As far as I recall, French allows you to skip accents on capital vowels.
In addition, I'm pretty sure French keyboards should have a ` and key. Setting them up to be dead keys so you can do [`] then [Shift]+[E] shouldn't be too hard.
Actually, let me correct you. "nap" is correct for a cat's view, but from the viewpoint of any sane owner, it should rather be "sit/lie down in uncomfortable position and close your eyes"
Latin is completely irrelevant nowadays, I'll give you that.
On the other hand, Latin is the key to all Indo-Germanic languages. If you're familiar with Latin, words and certain grammar structures will immediately seem familiar to you, which reduces learning time only if you actually take more than one Romanic language at a time, though. I think Latin shouldn't be a subject people should be forced to do. Being in a Latin-hating class can drastically lower your overall success at learning. If, however, students could voluntarily choose to add Latin to whatever they're forced to do, chances are that the Latin classes would be much smaller and much more efficient than they could be as a forced subject.
In addition, Latin doesn't have to be learned for the analytical and conceptial skill set anymore. After all, you pick that up while doing math already, so it's a waste of time for that reason.
Geometry can still be useful in case you don't want to trust/pay someone else with, for instance, the task in what angle you should put up your solar panels on your roof. It'll be rarely relevant for most people, though.
Isn't that pretty much the most stupid idea you could have? facebook knows too much about you like that already. Go troll somewhere you're more anonymous than on facebook. I guess that guy was partially jailed for massive stupidity.
I personally cannot see the problem if people or children swear. People seem to be shocked or surprised (or pretty much anything going in that direction) when they hear a child swearing. But what's the problem? They're words. I've failed to understand the issue for years now. They're just some words that seem to have a bad karma for pretty much no reason.
Could someone kindly tell me what the big idea is? Thanks.
I think that most, if not all, games would be incredibly much more boring if they'd stick to complete realism. What kind of idiot would have an army of nearly-undefeatable enemies just before the last few levels and have them attack one or two at a time? Instead, he'd just let everyone attack Mario at once.
In most Legend of Zelda games, Link would get instantly kicked out of all houses (Most of which should normally be locked anyway) after breaking all their pots. It's also very realistic that some random kid can slay devilish creatures but be unable to say just one thing (Unless he's got a trauma from all that fighting).
The Kirby games would lack their main protagonist, in fact. Hooray, realism rocks!
I cannot stress enough how important it is to keep only relevant e-mails. I can't imagine that you actually need all those e-mails. Every year, I clean out my inbox and see if these e-mails would ever be of any future relevance.
Keeping the "Happy Birthday" e-mails from your co-workers may not really be worth it after you've left the company. But keeping the response to a denied application with reasoning why you weren't hired, however, is worth it.
A clean inbox can make your life much easier, you won't get caught in all the micro organizing you need for big bulks of e-mail.
As an eager IRC user, something that bothers me to death is that ISPs must give out random IP addresses in order not to waste addresses that aren't in active use *right now*, although some ISPs even go as far as brutally disconnecting all clients once a day and shuffle addresses. This makes banning of troublesome users a terrible range banning, especially if the ISP doesn't manage to properly reverse-resolve IP addresses.
Since the IPv6 address space is ridiculously huge, the shuffling may even be unneeded, since IP addresses CANNOT run out as long as we only have humans on this planet and not as well in outer space.
I fear, however, that ISPs will simply keep the IP address shuffle so they can pointlessly gain money from people for a static IP address, being the evil blood sucking non-sparkly vampires they are.
We've been afraid of AI becoming too smart to kill the entire human race. This just got us a step further.
Just wait, we'll be in robot 1984 before we know it.
Why is this modded funny? Of course, it's a funny story, but on the other hand, it's depressing how Microsoft intentionally didn't give support to you but instead just pointed you to alternative solutions. That's as much bullshit as telling someone to use X when they want support with the perfectly fine program Y.

Shocking, isn't it? *badum-tish!*
Sexual intercourse can be considered a highly social act.

Why did Oracle buy Sun in the first place, exactly?
They're clearly trying to be the biggest trolls on the entire Internet. Ever.
Until next week, that is.
How much longer until they can abstract input even more and use correction tapes for playing NetHack?
Can't be long now, NetHack runs on pretty much anything.

Let's not forget that feel is an important part as well. Happy "tripping," everyone.
Hey, just because you are social, that doesn't mean that there aren't sociopathic people out there!
(Insensitive clods these days...)

Google is easy to spell if you're a native speaker of English. I've seen too many failures to spell Google in German, even nowadays.

Thank you for this great tip!
Indeed, Adobe has a security team. They're just too busy fixing other people's stuff to find vulnerabilities in their own products.
Honestly, if that happens, people will try and get around the system. If that doesn't work, I think we have a valid suicide reason.
Let's all just sit here all day. We're gonna die anyway, so we might as well abuse it. Don't feel like living? Just sit here and play NetHack!

Just see how much impact their idea had! (And of course, how well it worked.)

The only statistics you can trust are those you falsified yourself.
You do know that there's a 3/4 chance of them being reborn, right? (If you don't get it, play more NetHack.)
