fark ! ....
what are you writing on ? ..... you'd never see a 100 page paper
in the IEEE journal ... 
Computer analysis of some pipeline....
I wrote a C code 16 pages long, and I couldn't seem to get it to
give the proper answer....
So I thought, never mind.... the lecturer himself did say that
he wasn't expecting all of us to give a full computer solution. And
everyone is using all manner of programming languages.... FORTRAN,
BASIC, MATLAB, you name it.... and those I spoke to pretty much
threw their hands up in disgust and went into F**k It
mode....
