I don't know what a tronchonne is. Should look that up. Its probably a truncheon. i.e. a baton or club.

We the Europeans are well cheesed off with the " borgs" of Microsoft and its operating System of Fenetres 2000 (Fen2K). We will investigate them for the breaches of the law on the competition. We have draconian capacities to strike the infringers very hard with large a tronchonne.
But we are not only worried about Petitsoft and its "borgs". We will also concern ourselves to the Internet site of "slashdotte", and the serious problem of "putains of Karma". It made clear breach of the European regulations to the subject of the control of the prositution and the religion.
Because slashdotte continues to distribute its infringements on the European internette, we have the sentenced it to a campaign of "trollement". By using the European surplus of hot porridge (the "hot grits "), and the services of the French actor Jean Reno, who has the charator of " Leon " in film of the same name, with NATALIE PORTMAN, we will flood Slashdot with bad posts
Actually - at least in the UK - The Government has been supporting GM crop trials. We do have our own GM crop trials. Its just the british people that are against it, generally because of FUD, masquerading as Environmental worries.

Although I'm anti GM simply because I don't like the idea of eating all the herbicides that herbicide resistant crops will have absorbed.
What if VA Linux is taken over by another company though. One that wants the software part, but doesn't believe that the users are important. (Yes, I know that this would be sheer stupidity on the part of a Linux distributor, but corporate stupidity is a common ailment)
Ever see the K-9 spin off though. Very 80's hi-tech. It had most amazingly cheesy intro ever. The intro also had K-9 dynamically sitting on a wall, and Sarah Jane smith sipping wine.

I did see this done in about this much Miranda (or Haskell or something like that anyway).
I learned about most of how JPG files are formatted. Its a shame I didn't really speak the language, so I still don't quite see how the huffman tree is represented in the file.
Mp3 should be possible as long as 100% compatibility wasn't required. I've heard that there's a lot of legacy code in there.
We need something that can be read as a poem, And also looks nice. And is also a functioning program in more than one language. And can b typd on a kyboard with no e's
Believe me, people know that GPFs and BSODs are bad.
Yes, but they don't know that the equivalents are less common on just about every other operating system.
That said, not everyone has problems with Windows crashing the Win 2000 machine I'm using at the moment hasn't crashed once in the past 2 weeks of uptime. (Another Win 2000 machine in the same room crashes about once a day, so I guess I was lucky)
1. Should the US Government be allowed to have total control over companies? (Typical answer: No) 2. Should organisations be punished for being successful? (Typical answer: No) 3. Should Microsoft be split up?
If you answer no to the other two, then you sound stupid saying yes to the third. Therefore most people say no. Publish only the answer to the third question and you have the result you want
(Okay, so Yes PM did it so much better, but thats because they had skilled script writers)
Sorry, but much as I hate Microsoft, I also hate the idea of a Governement breaking up a company purely because 90% of computer users are stupid enough to believe their FUD.
I'm also enough of a romantic to believe that eventually Microsoft will collapse from the weight of trying to keep Windows backwardly compatible, and at the same time copying all the new features that everyone else will invent.
I'm just wondering whether it would be financially viable for the industry to support MP3's.
So if a company was selling a CD containing about 2 hours of MP3's, for a small amount more than a normal CD, with explicit permission to put it on your hard disk, but not on a publicly available network, would you pay the extra for it?
Assuming it came with nice packaging, and you had a player, would you buy it in preference to downloading all the files from the internet?
Your entry must be [less than] 3217 bytes in length. The number of characters excluding whitespace (tab, space, newline), and excluding any ; { or } immediately followed by whitespace or end of file, must be [less than] 1536.
Why would anyone want to add newlines, tabs or whitespace?
This reminds me of something that one of my Teachers told us about when he worked for UNESCO.
Lego (and not Legos) is generally regarded as a good educational toy, and it doesn't take long for most children to understand it. So, he decided to send a huge lorry full of Lego to a small village to see if this would help their development. After a few months, they visited and found that none of the children were playing with Lego. Even after showing them how to use it, the children still didn't quite get the hang of it.
The problem was that the society they were in didn't use bricks.
So, people from different backgrounds will could be unfairly disadvantaged by Lego.

According to the article, the courts have in the past managed to prevent Progressive Magazine to publish plans for an H-bomb.
How did they achieve this?
And why did they bother? An H-bomb is:
A. Relatively simple to build and
B. Virtually impossible to get the parts for.
Apparently in France, the equivalent of Comet/Currys/Dixons sell modified DVD players off the shelves, and even sell imported DVD's
Oh yeah, My cousin worked at Comet. He said that all the staff there were clueless.
How can AMD ship this thing on time?
By shipping it and then announcing a shipping date:)
Yeah! A dalek series would be great.

How well do they work?
I'd have thought that there was a bit of a problem at the corners where there's a visible seam.
I'm sure the UK has experimenting with this sort of thing for training for a while now.
I just remeber reading an article about it, and the complaints that the Americans always refused to play the role of the Russians.

Well, in a democracy, the laws should me made by the people. If the people decide that a law is wrong then it should be repealed.
The death penalty has been abolished in a lot of countries simply because it became unpopular.

A great way to unwind on a Friday afternoon.
I wonder if they accept flames written by this complaint generator

I don't think there's anything stopping you from building your own bridge, or at least operating your own car ferry service.
The trouble with metaphors is that they're like elastic bands. Stetch them too far and they snap.
And hit you in the eye.
Aren't AOL involved somehow?
