RE: [OT] Yadayada

[Scott Stone <SStone@example.com>]

it's a reference to someone babbling on about nothing.. 

Kind of like:

"In related news, a large colony of mushrooms was found growing in Richard
Stallman's apartment today.. yada yada yada... and sources quote him as
saying, "fungus should fall under the GPL". "

like that :)

Sorry for this Offtopic post, but I was just wondering
about what "yada yada" means when it is used in an english text.
Does this refer to the japanese "yada" ?
AFAICS it is used in a different context...

Example from this weeks kernel-traffic:
|Mike A. Harris replied: 
|
|I find it very odd indeed with IBM's big voice of open source praise,
|yada yada, and what Lou has said in the past, that there would be any
|question at all of wether it would be open source or not.
|Isn't big blue behind open source? Or is it just for publicity?
|Makes me wonder now...
