YOU don't think it is?? Who are YOU?
===================
I'm 77 YO and since you asked me publicly, I'll finally answer and if I'm
wrong then I'll stand corrected.
Bill Simms, financial manager, and I (computer professional) in 1971 created
and implemented the very first billing and revenue software for
International Communications Satellite. A project they said couldn't be
done. Especially the tv part. Well, we started with tv and the rest was
easy, video/voice/data. It was done on punched cards and a tape-driven IBM
mainframe and it lasted 17 years.
I not only can read (with dictionary) the Torah in English/Hebrew/Spanish
but also in all the forms of the real lingua frenca which consists of only
two characters: plus/minus a range of volts. Everything we are
communicating at the instant is actually in the form of this electronic
language. In my daze it was 5 volts, today I think it's 3 volts. The
languages are called COBOL, FORTRAN, JAVA:)
My problem with the whole electronic language is do we have a U.N.
definition of the precise voltage? It sure would help the energy and cost
of communications for the U.N. to do this. They can do it in the name of
Jesus or Muhammad or RaMBaM. I don't care, but just do it:)
first comes emet, then comes shalom, then and only then can there be love.
