Reading the front page I was thinking "Well, there's the April Fool's story". Surprised me good when I found out it's a real system! It's pretty funny though - kudos to taco.
Honestly I'm not sure I can make out what the English input of that translation must've been:-)
Anyway, it's terse, yes, and perhaps not written in the way of a formal American business email, but I think the original email said all that's necessary: you have this, can I buy it from you?
If the recipient wants to verify this buyer, or he'll hear an offer, I'm sure the interested buyer will allow for more communication, which will hopefully dispel any vagueness.
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed." "OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!" His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands. Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"
God you are so right. I really want to like UPnP (it works pretty nicely on the 360 and PS3), but the fact that there is literally not a single un-horrible Windows player out there (at least that I have found) kinda kills it for me.
Where in the world do all these people get the idea that you can't charge for GPL'ed software? To continue the construction analogy: the people owning the building can charge renters as much as they want, as long as they give everybody who uses the building a blueprint of the building (including any changes the owners made) so they could build another one themselves, if they so wish.
It's just like Lincoln, but with opposite charge. When a Lincoln and an anti-Lincoln meet, they annihilate each other in a flash of abolitionism and emancipation, releasing constitutional amendments in the process.

It'd be a lot safer.
And using these new measurements, we can determine *exactly* how roundabout it is!
...like a boss.
Hey, 'fetusii' is wrong, it's just plain 'fetusiuses'! Learn English ;)

Honestly though: just about half of English works operates contrary to pretty much the rest of English. I mean, "ghoti"?

The difference being, of course, that the GPP wrote actual Dutch, while the PP merely slapped down some babelfish-slop.
Don't be too hard on him - his Grandpa was in fact a bird.

Why do you think that wasn't intentional?
Why isn't copyright enough? All software is automatically copyrighted, you know. Why would we need patents as well?
First of all we should get rid of software patents. They are ridiculous, like patents on math.
Just do a m/\$(\d+)/ first.

Are you.. Are you being serious? I just can't tell anymore... Is literacy is dead?
Good Lord! He's real, he exists! How could I not have known...
But horse meat is tasty >_>
There's no way somebody this involved is this ignorant on accident. In other words, I'm sure he's being stupid on purpose.

Why not just post the full link?
Doesn't emacs run vi by now?
I can't figure out what you're saying here. Is the Greater Lincoln Obedience Club that fatal? Were you perhaps aiming for 'death by canine'?

It seems strange to invoke Rule 34 on that...
