  4. Re:One thing not to loose: subtlety on HHGTG Screenwriter Interviews Himself · · Score: 1

    There are differences between the British and American film canons, but it's nothing as simple as "subtlety".

    But the difference is there, eg: Monty Python.

    British: Do you want to come upstairs ?
    US: Do you want a blowjob ?

    British: I wish I'd been a girly just like my dear papa
    US: I wish I'd been a girly just like my dear mama

    etc.

    I find the original British version funnier.

  11. Re:Call me ignorant, but... on Rexx Is Still Strong After 25 years · · Score: 4, Informative

    REXX is/was the replacment for things like EXEC & EXEC2. Really crappy langauges. If you have used these, you will understand why people use and like REXX. Though it is a pity IBM never released REXX for free, it is a fun sorta language, easy to learn and still quite powerful, though things like stemmed variables have a lot of system overhead.

    Basically I think you had to be a Swedish corporation and you could only get one related to your name.

    Same here in au, to register a .com.au you must have a business registered in that name or you get refused.
