It irks me too, but I generally ignore it. I have no issue with marketers calling a 1MB capacity 1.2MB to make it seem larger than it really is, that really doesn't matter and they've been doing that since computers became consumer commodities (and megabytes became affordable by the Great Unwashed Public), but there is just no need for some stupid new term, and if they want a new term then they should apply it to their meaning, not the existing one.

800 years since Magna Carta which embodied British Law and moved us away from the French Code.
600 Years since Agincourt where 5000 English Soldiers defeated the 36,000 soldier of France.
200 Years since Waterloo where our great commander The Duke of Wellington kicked Napolean's arse.
70 Years since VE Day when we won the war and Saved France's arse.
50 Years since Winston Churchill died, the man that stood up to the Hun and in the course of doing so embarrassed the French and sunk their entire navy.
Apparently Paris is doing very little by way of celebrating these momentous occasions.

They've done OK[^]
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Rubbish. The Brits got kicked out of USA because of assistance from the French, just to mention one.

if(this.signature != "")

MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

I made a few abortive attempts at a Paris Hilton joke, but my head is thick with cold, none of them were working, and I cannot be bothered now.

He actually meant Paris Hilton, not the town.

If you are to compare him to any statesman, would not Kim Jong-un be more accurate?

Movie Quote Of The Day
There is something about you. Something you carry, something made of gold... but far more PRECIOUS...
Which movie?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's made of gold,
Precious it is,
It came from the mount Doom
One Ring it is..
[EDIT]
I was trying this to resemble the riddles from that movie, but couldn't think of anything creative.. 
[/EDIT]
Ok, I know the way out..
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

Well it was rather recent so anyone who saw it would probably recognize the quote. If not from current movies, from the ones that came before.
|
|
|
|
|
Cold be hand and heart and bone
and cold be sleep under stone
never more to wake on stony bed
never, till the Sun fails and the Moon is dead
In the black wind the stars shall die
and still be gold here let them lie
till the Dark Lord lifts his hand
over dead sea and withered land.
(It took me more than a while to find the original version, I know by heart only the Italian adaptation)

Its about Smaug and about Bilbo.

The Dentist.
(It's funny that I saw it yesterday - again - as my wife wanted, but not alone. Not The Dentist but the real one  )
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
