Primers for Handel-C

A typical post originating from Google groups:-

Hi Solve my problem. Thanx

Searching google reveals the poster has about a dozen posts, none of which are outside threads he started and all bar one of which were started asking 'usenet' to solve his problem.

Why should I (or anyone) be inclined to solve the problem of someone who almost certainly will not even read let alone solve my problems?

Google provides a great usenet archive and search engine, their web based posting facility is providing a bunch of information leeches which will turn usenet into a wasteland of unanswered questions.

I wish I could killfile anyone posting from google, I suggest everyone else ignores them.

Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater! The " vizzie" anonymous poster claims to be a scientist associated with the indian government. He seems to think that newsgroups can be treated like search engines, and he must not have observed the normal style in this newsgroup. So let's give him the benefit of the doubt, and hope that he is young enough to learn.

You already know where Google is on the web. Try the search engine. By the way, leave comp.lang.c out of this. "Handel-C" is completely off-topic here.

Good advice which I suspect will be read by almost no one accessing usenet via google groups. When I look at posts coming from google groups it is rare to find one in a thread which was not started by the poster.

Hi All,

I am really sorry to annoy the members of the group with my posts. I have recently started using Usenet groups and learning about their usage.

Thank-you for the constructive suggestions of you all.

(sorry. flashback.)

Can anyone report their experiences on how efficient Handel-C's FPGA designs are, compared to direct VHDL designs? I prefer to use a programming language to specify my state machine, because I can think more efficiently about the problem that way. However, I'm concerned about how clean the ultimate design will be. I'm assuming that Handel-C when processed produces VHDL. I have the impression that if you don't constrain your self correctly in your use of Handel-C, you can end up with bulky hardware.

Whatever Handel-C is, it's not topical on comp.lang.c.

Dear mr nospam,

I agree as well, unfortunatly the same goes with other online media too, like the

was good until yahoo did buy them, now it (yahoo groups) is total crap, similarly many unmoderated mailing lists have very high noise of people asking help for homework, etc..

In order to have better communication media I have always dreamed to have my own news server, which is now finally setup - its not open for public as I have not yet managed to complete the news server authorisation setup and some other admin tasks, but I plan to announce it ASAP, for anyone interested or having good advice please respond either to usenet or to snipped-for-privacy@openchip.org specially if somebody can help setting up the readers.conf file would be great help for me. The news server is running on my root-server under suse 9.1, I think the latest INN is installed as news server.
