1. Okay next question. Are the files in the 11/10/03 post the just the same thing that we see posted at Paintover for 11/08/03?

Same exact thing, just saved in different formats. Either the PM's were sneaky or Movable Type (the software PaintOver runs) ate the data incorrectly. If you take a raw binary file, then combine every two bytes to make a 16-bit word, then convert those words to Unicode HTML entities, this is the kind of thing you get (on a browser that supports Unicode and has the right fonts installed).

2. Other question...
Does BriEnigma's translation start at the 10:30 AM post on 11/08 or at the 11:43 post?

The stuff I posted was in chronological order, starting with the first PaintOver message (at the bottom of the page), and working to the most recent on (at the top of the page).

that "hurt in g_" bit - sounds to me like he was trying to say "hurting"?

That makes a lot of sense yanka...

I don't know how uniquely male an experience it is, but I am one red-blooded Aussie bloke who is much happier that Tex is just generically hurting... Getting hurt in the g_ just ain't fun.

Forgive him, ladies, he knows not what he speaks.

I am male, and I have gotten kicked in the...well, you know. And it hurts...A LOT. It it a uniquely male experience, and no woman will ever understand the pain.

But I have witnessed the miracle of childbirth, and let me tell you, after it was over, I felt like the WORLD'S BIGGEST P*SSY. I'd rather get kicked in the jewels repeatedly than go through childbirth.

bagsbee... maybe we could put up a sticky poll:

[Offtopic][poll][guys] Give birth or get kicked in the g_?

I'd say it's pretty much a coin-flip... Wink

And Zimbu... I'm glossing over your post. Why? Because I've got no idea. This was all solved and done when I woke up the other day, and I'm just jumping on the bandwagon. Laughing

Is there a diffrent between Texel's posts and the files in the Zip file?
And what is XOR?

XOR means exclusive OR, if I remember correctly from computing classes it roughly means, either A or B, but NOT both. Things like XOR and NAND gates and things are used in electronics on circuits...its just a form of logic. Hope that helps a bit.

FOLDOC is always useful for computing definitions. Here is the XOR entry:

Thanks for the explanation and the link!
And you don't need to answer my first question.... I realized the texel's posts and the zip file are the same. I will add this to my site tommarow.

Actually, for ANY definitions nothing beats Google.. I can't explain how impressed I am with all the new technology these guys are creating which no one even knows about.. (check labs.google.com) .. anyway all you need to do is type define: XOR in google
