Perl 1.0?

    a dromedary has one, a bactrian has two, both dromedary and bactrian are camels. Anybody dares to mod this +1 informative?

    I've always wondered about this construction: "The title says it all." The person then goes on to discuss something about it, as in "[t]here's a tiny blurb over..." Does the title say it all or not?

    Also on my annoyance list: "Needless to say." If it's needless to say, then why say it?

    Have you seen what the submitter's username (James A. A. Joyce) is a link to? Trollse.cx, a parody of goatse.cx featuring a picture of Eric S. Raymond on its front page.

    I don't get it. Can you rephrase your post in a form that doesn't read like a down syndrome retard bashed his keyboard with his forehead?

    Thanks,
