... I find it amusing that the longest thread of the year so far in
p.b.i is titled "waste of time!"

For example, using PHP to access a MySQL database is a common subject
for print and on-line articles. Perhaps combining those two technologies
on an Esperanto-speaking giant robot that shoots laser beams out of its
eyes?

huhuhu. That was very kind of you, dude. Thank you very much.
Indeed it'd take about 12 hours. My render of it was at about 9 hours
when I had to go to work. Besides, those lines visible in the joints of
splines...
it's a waste of time, but glassware always looks damn good! ;)

Typo. I wanted to put 1.03. Anyway, 0.03 is a valid value, even if totaly
unrealistic. It's a very strong dispersion where the red is more affected than
the violet.
