I wish I would live long enough to see an XSLT processor that takes advantage in this way of an available multi-processor configurationand realised I had understood too much.

Using a period at the end of a bulleted or numbered list is often based on whether the list items are complete sentences. But consider this scenario. You have two lists separated by a single sentence. In the first list, the items form complete senteces. Therefore, you terminate all the items in the list with periods. In the second list, none of the items form a complete sentence. Therfore, you do not use periods. A reader, noticing this obvious difference but not knowing the rule behind it, may consider it sloppy writing, casting doubt on the authority of the author. ... Periods are used for things besides terminal punctuation: decimals and ellipses, for example. Therefore, consider using a period at the end of a list item not as terminal punctuation for a sentence but as terminal punctuation for an item.

Gay Bitches
J'ai un voisin qui tient à travailler le samedi. L'Exode, chapitre 35, verset 2, dit clairement qu'il doit être condamne à mort. Suis je oblige de le tuer moi-meme ? Pourriez-vous me soulager de cette question génante d'une quelconque manière ?
In order to garner the same kind of defense as presented by this reader, as well as for other sorts of intellectual enlightment, I have read the five books of Moses. I must concur with the email's conclusion that while the Bible explicitly calls homosexuality an abomination in the sight of God, it also explicitly condemns a great many acts that are in daily practise today, and orders a great many acts which it would today be impossible to practise, nonwithstanding that the five books of Moses are explicitly addressed not to Christians but to "the children of Israel". It is therefore impossible to take any of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers or Deuteronomy literally. At least for a Christian, if not for everyone. ellipsis In spite, however, of all these proofs that God hangs with homos, I have a nagging question in my mind about sexuality and dogs. I'm not talking bestiality. I'm just wondering: dogs seem to be the greatest proof that gays are born, not conditioned, given that any dog will hump almost anything. He'll be especially happy if he can fit his pecker into a friend's asshole. In fact, even if my impression is erroneous, the canic race at least produces more diverse sexuality among its males than any numbers a human gay pride parade can claim. But what about bitches? Has anyone ever seen two girl dogs have sex? Does this not seem like a contradiction? Somehow? Am I just deprived? And if I am, how would it work? C'mon bitches: get with it!
