The worth of a soldier's life never becomes less than anyone else's. What does decrease is the probability of him surviving, compared to other injured soldiers, personnel, civilians, etc. It's a simple (but not easy) calculation: how many medical resources do you have, versus how many injured people, and with how serious injuries?
Unfortunately, money and expertise doesn't grow on trees, yet.
Precisely. The thing is, while all human lives are equal (at least I think so), not all human brains are. Sure, do everything you can to save every life, but if the brains are especially important, you'll want to do Everything.
More than 6?? Are you sure, because that's a lot for such a small screen. And it's completely different from everything else I've heard, including my own experience in Finland (swapped with only one green subpixel bright).
The XP task manager includes a cool network usage graph, grouping task bar icons, nifty start menu.. what's not to like?
Non-jokingly, there are some UI and other minor kludges in W2K that are good to get rid of. Not that it doesn't work, but XP is simply slightly better designed. (after having disabled/removed all the cruft and annoyware, of course)
I see your poker face and I raise you an evil grin.

Actualy, you could use some codec better suited to speech, and compress it tightly. Let's say 20kbps, 4 secs per title at most, and 5000 songs. That would mean 50MB of speech file usage which is not very much, and that's a very pessimistic estimate. A common title would probably be more like 2-3 seconds to pronounce, and you could drop down to 16kbps, giving around 30MB per 5000 songs.
Actually, right now if it's fixed in CVS, then it's fixed. There is no official release yet, only daily builds that you drop onto the drive.

Rockbox has had this exact capability for quite a while already. Since 2004-03-14 I believe. You can generate speech files for every mp3/etc. file on your device, and it'll get played back when you scroll through lists and menus. Menu items have their own pre-synthesized files, and if there's no file available, it'll spell out the letters of the song.
On the contrary, the best commercial voice synths produce speech that is almost creepy in its realism. I'm thinking primarily of the male swedish voice from Acapela, it chokes on some things, especially 'h' at the start of words, but other times it produces perfect output.
But realize that in your example, English is exactly as difficult as French. You're just replacing one cluster 'et', with another, 'eh'. I simply say that it should be pronounced 'e' as in 'mess', no more no less, and that's a simpler way of spelling (and pronouncing letters).
Same with the English 'ee', which is wholly different from (short) 'e' or 'eh'. Why not use a more logical 'i' as in 'miss'?

Sure, but you have to be careful not to get it backwards. Then you'll have to get exploded apart and reconnected again.

Why the difference in search space?
They do that at a lot of unis, actually, if it's RoboCup you're talking about?

Thankfully Nintendo replaces all stuck pixels.

They're not exactly vapourware, ya know.. there's quite a lot of info about them already.

Hm, I wonder if if Microsoft would release a Blueray player addon for the Xbox360, or even a combined HD-DVD/BR drive?
The Wii is a considerably less expensive hobby than the PS3, but you still get the fun.
( -> anomaly)
Grammar is how you use the words. Spelling is more about how they look, and how easy they are to read and pronounce.
Right, it's a stretch, and calling the police is excessive, but that they get thrown out shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
For you English-ites out there, that would be (and I hate this type of spelling): Yoh-koh-soo-kah.

We're only dealing with writing and spelling now, not grammar. Besides, French is indeed more complex, but English isn't far behind.
