"Ah, kamisama! Ore no atama ni ono ga arimasu yo!."
This is not a criticism or "correction", but I am genuinally interested because I am learning Japanese:
Shouldn't it be "Ore no atama ni wa ono ga arimasu yo!"
And does it mean "Oh, God! There really is an axe in my head!" (or "There IS an axe in my head!" - I'm having trouble translating the "yo" without knowing the context).
Ah, come to think of it, it isn't a quote from "Battle Royale" is it ? I cracked up when that guy had an axe sticking in his head and the hero just goes "Daijobu desu ka?" ("Are you all right?").
I go to Japan twice a year. When I went in late April the PCG-U1 was out and I *so* wanted one, but it was about 150,000 yen and I didn't have the money.
I swore when I went back (which was last week) that I would take enough money to buy a U1. However, I figured, since the U3 would be coming out about a week and a half after I left that the U1 would have got cheaper- not so- it was still 150,000 yen. They had 2nd hand ones in Sofmap (A big computer hardware shop), but they were like 120,000 which was a bit pricey for 2nd hand I thought.
In the end I couldn't really afford one so I ended up buying a shitload of anime products, manga, a DVD burner (1/2 the price it would have been in the UK) and an expensive Go board instead.
My brother has got a job in Japan starting next week though, so I will be able to get constant news from him about new Vaios and their prices.

Natural languages do not make good models for computer languages. If you wrote a "compiler" that allowed the sort of thing you're asking for then it would be so very very hard to track down bugs because natural languages are ambiguous, while computer programming languages are not.
I suspect what you are really looking for is a shortcut to learning to program. Please forgive me for saying this, but I'm basing it on your "IF clong(......" stuff.
Actually, maybe I just got trolled? No matter, my post will serve to educate people, eliminate hunger and poverty and squash competition in the Linux desktop arena.
"At one desk, users can move a wireless mouse's pointer from the screen of one computer to the screen of a laptop, with no wire or wireless connection between the computers themselves. That allows copying or moving material between the computers, a task that would otherwise be more difficult."
Hahahahah! The idea that it would be really hard to copy info between 2 computers unless you can drag from one desktop to another! Even in Windows you can just open 2 explorer windows if you REALLY REALLY HAVE TO use drag 'n' drop to copy files.

Not true, since there are assembly routines to correctly identify every model of x86 cpu.
Although it would be very bad of me I technically could write a program that crashed if you ran it on anything later than a 486 (or a 386, or a pentium 2 etc. etc.).
"Bravo, young parent. But once the basics are covered you will probably also worry about the kind of world you are making for your children"
Hmmm. I have clothed and fed my children and provided for them such that they are happy, and my wife too, but OH NO! I just realized I have helped to create a world where there is only one desktop!
OH MY GOD! I have failed! If only I had quit my job on principle so that... er.... so that somebody else would have done it and the world would still only have one desktop but my family would be starving, living on the streets and clothed in rags....
" To be fair, this battery thing was long before Iraq became what it is today."
Really ? The people of Iraq in ancient times were the Assyrians, and back in 3000BC they weren't running round like The Rock smiting evil- they were more into nailing the skins of evildoers onto the city walls, building piles of body parts from their enemies and demanding tribute from places for no reason.
Also the Assyrians invaded a whole bunch of places, slew many and did a fair bit of feasting. They had numerous wars with their neigbours.
Agreed. Now it would make sense for all commercial software to be open source because it seems there is no difference between disassembling it to find out how it works and using it to find out how it works.

Don't you see that if you have to get a server's permission to play it they can then charge for every time you play it ?
