Nothing strikes fear into my heart like this does.

Reminds me of that one Spongebob episode where everything was chrome.

As the saying goes:

'If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.'

Yes. It was tongue in cheek. Another objection is that smartness isn’t an ordering. You could be the best person in the room at something but still learn on other things.

Corollary to Corollary: no two people can be equally smart

Corollary. It is wrong to be alone in a room.

Stephane Pigeon of myNoise.net made the website himself, but hired out the app development.

>DO THEY HAVE ADDONS OR PLUGINS INSTALLED WHICH INJECT SCRIPT OR ALTER THE DOM IN WAYS YOU DIDN'T ANTICIPATE?

Every news site has an answer to this.

Speaking of RA, I thoroughly enjoyed the latest podcast with a mix from Aïsha Devi.
