That was pretty good, but you forgot the reference to Jerry Lewis. That would have made it first rate, but how can you criticize a frenchman's sense of humor without mentioning Lewis?
Seinfeld? I'd be hard pressed to name a more annoying show.
Eveyrbody on that show is a neurotic liar. I gave it a watch a couple of times, due to the buzz, and I found it painful to watch. Nobody on that show acts with nobility, but acts instead with some kind of Machiavellian neurotic lying conformist idiocy.
What he describes is the old Photoshop LE software, which was basically just older versions of Photoshop not eligible to be upgraded.
Photoshop LE had only one level of undo, which made it absolutly unusable and an exercise in exasperation. The marketing department must have been smoking crack the day they decided to cripple it in that way.
Americans like yourself only care about america (though not all americans are so blind to rest of the worlds needs, like climate change).
And who are you, frickin' Mahatma Gandhi or something.
Here, let me clobber you with a cluestick: These "Americans" you speak of are self-interested. Sure.
But so are you. You think it's in YOUR best interest to 'globalize' the Internet for the same selfish reasons Americans might think otherwise.
So STFU, and stop thinking you're some kind of saint because you have views contrary to Americans'.
If you want to argue the merits of an issue, go ahead, but don't pull that crap about how "Americans are so america centric.". Everyone except saints looks out for their own interests, you included, as you are most certainly no saint.
The last thing in the world _I_ would want was the respect of the French, Iraqis, or Chinese (England does not matter because they're America's bitch anyway). When THOSE cats start respecting you, you know you're doing something wrong.
Their fear, sure. That is of value. Their respect? No.
How many times have You heard someone say If I had his money I could do things my way
But little they know That it's so hard to find One rich man in ten With a satisfied mind
(this is what Bud was listening to in his trailer in Kill Bill 2)
WTF do people WANT? There are people who all they do is go to parties all day, being chauffered around and catered to at every turn who are MISERABLE. Conversely, there are people who literally shovel shit all day who are happy as clams. Jesus H. Christ, Kurzweil has absolutly no clue what a 'utopia' would be like.

You probably work for a true IT company. I don't. I work for a traditional publisher which happens to require and have IT people.
I'm amazed your employer allows you to walk around with company data in your pocket.
Not only do they allow us, they GAVE us flash drives as tokens of appreciation after completion of some project (with the company name and project title silk screened on it).
Not everyone with IT skills works for a tech savvy company. I do all my work on my 1 gig flash drive, pop it out and take it home, then plug it into my home machine, where it gets backed up every night. It's a much more reliable solution than their network backups, which are iffy.
No, I'm not like you. I like to keep work at work, and out of my home, where I have better things to do than work.
Ommmmm... just because you want all your data with you wherever you are dose not mean you can't keep work and home separate. The two are not mutually exclusive.
My data is valuable, and the latest and greatest versions of ALL my digital efforts, logs, spreadsheets, documents, text files, scripts, are always where I am.
And of those 40 people who believe you, 39 of them are dysfuncional, hairy, compulsive liars and masturbaters, much like yourself. I'm sure you hit it off quite well.
Oh my, it seems one of you filthy American moderators has singled me, Le Marteau, out of this thread as 'off topic'. Whatever will I do. How long will my maxed-out karma last me at this rate?
That was not 'off topic'. This, however, is: You are a pickup driving, tobacco chewing, Hee Haw watching, cousin fucking, banjo playing, rebel flag waving, 'yee haw!' yelling slack-jawed drooling meatslapper. A NASCAR watching, malformed spawn of trailer trash, fit only for work in the lower, less challenging forms of food service such as McDonald's.
Oh, and one more thing. You can suck my French balls, for my civilzation has given the world mayonnaise. What have YOU given the world, filthy American? Cheese in an aerosol can? Scrapple?
I also forgot one taunt: I wave my naughty bits at your auntie.
You empty-headed animal food-trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries! Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!
I was looking at the Shuffle, then I realized you can't change the battery. When the battery no longer holds a charge, you gotta toss it. That was what pushed me over to getting an iriver T30.
In this age of cheap commoditized consumer electronics and advanced mobile technology, why can't all the people of a city make contact during an emergency?
That is the dumbest question I have ever seen on Slashdot.
Sure, cell PHONES are cheap, but have you priced the towers and the infrastructure that SUPPORTS the phone? Plus, even though your cell phone has a battery, the batteries at the cellular provider won't last long when the entire frickin' CITY is without power.
"Open Orifice". How brilliant of you to come up with a name that describes the product better than its actual name, just by replacing a few letters. No, wait, you didn't
I generally wouldn't recommend using them in an environment where it was important to maintain compatibility with Microsoft products.
e.g. in real life. He's a school kid. Yeah, Open Orifice is great for school, where the profs are more open minded than, say a 'client' or a 'boss'.
Then he goes: My school even offers students copies of MS Office for $25 and I never bothered to get one since, for me, it would just be a waste of $25.
There goes all his credibility out the window.
Note: This review was written using OpenOffice.
Wow. What an age we live in. One can actually write a review in something besides MS Office. Wonders never cease.

That was my Hallowe'en costume
Hallowe'en??? Is that what they call it in Hawai'i?
Why do they call it 'bollywood'?
That was pretty good, but you forgot the reference to Jerry Lewis. That would have made it first rate, but how can you criticize a frenchman's sense of humor without mentioning Lewis?
Please do try to remember that, for next time.
HTH.

What are you, a retard? Or do you just play one on
'STFU' is not a command, it's an interjection. As in "I say, old boy, I think you may be mistaken in your views."
Americans like yourself only care about america (though not all americans are so blind to rest of the worlds needs, like climate change).

nothing is faster than the speed of light
That's not what special relativity says. Special relativity says nothing can travel AT the speed of light. It says nothing about FASTER.
Correct - Oregon is just like Iowa. Do not come here.
Oh wow, man, I'm sorry that happened. Thanks for the warning, though (that was a close one!)
Oregon! Yeah!
Next up: Iowa! Yes!
