Almost fell out of my chair when I read the Guardian Pick comment:
Sounds like a case of the port not calling the kettle back.

Facebook was very timely with this one...
@HardwareGeek As you know... The size of the house doesn't matter here. It's the size of the lot. You can pretty much guarantee that it will be torn down.
Took a bunch of clicks - but I found the lot size: 7841sf. For Silly Valley, that's actually a fairly large lot. (Mine's 8200sf)

Oh come now. You know a WDTWFT member would still be sitting in that boat.

I don’t want to toot my own horn but I somehow got a free coffee out of ryanair.
You may regret that in an hour or two...
@HardwareGeek I did. But I filed a couple weeks ago with no problems. Fed/State refunds are already deposited.
@Arantor my one year stint with OSX and homebrew made me actively resent it and I am never going back.
Somehow I decided to go with macports when I got my mac... Guess that was a good decision.

Just say you know it already.
I (used to) know Fortran, but I haven't used it in almost 40 years.
I bet it's not hard to learn on the fly.
I don't know if it was a problem with the student or the language (), but my first (indirect) experience with COBOL was students in the computer lab at school crying because they had hundreds of compile errors in their very first program, which it took them half-way through the semester to write. (In contrast, we'd written and run hello_world in Fortran in the first session of the class.) I decided then and there that I would never, ever touch COBOL.
I had classes in both of those way back in community college. The COBOL one was particularly fun. It was a 5 credit course. On Sat. So 5 hrs of COBOL in one day. And I was working 3rd shift. It was so much "fun" to get off work, drive to school, and listen to the english-challenged prof for 5 hrs. Tho, I gotta say, him having a thick accent helped - since I had to actually concentrate on what he was saying. I was glad when those 6-day weeks went away...
