If anything, a multiple colectomy.

Shouldn't that be that 1GB in EU land will be freed up?
Of course, we'll have to defragment afterward.
Nice one, Sander.

Delay advantage near static fuse (13)

Hmmm, could be... I'll check for you later...

Is it a theme week? I thought the theme week was suppose to first week of the month. But then again I have been away a long time.
|

|

A few weeks ago we agreed to drop the themed week completely. Nobody seemed to want to play along with it so figured it was time to go.
|
|

|
|
Its a shame though! I (at least) usually got to learn something new because of the theme.

Could you write the complete solution? I didn't have the entire solution and just went with my gut.

Procrastinate = Delay
Pro = advantage (as in pros and cons)
crastinate = near static (anag. using "fuse" as the anagram indicator)
I did wonder if "fuse" was a bit suspicious for an anagram indicator but was going off of the definition: "join or blend to form a single entity"

I think it's this:
Delay
advantage PRO (No idea why "pro" == "advantage", but ho hum)
near R NA E
static C ASTI T
fuse (anag - again, no idea why)
Delay == procrastinate, and the anagram itself are fine, but the anagram indicator and "advantage" == "pro" are ... a little dodgy IMHO.

I'm about a 1/3 of the way through gutting Gplex. I think this could take me weeks.
All of this because I couldn't get one algorithm entirely correct. My punishment is slogging through arcane, undocumented code and completely retooling it. Somehow.
Oh well. The hard part will be making it language independent. Gplex is very much C# centric

You call it punishment now, but from what I gather that's just what you do for "fun" 
Gplex also sounds like a Google product.
It's actually a real estate firm[^] from Malaysia where all employees, from top management to senior management and team managers, look the same age.

That's because Real Estate Agents have a different genetic structure to the rest of us: they have but a single helix, and dissolve into slime rather than ageing as true DNA equiped individuals do.

Modified?
Current bibles are translations of translations and edits of edits of edits (*30-ish), and all the translations and edits were performed by partisan people with their own axes to grind, so there's nothing to stop you or anyone else adding their own spin to it..
Anyway, for all we know, your version could be the closest to the original.
Personally, though, I think it was probably a lot more like Harry Potter.

(Takes out wand) Amendo Scriptorium!
Translating from the Hebrew, the original English version of the verse I quoted is probably quite close to what Moses brought down the mountain. We have the Aleppo Codex of the entire Bible which dates back to the early 10th Century, and fragments that match it date back much further. The parts that have been most often changed are the parts that supposedly predict the coming of Jesus - replacing "Young Woman" in the original with "Virgin", etc.
