Ark? Isn't that the thingy Noah built to impress his neihbors. Seems like it worked untill Bill Gates started building Windows(way larger undertaking and has more holes in it.).

Re: what is ark ?
ARK (Ark is Really Kool) is basically an inter-process communication wrapper. Basically, it encases the MAMMALS (Multiple Attribute Mini Message Alternate Language Symbols) in couplettes enroute to the other process. The ARK wrapper Looks for the appropriate entry in the LAND(Logical Alternative Number Directory) for the process that is trying to reach and then tries to connect with a DOVE(Does Other Voice Exist) signal to that process. Each ARK lasts for approximately 40 cycles before timing out. --Mike

[This is something that causes quite a bit of confusion among IT workers since ARKs *always* precede FLOODs, but suffice to say that ARK being observed to precede FLOOD therefore caused FLOOD would be, of course, to stoop to post-hockery (post hoc, ergo propter hoc -- after the fact, therefore because of the fact). But that is another subject entirely.] -Chris
