Seriously, man, the original comment was my being facetious and taking that capitalism remark very, very literally. If you are *currently* poor, then capitalism is *obviously* not good for you. That's all. Bye now.
A *FEW* nights drinking? In my day that'd last for the first 17 minutes of a good drinking session. Good Lord, you youngsters are falling down on the job of being drunken students.
Fuck you. No need to be so cranky about. My point was, *if* you are poor, then capitalism *obviously* isn't good for you. The same would apply to any other system too. How in the name of Christ you leapt to the conclusion that I am somehow a communist or socialist from that eludes me.
Different country, similar experience. I attend the then-named Cork Regional Technical College for a two-year National Certificate (Associates Degree) in Computing. It was an interesting blend of the theoretical and the practical. Languages covered were (don't laugh, I'm old, this was the mid-80s) RPGIII, COBOL, Z80/6502 assembly, dBaseII, some kind of awful BASIC on a Prime 750, Pascal, C. You were expected to learn everything beyond the basics about each of these languages on your own.
You'd be surprised -- it's experiencing something of a revival. There are pockets of native speakers who use it daily, mostly along the west coast and southwest. But in English-speaking areas, lots of Gaelscoilanna (Gaelic Schools) are starting up where all instruction is in Irish. My nephews both went to these and are fluent and speak beautiful, soft Munster Irish. It shames me that I can't converse with them... when I try they just look at me like I'm an idiot, my command of the language is that bad.
Rokzy, weren't you asking after PowerBook upgrade options (specifically adding memory) recently here on Slashdot... did you decide to go with the iBook after all?
Every Nordic person I've ever met has been "riv ruskende gal", it's true...! From my sister-in-law the Finn to that Danish bloke Paul who I got drunk with at the bar of a hotel in Haarlem with one Christmas. The whole lot of yiz! Bonkers!
Regarding your Winston Churchill quote, Lars... you're the first person I've encountered who doesn't buy into the Anglo-American myth that Churchill was a genius who defended "freedom". That fucker and his father wreaked unwanted havoc in my homeland (Ireland). "Defense of small nations" my arse. While his crew was off fighting wars to defend "little Belgium" they were simultaneously shooting Irish citizens dead in their own streets.

For the love of all that's funny, somebody mod Cro Magnon up!
I can't believe nobody else has commented on how funny this is... good one, Cahiha!
It's "Vive la France" man, you should know that by now.
It's Mac, not MAC. Mac is an abbreviation of Macintosh.
Downloading and installing the 10.3.9 combo update fixed this for me.
I'm getting segfaults on a 17" PB G4 1GHz. Crap.

Or a third response... #3 I don't care in the slightest about JJ.
Is capitalism good for the poor? Surely not, isn't that self-evident?

I have the same machine and had the same attitude... I don't live a lifestyle. I just use computers.
I guess you're joking, but he meant "Pretty cool little machine, that..." where the "that" refers to the computer. A very English turn of phrase.
Damn it Cian, now you've let the cat out of the bag. Or "puiscin amach an mala"?

Of course not. They put that in there to bother you. Devious Irish.
If this is your main motivation for applying for citizenship I'm not surprised the Department of Justice refused you!
Not quite "hundreds of billions". A few billion, or maybe in the low teens, but hundreds of billions? Nah. Don't think so.
