I graduated from UNT in '03 and took more than three semesters of COBOL for my degree. :) Employers are desperate for COBOL proggers.

Oopsie! Here you go...

Code: Select all

<?php
     if ($person != UpToAnyGood) then {
          $person = leaves;
          $phone = police;
          } else {
               $pistol = 1911;
               $cartridges = (7 + 1);
               $bang = $cartridges;
               do {
                    $bang++;
                    echo $bang. "<br />";
               while ($bang < 9);
               }
          $person = shot;
          $reload = 7;
          $phone = morgue;
          }
?>

Is that better?

I know you're being funny. . . but I was taught "shoot until the threat is stopped". Anytime I do mental scenarios, I plan on firing in twos while continually assessing the threat. Is there a general consensus around here?

In this instance, I'd probably engage the BG, but only fire if he turned his focus towards me and became a legitimate threat to me or my family. If he flees in the other direction, I'll just try to remember as many facts as possible.
