You must have won something! You qualified for the world cup in '98. And '90.
Not since, admittedly... But Wales hasn't qualified since before I was born - 1958 was the last time!

I never knew, since usually don't eat Quiche.
But todays Featured Article[^] made me realize that I am.
Pascal was the first language I did something more advanced than "Hello World" in.
Funny how the same discussion goes on still today if you substitute Fortran and Pascal for C# and VB or any languages of your choice.
But the best part is the description of the RPC-4000

Even 11 years ago it wasn't right!!! It's so old that went out of fashion in about 1995. Then with Windows taking command, you got an operating system that use the same parameter passing mechanism that Pascal uses...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

We have a Doric word that sounds like 'Quiche' that we use inplace of it to express our thought of it.
The word is: Keigh[^]

I hate to use the word epic, but that is just, Epic!

Well, it's true, isn't it? You're a database developer, so you're not a REAL programmer, are you? 
Oh no, I once again forgot that you are heavily armed and live in the same country as me. Please forget what I said...

I'm not a real programmer in any case.
I'm a database developer that doesn't like stored procedures, so I stand with one leg in both fields without being good at neither. But I know what you do on which side, so I also know how to get performance.
I also live on the other side of the country, so until I've finished the compulsator I don't think you need to worry.

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Hopefully the (independent) VIRGO[^] array was operational.
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?

The Ordovician-Silurian Mass Extinction Event is thought to have been caused by a GRB
We were lucky that A) It was so far away, 2) Wasn't pointing toward us, and Thirdlymost) that they are so rare that we should not bother worrying about them.

It's only been 4 months and you've already realized it? Great! 
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

I know right.
I'm expecting more realizations for the next months. Like this post.

Hmmmmm,
Now you should attempt to figure out the statistical anomaly behind 2,116 Debater points and 2,135 Organizer points within only 4 months and < 400 messages. Highest probability being that the majority of Debater points came from forum posts bookmarked and the Organizer points from file downloads.
