Linguistics Meets Linux: A Review of Morphix-NLP
Emre Sevinc writes "Zhang Le, a Chinese scientist working on Natural Language Processing has decided to pack the most important language analysis and processing applications into a single bootable CD: Morphix-NLP. More than 640 MB of NLP specific software is included and there's still a lot of place on the CD which uses a compressed filesystem for bringing us the best of both worlds."
Florking Cusser!
I wish there was a way for me, as a Christian, as a human being, to sit down with some of you and have a pleasant, civil discussion without bitterness or sarcasm. I don't force people to believe what I believe. I don't mock others with different beliefs. I hope I can find the words to explain myself, as my life goes on. I hope I can help people to see.
How is it racist if a particular group of people have a poor grasp of English?
In Soviet China bootable CD packs YOU.
Well, the reason that they have trouble pronouncing them is that L and R are the same letter in their alphabet.
And since when can Westerners pronounce anything?
Last time I checked they couldn't pronounce a single Russian word half-way correct.
I want a bootable Linux cd that just runs Duke Nukem Forever. DNF is all that matters.
Who said Communism was bad?
if so, kewl!
*Summons up best Grand Theft Auto 2 voice* SLAAAAAASHDOTTED!
For those cretons who don't know to what I'm referring, think "Kiiiiiill Frenzy!"

i think this site here has a better explanation
I'm just glad he's going to be dead soon.
I'm going to punish the baby boomers (I know he's not one) when they go into the nursing homes for all the bullshit they've caused and attention they've demanded. It's gonna be soylent green time baybe!
(I'm only half joking. But it's gonna be fun getting the last laugh. I say we have mass execution chambers. Just for anyone who's been through hippies, disco, yuppies, clinton and believed *all* of it)
It's amazing how you can have so much functionality and interesting products surface out of the free linux kernel but still not dominate the market. Reminds me of this joke :
if operating systems ran the airplanes
Air DOS Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then they jump on and let the plane coast until it hits the ground again. Then they push again, jump on again, and so on...
Mac Airlines All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look and act exactly the same. Every time you ask questions about details, you are gently but firmly told that you don't need to know, don't want to know, and everything will be done for you without your ever having to know, so just shut up.
Windows Air The terminal is pretty and colorful, with friendly stewards, easy baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. After about 10 minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no warning whatsoever.
Windows NT Air Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes and takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it explodes.
Linux Air Disgruntled programmers decide to start their own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the runways themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket yourself. When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is, "You had to do WHAT with the seat?"
Let me tell you my plans are uniquely my own. My grief has nothing to do with right or left. I'm gonna turn 'em into fertiziler :-)
