Food: Thinking about Bosna sausage

There's some fast food hot dog they have in Austria called the bosna, which I had a hankering for the other day. I guess I had a sausage which was similarly spiced and reminded me of this wonderful food. I can't seem to find a recipe on the internet but I remember it having onions, curry (and paprika?) on a long sausage. Yum. The picture is from Salzburg, Austria and is the actual hole in the wall that I often bought from.

I was there in 1990 and I still crave that Bosna...

Thanks for posting a picture of the stand, I couldn't remember the name of it.

I would go back to Salzburg if I was in Europe just for one more of those.

Yeah, I got hooked on these things while stationed in Bavaria in the 80's and now 20 years later I can still remember how great they were. I would love to be able to have one again.

I've also been a huge Bosna fan since the mid-80s.

I know of only one place to get them in the states: Vail Sausage Company in Vail, Colorado. The owner is a chef from Austria!

It's been 28 1/2 years since I had one and I still have a yearning for one. I remember that they were absolutely delicious - THE BOMB !!

Hi,

I've looked for Vail Sausage Co. but does it go by another name and do you remember where in Vail it was located? I was hooked on Bosna when I was in Salzburg in the 1980's.

Thanks so much,

Cherie

Shortest Sudoku solver in Python

Mark Byer's site has some more Sudoku solvers here's a short one in Python that's only 178 bytes long:def r(a):i=a.find('0');~i or exit(a);[m
in[(i-j)%9*(i/9^j/9)*(i/27^j/27|i%9/3^j%9/3)or a[j]for
j in range(81)]or r(a[:i]+m+a[i+1:])for m in'%d'%5**18]
from sys import*;r(argv[1]) On the site is also shown a longer Perl version at 185 bytes:
use integer;sub R{for$i(grep!$A[$_],@x=0..80){%t=map{$_/27-$i/27|$_%9/3-$i%9/3&&$_
/9-$i/9&&($_-$i)%9?0:$A[$_]=>1}@x;R($A[$i]=$_)for grep!$t{$_},1..9;return$A[$i]=0}
die@A}@A=split//,<>;R I think the Python version is slightly easier to understand, although they are both quite cryptic.
I'm not sure why I find these programs fascinating. I think it reminds me that any program can be written in such a way that it's cryptic, even in Python. In addition, the code is small enough that you should be able to figure out how it works, and may learn something the process.

Why does God hate amputees?

Marshall Brain has released an online book called "Why Does God Hate Amputees?" He also wrote a scary vision of the future in Robot Nation and is the founder of How Stuff Works.
His books is 32 pages and the title comes from this idea, we hear about miracles where tumor or some disease is cured, but...:
No matter how many people pray. No matter how sincere those people are. No matter how much they believe. No matter how devout and deserving the recipient. Nothing will happen. The legs will not regenerate. Prayer does not restore the severed limbs of amputees. You can read all the medical journals ever written -- there is no documented case of an amputated leg being restored spontaneously. And we know that God ignores the prayers of amputees through our own observations of the world around us. If God were answering the prayers of amputees to regenerate their lost limbs, we would be seeing amputated legs growing back every day.
I haven't finished reading but what I have read …
