You might revise your opinion about that somewhere around the hundredth time somebody tells you that you have to communicate with them by fax.

The photo 5th from the bottom actually appears to be of a coin-operated rice mill!

I'm interested in these articles you mention, but am having trouble finding out more. Do you remember what they were called, or any details about their publication?

I imagine in those types of restaurants, menus might be cycled-out due to wear and tear more often than due to changing dishes. In which case, the increased durability and water-resistance of this stone-based paper might result in less waste.

Are you suggesting the Danish should be taxed for travelling they might well have done in Sweden?

I'm aware it's probably not intentional, but you describe Scala as being eclectic, and then immediately criticize Scala For The Impatient for presenting it as eclectic!

However, I do feel like you're right. For instance, the section on XML literals probably should have been avoided, since that feature doesn't fit nicely with the rest of the language and most of the time isn't necessary to know.
