Early Christmas Present

12/17/2008 1:51 PM

I had been sitting on this site, trying to think of a good intro to it, but I'll just go ahead and post it as an early Christmas present, especially for the younger members and students who are often looking for free sources of information. If you're another religion, then please consider this a gift for your next celebration day. The site is a fairly comprehensive summary of hundreds of good education sites. Although this is a UK site, it has a few links to US sites (Yes, Brits, we stole Mike Fowler and we're keeping him, thank you ) I've only looked at perhaps a few dozen of the sites but they're first rate.

This is great! Thanks for the link. I tried some searches (VHDL, FPGA, chaos) and good something decent for each one.

First class.

CR4 is British? That's good news. One thing I want to know, is that it is .com, and if you install flagfox onto firefox, it comes up with an American flag.

Nevermind though.

Keep up the good work

Great link, there's only one problem, the only problem is they use the Queen's English, I wish you guys would standardize to US English, after all we invented it.

Hello Scapolie:

If I didn't know better I would think that phrase was French, fortunately I watch Doctor Who (sometimes with subtitles) and I am familiar with your colloquial phrases . I'm afraid I will have to turn down your invitation for Christmas dinner but thank you anyway

Funny...

You say you invented it, well, yes, US English, do the initials at the start give it away?

Also, I don't see you calling it "US American", how do you explain that?

Also, you said we should standardize, why not standardize to UK english, after all, in the past, the sun never set on the British Empite...

Hello Bondy111: you said, Also, I don't see you calling it "US American", how do you explain that ?

I would attribute that to the magnetic monopole field. Okay you got me, just had to stir something up, after all you guys were talking about throwing shoes.

Should any of you elect to throw shoes at our president, or any other politician for that matter, I must admonish you not to throw shoes, Use a heavy boot, with all the hot air coming out of there mouths, a shoe is bound to be deflected.

Is it just me, or when I visited this thread yesterday, did TVP45 have his location in his profile, and beneath his name?

It was a couple of days ago i think, He had an atom bomb explosion going there for a day, following a long run of a sitting mule.

Probably a new look for a new year.
