A simple and basic question

[skimask]

Seems you are really used to psychiatric advice.
One thing is sure : your doubts are really boring ... and have been boring for too long a time.
Sorry not to be one of the SuperTrent's fans ...

Anyone for a SuperTrent-Non-Fan Club?

Don't ever try pleading insanity Alain, I guarantee it'll backfire as usual.

You know I really should update my profile on here -- I'm actually no longer doing a science degree (it's beyond my ability), instead I'm now doing the b.tech degree (bachelor of information technology)

But Jeremy (skimask) ...

The biggest difference between you and I is that I have nothing to hide, whereas you obviously do to some extent. Your public profile is blank, not even a mention of your location (there used to be), and you seem to go off the rails when ever someone calls you by your name! Incidentally I have recently discovered that your profile did contain some information at one stage, you stated that your location was North Dakota I believe.

Ya know, I was going to PM this, but screw it...This might be good for a few laughs...and it's my B/Day and I feel froggy (of course that last fishbowl doesn't help things either! )

Listen up there Trent Jackson, UNEMPLOYED COLLEGE STUDENT, and Supa-Genius (think back to the ol' Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons) and listen good and hard...Surely your continuous (continuing I might add) institutional education and your connections have enabled you to listen and listen well, even if the average person has to yell up to your level...UP as in the angle sense...as in the vertical sense.
I had a problem with ID theft awhile back that I just recently got fixed...not your standard ID theft either (credit cards, bank accounts, etc), this jerkoff enlisted in the U.S. Navy as me. So all of the sudden, I went from a 20+ year USAF MSgt to a 1 year Seaman Basic, credentials gone, pay grade gone, test scores out, clearances---C'ya!...blah blah blah blah.
I may go 'off the rails' when somebody calls me by name (which I earned that nickname about 20+ years as a result of a cold cold winter and numerous strong beverages), but...well, I don't go into some crazy psycho B.S. rambling crap-ola... Emptying out a profile here is one of the least of my worries when it comes to that whole ID thing...but every little bit of cleaning out information couldn't hurt...

And "Ted's"...if you hang out here enough (which you obviously haven't yet), you'll figure out that Acetronics (Alain) is one of the more educated people around here. So while you're having problems figuring out exactly how many cycles a simple loop runs, all it really takes is a look at the .lst file generated by the compilation process and a bit of math would easily give you your answer. And figuring out how to use MPSIM is a good thing. After all, I don't think anybody here has YOUR hardware, with YOUR configuration. So, even if we were able to give you a correct answer for the majority, who knows...something in YOUR configuration might be just a tad bit off and cause you to have a completely different answer. So, the only true answer is for you to handle it yourself.
And besides that, Alian is absolutely right...your first post is an unanswerable question without having a definition for A.
And while this Trent Jackson, while obviously educated in certain things, sits WAY up there, with his big words and his big acronyms and big medical terms...

Ahhhhhh......that was good.....and I feel.....well, a year older...
