So semantic analysis of born in provides hints to the lexer, turning Pairs into Paris ? I can tell you it gets even more bizarre: I once misread "bluetooth is dead" as "IrDA is dead" and was like, "duh, no shit

It's great to know what knowledge exists and where. It's less great to think that you know something just because you could swear you have read it on the Internet once, which I think is what GP meant. It's not unusual to see

If we are talking malware being leaked or escaping to the wild, it's more like the US, Israel and maybe some not-yet-caught European states cooperating with them.

Wait, are you serious about this working for you while you are aware of price being a part of the deal or are you fucking trolling us? I was under impression that people to whom price matters as such usually are in denial of it.
