TLAs was: DIN Chart - Atomic - Where can I find one?

Can anyone tell me what it stands for *without* looking it up on the web? Pulling out your GunEmacs manual is allowed as long as it's the old yellow one with the weird drawing on the front that says something about the planet noi. Gnu's not unix. Damn.... That was *fast*. And half way around the world no less.... Are you saying I'm half-fast? |

"Walt" wrote in message ... klaus wrote: Walt wrote: Richard Henry wrote: "Walt" wrote Is asa an abbreviation for alt.sailing.asa? Right. It's a recursive TLA. ASA would be a tail recursive TLA but I believe the first recursive TLA was head recursive, and that TLA was GNU. I think TLA was the first recursive TLA. How could something else be the first recursive TLA if TLA wasn't defined yet? TLA is recursive isn't it? Or is it merely self-descrptive like short, polysylabic, sesquipedillian, and upge****ed ? (the last one being auf Deutch...) Can anyone tell me what it stands for *without* looking it up on the web? Everybody knows what GNU is (or rather what it isn't - eat your heart out SCO!) -- //-Walt // // "Fair and Balanced" obRSA: Did you see what happened when Fox tried to stop Al Franken's new book _Lies and the Lying Liars that Tell Them_ ? In one day it went to #1 on the Amazon best seller list, and it doesn't come out for a month yet. obski: DIN is a TLA According to http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/ DIN is a DBA (drei-buchstaben-akronym). Of coursse, it also says "Keine Garantie für die Richtigkeit!" |

Fox copywrited (or some such protection) the term "fair and balanced" in 1995. You think it's frivolous to peruse someone that purposefully challenges that. Seems to me he was asking for it and got what he wanted. Unfortunately it will still work to his benefit. It does go to show your lack of objectivity though. You Bush haters are so funny. Last night Davis, in an attempt to defend himself, said something to the effect of "what about the National Economy? That was great under clinton, now look at it". Totally ignoring the fact that the downturn started under clinton and is now showing healthy signs of recovery. |

ITYM "Saddam lovers" or "Terrorism Supporters", or maybe "Pinkos"; whatever the term of the day is for somebody left of the Prezdet. And what does Bush have to do with it? Unless you mean his stance on tort reform, which would seem to put him more on Franken's side here. Added to that, that's a pretty weak trademark to begin with, and it was granted in the Clinton era, so you just KNOW it was issued in exchange for money, drugs or tail, right? Which side are you really on, here? Last night Davis, in an attempt to defend himself, said something to the effect of "what about the National Economy? That was great under clinton, now look at it". Totally ignoring the fact that the downturn started under clinton and is now showing healthy signs of recovery. But it's not Davis being sued, it's Franken, and AFAIK they haven't worked together for years. bw |

FWIW, Hold on there. That's not a TLA, that's an FLA, and you know haw much trouble you can get into mixing FLA and politics. I'd quit while you are still ahead. the rather commonly used phrase "fair and balanced" seems like a silly and presumptous term to copyright. Now, if you turn "Fair and Balanced" into a TLA, you get FAB. Unfortunately, FAB has already been registered as a trademark by Colgate-Palmolive. IOW, it seems like FOX is SOL on copywriting FAB as their official TLA. Film at eleven. -- //-Walt // // "Fair and Balanced" obski: how about that new HSQ they're putting in at XXXX? |

I think it's against the law to peruse someone without their permission. Otherwise people would get perused all the time. And that just wouldn't be right.

You Bush haters are so funny. dOOd.... there is more to politics than pro-bush or anti-bush. Your argument shows the complete lack of logic and black/white fallacy employed by the probush camp. BTW, I've trademarked the term Bush Haters(tm). Please refrain from using it. Last night Davis, in an attempt to defend himself, said something to the effect of "what about the National Economy? That was great under clinton, now look at it". Totally ignoring the fact that the downturn started under clinton and is now showing healthy signs of recovery. Can we stick to one fair and balanced argument at a time? p.s. I actually like bush.. neatly trimmed. -klaus |
