Many of the so-called "convicts" banished to Australia were in fact political prisoners, Irish republicans and the like, or people convicted of theft of small amounts of food during a time of famine.
The day that every motherboard's BIOS uses strong crypto to demand the master boot record be signed with a secret key known only to Microsoft is the day that Linux becomes a thing of the past.
Please, spare me the paranoia. That's like saying, the day author X murders all other authors is the day we all start reading author X. It could happen, but is it likely?
Fair enough. I lived in Germany for years (Frankfurt and Munich) and think very highly of Germany and Germans in general... if only Ireland was run so well.
I never said that it was the Germans "fault". Yes, Germany is the de facto leader of Europe due to its economic might, huge population and its influence within the Union. Why are you being so defensive?
As a European, I have no problem with that scenario. Just as long as Nazis aren't in charge. As it happens, most of Europe is heading for unification (slowly, but surely) and the Germans are mostly running the show anyway.
Tsk tsk, AS/400, that's eServer iSeries now! The AS/400 has blinking lights from (at least) when they brought out those crippled "server" models such as the 53S back in 1996. Can't remember if the older, beige boxes had them... I think they had an LCD display that did something similar.
Hear hear -- of the 50 or so Indians I've worked with over the last few years, only two stand out as above average, the rest were definitely below average if not useless.

That's hilarious, you should be on TV.
Theo de Raad, not Raat. Or was that mistake intentional?
And where will you go, you ill-informed twit? Oh, and it *is* already happening in your glorious USA.

Eh? I now see that you can't speak English either.
It's because they're idiots, you see.
Christ, stop rambling and get to your point.
If you're going to bother translating arbitrary words into French, at least get them right. It's "ordinateur", not "ordinator".

This is the correct spelling in many Englsih-speaking countries.
Oh, I almost forgot -- mother fucking asshole dildo pus licking dipshit.
Uwe,

I'd be interested to check back and see if your opinion changes if you *do* get CTS or RSI. Foolish youngster.
Most likely the obesity that results from drinking all that soda cushioned your wrists and prevented damage.
Do you mean provincialism, Dutchman?

Having been 18 during the second summer of love in the 1980s, I get it. (Es are good, es are good, he's Ebeneezer Good)...
Yes, thanks.
I'm not dead yet.
"Assinine" -- did you mean "asinine"?
"Feces" -- did you mean "faeces"?
who thinks that just because a comment is posted that you disagree with, you have to bitch about it?
...who thinks that just someone is into technology, it isn't automatic to like LOTR, SW, etc?
