Kinda screw up the silicon, I should think. Other news today: A fly laid a little black egg on my table radio. That was the final straw. It had been annoying me all day while I was trying to work. I managed to splatter it with a tea towel, which gave me an unhealthy rush of pleasure. **Nuthin' unhealthy 'bout that. Which reminds me: A bunch of years ago, Chairman Mao decreed that the two most serious pests in China were flies and sparrows. The peasants were instructed to kill all the flies and sparrows they could. BIG mistake! Apparently, the sparrows kept the insect population in check............ Anyway, back to Blue Hills. -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au |

I saw a documentary about the 'fake' diamond trade. Apparently some clever people have come up with a way of making very high quality diamonds without the high pressure and high temperature. They're already being sold at selected jewelers. Still, from what I recall of the cost of the things, growing a diamond coating on a processor would increase its cost by several thousand pounds at least. **For some of the nutter I know, that would not be unreasonable. One guy I communicate with has a need to make an 800MHz PIII perform faster than a 3GHz PIV. He uses a large refrigerator outside the PC case. YIKES! A bunch of years ago, Chairman Mao decreed that the two most serious pests in China were flies and sparrows. The peasants were instructed to kill all the flies and sparrows they could. BIG mistake! Apparently, the sparrows kept the insect population in check............ I would be torn on the issue: I like sparrows and hate flies, you will note. **Noted. Maybe I could kill flies and wasps (I also hate wasps, note - am in fact allergic to their sting). **Noted. I like wasps, but I don't know if I am allergic. Wasps (over here anyway) kill other, nastier critters. I like bumble bees too, you will note. **Noted. I like regular, honey bees and our local, native bees (which don't sting). For example, I would much rather skip down the street with a little cluster of bumble bees on cotton threads than I would with balloons on strings. **What a charming vision I have in my head. Wasps on cotton threads is just unthinkable to me. As is sparrows, now that I come to it. **Yeah, I think the wasps would be ****ed off. Some very interesting thoughts there. I hope other get as much out of them as I did. **Who gives a ****? In my backyard we have two, beautiful wattle trees. The local honey bees love them. Well, I've had a gutful of these freeloading beekeepers. I'm going to print up some teeny, tiny invoices and attach them to the legs of the bees, cahrgin the beekeeper for the use of my wattle trees.
