DD thinks that the moon landings were faked, the rockets flew to the moon unmanned and that the divers only petended to pull out the astronauts (who obviously were hiding in the helicopter).
Also, we all know that Tom Hanks was aboard Apollo 13. 
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I got one of them yesterday, hadn't looked at it until you just reminded me.
My May - July Value Statement;
I enjoy unlimited weekend calls to family and friends.
I tucked into 113 hours of TV channels.
I enjoy superfast broadband with unlimited downloads.
I don't understand that, my missus watches all the soaps every bloody night, she must have racked up more telly time than that. Plus she's off work and so no doubt has Jeremy Kyle or Come Dine With Me on all day every day whilst I'm at work.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Maybe they calculate the TV hours by entertainment -- i.e. there's absolutely no entertainment value in soaps, so they don't count toward the total.

640GB ought to be enough for anybody.

Just spoke to a colleague and his virgin media value statement showed that he downloaded over 1163Gb over his Internet connection.

And he was away for a month, with only his teenage son at home?

No he's in his 20's and is an avid pc gamer along with his house mates.

Wow. I'm a gamer; but most of the ~100GB/month I download is actually data being consumed by Einstien @ Home[^].
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?

I logged onto my provider (BT) and clicked the "your usage" and it simply popped up a message.
"You are on a totally unlimited package............you have nothing to worry about" or words to that effect.
really helpful!

What's the point of bandwidth if it's not used?

Peter Norvig is the Director of Research at Google. He has an interesting home page[^]:
This site contains technical papers, essays, reports, software, and other materials by Peter Norvig.
Somebody mentioned his site on Quora (the question was, "what's the best websites a programmer should visit?" and can you imagine, no one had mentioned Code Project? Well, that's remedied now.)
Anyways, some of Norvig's stuff looks interesting.

I liked his paper on "Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years", I had never heard anyone's thoughts on the subject.

He certainly does a good job debunking the myth of "... in 21 days." From what I've perused so far, his other writing is equally well thought out.

He definitely is all over the programming spectrum from my brief scan of his site. Good reference!
