quote:That would imply that a finger is a digit on the hand other than the thumb. Which would mean that the thumb is not a finger at all.

Nobody has 10 fingers. Everybody has 8 fingers and 2 thumbs (assuming they are not deformed or lost any fingers). A more appropriate question would be: "How many digits do you have?"

How many times can Alorael hit a moving target in ten seconds... Well it depends on his skill, the skill of the moving target, the type of sniper rifle, the distance between them, the intervening terrain, the weather, the quality of the scope, how well the scope is sighted in, and the caliber of the sniper rifle. How many fingers do you have... Well, I guess I'm the only one who can tell the difference between my fingers and my thumbs, because I voted 8, and everybody else voted 10 [ Wednesday, August 31, 2005 08:23: Message edited by: Eldibs ] -------------------- "We can learn a lot from crayons.

A surface scan on scandisk would have revealed any damage to the hard drive, and marked it off as unusable, effectively decreasing available storage space. But it would have had to take major damage to make 1 GB unusable. Now maybe if the hard drive was hit with a baseball bat while it was running, that might cause that much damage. But I doubt that happened. -------------------- "We can learn a lot from crayons. Some are short, some are dull, some are sharp, some are tall.

And I agree with that, but my point is four (required) classes on English is a little bit overkill. Three at most should be all you need. High school is supposed to prepare you for college or a more simple career, not to get you ready to be an English Professor at Harvard.

Not an actual pencil and paper test, but them going through basic procedures with their equipment, and the teacher or an assistant watching them and seeing what they do wrong and what they do right. And butt-kissing doesn't always require good communication skills, just being able to agree with the boss on everything they say. Also, by the time you get to high school, you should already have a reasonable ability to read and write. If you can't read and write to some extent, you should be sent back to elementary school.

How does writing have anything to do with programming? The only thing I could see a programmer writing (on paper) is something in pseudocode or a flow chart. And the only thing that they should be typing is code for programs. I don't see a welder writing much either.
