<aelf> &sleep.
...

<njs> I dunno, her statement sounded sort of like a declaration to me :-)
<zwol> bah, you and your modern languages
<njs> shweta: "&" is the operator for "find the address of this value in memory" in C
<njs> shweta: it has another extra meaning in C++, which applies only in variable declarations...
<zwol> shweta: the entire comment was intended to make njs snark
<shweta> oh
<shweta> I see
<shweta> you boys are geeks, you know that?
<zwol> yes. yes we do.
<shweta> ok
<zwol> you're talking to someone who gets *entirely* the wrong idea when advertisers spell "it" "!t"
<shweta> lol
<zwol> I'm sure they *mean* it for emphasis
<njs> that's just... wrong.
<njs> or false. or _something_.
<njs> also, totally invalid lisp.
<zwol> ... huh? oh, t.
