i feel compelled to point out that it's Japanese that doesn't have the L sound in their language, causing Japanese persons to say words with an L with the closest thing they can come up with, that is, R.
While I can't claim to know much about all Chinese languages, at least some of them have the L sound, so they probably have no problem saying "Hollywood", even if they have a comical accent.
Even better. Remember that it's the Republican right that wants to kill science and education. To much thinking and educating interferes with religious indoctrination.
if we're going by stereotypes, wouldn't you say that the Republicans are into science because it can build better weapons, and the Democrats would rather take the money away and give it to The Poor?
I have an old 5GB iPod too, and I've been using it with iTunes for Windows with no problems.. however, mine was always Windows-formatted (I just used Musicmatch and later ephpod before iTunes/Windows came out).
One thing that bugs me about Windows is that it seems to not want to acknowledge that other filesystems exist. It's trivial to mount a FAT32 drive in FreeBSD, a bit tougher with NTFS but still fairly easy. I belive Macs can read FAT32 as well but I'm not positive. But will Windows read UFS or HFS? No, because Windows is the only OS anyone would use, of course. *rolleyes*
sadly the 9th and 10th amendments have been ignored for a long time, some would say paving the way for the subsequent ignorance of the other amendments.

You could argue that, but you'd just be trolling for karma. If the use percantages were reversed, there'd be just as many mac and *nix problems.
That's only true if everyone ran Mac and *nix as root all the time, which is how Windows works by default. (Not that there wouldn't be people who did just that...)
*nix (including OSX) is *more secure by design* than Windows. Saying it's not is closer to trolling than what the grandparent post said, and I guess I fell for it.
Shit, you honestly probably do worse when you bend down and peer into the microwave to check the status of your microwavable Fat Fucker (tm) Breakfast Burrito.
maybe if your microwave doesn't have a door on it...
Not really. About 12 (out of 50, remember) states have English specified as an official language, but that's really about it as far as "protecting English". And just because it's an "official" language in those states doesn't mean there's anything ridiculous like making people post all signs in English. People can post signs in whatever language they want. If a company thinks that speaking Esperanto will make them more money, they'll do it. It's just that everyone here speaks English, so there's no point.

yeah, almost the same thing, there.

This principle works with world superpowers, it also works with school children.

Some would say there's not much difference..
You must be able to explain how the war criminals Blair and Bush are profiting from all this.
BUSH IS THE DEVIL DON'T QUESTION IT NO BLOOD FOR OIL!!!
sorry, I let one of the Angry Liberals near my keyboard again. I swatted him and he went away though.
haha, I see you got modded down, too. Other people must be letting their Angry Liberals near their computers too.
It will not be long before the UK becomes the 51st state.
That's ridiculous.
The UK would be at least 5 states, I'm sure.

wow, you're an asshole.

All I know about Bush is I had a job when Clinton was president.
Bush personally fired you, did he?
(geez, I don't like Bush much either, but blaming him for you losing your job is pathetic)

The "second" official language? We don't have a first official language.
Most geeks can't get a date with the pimply faced, slightly overweight girl in his English class..
just because *you* can't, doesn't mean the rest of us are so disadvantaged.
Um, what? When did they do anything like that? Source?
