Judge Dredd Movie is Green Lit!

[Steve Green]

EEEEEEE! Indeed.

[planetmirth]

.......

Sorry that reads EEEEEEE in morse code.

Pheww! For a second I thought it was "5I" "HS", or even worse "SH". ;-)

Glad the movie's still on track.

If it was 5I or HS there would be prominent gaps between the dots.

..... ..  5I
.... ...  HS

I'd just like to say .. this board is awesome

Now there's no need for that sort of language!

Beside the same argument would hold up for the 7 Es!

[vzzbux]

not necessarily as there is no character for seven dots. In a Morse code transmission if you make an error and wish to end transmission then it's

EEEEEEEE AR

The fallacy being that this still makes your original 7 Es comment just as wrong (or as I prefer, just as right) as mine - as the error code is 8 dots

That said, it's pulling this thread a tad off topic, so whatever you say, I was merely wanting to build on your original funny comment - not get into a debate.

What's that you say, Elmer Fudd is confirmed as Judge Dredd!!! Are you sure?!

If only they could harness the power of this thread for good

7 3 S K ??????

I suppose I have dragged the morse on a bit, but come the nuclear holocaust you will all be coming to me for your radio communications because with all the interference HF will be the main source of comm's.


CF nice to see your use of morse rather than Dot Dot Dash Dot

It takes me back to my signaling courses. The old Morse Code pass mark was 98%, if I remember correctly. I spent weeks walking about with that crap in my head going insane. Saying that, I found the best way to learn it was with swear words and movie sayings, well it worked for me.

Memories eh!

[vzzbux]

It was part of my job in the army, being Signals, My minimum pass speed was 36wpm receive and 42wpm transmit.
I wonder if they will incorporate morse code into the new Dredd film?

7 3 S K ??????

I was going for 73 = Best Wishes, and SK = End of transmission - though in the last one at least, I believe I shouldn't have put a pause between the S and K. I obviously still have a lot of practicing to do before this nuclear holocaust!

To set all the non-morsecoder's mind at rest - Commando Forces wasn't confirming that Elmer Fudd was going to pay Dredd - though you probably guessed that already

I obviously still have a lot of practicing to do before this nuclear holocaust!

Don't worry - I don't plan on starting anything for the next four years at least
