward, after someone spends half an hour writing a decoder in BASIC.
Heh.

The last decoder I wrote in basic was to disassemble the firmware OS in a Commodre 1581 disk drive.
Yeah, that IS kinda strange.
Or -- sat down and decoded it by hand. (Not too difficult -- just tedious.)
Also -- not too difficult to write a decoder in C (or perl, or pretty much any reasonable language). Lots of ways to do it.
I don't think that I would want to try it in INTERCAL, however. :-)
Enjoy, DoN.

I had to look that one up.
That is a Riot! Reminds me of Douglas Adams.

I can't get to a browser right now. What did Bob say? Can anybody decode this for me?

Some English lived in towns. Some owned land or were subjects of landowners. The rest lived on public land. A big motive for turning public land into private estates was to get rich producing wool.
Large numbers of displaced Scotch and Irish ended up in America, while displaced English went to cities. Gin became popular as a cheap means of slow suicide.
Download the original paper on it and read that if you haven't. I remember being introduced to it at an early local computer club meeting, perhaps around 1978 or so.
Better -- it was written (in part) by one of the two programmer responsible for the original Adventure. :-)
supplementary publication, or my failing memory?
Enjoy, DoN.

That sure resonates with anyone who bashed their head against a thorough but completely useless instruction manual or 'man entry'. (Timidly raises hand.)
..Who were bright enough to warrant sunscreen and shades.
Perhaps you dismissed it as 'too improbable'. :)
