I asked for one that would be difficult. I'm sure that there are terms that would be difficult to implement in Crafty. But you only know that they're difficult because you're familiar with Crafty. If you were also familiar with DB, it should only take you a minute or two to think of a difficult term to implement. >>What? You can't name one term? That shows that: >>A) you don't know very much about DB's design at all >>B) you haven't even thought about it very hard >It really shows that you simply have nothing to add to the discussion. >The main problem would be moving large amounts of data around in one clock. >But he doesn't have to do that... so shoot.. name something that would be >hard.

Why should I name something that's hard? I never claimed to know all about DB. I was just thinking of an extremely easy way for you to prove that you know all about DB, but you totally blew it. >No...

Don't confuse Tae Kwon Do for Karate. You practice a cheap Korean knock-off. And if you disagree, it shows that you know nothing of the history of TKD. >When you graduate, you know everything. 10 years later you will be surprised >at how much you _don't_ know.

So let's see, I need to earn two more degrees and hang out for 10 years and then I get to be a EE? I hope I don't starve during that time due to my lack of useful skills. -Tom
