  1. Re:Never going to happen on Is Simplified Spelling Worth Reform? · · Score: 1

    English hard to learn? You're crazy!
    English is just about the easiest language to learn there is.
    Ask anyone who studied both english and another language as foreign languages, I'm sure he will tell you english was easier.
    Why? The gramatic is quite simple, and i think people learn the spelling by heart anyway. At least I work this way. In Portuguese, we have very precise rules for how we should put accents on words. I learned them 100 times on school, but do I remember them? No. Even so I write correctly 99,9% of the time.

    Oh, and by the way: German may be phonetic in theory, but all the words that have french or english origin, for example, have kept their original spelling.

  2. Better than FIFA, no doubt on Konami's Winning Eleven Soccer Sweeps Japan · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The difference is, Winning Eleven FEELS like soccer. While in FIFA there usually was one or two ways to score, in WE you really have to vary your play.

    Actually, they didnt invent anything. Santos Dumont was the inventor of the airplane, if you don't know that.

  4. Does this apply to eletronic banking? on Linux Lands Big Bank Account · · Score: 1

    Anyone knows if this also apply to the 24-hour cash machines?
    I know there is one bank, Banrisul (bank of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) uses linux heavily, including on their cash machines. There is even a neat penguin on the lower right corner!
