I know one. He married a relative of mine which happens to be from Austria, now he's learning German (and she's learning French for that matter).
I've been told that French people are generally pretty open-minded as long as they aren't in their own country.

The Euro-symbol ( - hope you can read it) is only part of the character set ISO 8859-15, which is an extension to the well known ISO 8859-1.
US Mac users can access it by using opt-shift-2.

Good luck when trying to use a plane on a planet without atmosphere (like Pluto).
What about people who want to run both at the same time?
I see, now you are speechless because theres not any other choice besides Lindows, or Wine.
Nope. Get a second computer (so you can run Windows on one and Linux on the other) and use an X-server for Windows. Both systems at the same time! yay!
CoreFoundation is not Foundation. CoreFoundation is a C-based API for arrays, dictionaries, sockets etc. On Mac OS X, Foundation is an Objective C-wrapper around it.
(I don't know it this is serious, but I'll respond anyways)
Also, the link in your signature is broken. Some webpage comes up, but the text is all garbled and unreadable.
Well, there's something I have to tell you now. It might be a bit disturbing, and you might not believe me, but: There are languages besides English! Even hundreds of them!
That "garbled" page is plain German. That's why it's called "zivildienst.at" (.at -> Austria -> German talking country). German (spoken in Germany, Austria and parts of the countries around them) is pretty similar to English, that's why you can recognize some words (Kontakt is German for contact). Additionally, it's common here to use English for Computer-related things like "download".
There's much more censorship in the US than in Germany. For example, it's quite normal to say "fuck" and "shit" (or the German words "Ficken" and "Scheiße") on public TV, and nudism is very common, even in the afternoon.
To those people that complain about spammers not being from the local country: I've already managed to stop the development of a spam tool because of that particular law (yes, I'm Austrian).
So those laws certainly do help.
That's why God invented LAN-parties. Get eight network cards for $30 each plus one hub for $20. Maybe you need some cabling for around $80, but that's it. That's a total of $340 plus one game (the others can use the spawn version I think), about one third of your system - and some friends might even already have ethernet and a hub.
You're looking at the developer level, not the user level.
The graphics system features true transparency and full font antialiasing, something the X11-folks can only dream about.
Hardware-support is great and will even get better over time.
It's slow currently, but 10.1 is usable on my G3/300M, and next year, when the G5/2.4G will be released, accelerated OpenGL will be unnecessary.
All major apps already are or will be available soon.
Virtually no PC game allows head-to-head play without everyone owning their own PC and then networking them together.
Even if all of the above were satisfied you can't crowd 6 people around a 17" monitor.
Even if you could, most people don't have couches and tables around their computer for spectators to watch them game.
What about Internet gaming? It would be no problem for me to get seven friends with at least a 17" monitor and a permanent Internet connection. Spectators are no problem in Quake 3 or UT, too.
And most consoles don't have any way to get onto the Internet, so you always have to get your friends to move their asses from their chairs to your TV set.
Writing an FS driver is always complicated, that's why I wrote "relatively". Apple seems to be too busy constructing mp3 players and semi-transparent windows to create one.
And a UPS is always better than a journalled FS.
You didn't mention anything Mac OS X can't do (except the journalled FS, which would be relatively easy to add). Additionally, Mac OS X is mostly open source and has a far better graphics engine (albeit slower).
I'm not impressed.
I actually played both Demos, which I enjoyed very much. I particularly liked the fact that each unit had his/her own name and identity. But it's only designed for single-player, and my main excuse for playing at home is to train for LAN-parties:)
Back to chess -- there is no unit production, so there are no "mass unit" strategies. A game where all players have identical starting units would remove that strategy. But then gameplay might suffer in other ways.
Yes, I can see it now:
Start game
Send units to enemy
BOOM
Maybe win (chance of 50% when playing against one enemy)
you'd still have the player having to divide their attention in real-time
What about playing *with* your friends? In StarCraft, that mode is called "Team Free For All". For example, you are responsible for 3 teams, and your friend is responsible for another 3. In a LAN-game, you can discuss that with your partner (or use Roger Wilco). Much better than any AI.
care to explain why you classify a legal way to avoid the draft for Europeans as slavery
Organizations can order one person for EUR 763.06 per month
That person "earns" EUR 174.85 per month
There's no legal way to avoid that duty
These persons work side-by-side with other people who earn around EUR 1400 per month (same work, but the slaves have more hours per week).
If one of these persons comes late to work once, a penalty of up to EUR 726.72 has to be paid (Note that you don't earn that much in the whole duration of the duty). Same goes for every other failure to deliver your work as expected.
The organization is allowed to define how many hours of work have to be done, and they can define when that should happen (5am/7 days a week? no problem).
There's no way to escape, other than prison or spending the rest of the life under a nice bridge (after paying that penalty).
You're treated like dirt (that's a personal experience).
There are some points that classify as slavery for me (esp. 1 and 6). The truth is that our far-right government doesn't want anybody to do it, so they make life as hard as possible for everybody who does.
ISO 9660 is a CD-ROM format, not for HDs. Yes, it could be UFS or FAT, but why should it? It was certainly not a priority to make it cross-platform (and the Apple Store Hotline even told someone that it's mac only).

That's wrong, you're talking about the regular ObjC. If you rename all your files to .mm, you will be able to mix both languages:
class myclass { public: myclass() { NSArray *array=[NSArray array]; } };
on clicked theObject
end tell end clickedI tried to do it in Objective C about a week ago, and I gave up just because it's too complicated.
As long as you don't use sheets, drawers, CoreFoundation or anything else that doesn't exist anywhere else.

Try this. Maybe it's called "nudity", who cares?
It's just a matter of history.
At least here somebody has to pay for returning only if you repackage the mail.
Adding a brick is certainly repackaging.
