^You may snigger! When I started off as a programmer many years ago, not only did I have to input using a Westrex teletype and ^those, we also used card punches........ The punched bits from both sources were saved to make confetti, and the old cards made great shopping list/memo pads.

Snicker? Nope.

The college I used to go had examples of this, theirs had to be sent off to be compiled.

Oh god don't remind me ... Sometimes something would be a bastard and not compile, you would correct it and re submitt and some other error would be lurking down the code.... And back it would come .. Again

If there was an error in the programming it would take around 2/3 weeks for it to get sent back and re-sent. I don't think programming was as fun back then.

No it never took that long, not where I worked! And it was fun. ... possibly the most enjoyable work I ever had, I think.

however all that was a bit more than 30 years ago so I cannot remember any more COBOL than that I remember it fondly, though. Being paid to do something you like was pretty damn good! Plus being young didn't hurt any.. You young whippersnappers of today and your progs that don't need compiling, don't know what you were missing

This thread...it just won't die...there is that close option I have to the left though...hmm....

This thread is too special to be closed - it should be a sticky instead.

Hmmm... I'm thinking of clicking the little rocket to report you. How can you think of stopping Ray as he quests to ban sunglasses?

College student's turtle project takes dark twist

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Clemson University student Nathan Weaver set out to determine how to help turtles cross the road. He ended up getting a glimpse into the dark souls of some humans.

Weaver put a realistic rubber turtle in the middle of a lane on a busy road near campus. Then he got out of the way and watched over the next hour as seven drivers swerved and deliberately ran over the animal. Several more apparently tried to hit it but missed.

"I've heard of people and from friends who knew people that ran over turtles. But to see it out here like this was a bit shocking," said Weaver, a 22-year-old senior in Clemson's School of Agricultural, Forest and Environmental Sciences.

To seasoned researchers, the practice wasn't surprising.

The number of box turtles is in slow decline, and one big reason is that many wind up as roadkill while crossing the asphalt, a slow-and-steady trip that can take several minutes.
