    No, the court has decided to send the case back down for the *punishment* to be reconsidered, not the whole case.

    Yeah, but they're all insane anyway.

    I will cry the day, which Babelfish climbs down. It is the way with distance the more Dr.

    All phrase with Babelfish would have to be necessary time to make to work one some times before making a starter shaft of Slashdot. Perhaps the trolls it begins still to be amusing.

  6. Re:what about games? on Round Table On Approaches To Source Code · · Score: 1

    Actually, those two are prime examples of games I found dull to tears. I want to see another X-Wing Alliance or Homeworld...

  7. Re:what about games? on Round Table On Approaches To Source Code · · Score: 1

    What about console games? Just speaking anecdotally for myself, I haven't found a genuinely fun PC game made within the last year.

    Sadly, there is.

    At least we made out better than Holland did. Poor bastards. Theirs looks like a rejected Go-Bot design.

    Especially if we name the first Mars probe "Hoser 1".

    Hmm, and maybe hire some out-of-work Russian scientists to work on the hardware? Our flag is red, after all, comrades... ;)

    Mars is a good colour for a Canadian hockey team, too. But what would we call them?

    The Liberals? They sure ain't left-wing.

    But I appreciate the fact that you didn't call Ontarians "easterners". Us folks in the atlantic provinces really hate getting lumped in with those wackos in the middle. :)

    What's the click of death? I've heard the term used in this discussion, and I've never heard it before.

  16. Other Languages on Quebec language Police Fine English-Only Site · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know for certain if the language laws restrict just English, or all non-French languages? I've looked around on lots of websites, but I've just gotten a lot of conflicting answers.

    Uh-huh. And what if you can't speak french? Do non-French-speakers not have the right to make a living?

  18. Re:Not news in Canada... on Quebec language Police Fine English-Only Site · · Score: 2

    Perhaps this is a good time to mention to our worldwide neighbors that the Liberals and the Conservatives in Canada are political parties, and that "liberal" and "Liberal", and "conservative" and "Conservative" here can be entirely different things. The exact times that they are different things depends on who you talk to. :)

    Could you repeat that in english, please?

  20. Re:A cruise missle isn't a weapon of mass destruct on Scientology Critic Flees U.S. Over Usenet Posts, Pickets · · Score: 1

    I always thought the NBC style of warfare involved destruction of enemy morale by broadcasting horribly written sitcoms with worse acting.

  21. Re:That, and.. on Mundie Responds · · Score: 1

    It could be that MS is just scared of the US government turning away from MS products, and instead using open source products. The US gov't spends an awful lot of money on software licences, and MS wouldn't like to see that revenue drop off. My guess is that they weren't trying to get open source software made illegal, they were just trying to make sure that federal agencies don't start using open source products.

    D'oh, should have previewed.

    Politicians are all for control, but not for handing out huge sums of money like this. I wonder if it could be argued, in a civil suit on the part of the industry, that this would be too great a financial burden?

    Sadly, you're probably right. And the EU would never foot the bill, either. Politicians are all for I wonder if it could be argued, in a civil suit on the part of the industry, that this would be too great a financial burden?

    On the other hand, this could be the perfect job for out-of-work former east bloc security types. They've got all that experience in snooping on people and organizing databases, after all.

    I'll bet Exabyte and company would like the sudden demand for their products, too. Maybe I'm being too cynical.
