No way. Everybody in LD is highly intelligent and competent... and has no professionalism at all.

I never noticed that it changes from one country to another. I thought the Vatican just brought a ton of those and sent them before the Pope traveled.

If you rotate them you'll get the exact same result as mirroring from top to bottom.

Mirroring is mirroring. It doesn't matter the direction if you will rotate later.

I'd be wary about learning history from a professional gold bug.

The definition of a script is something the computer executes (if it's a computer script, of course). Everything else people shove into it is extraneous.

It certainly reaches some high peaks, but the series average isn't as entertaining as everybody remembers it.

You don't excuse or fix LaTeX formatting.

Hum... My guess is if we could make houses out of money, they would be much cheaper.

I'm so terrified about it that I check dozens of times before running it. So, no.

But I'm a repeat offender with rm -rf * .o

You! You took the egg out of the best Power Point presentation on the history of TV!
