Duh....you ever think that they might have run them through Photoshop in order to convert them into another format and then resample so the image size could be reduced???
In Taiwan, a group of hackers has put together CLE (Chinese Language Extensions). It goes along with Redhat. The latest version is 0.8. They have English and Chinese pages at: http://cle.linux.org.tw Turbolinux came out a couple of months ago with both Traditional and Simplified Chinese distros. People in the States tend to ignore Turbolinux but folks, it ROCKS.
Read the thread....it started with the statement that DOS is no longer sold. It IS still sold in a number of flavors. As far as PC-DOS 2000 being Y2K compliant, well that's a hell of a lot more than can be said for MS-DOS, NT4, Win 95 and Win 98.
Duh. I saw MS-DOS along with it's upgrade being sold yesterday. PC-DOS (from IBM) is still being sold and a new version: PC-DOS 2000 is out....check: http://www.software.ibm.com/os/dos/
Apple filed against Microsoft in March, 1988....they asked for $5.5 billion in damages. US District Judge Vaughn Walker threw out the majority of Apple's claims in April, 1992. After 2 years of appeals, the case died. Apple had to pay more than $10 million in legal bills.
There's a company in the States that makes a NASTY softdrink called "American Cola". What's tricky about them is that the can is Coke red with Coke style script. It's not sold in the States, it's exported. In countries where people either don't speak English or don't use the Roman alphabet, people think "Ah, Coke!". They are able to compete with Coke at places like tourist attractions, bus and train stations. This swill tastes so bad NO ONE would want to have a second one. But you see, this is an AMERICAN company. Not Korean, not Chinese,not Mongolian....American. And they've been exporting this crap for at least 10 years.
I wonder why the US government and Coke ignore it?
BTW, in case you're wondering how they can export soft drinks from the States and still compete locally, it's because in many counries, sugar is a government monopoly and it's (high) price controlled by the government.
The problem as I see it is that Orwell's estate is based in the UK whereas Einstein's is in the US (Princeton U.?). Foreigners in copyright cases generally have a much harder time in US Federal Court...for example take a look at J.R.R. Tolkien's legal battles with US publisher (pirate) Ace Books. Ballantine Books (US) had to take them to court and it still years for the case to be resolved. And Tolkien still got screwed.
You're refering of course to the quality of the American-made Apple "NapalmBook"? FYI, Apple Powerbooks are now made by Quanta....in Taiwan. I guess Apple learned something. BTW, I AM an American...I just get pissed off watching Americans getting ripped off by US companies, both in price AND quality.
Because they'll probably have to sue in every country in the world. At the Computex show (here in Taipei), I only saw ONE case company NOT making iMac clones. BTW, my wife works at that company and I think their newest cases are pretty snazzy....look kinda like the old BeBox!)

(in some countries, they actually want to kill them pretty badly, last time i checked nobosy felt that strongly about the french)."
Most of the world is a shithole that needs to be nuked into radioactive green glass and then wiped off with Windex.

I'll just stick with Redhat and work on an Amiga theme. On second thought, maybe I'll just continue with Windowmaker.

And don't forget DR. DOS.
I'm shocked....simply shocked.
Where would you find a can of pickled herring guts? I mean, it's not like you can just run over to the 7/11.

Dead people can't...true, but their families/estates DO.
I just hope to god we don't see Princess Di selling iMacs come Xmas.
Just wondering....did Apple get permission from the estate of George Orwell for the 1984 Superbowl "Big Brother is Watching You" ad?
Ah, but I HAVE, grasshopper. But we're talking LOOK and FEEL, right?

Impaired? Next time let's translate it into Chinese. There are languages other than French and English and certainly more important than the former.
Oh, well, except for China. (I like your inclusion of Australia as part of Asia.)
But Indonesian is the easiest both in spelling and in grammar.
Only sluts would take Luckies.....
You mean British BullShit?
The French are just like their cute little poodles....noisy and annoying as hell but not very important in the scheme of things.

After all 55 years ago, our grandfathers were screwing their grandmothers for Hershey bars and packs of Camels.
