One of my neighbors has this: "MyNeighborsPenis".
Apparently it's available to anyone that wants to connect. My niece came into town and picked that one because she was more reluctant to connect to my wireless ("SkyNET Guest").

I used wifi names to advantage. One of my neighbors was an abusive single mother that was almost always screaming at her children. I named my wifi "CPS_Observation#42". She settled down quite a bit after that.
[In Texas, CPS is Children's Protective Services.]
I now live in a retirement community. My current wifi is "ItHurtsWhenIP".
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

Hi All,
I have arranged today for squashing a problem that was halting progress. A nutty issue with time a loop to complete getting around an issue the real issue is more time would to hold the delay long enough for the LCD display too catch up. I had a brain wave last night wrote some notes on how to do it, added the code and bang it now seems to working the way it was/is supposed to, boolean variables to the rescue!

So, you are truly one of us... the best ideas come while asleep.

I had a similar-ish problem about twenty years ago: new batch of LCD's wouldn't work with an existing board. Turned out that with the new 32Mhz Z80 I'd been outside the LCD data specs for about three years of production even with the old 8Mhz processor ... 
Solution? Add a PIC to drive the LCD at the right rate, and buffer the processor output - couldn't do it in the Z80 as I needed all the performance I could squeeze out of it to drive the printhead and the additional memory access cycles would have crippled it. That was something of a lash-up, but by 'eck it sold in droves!

I really don't want to know how many JavaScriptors you now have confused. They will never have heard of a Z80 framework and are still trying to figure out what the 32MHz and 8MHz stuff is about,
But they might know that the Falcon can do the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.

You know that always confused me, :geekmode: parsec or parallax Arc Second is a measure of distance and not speed :\geekmode:

Really? Then why would a smuggler say something like that to a farmboy and his grandpa when bragging about his ship?

I seem to remember a short story set in the Star Wars universe that explained the Kessel Run faux pas. The "Kessel Run" was a route between two regions of the Empire. The problem with the route was that there was some kind of astronomical phenomena (nebulae, neutron stars, stellar nursery?) that made hyperspace travel dangerous unless you took the long way around. Doing the "Kessel Run" in 12 parsecs was therefore the height of ballsy and reckless piloting.

Gravity wells pull ships out of hyperspace, repentinely and with destructive results. Planning a safe route requires a lot of computational power (which the Millenium Falcon has since it holds 3 different navigational computers... scavenged and incompatible between each other and that's why it often malfunctions), thrust power to escape the outermost areas of gravity wells before they pull the ship out of hyperspace and pilot (over)confidence.
I have a cozy home in wookieepedia. And one on tvtropes.

I have always found the elegant lash up last longer and is more fault tolerant than the proper methods...

Ahhhh Z80!

Clear: LD HL,Start

It comes back so easily - and I haven't coded in Z80 for decades now ...

Ok, it may be an AR but I don't see the magazine well and the barrel would be way too short.

Maybe, but I've never broken a screen on any (Android) phone I've ever owned, care, plus a silicon case seems to be all I need to stop damage. Not that I'm getting an iPhone 10 X or whatever its called any time soon.

You handle your phone better than me

The only time I broke the screen was when my Lumia 635 started going nuts and didn't stop for a while, and I needed to make an important call. I lost patience and the phone suddenly impacted screen-first on a wall... one of those ridged exterior walls. It didn't end well for the screen.
