SUPER BATCH

[Geek-9pm]

Oh No. What have I done?
Ecen before the last post by BC, I was doing research to support my position...and...a great flash of revelation came to me! From the most unlikely source. The MS support site. I had never, ever seen this before!

Now I do repent. I have been an Idiot, not a troll.


I could hardly believe it. A summary in a MS search states clearly that BATCH is a programming language like another lessor now wonder.

Look here:

(99060) - For those who don't have any programming background but know the MS-DOS batch language, it is a good path toward learning more sophisticated languages such as BASIC, PASCAL, C ...

Please accept my apology. I am now a believer.

I already explained this. an avocado is a fruit. it has a pit, like a peach or a nectarine.

It's a "drupe" if memory serves.

Well, some people say an avocado is a large berry, but the word "berry" means "fleshy fruit", [edit: so does "drupe"] so it's a fruit.

the line between fruits and vegetables is quite well set.

A fruit is actually the sweet, ripened ovary or ovaries of a seed-bearing plant. A vegetable, in contrast, is an herbaceous plant cultivated for an edible part (seeds, roots, stems, leaves, bulbs, tubers, or nonsweet fruits). So, to be really nitpicky, a fruit could be a vegetable, but a vegetable could not be a fruit.

an Avacado isn't sweet...

[BC_Programmer]

taste is not a defining factor of wether a plant growth is a vegetable or a fruit. As an example, a tomato is a fruit as well.

Vegetables generally don't have seeds within the edible portion- Carrots, celery, tubers, lettuce, broccoli, etc. a fruit, on the other hand, generally grows after the flower has been pollinated and in some instances will provide food for the growing seeds.

an Avacado isn't sweet...

Neither are lemons, limes, chinellos, or Seville oranges, but so what?

[Dias de verano]

We're getting into arguing-the-toss territory. Lock time?

[BC_Programmer]

Silly, it's a sophisticated debate between us and the philistines believing that taste is the single most important trait used to class living creatures. I suppose all primates should be classed according to their flavour.

Hmm, this might make Goats a closer species to humans... worth looking into...
