It's been...what...most of five months since we've had any fodder for speculation and rampant rumor-mongering and a month and a half since the 'submarine operating in coastal waters' screen shot?  The least you could do it finally admit the request for Brewster information was misdirection.

:D

Misdirection?

Only if you aren't paying attention!!

Brewster.

The first letter is "B"

"B" is the second letter in the alphabet. ==2

Brewster is one word, so add "1" to the amount of letters in the word Brewster and you come up with "9".

So the solution to the next plane is elementary--- B-29

I actually had a "little" help.

With the state of the world economy being what it is today, I recently purchased BlueGene/L from Lawrence Livermore on E-Bay for a song.

So with a combination of BlueGene/L, an old abacus I had laying around and a large bag of mushrooms, it was a snap!!

Just my opinion but, if I had a business (which I do) that depended on my clientele purchasing a service that I'm supplying I think it would be to my best interest to let that clientele know when I was trying to improve that service and in which way. So why would all these updates and adds be so much of a secret. I'm just not understanding why there is such a secretive and hush hush attitude toward the improvements there trying to make for us. Can anyone please clear this up for me?

You obviously don't have clientle like this.  Every syllable posted by HTC is dissected, scanned, prodded, taken to every extreme, misinterpreted, and outright misquoted.  Heck, we can't even ask for updates without slipping in some jabs at the various camps, eh?

On the other hand, it's nice to hear from Pyro every month or so, even if it's just a "Yup, still working.  Gonna be cool."

...of course then the community picks it up and determines Pyro's beer cooler is on the fritz, but still keeping a negative differential temperature gradient on the keg...

Imagine 2000 kids in a station wagon screaming 'Are we there, yet!??!'.
Imagine 2000 other kids in the same station wagon screaming 'Can we go here, instead?'
Imagine yet another 2000 kids in the same station wagon screaming 'That won't work because of xxxx!'
Imagine all 6 thousand kids screaming 'so and so touched me!,  so and so is looking at me,'.. and 'I gotta go NNNNOOOOOWWWWW!!!!'


That, fine sir, is why HTC never tells us any details about where we're going for vacation.

Not saying you weren't.  Just many here.  I agree that it would be nice to see some updates on progress that is being made.  However, I know that we play here at HiTechs pleasure and I wouldn't want to make the AH gods mad at me.   :D
