I found this video good food for thought (and will probably stir up debate and arguement) Its an hour long, but definitely worth the time. Enjoy

Very interesting, even though you could still argue, we're just lucky enough to be so... lucky.  :p

What's it about?
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Yah, PM an Admin, then when Gooby or someone lets you in, post a link to it out here with the instructions to PM an admin if you're not already a part of the Meeting Hall.  That should work.  :nod:

Didnt even notice that they redid the forums. I guess the debate was too severe to be front and center at HLP. I dont blame them actually.
