  1. Re:Deservedly so! on LotR Takes Top Spot on IMDB · · Score: 1
    Saruman did join forces with Sauron in the book.

    Quote:
    "A great power is arising. Against it the old policies and allies will not avail us at all...We may join with that power. It would be wise, Gandalf"

    I always interpret this to mean that new power (the third one) is arising, which needs to be headed by Saruman. This agrees with other Saruman's comments about the ending of an age, and that Men (as opposed to Elves) will be taking over.

  2. Other interesting links on Lord of the Rings and Hype · · Score: 1
    Here's the link to the official movie web site.

    And here is a very good fan movie site.

  3. LOGO in Russian on English Language And Its Effect On Programming? · · Score: 1

    I think I've seen a version of LOGO with Russian keywords. Probably because it's primarily for children. Of course that was mostly a translation of keywords, with little or no change in syntax.

    But I don't know of a language that was written in Russian initially, though there could've been one or several.

  4. Re:I'm not laughing on Zhirinovsky to "Send Viruses to the West" · · Score: 1

    Not that I disagree with you, but I want to mention that he got the second (I think) place in parliamnetary elections 6 years ago, and something similar, but lower 4 years ago. This time he is but the 6th, and just a bit above the threshold under which parties don't get seats (5%). So, there's yet hope for Russia.

  5. Re:Trouble on Zhirinovsky to "Send Viruses to the West" · · Score: 1

    You just don't know him, so don't try to guess. He has all but promised to get rid of the Jews (he is half-jewish, btw) in Russia.

  6. Re:The scary part... on Zhirinovsky to "Send Viruses to the West" · · Score: 1

    He actually has about 6% as of now. And he is serious, believe me. He scared a whole lot out of the western countries several years ago, when he started his career. There are too many chauvinist/ultra-nationalists in Russia, and he is the most prominent and the most ridiculous. He also promised to give a man to every russian woman, for example.
