Surely Alex and Nicola's People's Republic would be more apt.
Ooo! A little bit of politics there! My name's Ben Elton Nagy Vilmos, good night!

Game of Thrones
I am surprised noone thought of that
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

Everyone thought of that!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Damn, I left my mind-reading hat at home. I didn't see it in the answers of todays MQOTD
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true
|

That's because everyone thought of it, and then thought "nah...too obvious"
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

It's like Musical Chairs for royalty.
It continues until Liz is the only one still seated, and Charlie is foaming at the mouth with annoyance.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I think in Game of Thrones the quote wouldn't include a couldn't but rather something with killing and
birthright or bastards

Why wouldn't Peter Noone[^] think of that? Obviously not posted it though as his tour[^] of North America starts at the weekend.

I like this, although it should not take too long.

So what was the correct answer then Dave?
By the way wasn't "Listen" a good episode if not the best episode ever, what did you think of it?

This September 12 essay in the "New Yorker" by Marc O'Connell, "How to Understand Your Computer" is kind of yet-another-naive-computer-user wondering: "what does it really do," but, I think it's a very worthwhile read because of its exposition of Chandra's ... both novelist and programmer ... thought.
One quote about ... and from ... Chandra in the article:Quote: Chandra brings to bear Sanskrit aesthetic terms such as dhvani and rasa (which might be reductively translated as “resonance” and “affect,” respectively). “Code,” he writes, summarizing the more facile equivalencies drawn between the two forms of expression, "is denotative, [while] poetic language is centrally concerned with dhvani, that which is not spoken; the end purpose of code is to process and produce logic, and any feeling this code arouses in an immediate sense is a side effect … Code may flirt with illegibility, but it must finally cohere logically or it will not work; the language of art can fracture grammar and syntax, can fail to transmit meaning but still cause emotion, and therefore successfully produce rasa. While, overall, I find the essay facile, and, in its brief coverage of Countess Ada and Babbage, shallow, I do appreciate that it's led me to find a very interesting novelist: I hope to read one of his novels, soon.

Meh.
They're all the same. Boy meets girl. Girl has computer. Boy likes computer far too much to suit girl. Computer explodes for no properly explored reason, killing boy. Girl goes shopping.

Hi Roger, That sounds like a very tasty plot to me, thanks.

The plot can be improved and made more realistic by distributing 'Girl goes shopping' between every sentence.

You're right, Vivic, and I think it would make it a bit more believable, too.

Last few days I have answered so many C# and ASP.net,JS and so many other questions on the quick answers section. Some one down voting my every answers if I had working examples on jsfiddle, dotnetfiddle or even users has accepted the answer. He wants to remove me from Top experts in the month and Top experts in the 24 hrs. Some times I had some arguments with some members when answering. I think on of them wants to pull me down. I cant find who is doing that. Help me plz..
