A review of the celebrated new translation of WAR AND
PEACE in "The New Yorker" fails to address the obvious
question. This is arguably excusable in a review of a recording,
but how many times are you going to read Tolstoy's novel?
And I don't think it's all that excusable in a review of a recording.
Since a friend is reading the novel now, I tried to send the link,
and could not get past this bizarre "error" message.
Anyone know what this message means?
Google groups geeks do not seem to offer any assistance.
And of course Microsoft offers no assistance.
The message is appearing because whoever programmed the website (I
assume you're at nytimes.com) made a mistake. This is not Microsoft's
fault. Another browser might be more forgiving, but probably not.
More specifically, something like this is happening:
function doThis { doThis(); }
So when doThis() is invoked, it dives deeper and deeper into itself
(see 'recursion'), and the place where the system keeps track of such
things (see 'stack') eventually fills up ('overflows').
Hope this helped.
