I perceive phenomena like this as a reflection of the insanity of this world, certainly of the contemporary insanity of the country where I was born.
But, then, I ask myself if it is my own insanity leads me to select such things to perceive from the infinite flux of things-which-could-be-perceived. After all, what is the consciousness with which I perceive this reality except the product of my culture with all its insanity, and sanity, and the product of my genes with all their evolutionary agendas and stratagems ?
Unfortunately, I have only one personality at present, so no one replies to my question.

"What Turing gave us for the first time (and without Turing you just couldn't do any of this) is he gave us a way of thinking about and taking seriously and thinking in a disciplined way about phenomena that have, as I like to say, trillions of moving parts.
Until the late 20th century, nobody knew how to take seriously a machine with a trillion moving parts. It's just mind-boggling." Daniel C. Dennett

I've got a couple of spare one I could send you if you think they'd be handy?
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.
English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

I will admit to using the company's Baconnaise on sandwiches, and I have a bottle of bacon salt in my pantry (it is quite good over popcorn.) I have even given their bacon-scented sunscreen as a joke gift; apparently, it works quite well and can be a great conversation starter on the beach.
I think I will pass on the pit roll, though.

I was late into work and explained I had to go for a medical examination.
"Prostate?" asked my boss.
"No," I said, "I had to bend over his desk".

I will recommend taking the white one that seems to have sleeves that are too long and some sort of belts attached to it.
Here let me help you tie into that

Let's hear it for good old Leslie.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

I recently built the shared-mime-info Database[^] for Windows using MinGW-w64. I have also created a C# library for loading and getting data from the database.
If anyone wants, I can put the library, the latest (as of this writing) version of the database, and the update-mime-info executables I built on Github.
I currently have to do some testing to make sure everything works as expected, but I think things should work. The mime data file format is rather simple.
EDIT: Changed tense. build != built

John Cole's Ulster brogue and trademark overcoat were familiar to television news viewers throughout the 1980s.
He was the BBC's political editor throughout most of the Thatcher era when the political landscape of Britain changed irrevocably.
Respected and honest, rare attributes in the Westminster Village.

I liked John Cole, he was a stalwart of the Political Press and was forensic in his questioning.

Hi All,
I hoping to ask the hive mind of Bob what the Elephant happened to a PC that was part of a test rig built some years ago. When dragged from stores (aka dump!) it booted to XP as expected then as it was finishing the boot up sequence tries to run everything via Acrobat. It seems the moment the desktop loads to associate everything with Adobe Acrobat. No, it has never been near an internet connection, I'm wondering if a virus could cause this behaviour all the memory stick that have been near are mine and I did find a couple of W32 Trojans on it as I was retiring it.
