Huh? Just because you're not going to become the next graphics programming legend you think it's not worth getting into graphics programming at all?

Presumably there would be a legal definition of what constitutes public transport, and I would expect it wouldn't include those. But I'm neither swiss nor do I speak any swiss languages so hell if I could find it.

> In a letter sent to Wendy Smith, who revoked her donation to UCSD after the Annenberg Media story broke, the school stated: “We will not be responding to factually inaccurate reporting by student reporters who have an agenda.”

Pretty embarrassing response by the school, IMHO.

But that's not idempotent? If I'm a client and I don't know if the original request went through, getting a 409 on any subsequent requests tells me nothing about whether the original request was successful or not.
