I think you mean "went" and I wish there was a very brief plain text summary rather than a long video that I don't have time to watch. Anyway, I enjoyed the token ring comic and don't have strong feelings about the cartoonist now that he's gone.

John Ousterhout is a distinguished voice in the field, so I'll read up more carefully than just this piece from El Reg.

Definitely an art deco feel to the interior when I disregarded later model telephones and apparatus. Poirot himself would waddle in and be right at home.

>> I can't image how bad this is for some people

Nothing against you but when you get right down to it, people worrying about their ratios vs people dying in a war zone?

Twelve-step groups have been using ''sober'' and ''sobriety'' for almost 100 years. In this day and age its surprising to see some confusion about what those terms can mean.

Everyone north of the U.S. border calls it the ''Canadarm'', of course. I hope they get it sorted after it has been operating for more than a decade beyond its longevity spec.
