1/8     There is a card trick where you have someone select a card
        from an imaginary deck and tell you what card they selected.
        (Basically, they just pick any card they like)  Then you
        pull out a real deck of cards from your pocket and the card
        they chose is either face down while the other cards are
        face up, or has a big X on it.  From searching the web,
        I've found that you can pay $10 or $20 for a trick deck
        that allows you to do this trick, but I still haven't the
        foggiest idea how it works.  Does anyone know?
        \_ Large pants and 52 decks of cards!
        \_ That trick only works on the weak-minded.  Your Jedi
           mind tricks won't work on ME.

9/22    In SQL, how can I do something like this:
        SELECT ip_addr, count(*) AS ct FROM table WHERE
