Here again, you're making an ad hominem argument.
I ain't adding homo's to anything, "buttman"
already did that!!!.
You're talking about the person, not the topic at hand.
Wish you wouldn't have used the phrase "topic at hand",
it's your gooey keyboard.
Additionally, "Buttman" could mean all sorts of things, and isn't necessarily
an indication of homosexuality.
Care to elaborate?
And furthermore, not everyone considers adumbration of homosexuality
pejorative, so your thinly veiled insult might well be without effect.
Well you're the one calling homo's dumb.
Seriously now: Recently we've been writing software
for a lunar mission, and after doing a lunar parking
orbit I/we had problems doing a manual softlanding
within fuel specs, so I installed an algorthm that
AutoLands using about 2 lines of code. There's a
thrill in landing but even more of a thrill seeing the
commands automatically executed, that I designed,
especially since it was so dang simple.
I could explain it if any of you guys want.
Were super excited about Project Constellation so
we're boneing up on details.

Ken
