    Yep, I got a quote, Spock though.
    I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

      I had this once:
      "DarkCloud: A computer on a nasty little Island no one has ever heard of."
      -- Theben or n.c.

      It works well to me
      I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.

                Do we have "Please don't go. The Dones need you. They look up to you" or whatever it is from SMAC? If not then we prolly should, especially for when people like Skanky get logged off.

                          Hmmm, you can't do italics in a code block, which would actually be non-italics because the quote is given in italics… nevermind. Don't know if this is actually a quote or just a paraphrase.

                              Your Latin is impeccable, but I was always taught that the actual quote was "Cartago delenda est" as Cato somewhat predates De Bello Gallico which is normally taken as the defining text for 'classical Latin' I find it more convincing.

                              n.b. I am NOT a Latin scholar and the above is entirely IMHO and does not claim to be definitive...
