The Wikipedia entry on First Normal Form also uses this kind of construction, which I suspect means it was written by the same person. I have never seen terms like domain and attribute used as if they were plurals (the way "data"

I once wrote in a comment in an Emacs Lisp todo list program that "Of all forms of time-wasting, writing time-management software is most sublime." I would say that of all forms of procrastinating writing that novel, writing novel

I really like pkgsrc. I'm not really qualified to give a technical justification for it. It just had the right simple, clean feel to it, which NetBSD in general has. I would even go so far as to say that it was fun to use. I consequent

By an odd coincidence I was just today looking around to see if I could find any data or graphs or anything from Lysenko's original work. I didn't turn up anything. Does anyone have any suggestions? I hadn't thought about Vav
