    You call buying a $50 product that would run Windows much, much slower than native hardware a good solution?

    So, why don't they work somewhere else?

    And if they couldn't get a job somewhere else, wouldn't you say that $50/month is better than $0/month? I'm no economist, but common sense seems to show that the latter is what they'd be getting if they didn't have this sweatshop job.

    Va te faire foutre, putain! Je déteste être dérangé lorsque j'encule ta mère. Ah, mais attendez, je suis désolé d'être si impoli, monsieur. J'ai une question pour vous, M. Stallman. Pourquoi est-ce que votre mère, qui est une vraie allumeuse, a accroché un fils si laid? Oh, j'étais si impoli avant. Je suis désolé de vous tutoyer. Donc, allez vous faire foutre, M. Stallman. Au revoir (même si j'espére qu'il n'y aura pas de revoir). P.S. Vous êtes plus sale que moi même si je suis français!
    Please excuse my shitty French.

    It takes cajoling and persistence just to contact the French consulate and get a visa. 15 whole days is not enough for a top-echelon government official to even get to your e-mail. It really isn't.

    Well, modern speech is lost on most English teachers, who would have you speaking like the Bard if they could get away with it.

    1) We don't have the subjunctive in English except in a very few cases, and those are rapidly disappearing
    2) I see no way how the subjunctive could have made his sarcasm evident

    Only on Slashdot can you be assured of finding two non-Swedes with a command of Swedish.
    I didn't know very many non-Swedes worldwide studied the language, but I guess so.

    The argument has nothing to do with the history of computers. "Kilo-", "mega-", etc. are all metric/SI prefixes that have been in use long before computers were invented. Rather than creating their own prefixes or using the metric ones properly, early programmers redefined them. Now it's the hard drive manufacturers who are doing it properly.

    "I can look at a wrench, and tell it's a wrench"

    Obviously this idea existed before the popular movie but that's what everyone knows so that's what I'll use to explain it. How do you know you're not, for example, living in "the Matrix" and there is not in fact a wrench in your hand? And everything you experience is not actually real.

    Studying French is nothing like studying C++. They are completely different things that require completely different mental tasks to use and learn.

    Breaking down a spoken language into programming concepts like that is trying to put a 5-dimensional square beg into a round pinprick.

    I just finished my sophomore year of high school, and I calculate multiplication by skip-counting. It doesn't cause me any real trouble in math, but it is actually an annoyance. I wish I had learned the tables, but it's not so bad that I have the desire to learn them now.

    I don't understand why it matters if lots of people switch to Linux.

    No, this is not a flamebait or anything, but IMO Windows is the best OS for the desktop (not the best in other areas) but even if it wasn't, why does it matter?
