In the last couple (so far) of Diane Duane's "Young Wizards" books, there are a couple of scenes with Spot and some of the other sentient machines sitting in front of the (intergalactic) TV. One of the humans asks what's up and they reply "Dataaaaahhhh...".
For kalmn, Godot is the place-holder name for her hoped-for adopted kid. She's finished all the paperwork, and it's been sent off to whichever foreign country they chose for her. Does that help?
Today I tuned a query that was going to take a million seconds down to just a few minutes' runtime...but that doesn't really count because it wasn't out of development yet, one of the "optimizations" was "kill the runaway query that's stealing all the resources", and most of the other changes were "jiggle the handle" kinds of changes.
