progI am now feeling vaguely embarrassed at bringing two friends so far aboard LJ if it goes down so frequently.
I bet if, when discussing Byte Order Marks, I make the throwaway joke "Somebody set up us the BOM" the copy editors will, in fact, throw it away. I could insert a comment noting that it's intentional, but I don't know if I'd care that much about it.
Anyway, the joke wouldn't carry through translation.

BOM
Date: 2002-01-24 11:42 am (UTC)(for ages after i started working here i wondered what the math bomb they were talking about was. if it exploded, would numbers, operations, variables, other mathy stuff come out? "eek, i've been y-intercepted!")
