I recently got the good news that one of my papers was accepted by a journal not to be named, but is indexed by SCI and other well known indexing services. Well, at least I think it was accepted. The email was rather vague and I am not 100% certain if the paper was actually [...]

Console.WriteLine(replaced);

will output [...]

The original version of my KANT library, which was done using .NET 1.1 and is in use by various projects at my university, would [...]
