Okay, last update (no really), the Perl script is now down to
76 characters. It's now shorter than a standard 80-character
width terminal line (does this qualify it as a Perl "one-liner"?).
You could even fit it on an old IBM punchcard (http://www.facade.com/legacy/punchcard/?val=%24%2F%3D%5C4%3Bmap%7B
%3FOS%2F2%3F%7C%24f%26%26%24f%2B%2B%3D%3D2%3F%24c-%3D2%2Bvec%28%24_
%2C0%2C32%29%2F4%3A%2B%2B%24c%7C%7Cs%2F..%2F%5C0%5C0%2Fs%3Bprint%7D
%3C%3E)
(well, ignoring character-set limitations).
I've decided it's safe to remove the table directory position
check when searching for the "OS/2" string as it's extremely unlikely
for there to be a collision with the offset, length, or checksum
values. A TrueType file would need to be greater than 1GB in order
for a offset/length collision, and the 1 in 4 Billion chance of
matching a 32-bit checksum seems probabilistically remote enough
to be ignored.
$/=\4;map{?OS/2?|$f&&$f++==2?$c-=2+vec($_,0,32)/4:++$c||s/../\0\0/s;print}<>

That's good. I hope I see it on some crappy home-made t-shirts! |

I've made a few more optimizations to the above. It's now
down to 88 bytes.
$/=\4;for(<>){!(++$c&3)&/OS\/2/|$f&&$f++<3?$p=3+vec($_,0,32)/4:$c-$p||s/../\0\0/s;print}

completely unrelated:
i don't know if it matters to you or if you already knew about it, but i noticed while i was trying to design a t-shirt at 99dogs.com that in their "design workbench" you can use your font "signal to noise" in your design process. there could be other fonts of yours in use there, but i don't know. that's the only one i saw. just a heads up for whatever it may be worth. |

The reasons for the lies about the origins of Thanksgiving go deep into culture, psyche, and religion and are covered in depth in Loewen’s book. One thing is for sure: the true history of Thanksgiving reveals some very embarrassing facts.
The most remarkable part of the story may be that the Pilgrims did not even introduce the tradition of Thanksgiving in America. It wasn't until 1863 that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed it a national holiday. The fabricated story of the Pilgrims was not even included in the holiday until the 1890s. The term “Pilgrim” was not even used until the 1870s.
The environmental and social devastation wrought by the European invaders of North America continues today. Oil company explorers, miners and loggers continue to introduce disease to the isolated indigenous cultures of South American and Southeast Asia.
The myth of Thanksgiving has created a false sense of self in Americans that has done great damage throughout the world. It has resulted in seeds of racial hatred and white superiority being planted in the minds of schoolchildren. It is an insult to us all, especially since most Americans are ignorant of the truth, even though the facts about the grave robbing, Indian enslavement and murder, and the plagues, were common knowledge among the settlers of New England.
Loewen gives us excellent reasons why we should seek out the truth of American history. If the conflicts of the true story were revealed, he says, then “students might discover that the knowledge they gain has implications for their lives today. Correctly taught, the issues of the era of the first Thanksgiving could help Americans grow more thoughtful and more tolerant, rather than more ethnocentric.”
We can redefine Thanksgiving for ourselves and our family. We can make it a day when we not only give thanks for the bounty we have received, but a day when we acknowledge the injustices that have been done and still are being perpetrated on so many people and animals in the world.
After feasting, we could choose a way for our families to help lessen the suffering of some creature somewhere in the world, animal or human.
We must remember these tragedies as we shape the new millennium. With genetically engineered bacteria, crops and animals being created every day, are we risking a biological devastation like the Indians experienced?
We must examine how we are using this stolen gift of a nation. As life support systems crumble and species become extinct every day, can we really say we have learned anything in the last 500 years?
Happy Thanksgiving.

I have created a short Perl version of Tom's embed program. It
weighs in a 99 bytes. Here it is --
$/=\4;while(<>){!(($c+=4)%16)&/OS\/2/|$f?$f++==2?$p=12+unpack "N",$_:$c==$p?s/../\0\0/s:0:0;print;} |

Yeah, interchangeable lenses is important for me so I can do macro photography (the next purchase) and get cool features like image stabilization (we'll see...). D60 was really expensive, but now that I've played around with it for a few days I see why! Some pictures soon... |
| |
I tried both the D60, Sony F707 and Nikon DX, thanks to some friends
of mine. In the end, I bought the F707. Unless you crave for
interchangeable opticals (which I think you do), there's an abyss
between F707 and the rest, in terms of quality/price. D60 and
Nikon DX give you immediate high quality, and lots of professional
settings, but in the end with the F707 and good++ photoshop skills,
you can really be a pro at a very low price. |
| |
Yeah, dpreview is pretty good. That's where I learned all about the D60, which is what I ordered on Thursday! |

Yeah, I saw this off Memepool a while back. Juggler is definitely my favorite, as he appears to have a learning disorder.

Wooyaa, i got my whole school addicted to the robots, but there is also a dark evil cult of fuzzybunny lovers attempting to take over our robot loving ideal! This must be stopped! Death to fuzzy bunnies!
DIIEEEE.... *gets shot by fuzzy bunny*

Lawyers who make deliberately misleading and/or wrong claims in order to intimidate people are NOT good. It is dishonest, period. |

Hey now.. lawyers are good people. They have a job to do. IF you wish to lather your ire upon someone, lampoon those that hired said layer(s). |
