If one understand "works" as "demonstrating code without boring someone who is waiting on it to do something
Why would a 1 second wait be particularly boring?
I thought the object of the game was to see the bounce. Each one second move of the asterisk added up to 10 seconds to get to the bounce. That got excessive before the second bounce was on the horizon. And if one is tracing the code to see how it works, sitting there for one second nine times to get to the bounce is just wasting time.
I suppose this makes sense, depending on each individual's own POV.
I am still placing the nick eukat and its derivatives under ignore, to protest your decision to use that name, <snip>
So you have a problem with the nick "useless", and "eukat" too? Gosh, i haven't used eukat on irc in 1 year, 17 weeks, 2 days, 6hours, it's remarkable you remember to be offended by it! Perhaps you could tell me a nick you and unkmar would approve of, so you would not have me on ignore despite my contributions being useful.
That was the result of an overaggressive spell checker. I've edited the previous post to fix that.
I don't have eukat on ignore. Only useless and its derivatives. Virtually any other nick would reach me. (I do have other nicks and ips in my ignore list, for reasons that I don't really want to go into.)
I did not "sign" that post with that nick, i signed it with the most truely descriptive i have: useless. It's a nick well suited to one on your ignore list, isn't it? And by editing my post to change my signature, invalidating my decision to use that nick, you are making my decision useless.
It's sorta like you are making sure i am useless by ignoring me, which is sorta ironic.
eukat
My decision to use the spell checker in this manner was done in reaction to this post:

You won't be the first today to call me names like useless
Simply because Derek had used the auto-quoting in the previous post:
