"If you're willing to settle for a gravity-containment reactor burning protons, with 1 AU inverse-square shielding, fusion power has gone far beyond proof-of-concept and into commercial production in many fields."

"The Hole Man" by Larry Niven. Our heros discover an alien comunications system on Mars, which turns out to be a vibrating quantum black hole. Wiggle the black hole and generate modulated gravity waves.
Not only does this not work because gravity waves propogate at finite speeed, it doesn't work because black holes as small as the one described in the story evaporate via Hawking radiation very rapidly.
I got some mail a while back with the subject line "30 days free of Asian sluts." Oh, I thought wistfully to myself, to be free of Asian sluts for 30 days...

I will concead this point, sir, the day you can come up with a more completely awesome rhyme for "Robitussin" than "Reganomic Repercussion."

Actually that sounds really useful - I can put it in
a bulk download script and avoid picking up junk non
pornographic images.

Bill Fucking Gates has to swing by the fucking ATM on his way home.
I think, relative to net worth, I put more in the parking meter this morning.
Recent versions of GCC are actually smart about
simple cases of tail recursion and are probably
smart enough to expand the call into a loop.
So a rough estimate as to the total storage space it would require is 1.44x1043 bytes.
Or, to put that figure in a more human perspective, approximately the
aggregate capacity of all the AOL CDs you've thrown out since 1993.
Since my favorite language is VB ( watch the flames poor in on that statement)
:)
I think you probably mean "pour," though there's not likely to be much meat left for the
grammer Nazis after that VB remark.
You might take a look at GVD, the GNU Visual Debugger,
which can generate graphs of datastructures.

What? Name one.
