diana_coman: mircea_popescu> ben_vulpes you know for everyone from europe public school = best school. private school is where people with money send their retarded offspring to keep up the pretense.

mod6: ben_vulpes: here's a peek at the squshed beta 1 & beta 2 vpatches - unless something changes between now and tonight, i'll be sending this one to the ML. All you need to do to apply is get V [v99996], copy `v.pl' to `v.pl.v99996`, then place this patch in the same dir and do: `patch -p0
< V_v99995_beta2.vpatch` and give it a go

<artifexd> I'm comfortable calling it a review. Not just of what it is but what it was and how it got to where it is.
mircea_popescu: PeterL> or am I totally confused?
<< a patch can only be safely applied to its antecedent. two patches at the same level CAN NOT be both applied by definition.

<ascii_butugychag> su police, at least formally, were forbidden to appear anywhere in public except as 2+ man group.
<< This is part of what interests me in this case. 4 police officers met 4 hindbrains in mutual combat and lost resoundingly. If not for the equal numbers would be far less interesting.
