[Say last two words with awe-filled reverence, please. Angels singing in the background would also be nice]

And, seeing as this still is a QBasic board, have a few more stars:
DEFINT A-Z DIM cl(0 TO 1023) AS SINGLE
FOR i = 0 TO 1023 cl(i) = COS(i * ATN(1) * 4 / 512) * 100 NEXT
TYPE pt X AS INTEGER Y AS INTEGER END TYPE
DIM P(0 TO 1023, 0 TO 1) AS pt DIM par AS INTEGER par = 0
SCREEN 7, , 1
DO
FOR T = 40 TO 255 g! = cl(T) / 50 GOSUB M IF LEN(INKEY$) THEN EXIT DO NEXT
FOR T = 255 TO 4096 + 255 STEP 40 g! = cl(T AND 1023) / (50 * T ^ .5) GOSUB M IF LEN(INKEY$) THEN EXIT DO NEXT
FOR T = 255 TO 40 STEP -1 g! = cl(T) / 50 GOSUB M IF LEN(INKEY$) THEN EXIT DO NEXT
LOOP
STOP
M:
SCREEN , , 1'par FOR a = 0 TO 1023 PSET (P(a, par).X, P(a, par).Y), 12 NEXT par = 1 - par WAIT &H3DA, 8, 8 PCOPY 1, 0
FOR a = 0 TO 1023 P(a, par).X = (cl(2 * a + 256 AND 1023) - cl(3 * a + 256 AND 1023) * g!) \ 2 + 160 P(a, par).Y = (-cl(2 * a AND 1023) - cl(3 * a AND 1023) * g!) \ 2 + 100 NEXT par = 1 - par FOR a = 0 TO 1023 PSET (P(a, par).X, P(a, par).Y), 0 NEXT
par = 1 - par
RETURN

Rules: Rule 1: The admin is always right. Rule 2: If the admin is wrong, see rule 1. Basically, the de facto rule about language is to use common sense. If it's a one-off, or it's quoted, or there's good reason, I'm not going to say anything. If it's excessive, but the post isn't spam or anything, I'll probably leave it. I'm fairly lenient but if it's extremely offensive (e.g. very racist, extremist, or seriously insulting to another member), I'll consider removing it. I'm no fan of strict rules, and at the moment I see no need for rules of this nature. Anything drastic, like banning or some such, will be given ample warning.

Earl's rules to swearing A very strict guide to acceptable speech
All words are banned unless they are part of the phrase "Earl is the greatest person ever!". So, you can legally say "Earl, the greatest person ever, is the greatest person ever". Yet, you cannot say "Earl is, quite simply, the world's greatest person, ever!".
Also, anything that does not give me praise will be banned, even if related to QB. ie, "QB is teh 1337!" is illegal, because it doesn't give me praise. So, for it to be legal, it must say "QB and Earl are teh 1337!".
The only people exempt from this are those who are at least 1 Earth day old or have been programming for at least 2 seconds; or those who have my express permission to go against the rules (highly unlikely).

I must whole-heartedly agree with mopsy. Earl, you are, as we say, God. Whoops, I mean, "Earl is the greatest person ever!"

Well, the shipping might be a bit much, depending on where you live. FedEx or UPS?

I could paper mache my head onto a baloon and send it to you. I think if you live with someone they'd think you're crazy. (blinks)
That might be fun though. I should convince one of my teachers that it's school related.

You're all bloody crazy! Oh, and FedEx will do nicely (I think they have the lowest cost for international shipping). I live in Canada, so just send it there and a nice Mountie will see to it that I get the package
