"we call it newton's LAW because all matter in the universe we've found follows it. But maybe every atom of matter in the Universe is imbued with JUST enough consciousness to decide to be a retaliatory dick every chance it gets!

I mean. Cool. But, we didn't really need yet another language did we? Couldn't they just have imposed their googliness on python3 or something less drastic? Oh well, I guess it worked for msft with their ol c#. Sigh.

How long will it take for the page to become usable again?

Thanks to the magic of slicehost slice-increasing-voodoo (and disabling apache pipelining) I've got the site back up and humming. :) I'm glad you guys like the site!

Racial discrimination? Easily yes. *EDIT* Well, only if they were actually treated differently than other customers

I wouldn't say it's discriminatory. It's descriptive and accurate. Maybe not polite, maybe insensitive, but no service has been denied, so there is no discrimination. There seems to be a trend amongst the guardianistas these days to believe that simply MENTIONING the apparent race of a person is racist. It's not. Too many people are too ready to be offended by just about anything. If there were 17 white couples and one black couple in the room with you, how would you point out the black couple?

Personally, I wouldn't be THAT offended. But I would hope they had a better way of identifying tables.

It even says "Table 18" on there. But still I don't think it's actually racist. In poor taste, yes. Would have maybe used "UPSTAIRS BIG FOREHDS" instead ;)

Erm, why isn't their tables numbered? Seriously, what do they do if the entire restaurant was white males. Upstairs white male at corner left table wearing blue tie and glasses? Edit: oh it is numbered, what is the point then of labeling?

I'm not a visible minority so I can't really comment. But I'm going to anyway ;). I agree with the comments here that it was more insensitive than anything else. Would it really have ruined your entire evening though? Sounds a bit like dramatics to me.

Yeah, I find it weird that all the reviews point out how good looking it is. Maybe it looks better in person, but from the pics I find it reasonably ugly.
