I think the thing is that he actually wanted to say on for the last two weeks. He gave two weeks -notice-. He didn't say "I'll just leave now and you can stop paying me in 2 weeks" he said "I'm working now but I'll leave in two weeks". They cut him off immediately, almost as if they didn't quite understand his notice or something...
US PATENT APPLICATION
This application describes:
Means of "fat beatz" by using "da groove machine" to "funk da houz".
Wutz needid:
- da lean mean groove machine
- hot bitches yo
- vinyl (fo' tha playah, not da bitches)
- mixar
Dat's it! Ya' got sum hot shit!
I bet this is just the hardware engineers at Logitech going:
- Hmm... Jake, we got two I/O pins free on our MCU.
- You don't say...
- Maybe we could hook something up to them?
- No? Why?
- Aw, come on! A pair of flashing LEDs.
- Ooooh, LEDs... *drool*
Some people are less fortunate than others. Honest Internet citizens who surf honest sites and have anti-virus and firewall software installed constantly call us here at the call center. I'm less innocent. I somehow manage to keep my equipment stable and clean. Must be a curse or something.
Ah... The "e" makes the difference in English. I didn't know that. So they -do- have silicon in common... I've already read up on the development of semiconductors, I have electronics as a hobby. It merely confused me that the two substances (apparently) were a homonym in English, but I was wrong on that one. When wil iu Inglish piip'l lörn thät ph'netiks is tha wei tuu gou?;)
Why can't Slashdot have an Edit button? Reposting as Plain Old Text:
I'm assuming the -s suffixes are pluralizations. Someone once told me that Pomme d'terre (Earth apple) is French for "potato". I've always strongly associated deep-frying ("fritere" in Norwegian) with French cooking.
German and Norwegian share a great number of words, idioms and grammatical constructs. A linguist once said that the easiest language for a Norwegian to learn is Low German. It's apparently not the same as regular German, but having the name, I'm guessing it's in the same ballpark. German is easy enough. A Norwegian can allegedly speak the language fluidly after only 6 months in Germany.
It kinda spoils the fun of linguistic nationalism each time you stumble across what seemed an ultra-Norwegian word and it turns out to be borrowed from German.

Question: I'm from Norway. We voted no to EU twice, but we're part of the EEA (European Economic Area) and various treaties that oblige us to implement most EU directives. Could I participate? I'm living in Sweden, an EU country, right now, but the question still stands...
All Norwegian banks I've had an account in seem to support Firefox just fine and have done so since Firefox came. I think they just keep their pages simple enough to not create any compatibility problems.
I am curious, which version of the book did you read? It appears that they released a movie edition which lacks 99% of the humor (and entertainment) of the originals. I certainly can see why reading that would leave a bad taste in your mouth, but I find it hard to beleive the same would be true of the original.
Go to a public library. They ought to have the full "triology" of books (there's actually like 5 or 6 books).
Norway's national broadcasting company, NRK, have been putting their nightly news online for years, plus a whole portfolio of in-house produced shows. I would hardly call this news.
I meant illegal copies. If there is a copy protected HAL in place, then it could work, as you say. It wouldn't be a true subset of a professional development kit, though, as it would have to be separately developed.
I guess Slashdot posts are sometimes unfair to newer readers. An article was probably posted here back when the DS was announced. Perhaps an archive search would've helped you out.

Right. *goes practicing his Scooby Doo monster singing*
At least do a Wiki lookup before you post. Saves you some embarassment.
The Swedish? Oh, come on, these are the same guys who look at a traffic signal and go "works" ... "dun' work" ... "works" ... "dun' work" ...
Here here, here here!

Stakkars mennesker. :/

Rephrasing the question to better adapt for uninformative trolls: What -is- the difference?
We call them Pommes Frittes in Norway, a french name... So, french fries aren't actually french? I need to read about this on the old Wiki...
In Norway the computer chip stuff is known as "silisium" and the breast implant stuff as "silikon"... but is there actually a difference?

It's a nice thought, but what happens when somebody starts using the kit to make mod-chip-free copies of licensed games?
