He sure as hell didn't get them from India, but as my friend Monty would say, the snake in this argument should be a phyton. But to SWALLOW my comment, you have to be the King of Britain in search for the holy grail of/. moderations.
To get back on topic, RE the India thing, i must say, I'm a "Son of the Circus" but this is all in "The World, according to Kong"
You never expected the Spanish Inquisiton, but here it is!;-)
So WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THESE INDIAN ELEPHANTS FROM? Answer, or i'll fetch the comfy chair!
Ts,Ts,Ts. Kids today. Never read something else than comics.
A: He's usually called a "Caesar" not a "Czar".
He's not called "a" Caesar. He was the Caesar, Julius Caesar. He was killed at the idens of March 44 BC, because he wanted to become imperator of Rome. The terms "Czar", "Zar" and "Kaiser" are derived from his name. And also the month of July and until 1513 the Calendar was named the "julian calendar" because he invented or at least ordered it.
Media vaporware is differant. This is when a company floats a concept for potential software around, and somehow the media gets ahold of it. Suddenly, X company is working on Y product that will "revolutionize the modern computing experience," despite it's entire existance on a cocktail napkin thrown out of an executive session. This is dangerous for obvious reasons- now the companies reputation is in the hands of a third party, unbeknownst to them. Rumors start that a product is under development. Company denies product exists. Media reports company is scrapping project, even though it never existed. In this case, the company can not be held responsible for anything, since it's strictly the media which hypes, regardless of what the company says.
All right. But apart from the sanitation, the medecine, education,
wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system, and
public health... What have the Romans ever done for us?
They gave us this fabulous language, called Latin. And now: Fabricate diem, punc
Yes, you would need a virtual lawyer. He must get paid by your virtual law insurance. After that you have to fill in your virtual 404 and go to your virtual work to earn virtual money to pay for your virtual live. At the evening you will eat a virtual chicken. But how do THEY knew how virtual chicken tastes?
I don't know. I take little red pills every evening at 9 p.m., so i don't care anymore.
Mod Parent up. This Song is truely a milestone of evil. MOD HIM UP, so other people see it:-)

Shudder.

I second this emotion!
I installed Karamba 0.15, found it incredible and very Eye-candy. But then i realized I, will never see it, because all my windoze are maximized and strg-tab is my friend.
So it's there on my HD, gets update on apt-get upgrade and i use it to get Ahhhs and Ohhs from my friends:-)

"Yes. They are the words that finally turned me into the hermit I
have now become. It was quite sudden. I saw them, and I knew what
I had to do."
The sign said:
Hold stick near centre of its length. Moisten pointed end in
mouth. insert in tooth space, blunt end next to gum. Use gentle
in-out motion.
"It seemed to me," said Wonko the sane, "that any civilization
that had so far lost its head as to need to include a set of
detailed instructions for use in a packet of toothpicks, was no
longer a civilization in which I could live and stay sane."
These are the words of Douglas Adams to this piece of cake,
About 10 years earlier I saw an ZX-81 "painting" Lissajous figures and I said: "I want to work with computers the rest of my life!".
I had never heard of Oscar Wilde: ""When the gods wish to punish us they answer our prayers" or Aesop:"We would often be sorry if our wishes were granted."
But now I often wonder:"Why didn't I become a carpenter instead?".
Now I am a systems/net/web/help administrator for people who dont grok computers. How sad is this?
Maybe it's just me, but the first time i wished for a real wire protocol for W2k was while installing a new Virusscanner on the file-server in another building on the other side of town. It wouldn't work, until the vendors helpline mentioned, that you couldn't use Terminal Service Client to install it. You had to use the Console and since i didn't know VNC existed, i had to drive around town. Thats what I like to call "Sneaker Administration".
So you have one patent for discussions about articles, one for discussions about items offered for sale, one for discussions about currently played music on the radio, one for discussions about the weather etc..?
How can this not be obvious the same computing principle?
Sorry, but "SELECT (uid, aid) FROM database WHERE...; Make something with SELECT; UPDATE (uid,aid,text) INTO database;" shouldnt be patentable.

The Numbers refer to the original MAN PAGES books 1 to 8. Try Xman on any ***X machine.
>a nearly impossible to cast accurately Protagonist (bad pun)

Nope, the bad pun is intented
But me thinks, Samuel Jackson in his early years may be apropriate, but i fear they will cast Will Smith.
5 years ago Wesley Snipes may have been right, but today ?
