I was thrilled when I tried T9, but actually I think I prefer not to use it : for small words (and perhaps more problematically while less frequently for long words) it is hard to guess how many times you will have to press the "next" button. So it requires more attention than simply typing automatically (especially without having to watch the screen while typing) : knowing that pressing three times this key will give this character is predictable.
My family's PC still runs on Win98SE, can you please elaborate about this problem or provide a webpage ? (I tried googling for it but could not find something relevant to what you said) I installed an antivirus and a spyware remover on the PC, as well as an old zone-alarm (and the ADSL modem internal firewall is enabled too) so I hope there is little risk but it is better to have all the information.
For even more fun I tried sending gcc output to stdout using "-o -" but it just created a file called -. Anyhow I am not sure how to "execute" stdin...
in base 108 (well, one hundred and eight), 64 + 44 = A8 (assuming you use 'A' for what comes after '9', such as in hexadecimal. I wonder what one would use after 'Z'). This gives 1088 in base ten.
Ok, but it is misleading. AFAIK all characters in the serial have an integer number. No "hello, I am number 8.246"... and we are on/., so C is the default language for most readers anyway
Take French for example: "Wii" sounds exactly like "Oui" ("Yes"), which is definitely a pretty starting point for an advertisement campaign
With two "i"s, I assume it means a long sound, and French "oui" is generally with a short one. Pronounced with a long "-i", it may even sound better (well, at least for a commercial purpose), like an enthousiast "OUIIII !".
Strangely, this is not the way Nintendo France is taking it : from their website : Comme on prononce "nous" en anglais ("as 'us', oops, I mean 'we' is pronounced in English")
I think we need more information about this family here : is Mr White Mrs White's husband ? Why is he only the father of three while his wife is mother of four ? Perhaps Mrs White had one child from someone else, for instance in a previous marriage ?
I am all confused about all this. Please give us details !
In order to have more (legitimate) comments. People who would leave a comment if they only had to press a button would find it annoying to have to copy a word.
This year the French government encouraged people to fill their tax returns (and also pay their income tax) on internet. People who did both would get a 20 EUR discount on the tax. This is not much, but it made a lot of taxpayers choose it.
A lot more than expected by people who managed the server, which was almost always saturated, and finally the delay for doing this was extended by one month.
It is not the first year it is possible fill the tax return online, but the first year I did it. As I understand it, in previous years you had to run a Windows program to generate a security form.
Now everything runs in java. Not everything is perfect because you have to save a new library inside the java bin directory, but at least I could do everything on my Linux PC with Firefox without having to switch to root (because I did a local install of java as a user and not as root).
Taking my personal example : I generally carry something like 50 EUR in cash, so when I have to pay within 0-25 EUR I will rather give cash, and if it is more expensive use my credit card. So, I do not pay more when I use my card, it's the other way around : I use my card when I have to pay more.

Grue is the French word for "crane" (both the bird and the construction device).
I never quite understood which of these two was supposed to eat you in the famous Zork quote.
Actually they are real human beings, look here
Anyway the program is mainly an artform to me, and the "send it to aliens" is just there as a cover.
The idea is funny, but that's it...
The best part was the letters to aliens from some average people, some were quite funny.
There is a French competitor of youtube as well, called DailyMotion (available in several languages)

Well, it's working.
I just decided that paying 317 US$ (250 EUR) for the Wii was really expensive.
So I changed my mind and rather buy this 190 US$ (150 EUR) DS lite.
French: here or here.

I think I am missing part of the joke. Why are you using a float ?
I believe I was often asked to reboot after updating iTunes. Which I found really annoying.
Who wouldn't get confused by this ?

For once, the French wikipedia seems more complete than the English one.
Three if you anticipate that Aquamarine will probably hit 500 votes soon.

Installing Windows is simpler:
0. Buy PC. Windows is already installed.

Mistakes ? Such as... typos, for instance ?
What experiment did they do to prove that ?
