Meaning of the title ? (I have a theory, but want to hear other answers first). StuRat 13:43, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
This phrase is used by both Robert Whittington in 1520 and by Erasmus, in Latin, in 1521. Here is the immediate context:
“More is a man of an angel’s wit and singular learning. He is a man of many excellent virtues; I know not his fellow. For where is the man (in whom is so many goodly virtues) of that gentleness, lowliness, and affability, and as time requires, a man of marvelous mirth and pastimes and sometime of steadfast gravity — a man for all seasons.”
--Robert Whittington, Vulgaria, 1520 1
“…it would be hard to find anyone who was more truly a man for all seasons and all men…” (…omnibus omnium horarum homo…: Here Erasmus alludes to 1 Corinthians 9:22, “I become all things to all men, that I might save all.”) --Erasmus, Letter to Guillaume Budé, 1521. 2
Dr. Clarence H. Miller3 on "a man for all seasons"

Does anybody know of a way to update the Wii without having a wireless connection? I'd consider it really useful if I could download an update, burn it to a CD/DVD, then put that CD/DVD into the Wii and "run" it. Thanks! RobI 14:39, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
I was wondering whether an author gets royalties for everytime their book is borrowed from a british public library.

The wiki article says Standard grade Video8 tapes can be used, but it is discouraged. If I ignored that advice and did it anyway, how will the Digital 8 recording appear? Is it similar to my attempts to record Digital VHS onto standard VHS? (It works, but with lots of pixelation.) - Theaveng 16:23, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
