A puzzle

Ι played this flash puzzle about a year ago and a friend just reminded me of its existence. If you haven't seen it, you should; it's quite fun. [Check this out too. By the same guy]

Προς τα πίσω.

ADSL. Τρία χρόνια και κάτι, που τελείωσε η αναμονή για τους έλληνες και αντικαταστάθηκε με απογοήτευση. Έβαλα ADSL εβδομάδες αφότου ξεκίνησε η διάθεση στο ευρύ κοινό στην Ελλάδα το καλοκαίρι του 2003.

NASA, an organisation that had seen much of its funding disappear in the post-lunar landing world, badly needed the shuttle, if not for the technical advantages it would bring (and they were supposed to be many), for the economic ones. The idea of […]
