Well, I can speak English, or I should hope so. I also speak a little Spanish, and I am/will be taking it through middle and high school. Finishing up my last year of middle school right now (and my last grading period-third trimester), and I'm currently in Spanish II. So I've got a long way to go ...

How about scuba? That's an acronym. Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. Anyway, that's off topic.

Back on topic, I consider myself lucky all this time. I have always pronounced it as my-S-Q-L. Just me, and I guess I am right. 8)

Same server, just different domain names. Amazingly, SF allows for you to specify your own domain name for a virtual host. One might be slightly faster than the other (purley due to the time it takes for Apache to resolve the virtual host), but I wouldn't count on it. ;)

Well, we used to use Granite Canyon for DNS, but they were just plain unreliable. We now use ZoneEdit, a little more reliable but a maximum number of queries or we get charged. :) Usually, it isn't a problem, though, just because of caching nameservers. We also used Intrahost for hosting, but they ...

Actually, I would like to agree with the statement that English is one of the most difficult languages. It just has too many irregular verbs and rules that are always broken. It is easy for a native speaker for the most part, but it makes it hard to learn as a second language.

Oh, fine. You're no fun anymore. :) Whatever happened to Engineering Materials Vol. 1? And no, I'm not going to just go out to my local bookstore and buy it, either. :P I'd be quite suprised if they had it. On second thought, I retract my vote for partially. :) Yes, it does move slightly (you don't ...

Just added in a new option: "Partially." Feel free to vote for it. The reason is even because the glass is solid and retains a standard shape, it's molecules are still in motion. If you wanted something to be truly solid, try absolute zero. Nothing moves in there. And if you are really bored, you ...

Belongs in General chat. Ok? You should probably read the "perpetual topic." Feel free to post this in there, but I guess I should lock it (we have a specific place for thank yous, as much as we like them).
