Мимоходом
Мы с женой единодушно согласились, что болеем за Грузию только потому, что ненавидим Россию (как государство, естественно; не как страну или народ). А кто прав-виноват - так нам на это по большей степени наплевать.

Quotes of the day
Alexander Stepanov, from the Foreword to STL Tutorial and Reference Guide, Second Edition, by Musser, Derge, and Saini:
(1) In general, I believe that mathematical culture is essential for a good software engineer. Sadly enough, nowadays one goes through college - and through graduate school - without any exposure to real mathematics.
(2) People who write their own code, instead of using standard components, should be dealt with like people who propose designing nonstandard, proprietary CPUs.
An arrogant bastard, but justifiably so.
