What temperature? What scale?
I was a CS major a year before it was offered. My work study program had me as an insultant in the keypunch archipelago. There is nothing like "helping" a Civil Engineering professor with four, two thousand card trays of FORTRAN snow melt model.
He showed me multiple pages of FORTRAN, explaining as he went. Then he stood bolt upright, said "Oh! S*IT!!!" and disappeared.
Earned my money that day, I did.

If you didn't, don't worry. I earned two and only got one, so it all evens out in the end.

If'n yer gonna psot from AUE y'all rawlly should call it a "programme", what with bein' Englysshe, and all.
Tralfamador is a place in "Slaughterhouse Five", the title of the story we were discussing in this thread.
Trafalgar has nothing to do with the discussion in this thread.
So my question stands, and it is directed at you.
My answer to your question is "Of course I know what we are discussing here.".
You apparently still do not.
That should have been "Is speaking to natives..." as in the form of a question, nothing to do with "I" speaking to natives (totally incorrect grammar).
But it was a joke about the way the poster worded the remark.
Bwuahahahahahaha!
All those cards and what do they mean today?
I wear two 4GB thumb drives around my neck, and have a 12GB FLAC - OGG player that dangles there as well.
Won't be long, I'll have a Dick Tracy styled video cell phone on my wrist. I was reading comic strips when you were punching out FORTRAN cards!
Give me an HD DVD ROM burner any day!
Send me to Mars and give me a data stream and a disc burner, and I'll be able to watch fresh movies throughout my trip!
The world has indeed come a long way... or not...
It's all relative.
There no "Toga" city in the state of North Virginia.

You seem to think that authors only go to places that exist in their fictional creations. I can't help wondering what fictional work you believe this discussion to be taking place in.

I never stated that we were "in" a fictional work here. I remarked about WHAT we were discussing here, not that "here" was some place mentioned in what we were discussing.
You need help, son.
Is No. 6 "Profit!"?
(I need to know for a prospectus.)
You get paid for this?
For loose dongles, or table legs?
One just cannot go 'round with one's dongles loose.
...Except that by now it does.
