I decided not to because the concept is simple (and natural for all object-orientated languages). I like the way how it is implemented in Delphi, naturally, where all forms that work as your base class are stored in a central repository so that they can be reused for other applications as well.\n<\/p>\n<p>Earlier we saw <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/babel\/\">&#8216;Babel&#8217;<\/a> (2006), which I can only describe as &#8216;a complex story with a happy end&#8217;. I thought the end part was surprising, were the viewer finds out that that single phone actually happens in the past. The movie is rated R (nudity, violence and some drug use) by the MPAA.\n<\/p>\n<p>I read that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2007\/TECH\/science\/06\/07\/bald.eagle.delisting\/index.html\">bald eagle is soaring in the US<\/a>. I&#8217;m not sure if I mentioned it here before, but there&#8217;s a pair of bald eagles living around Middle Stewiacke. I thought this was ironic (<a href=\"http:\/\/museum.gov.ns.ca\/mnh\/nature\/nsbirds\/bns0086.htm\">More on bald eagles in Nova Scotia<\/a>).\n<\/p>\n<p>And last but not least, I ran into one of those &#8216;ErrorSafe&#8217; popups (it wasn&#8217;t stopped by FireFox). If you run across it, the (general) advice is to pull the plug of your ethernet before it starts downloading. In my case it didn&#8217;t make the download but if it did, Symantec has a page describing how to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.symantec.com\/security_response\/writeup.jsp?docid=2006-012017-0346-99&#038;tabid=3\">remove the program manually<\/a>. (ErrorSafe was sighted around about.com).
