To get the camera in the air, there are basically three options: a balloon, a kite, and a rocket....or a helicopter or a plane or a trebuchet or a ballista or a bow and arrow or a bird or...
I agree with you about the "big pig singlethreaded" thing, but that doesn't *actually* mean it won't work: provided you have a beefy enough server, I'm not aware of any reason why Excel can't run on it.
Even so, personally I would use this technique for pages that are updated periodically rather than on the fly.
This may not be ideal for you, and its a bit of a kludge, but others might find it interesting... It's relatively trivial to use VBA to get Excel to generate a nifty graph. Now use the 'save as html' format and it will save a nifty gif of the graph. I have written a wrapper for this process which means I can pass in a dataset and end up with a reference to the graph file.
But, a quick search on dictionary.com for the word 'mail' shows that there is some evidence for the word having its origins in Old French. Whether this applies for the postal usage (versus in the context of armour for instance) I don't know. Any actual linguists have any more info on this?
This article states that "Some words inevitably crossed national borders - l'Académie française failed to impose the word courriel as an alternative to email or mail (the Frenchified spelling mél is sometimes used)."
I can understand why the French don't like the English words creeping into their language (e.g. le parking, le weekend), but these words aren't replacing French words, they are used for new concepts. If the French want to get a chance to use French words for new things, then perhaps they should invent some new things of their own.

Scrub that. Yesterday was 36.0C.
Hell. Has it ever NOT rained in London?
There is no way you would be saying this if you were actually in London at the moment. Wednesday was the hottest day ever recorded at 35.4C.
Are you having trouble at home, dear? You seem very agitated.

I don't claim to be an expert, but yes, I believe there are ways. Thanks for your contribution.

I rest my case.
...when you consider that the globe would be smoother than a squash (or racket) ball if it were shrunk to the same size.
At last, some valid criticism!

1. Bollocks. My technique uses Excel to generate a *gif* file which can then be included in a web page for viewing in any browser.
2. Irrelevant, given 1.
Without trying to sound rude: Bollocks. Try reading the posts before replying to them.

Aha. Good point. ...Forth, Fife, 6, Severn...
However, it is the Forth bridge. The nearly-a-number names got me confused.
Could be the Severn Bridge (famously so long that once they finish painting it, it needs painting again)
IANAL (...linguist)
