His majesty the president of Europe, supreme chancellor, primus inter pares, your lord and master, veteran of the Belgian Bureaucracy: Herman van Rompuy.

Vlaams Doping Tribunaal is completely out of bounds

The following sporters are suspended for one year:

Yanina ‘whoopie’ Wickmayer

Xavier ‘X-man’ Malisse:

Bonsei ‘Sugar’ Jackson:

  

Did they test positive on a drug test? no.

Did they deliberately dodge a drug test? no.

Did they do anything to hinder the officials? no.

 

Why are they suspended? They couldn’t fill in their whereabouts three times this year because the system was down.

Even in the Sovjet-Union this would not have happened. The most bureaucratic country in the world is apparently Flanders. And I live there.

Perl wisdom

…of course, the actual government of any computer is run by that fascist dictator known as the operating system. But a wise dictator knows when to let the people think they´re capitalist – and when to let them think they´re communists. (on parallel processing)

…The crypt() function is unimplemented  due to excessive paranoia (error message you might get)

…strictly speaking this is not true (about truth)

…Sociology has to be good for something (on operators, aka relationships)
