fun fact: lua has no support for unicode

gl with your new scripting language wikipedia

e: lol, from the page on one of the libraries it recommends:

quote:

The UTF-8 encoding

Unicode is an universal character set, widely used in XML documents.

The point of this is that Unicode characters are 32/64 bits length. With UTF-8, ASCII characters are stored as one byte, others may take from 2 to 7 bytes in length. See RFC 2279 [1].

Note: the above is not correct.

1. city declares snow emergency is in effect
2. everybody parks on one side of the street
3. other side of the street gets plowed to the curb
4. repeat steps 2 & 3 to clear the side of the street not done yet

WORKSFORME. also if you live somewhere dense enough that this isn't possible, wtf you got a car for anyway?

"The term "HON" recently became a trademarked term in Baltimore by a local businesswoman. Denise Whiting trademarked the term "HON" for use on napkins, buttons, hats and other promotional material to promote her business, Cafe Hon, located in Baltimore. The trademark, as stated by Whiting, doesn't prevent anyone from saying "HON"[3] or using it in general conversation.[4]"

Vulgarity is in the eye of the beholder, like beauty. I don't find anything vulgar, because I understand that words are sounds, the same as other apes make, only we string them together to represent thoughts. I don't believe that thoughts can be "bad," because I don't believe in thought-crime -- because I still think in Oldspeak. I do realize, however, that your opinion outweighs mine on this site, because you have a magic button that can send me to Room 101. It is this fact at which I take umbrage. I openly mock your piddling button, and dare you to resort to it. I do this because I reject the notion that your subjective assessment of thoughts is the slightest bit more relevant than mine -- button or no -- and I want you to sink to your lowest possible level by enforcing your belief to the contrary.

P.S. gently caress you. Stick your threats up your rear end. And stick your admin bit (the source of all your bluster) up Shearer's rear end, next to his. You came here to rile me up with more threats, because you knew I wouldn't be impressed by your button, and that I'd push it myself just to spite you. This is just another case of bored button-jockeys who oppose my political views, looking for an excuse to purge me. Well, you've got your reason, now push your loving button, gatekeeper. You can't imagine how many times I've been through this. You'll see me after I've pressed my own button -- on the back of my modem. Or perhaps I'll see you first. The gates will come down one day. The top Google hit won't always be run by power-tripping teens, frustrated house-husbands, bitter spinsters and slavish upholders of the elites' version of history. The truth will find its way into this right-wing, authoritarian, Anglo-centric nightmare.

That article is another loving disgrace. Two measly loving paragraphs in a measly loving backwater of an article, where the truth, to the extent that it is mentioned, won't offend the sensibilities of historical gatekeepers like yourself.
By the way, your wording could use some cleanup as well. "Native Americans and their mass killings"? That could be taken to imply that the natives were the ones doing the killing and instigating the whole thing. Is that what you meant?
Never mind, don't bother answering. Go gently caress yourself, gatekeeper. And stick your admin bit as far up your rear end as your long arm of the law will reach.

So hot ...
The film The Matrix also incorporates a self-defeating prophecy. When Neo is taken to the Oracle, she tells him that he's not "the One". She then goes on to tell him that Morpheus believes so blindly that Neo is "the One", that he will risk his life to save him. Therefore, Neo eventually will have to make a choice between his own life, and Morpheus'. Later on, when he is faced with Morpheus' imminent death, Neo makes the choice to save Morpheus, believing that if he himself dies it won't matter, because he is not "the One". Neo manages to save Morpheus without dying himself, contrary to the Oracle's prediction. Seeing that Neo is confused by this, Morpheus explains, "She [the Oracle] told you exactly what you needed to hear. That's all." Neo then discovers that he is in fact "the One". If the Oracle had told Neo earlier that he was "the One", he might not have been willing to risk his own life for Morpheus'.
