News Item: Tim Hortons employees offer tips on etiquette:
Frustrated employees have banded together on the popular social networking site Facebook to give cranky customers the basic rules on how to order their daily fix if they want to get good service.
A trip to Tim Hortons is part of the daily routine for many Canadians, but it doesn't necessarily seem to be the warm and fuzzy experience the commercials make them out to be for people on both sides of the counter.
Facebook hosts more than 500 groups about Tim Hortons, some appreciative, some definitely not.
Note to newspapers: Facebook groups are not news stories. It was bad enough when you used them to demonstrate support for an idea in a broader article. You cannot graduate to making them the basis of an entire piece. This is no more newsworthy than a story titled 'Cat Plays Piano.'

To recurse is divine. You should check out Lisp, Tay. That shit'll really blow your mind. (Or drive you crazy. Either way.)

yikes, the things people devise patterns for:
I'm sure they'd be incredibly warm, but, after two years of knitting them, I probably wouldn't want to lay eyes on them ever again.

Boo on the math/ computer programing joke.
I personally(at work) use iteration more then recursion, then again most funtions I work with have been long derived and uderstood. Just a matter of getting the right number of decimal places.

"To iterate is human
To recurse, divine."

Par, P has gained some kind of Grand Arms tech reality distotion drive, possibly taken from a GA Kreigshinobi. In other words you won't catch him.

Not only is Dustin Penner playing better of late, he's also winning hearts and minds:
"[Hemsky] completes the line," said Penner. "It's like Nintendo's Ice Hockey. They had the skinny guy, the medium guy and the big fat guy. That line usually worked the best. So you have Hemmer, Horc and me -- but you have to get the new edition. That was the old Penner. I'm not the big fat guy anymore."
Well, video game nerd hearts and minds, anyway.
