Another one! Please look at what you posted: the original Civ 2!! If it was an original, it probably wouldn't have needed a following number, now would it? Guess I'm getting old...
that there are exactly two Dutch words that have been integrated into English without problems? Apartheid is one of them. somehow this makes me want to move to another country...
I meant Civ, not CivII. You know, the one where your opponents whooped your ass first and asked questiosn later if you accidentally clicked on "Emperor" and "7 Civilizations".
Have you seen a more perfect example of racism on slashdot in the last days then his post??
Yeah, a couple of those. They all disappeared quite quickly as either offtopic or flamebait. Although not at all perfect, the moderation system does take care of these jokers. The fact that my reply to you was a joke should be interpreted as me not taking the original poster seriously at all. Oh and yes, I am from Holland, I do speak German, and I spent the last week with a number of very nice French people.
or most of europe against the french because of napoleon.
The reason most of Europe is against the French is country-specific. The English hate them for their eternal warfare and the rest of us hate them because they hate us. The fact Chirac keeps whining about our drugs-policies might have something to with it as well...:-)
What's bloody new? Every new invention is first used in a military way after which it will benefit the general population. Or are you telling me you finished the Colossus before you even built one Phalanx? Huh?
What the lady is saying comes down to: OK kids, the real world sucks and we know it. Why don't we just dive into the artificial reality known as the Net so that all the evil people out there can do their evil things without us noticing. Did anybody read the Running Man by Richard Bachman(Stephen King). In the book it was a TV-station, but that's about it.
Too bad most judges and legal people have no clue on what acceptable normal behaviour is on various parts of the Net. They should ask people who do know, if not justice will be ill-served.
Why don't you run for judge? You have my vote. Not that that matters...
In a situation where the only person allowed to touch the thing doesn't touch it? Yep, definitely. In all other cases, you'll still run into funny trouble.
If all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail.
And if you've got is a very big gun, do some troubleshooting. My monitor is broken!! BLAM Yep, that's broken allright. Unfortunately, calling me to fix it voided your warranty. Have a nice day...
Sorry dude, but it's very well possible to do an installation of windoze that is stable and remains stable. You just need to know which crap is automatically launched when Windoze is started and get rid of it. All those diagnostic tools that automatically launch are what causes Windoze to crash...among other things of course.
Well, since MAC OS X is a graphical shell based on a *NIX OS, it should be very well possible to create a *cough* Windows clone that looks familiar to Joe Shmoe but allows Mr. Sysop to dig into the underlying code. It Linux keeps growing at this rate, M$ might very well come out with a concept like this in the future.
The only real expense might be people, as Linux does require more knowledge to be kept running than Windows IMHO. OTOH there are a lot of people that would be willing to work in an environment like this for a smaller wage just because of the principle.
Your post somehow smells a bit trolly, but this could be my paranoid self, of course...
If you want to do an interview, how about posting a story with your questions, and allow people to answer it? You can always go into the up, close and personal later on.

No, "Knight Moves" was cool. Just the fact that Lambert was not swinging a sword around for a change...
The opposite of a PS2. In other words, a computer that can play chess.
P.S. As everyone will live forever, it's no big deal to finance someone on their super 3d plasma virtual reality tv for 1000 years.
Oh my god, immortality is bad. you can't even die to get rid of your debts.. And yes, I ripped that from Heinlein...

Verstehe ich schon. Aber mein Hollandisch und Franzosich sind doch wirklich besser wie meinen Deutsch....
Das es kein English war?

Penguins are bad. Penguins eat fish. Without fish, people don't understand this story...

"I'm sorry, but the customer you have just dialed is either out of ranger or has deactivated their cell phone. Please try your call again."
Sorry, out of range...Boss should have bought a better phone. Battery empty is also a good one...

That definitely should solve the overpopulation-problem. Why conquer space if you can rebuild it?

I can't believe that NT is the most popular choice for NT servers.
I don't know. Using NT for a NT server sounds pretty logical to me. Using NT for a Linuxserver, that might be bad.

IBM, who sold the machines, is happy as can be, of course.
This is awful!!! A company that's happy because they made a major sale!!! Arrgghh, evil corporations. Oh wait, they run Linux. Oops, good boy.
