Pandarus: Be moderate, be moderate. Cressida: Why tell you me of moderation? The grief is fine, full, perfect, that I taste, And violenteth in a sense as strong As that which causeth it. How can I moderate it? (William Shakespeare, The History of Troilus and Cressida (Pandarus & Cressida at IV, iv))
Moderate pleasure relaxes the spirit, and moderates it. (Latin: Modica voluptas laxat animos et temperat.) -- Seneca (Lucius Annaeus Seneca), De Ira (II, 20)
Take this at least, this last advice, my son: Keep a stiff rein, and move but gently on: The coursers of themselves will run too fast, Your art must be to moderate their haste. (Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso), Metamorphoses: Story of Phaeton (bk. II, l. 147))
The moderation of fortunate people comes from the calm which good fortune gives to their tempers. -- Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld, Maxims (no. 18)
True happiness springs from moderation. (German: Aus Massigkeit entspringt ein reines Gluck.) -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Die Naturliche Tochter (II, 5, 79)
Moderation is the silken string running through the pearl-chain of all virtues. -- Thomas Fuller, Holy and Profane States (bk. III, Of Moderation)

Happy BD, c242!
It's a conspiracy. Of course Microsoft is in it and its goal is to destroy Linux. http://www.linuxworld.com/story/32687.htm Now, why didn't I come up with that?

Some Scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe. -- Frank Zappa
This is how I see it. One cannot of course know everything science came up with. It helps if a software engineer knows a little about hardware, but he doesn't have to be a hardware engineer to do the job. But if he wanted he could verify it by studying that part of computer science. That's important. It is different from religion. It cannot be verified. Although there seems to be a scientist around (Frank Tipler) who claims that the answers to "Does God exist?", "Do we as human beings have free
No. God loves Kona. He is just here to help what you love most. Spell checking.

Oops. I think I have created a hidden thread.
Erm. I think some threads are lost. The lowest ID I could find was 10526. That was a reply of Third Eye to paxx. And it does not start a thread. So, I think there are a lot of threads deleted.

craeonics: Exactly what I was about to say.
While surfing the web I found an interesting web page which you may find interesting. David Bohm was a friend of Einstein, worked with Oppenheimer, worked at the Radiation Laboratory during WW2 and wrote books like "Quantum Theory", "Causality and Chance in Modern Physics" and "The Special Theory of Relativity". In short he was one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists of our era. He not only had a great interest in quantum mechanics, but also in philosophy. In his later work thi
In fact no improvement at all. I thought the DNS cache flush did work. But it didn't. Back to square one. Erm... 2! The long URLs do work. ;)
