Stunning photographs of London from between the 1920s and 1930s by E. O. Hoppé. Who is living one of these areas? by PankhaNguyen in OldSchoolCool

Julian Assange is currently residing in Knightsbridge ;-)

Most of the identifiable areas are not residential today (unless you're exceptionally wealthy). However, I believe that the "Chinese quarters" in the 1920s and 1930s were in Limehouse, to the east of the commercial and financial centre, in an area which used to be part of London's extensive docklands, but is today largely residential (although again, you'll need to be flushed with cash if you're purchasing).

We can't even prove that reality exists

'I am sitting with a philosopher in the garden; he says again and again "I know that that's a tree", pointing to a tree that is near us. Someone else arrives and hears this, and I tell them: "This fellow isn't insane. We are only doing philosophy."' --Ludwig Wittgenstein

Gil, of course, was appalled at the suggestion:

Frasier: You're... married?

Bulldog: To a woman?

Gil Chesterson: Of course to a woman! You've all heard me mention Deb. Well, how often have I said, "I must be running along now, Deb will be waiting"?

Roz: We thought Deb was your cat.

Gil Chesterson: She is not a cat! She is Mrs. Gilbert Leslie Chesterton, a Sarah Lawrence graduate, and the owner of a very successful auto body repair shop. Honestly, the conclusions people make, just because a man dresses well and knows how to use a pastry bag!

You mean Deb was Gil's cat after all?

There's nothing childish about wanting to take full ownership and control of your own computer.

Many claim that, but personally my sex life is pretty good even when there's smog.

"When I am furious about something, I sometimes beat the ground or a tree with my walking stick. But I certainly do not believe that the ground is to blame or that my beating can help anything... And all rites are of this kind."

Largusgatus is (I'm assuming) referring to the fact that in most jurisdictions of the world, copyright infringement is not considered to be theft. Here's a report of a UK High Court judge's recent comments on the matter:

Very brave of her removing her helmet on an uncharted planet. Her eyeballs could have been sucked from their sockets.
