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.

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.

Yeah right, like Tracey Emin's 'art'.

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..

Only the admins know - and they don't tell.
It may be a stalker - someone you have annoyed- or it may be someone who is looking through all the answers and doesn't like yours. It happens. Or it could be that your answers are rubbish - I don't know, I haven't looked.
Ignore it. If it's a stalker, then your bringing attention to it gives him an impetus to continue: it shows him it is working, so it encourages him to carry on downvoting you. Improve your answers and ignore the downvotes.

I cant' tell about stalker, but by looking in the last 10 answers the second guess is not far from truth...
I myself felt the urge in my fingers to hit him...I overcame...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Yes, I agreed with you. and if you looked on ,y last 10 answers 5 answers are accepted. Any way will see. I dont want to go back. I just wanted to help others from my knowledge and improve my as well using their questions.

Thank you for the advice Griff. I will do that and continue answering. Decided to wait and see. I dont want to gather reputation . I just wanted to help people from my knowledge and improve my knowledge as well by answering. I can accept down votes of he has put a comment on that. Then I can think of issue of the answer.

That's why I don't downvote often, and almost always leave a reason.
I'm not fond of the "attitude" that anonymous downvotes and abuse reports generates. Authority without responsibility is never a good idea

Yes, I know you are a good adviser. And I have got tons of things from your advises if you remember those. I always accepted and think about what seniors say. You have up voted my answers some times and I realy appriciated and very glad on them. But annoyed down votes are really give bad feelings on me. Any way will see. He is not a new member any way. He is weighted 2 and giving me -4 when voting. . I will give up he might get tired one day. Thank you for caring.

-4 is trivial - it's a low rep voter. -16 is a medium-to-high rep downvote (I have a number of those  )
Ignore it - it's probably just someone who didn't like your answer to him and is getting "his revenge" as best he can.
It's not as if rep points could be exchanged for beer tokens! (But I wish they could be)
