Isn't sure about HK sockets, but US ones do. Sort of.
<egg>
UmbralRaptor: yeah but that's a Schuko
<UmbralRaptor>
hrm
<egg>
they're symmetrical
<egg>
I think what whitequark means by "phase on the proper contact" is "phase on the correctly-coloured wire"?
<egg>
(at ANBO that's kind of hopeless since it has both old and new colour conventions, and the old convention allows for blue phase,

egg|z|egg: okay that's *clever* and I'll have to remember that. Also why the heck did she refer to it as "von Neumann rounding"?
<egg|z|egg>
also why doesn't principia have Veltkamp-Dekker
<egg|z|egg>
also why am i not following this person
<bofh>
good question, it strikes me as exactly the sort of thing it should
<bofh>
we need to go thru floating-point stuff at ANBO on that note
<egg|z|egg>
:D
<UmbralRaptor>
Von Neumann rounding leads to an inevitable question of if there's a Harvard rounding.
<egg|z|egg>
ah yes, ANBOL Numerics,
<UmbralRaptor>
^sounds fun.
<egg|z|egg>
UmbralRaptor: also, ANBOL Astronomy once we manage to get you there :-p

Same,

egg|z|egg: I'll try to attend EPRV IV as an eggscuse.

UmbralRaptor: if you want to go to ANBO as opposed to just meeting me in zurich you probably need to plan an additional week of not being on the wrong side of the atlantic though, it makes little sense to go there for only a couple of days
