No, dear, its People. This is the IT business. It's people, people, people all the way down.
That turtles all the way down was something I read in a Carl Sagan book, where he said someone claimed it was "turtles all the way down". ;-)
Yes, I have the book; he said it was a little old lady. Wait, was it Sagan or Feynman? Some myths are viral. Pratchett played this up and it became a myth in its own right, but he mixed in other sources as well, hence the elephants. With the elephants - enough elephants beyond a critical point, provided they are of the same size - you don't need so many turtles, and turtles, being independent creatures who only come together to mate, would be difficult to keep stacked up. In fact even having two of them stacked would be difficult to get by the British censors in children's books. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
