Re: Bitwise ops in RPG

[Jim Langston <jimlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hans,

Did you count bubble punches?  I bet if you recounted the votes
infix would get more votes.  I know it would!  I'll take it to
the supreme court to get the bubble punches counted!

Any bets on how many states will have electronic voting in the
next presidential election?  <grin>

Well, the only drawback is that if we had infix we could make
our own bifs if we wanted.  But with bifs we can't make our own
infixes.  

I guess it's a closed discussion though.

Regards,

Jim Langston
