Typical region bias - there's no European '98' setting on the petrol.

That's an aftermarket sticker to cover up the US labels. The US and EU use different octane tests with the result that the same gas has different numbers depending on which side of the pond you're on. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Pffffft - no Coaxial cable plug, how am I meant to attach my Sinclair Spectrum to my iPod nano?

It's covered by the 50lb bag of accessories - didn't you read the mouseover text?

You mean a 50lb bag of "gender changers". That's enough to scare anyone off, unless you want The Snip...

I thought that was the F-connector.

Not for old uk-spec TVs. It's similar, but the wire is shrouded by a bullet-head like metal pin. Plus no thread so it can just fall out over time.

Ah, also no thin ethernet coax (10BASE2) BNC connector.

No. And if that's the price per litre, you can think yourself very, very lucky...
A rough-guess estimate from taht makes the average fuel prince in India around 85 Rupees / litre, which works out at about £0.82p (Google is so helpfull)
I filled up my car yesterday, and it took 43.92 litres, at £1.276, for a total of £55.65p
That's 130 Rupees per litre! And that's the cheaper of the local petrol stations...you can pay a lot more on motorways!

The petrol price is fixed by the evil world government, so the given Indian price is no doubt wrong. Even down in Africa (cue Toto) we pay R14+ per litre.

FAIL. Still won't connect to my MicroVAX -- needs DECconnect MMJ and AUI.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
String str1 = "http://toto.com/";
String str2 = "http://toto.com/";
bool eq = str1 == str2;
Console.WriteLine(eq);
str1 = "http://toto.com/";
str2 = "http://toto.com/";
eq = str1 == str2;
Console.WriteLine(eq);
}
See for yourself, but copy the code, do not retype it. 
I lost hair on this one, bug on an actual project for one customer.
But it is a nice trick to do to one of your collegue if his computer is unlocked... Also works in configuration files. 
This is pure evil though.

Sorry, I got too excited by my discovery, I think it is the biggest WTF invented since iphone.

Ah the beauties of c#
That's why I use String.Equals or Compare.

Not really, it's a trap![^]

Ah, Yes thank you I missed that thread in the WW.

ahah it's not that

Ah, a \u200F (right to left mark). Sneaky sneaky. I've also met the "record separator" (invisible ascii character) before, didn't do that much damage but caused some headaches..
|
|
|
|
|
would you know how to write it with keyboard ?
I have no idea how my customer wrote the character, and he neither. I can only duplicate the problem by copy pasting.

There's an Alt code, but it's one of the weird ones that start with a + and that usually don't work (IIRC there's some obscure setting to enable it). They probably copied it from somewhere.
