It's "à la carte" and it has nothing to do with a cart like in "shopping cart" or "golf cart".

"à la carte" comes from french restaurants where you have the "table d'hôte" where you buy a meal where everything is included for a fixed price by opposition with "à la carte" where you pay for every item individually.

In restaurants, "la carte" means a menu of items that you can pick individually.

"Une carte" is also used to name a card in a deck of cards used to play poker. "Une carte routière" is a road map so "carte" may also mean map.

From Paris.

What is that "Senior System Engineer/Architect" thing doing in a slashdot sig?

Furthermore, your sig says: "Notice: If you post anonymously do not expect a reply" and you just replied to an anon!

You seem to have problems following basic algorithms which is questionable for a " Senior System Engineer/Architect".

Take care nevertheless man ;-)
