Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database
table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life.
What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated
with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it
will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun
way to find stuff.

Karl Dubost : La balise object sert à insérer des objets,
n'importe-quel type d'objet.
La balise object sert à insérer des objets, n'importe-quel type
d'objet. Vous savez lorsque vous développez en informatique et que
vous voulez insérer du code HTML ou du code perl ou python. Vous avez
toujours la nécessité d'échapper les séquences qui pourraient être
interprêtées comme du code HTML. Si vous utilisez la balise object,
vous devez préciser le type mime de l'objet que vous envoyez. Le type
mime que vous précisez peut-être celui de l'objet même par exemple
une image jpeg que j'envoie avec type="image/jpeg" ou alors un autre
type mime qui est celui avec lequel vous désirez afficher le fichier.
Par exemple, vous pouvez vouloir afficher un fichier HTML ou un
programme perl avec le type mime du texte seul de façon à afficher le
code.

But Richler certainly had a compassion and understanding for
French Canadians; many of the most honest, exemplary characters in
his fiction are Francophones. I remember the cabdriver in Barney's
Version who complains to Barney about the excitement of the Canadiens
playing for the Stanley Cup. " 'Mon blood pressure est sky-high,'
said the driver. 'C'est le stress.' "
