What is The Foo ?

[lothar98zag]

posting nonsense - yes.

coding - not so much.

[lothar98zag]

fwiw...

i took a semester of computer programming at GU - almost 100% fortran, I think. (graduated in 98 and it was probably a soph level class)

never had to deal w/ it again after that class ended. thank god! (even though I'm pretty sure I got an A in the class)

there are too many forums to keep up with.... making my head spin

[lothar98zag]

They should add more forums.

One titled "Ask Lothar" would be a good addition. A lot of bad advice and incorrect answers could be given...

[Zag79]

if you leave the title "ask..." and that already exists for many of us.

Okay then just to make you feel more comfortable.

Alright that's before my time.

As a recent graduate of GU, the CS department pounded C++ into our heads (as well as the .NET platform which I now work with at my job). Not sure if that's changed now that CS is in the Engineering dept - I just missed that transition.

Any cs/enginerds remember suffering through cpen 231?

Foo For Thought

The word foo itself has no meaning. . .

So the contents of Foo have no meaning either.

Why do I keep thinking of Fran Polek reciting from Hemingway's "A Clean Well-Lighted Place:

Our nada who art in nada, nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada in nada as it is in nada. Give us this nada our daily nada and nada us our nada as we nada our nadas and nada us not into nada but deliver us from nada; pues nada. Hail nothing full of nothing, nothing is with thee.

Foo is nada. . .

I was thinking more along these lines

Mr Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and foos. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liver slices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencod's roes. Most of all he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine.

Now that's an advertising man. . .
