Surely the question is why the OP thought it necessary to resurrect a 3 year old story at all, especially as we now have the quite remarkable Space X footage to hand. I mean, what next? Stunning photos of footsteps on the moon?

That can be found here[^]. It is from 2011.

I actually heard an Indian doctor, in a hospital here, say to an Indian patient: "Sorry, I don't speak Punjabi".

Nice one, in light of current events.

Give the guy a break. It's not like it's the first time it's happened. Australia's Next Top Model did the same 5 years ago and UK announced the wrong Eurovision Song Contest candidate some years before to name just two. And it looks like he just read what was on the teleprompter so it may not even be his fault at all.

Definitely not his crowning glory.

If he did would we call him Harvey Dent?

It didn't, but I still went for it!

I do some ASP.NET MVC dev and web services at times and today I stumbled upon this great book by K. Scott Allen about HTTP.
I have a Kindle so it's free to read which is really nice.
Technical Writing Brilliance
Anyways, the book is a great example of what technical writing should be:
1. lead you into the technology
2. provide specific details of the technology but don't blather
3. short (correct length -- explain it and get out)
4. inexpensive
If you do any web dev you should check it out.
Have any of you read this book?

Thanks, just bought a Kindle copy, for a decent USD6. Looks like a great read; I think most of us just use HTTP, without knowing enough of the actual workings, then we get stuck pouring over some RFP for hours of trial and error when there is a more technical than usual problem.

I find it fascinating how it becomes really easy to see which days are clear, foggy, cloudy, or rainy.

Hagiophobia seems to be the closest-named phobia. It is the fear of saints or holy things.

Isn't that "being a vampire"?
