    Most Hungarian websites are available in Magyar and English. That was a link to the English version, the Magyar version is also available, but it uses the logo. It's available at: http://fvm.gov.hu/index_hu.html

  2. Forget Hungry and Chuck Norris by turultan2 · · Score: 0, Redundant · on Stephen Colbert vs The Hungarian Government

    It is a sad state of affairs when the technical people of the most powerful and mega-nuclear-trigger happy country on Earth cannot tell the difference between "Hungry" and "Hungary" and haven't a clue to where it is. I say this as a Hungarian (magyar) who was born and lived in United States, but moved to Hungary for good. Yes... I live a few kilometers from the said bridge. But if the slashdoters wish to vote for a worthy name for the said bridge why not try this: http://www.m0hid.gov.hu/ The second or third menu on the left will give you a long list of radio buttons. (try them all, until you see the long list) Forget Chuck Norris. Why not vote for something from our history: Vajk-Istvan Hid (my recomendation) Vajk/Istvan was our first catholic king of Magyarorszag - 1006 years ago. Vajk was his pagen name, Istvan his christian name, he gave up the first and assumed the second. The bridge is realy two bridges because it is so long.. so the name is fitting. If the slashdotters feel up to it, lets push this bridge name up the list. Give it a try (when the server is responding again - 1-3 days) Ja..and did you know that Hungary is a nation wealthy in foodstuff. Throughout history there has never been an extended period of hunger. There was always plenty of food, and the weather was kind too. Plus it was THE wealthiest nation in Europe several times in history.

  4. Instructions on how to vote for Stephen by nofactzone · · Score: 5, Informative · on Stephen Colbert vs The Hungarian Government
    The mission, should you choose to accept it: Get Stephen Colbert's name voted in as the bridge name for this new bridge in Hungary spanning the Danube River.

    To accomplish your task:

    To vote, go here- http://www.m0hid.gov.hu/szavaz

    UPDATE!!! Walk-through of the voting process:
    • If you can actually get through to this page, do an "Edit - Find (on this page)" for "Colbert" and it should take you straight to his nomination.
    • Make sure you have found Stephen Colbert and not Steven Colbert (don't split the vote kids!). Click on the button by his name to vote for him.
    • Then go to the bottom of the web page and click the "Elküld" button (the square one at the bottom of the page), and your vote should be submitted.
    • DO NOT try to sort the nominees by ABC, because as heavily trafficked as this site is right now, you're lucky to connect to the site once.
    • If you can click the round button by his name, and click on the "Elküld" button at the bottom of the page, your vote should count.

    The site is still only partially accessible due to the overload in traffic I imagine (lots of "Cannot Find Server" errors). But I did submit the nomination and at least one of the members of the Colbert Nation got through enough to get him on the ballot. On the form for justification for the nomination, I submitted "Lép Colbert van a áthidal között Magyarország és Amerika" Which means (according to Translation-guide.com): "Stephen Colbert is the bridge between Hungary and America". (Actually, what I'm pretty sure has happened is that the internet translation tool has mangled the translation and it says something like "Stephen Colbert has complete apple frog feet for the Mopping of Americans" or something.)

    So vote early, and vote often.
