There's a kind of sausage here named "Krakower" (transscripted). No wonder I couldn't solve the riddle.

2 guys "from Krakow" (or can say it with 2 blondes - no offense to either ...)
Sitting in a cafeteria, against the mirror, on the other side:

"Look look! Two guys just like us, over there. Let's go meet them!"
[Standing up ...] ... [Pause]
"Ok, never mind, they're coming here! ..."
[Sitting down]

Looks more like 0.9 cats.

If you think non-integer cat numbers are weird, consider this video. We clearly start with a cat number of 1 and end with a cat number of 0. But would you say the number jumps from 1 to 0 in between? No, continuous cat numbers make much more sense.

So there's digital and analog "cat system"?

#58: Write-Only Memory
April 1, 1973: The Signetics corporation issued a press release announcing their invention of a revolutionary new electronic memory that promised to "improve the quality of life for billions of people who are affected by computer data." As opposed to the common "write-and-read" or "read-only" memories (ROM), they had perfected Fully-Encoded 9046XN 25120 Write-Only Memory (aka WOM). Data could be written to the device, but never read back, thus ensuring Eternally Inaccessible Storage (EIS).

Me too... as a matter of fact I'm a big fan of Fourier Transformation/FFT, very useful in many places, e.g. when programming/processing audio stuff. Here's a nice, free Android app (realtime audio spectrum analysis) I discovered some days ago: Spectroid.

Is it true that "good" (+) and "~bad" (-) Windows main versions almost alternate? (by coincidence, naturaly or on purpose?)

I switched from Mac to Windows almost after XP. Here we go: (you guys do the "before Wind. XP"...)
XP: +
Vista: -
7: +
8: - (although I liked it! ...)
8.1: +
9: Non-existent! , thus "-" [although that can get us into a "philosophical" debate here ...]
10: +

Anyone cares to complete the chart by doing the before? Does it work?
[Use common acceptence (stat./ly) - not personal views ...]
