I see that Microsoft may be moving into the sub-porn industry: http://www.flx-tech.net/2006/11/zune_on_early_sale_at_bestbuy_1.html This should serve as a salutary warning about imagery as well as words. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson

Re: Careful

This sounds like something I once got in trouble for doing in the 5th grade (namely, compile a dictionary of swear words). My teachers were not amused... Seriously, though, somebody's actually written a book on the subject: _The Anatomy of Swearing_ M. F. Ashley Montagu (1967). _Why We Curse:

This might sound daft, BUT: It might not be a bad thing (especially for the benefit of non-native speakers of English) if a list of rude words were drawn up and made available to RR developers: a guide to words best eschewed in code. To back this up we only need to consider the recent misundersta

Bullocks are, indeed, castrated bulls (other words for them are: steers, stirks) - but the same word spelt with an 'O' rather than a 'U' refers to testicles. Personally, I don't really give a "bucket of boks" what people write in their code if: 1. it works and 2. it doesn't eat up so many p
