When someone using Jsf72672@aol.com (a throwaway address if ever there was one) starts posting about some wonderful product he "found", it's almost certainly a company representative astroturfing, or trolling for hits.
No offense intended if this "Jsf72672" is a real person's usual moniker, but it seems a bit suspicious. Caveat emptor.
Ah, the good word? Or should that be translated as the right word?
While we did sometimes watch French cartoons, even the Simpsons translated into French in class, I really don't remember him having had his catchphrase translated into something that... wussy.
At least they didn't make it "I surrender" or something...;)
No, no. In a recent season of the English language Simpsons, there's an episode in which Nelson actually says the above in response to a retort by Bart. It's completely out of character, sort of like when Homer says something hillariously smart (e.g. "Young lady, in this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!")
Thing failed in less than a year, taking all of my music with it; 5 years of dorky industrial music, recently copied over from a huge stack of ZIP disks. 100 songs.
So in essence you're saying that Maxtor hard drives are bad for maintaining data integrity, but excellent for protecting data quality!;)
... so the actual thrust of your complaint has to deal with the fact that, in places that aren't the United States, WiFi is traditionally charged for?
Traditionally? That's preposterous. The last of the traditional WiFi clans were wiped out in the 1300s by the Black Plague, leaving the world without free wireless Internet access for nearly seven centuries. Truly those were dark times.:'-(
The practice of charging for WiFi access dates back to the early 15th century, as Genoese and Venetian merchants took to the seas with wireless NICs and Access Points, handcrafted in northern Italy.
It has been speculated that Napoleon's European campaigns were in fact motivated by his deep and abiding anger at the poor WiFi reception he got in Parisian coffee shops, due to his diminutive height.
He took his armies all over Europe, looking for that one sweet hotspot where he could sit quietly and download porn.
The British picked up on this, and set up a giant Access Point to lure the would-be conqueror to Waterloo, a strategem invented by General Lu Meng during the Wu dynasty. The rest, as they say, is history.

Source Code Escrow

Worst comes to worst you can take the code and outsorce it to some indian company to do something with it.;)
Indian Company: Hello, source code. Back into escrow you go!
You have similar cheeziness factors, recurring themes (boy meets/loses girl and singing and dancing in one, "you killed my father..." and fighting in the other), and so on. It's good fun actually...
Hallo! My name is Sandeep Montoya! You killed my father... prepare to SING!
I specifically said "and some that aren't". C++ and Java suffer because they haven't appropriated enough from Lisp (such as dynamic typing!). I swore off C++ a year ago, and have been vastly happier since.:-)
Almost any influence COBOL and FORTRAN may have had on programming languages, and certainly any good influence they've had, has been as cautionary examples.;-)
Asshole. You're disparaging it simply by calling it LISP. It's lisp these days, doofus. Bet you think it's interpreted and only has one data type, too.
LISP was an actual implementation (i.e. LISP 1.5). "Lisp" is the Lisp family of programming languages. "A Lisp" refers to a single member of said family. CL is Common Lisp, which is several good Lisps mashed into one giant unholy hybrid. If a CL partisan refers to Common Lisp simply as "Lisp", smack him.

Google is developing their own OS. Anyone want to provide the odds?
If Google does this, Microsoft will feel threatened and attempt to build an OS of their very own!
If we don't format our code to 80 columns, then how will we maintain back-compatibility with IBM punch cards?!

Otherwise, they'd call it Egress...
"Based on" implies a fork... after all, X.org itself is "based on" XFree86 4.3.

With such alert and sensitive censors, Europe may never have to witness a single decapitation! ;-)

Technically it's the company's fault for having a keyboard and monitor attached to a server. :-)
