    Anyone notice that itanium is just titanium without a t?

    Xeon is xenon without an n.

    I wonder what element Pentium came from and if we can expect dancing Utherfordium dolls or Assium Inside stickers.

    Huh. I wonder what sort of value system I violated to get the negative moderation of the parent? Sometimes the moderation system reminds me of some sort of twisted Victorian Era ethos, where one's peers are forever finding excuses to pass judgement.

    Seems a natural human trait to seeks low cost methods to feel superior. And the current moderation system seems to fit the bill nicely. the end result are scores that emerge from neurotic reflexes, rather than literary or informational quality.
