Clearly, that makes it far superior to the breakfast that is seen.

Anyone who thinks the talks with Iran are anything but a waste of time while they get closer to nukes is an idiot.

A spokesman for Iran's Foreign Ministry stressed on Monday that Iran was only negotiating the lifting of sanctions and was not considering a temporary or interim agreement, according to Iranian media.

The spokesman, Saeed Khatibzadeh, added that Iran is "not in a hurry" and would not allow anyone to "play" with their time and energy in Vienna.

Khatibzadeh claimed that while the Iranian delegation was willing to be flexible, the other side was unwilling. He added that the Iranian delegation was waiting to receive the opinion of the world powers concerning two documents the delegation submitted on their positions concerning sanctions and nuclear issues.

... or, is willingly going along with Iran, because they WANT Iran to have nuclear weapons.

In #5 lucius septimius said: Several of the people seem to have been involved in Spiritualist groups associated with a journal of the occult.

Those were very popular at the beginning of the last century. Several books talk about the occult meetings and interest in these things.

There is one couple I can identify who were both well-known mediums in London in the first decade of the century.

So, now, you need to start going through your great-grandfather's collection of Accused Objects.

(This is how the movie usually begins.)

I have a frustrated dog. Squirrel just out of his reach. Best he could do was bark at it. He would not go through the invisible fence.

Squirrel eventually made it to his home tree.

Squirrels here taunt the dogs.

One day they were throwing pine cones down at the dogs.

One of the first debuggers, if not the first, was Dynamic Debugging Technique, or DDT. The PDP-10 manual differentiated it from the insecticide, which "is used against a different class of bugs"

I note the debugger I use at work is still called DDT, but is far beyond the machine language level of the original.

I remember debugging a video display adapter built with 2901 bit slice components. Debugged it with a logic analyzer. Found a hardware bug - going beyond some address boundary accessed random addresses.

Oh, I can only imagine how much better today's debugger is. In this case, a change I made late Friday (always a bad time to code) came back to bite me big. All fixed now.
