It's a nice try from the kid, but
a) who wants to speed, will find a way
b) too anxious parents will ruin this nice idea by abusing it as a standard tracker (boy am I happy my parents never knew how and where I used to party)
c) and if the parents will not, the authorities will abuse this fine device
Great idea to invent a tracking system in a world full of observation. Is this guy somehow related to big brother (not the show, read "1984" to know what I'm talking about)?
I'm very impressed - it is seldom that somebody with another native language than hungarian learns even more than one word in that language. There is only few things I want to correct/give info about:
Zenebutik is seldom used, sometimes for CD store, somtimes for Disco.
The 1848/49 uprising was against the Austrian Empire. Austro-Hungaria was only established after the Austrian Emperor declared an Amnesty on those who took part in the uprising (about 1863). After that the hungarian people offered the Austrian Emperor to be crowned as hungarian king which resulted in Austro-Hungaria.
Vásárhely stands for "market place", but there is also a city called Vásárhely. And Vásárhelyi Boldizsár could be translated as Boldizsár (or Balthasar) of Vásárhely (or from Vásárhely).
Istvan and Steven? Think of the spanish Steven: Estevan (in spanish a written v is spoken as a b). I think he was called "Stefan" after being baptized in germany where he had his education and Istvan could have evolved from Stefan to Istevan to Istvan (st as beginning in a word was not used in the hungarian language that times).
oh...ok, i got your point.
But today it is very seldom used as hungaria, the old latin name, like many other nations - or have you ever used Germania instead of Germany?
Only???
You forgot the fact that Hungary was the first eastern block state to get rid of barbed wire borderlines, one of the first Nuclear Power plants (even if it was experimental) was in Budapest, the hungarians held Europe in constant fear in the 9th century a.d., medieval Hungarian borderlines went from tha Adriatic sea to the Black sea to the Baltic sea for about 20 years...there is much more, just read a good history book.
And they chose not: in WWI they were part of the Austrian-Hungarian Kingdom (you remeber, Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the throne was shot and that led to the war, which was what ALL of europe's nations WANTED that time) and in WWII both the hungarian Prime minister earl Teleki Pál and his son (both not fond of war and the Nazis) suddenly died after they were told either they go to war on nazi side or Hungary would be overrun (as part of Operation Attila, the Balkan offensive); the Prime Minister committed suicide (after being visited by some "diplomatic" nazi myrmidons) and his son, a very good pilot who always checked his plane by himself before taking off, had a crash (but it is said witnesses saw nazi Planes shortly after the crash). The succeeder as Prime Minister was for war(well chosen by the nazi regime) - he was pro-nazi.
The actresses are not even the best looking hungarian women...come to hungary to find out for yourself.
That depends on what kind of map you use. Some maps are created in a fashion that every countrys name is written as it is called/spelled in its native language, but they are seldom (its hard for my tongue to read some of the exotic names, too).
And in case you really want to know where it is:

whoa...my distrust in engineers is getting worse...
but they didn't even mention the "Tahoma Bridge", when frequency overlapping led to the collapse of a bridge.

I would rather try something like Edubuntu (the educational/school edition of Ubuntu) for upgrading the machines.
three reasons:
- its for free (thats a very good reason)
- its maybe the easiest-to-use Linux OS
- it runs on elder Hardware WinXP would never be able to run on, so you don't have to upgrade too much hardware (maybe you don't have to upgrade anything if you're lucky)
and don't worry about the change in the OS-environment; it's really simple to use Ubuntu...
I had a very hard trauma to solve; caused a car accident in which my mother died. It was very hard to get through, but I grew mentally and psychologically stronger. It's these phsychic impacts, which make us more and more able to live through a world full of hard tasks - if we don't learn to stand up again after a hard blow, we will break down after a light one!!!
Moving to the U.S.? I suppose you're getting tracked more easily in america than in Europe. We are just starting to use these techniques here, they're already perfecting observation...it's no use running away. Globalization has side effects, and this is one of the worst.
It's a shame for a company to use software which harms your rights of privacy just to check out if you're stealing software (yes, even music can be seen as software). It's even more shameful for this company to use a stolen piece of software to do this job...
The "gigantopithecus blackii" is a long known species, and scientist already proposed the fact pre-sapiens humanoid species did often have contact. I don't know why this old "news" is dug out again. some kind of "getting-people-to-the-cinema"-publicity for the new King Kong movie by Peter Jackson? by the way, the old one (from the seventies)was great...

Yeah, but only the original "Túró Rudi", the Danone-made copy isn't that good.

You see, thats the difference between us: i can read & talk your language and could survive in your country...could you survive in mine?

same as: If greenland attacks Alaska from under the sea, would cuba help?
At least Hungary was called after the people settling there, and not after some guy who cartographed the shore...
"whatever continent Hungaria is in" That may be seen as a proof of gigantic problems in north american education systems.

I thought this was known for years now...why else are you not to switch on your cell phone during flights? just for fun?
