The 'n' suffix indicates a possessive form. Which makes no sense so it must mean some other form. Which, I have no idea.
Nope, it's not the possessive form. Theoretically, the words in Finnish sentences can come in any order : the -n is an ending that marks the object of the phrase, ie, what is thrown.
"Heitän tuolin". Again, have a look at the suffixes. Lord only knows why, but now we threw out one T and added an N to the verb.
Well, the -n ending in this case is of course to mark the first person singular form of the verb. As for the mysterious disappearance of the second "t", well, it's basic Finnish consonant gradation. It wouldn't sound Finnish with the double "t" ! (Disclaimer : Finnish is my mother's mother tongue, but not my mother tongue, which is French:) )
Debian is Debian is Debian. To quote their website:
What is Debian ?
Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer.
It goes on after this, but for me, the definition is complete in the first sentence. After all, there is also a GNU/Hurd flavor to Debian. But the operating system is referred to well enough by the simple term "Debian".
For a lot of operations, you don't need the star. The secret is the antibiotic gel. The syringe is too slow to fill up and should only be used in extreme emergency situations. Apply some gel everytime you can, even if there are no wounds in sight. It'll make your patient recover 2-3 hp, which may sound ridiculous, but anything that slows down the hp's fatal descent is a good thing.
You call that a lithp ? Pleathe ! Call me when you thtart to thower yourthelf thilly with your own thaliva, at every thententhe ! THITH ith what I call lithping !
True, but there is just one counter-example : Lille is a city in northern France which is one hour away from Paris by TGV. A lot of people in Lille use the TGV everyday to go to work in Paris. And actually, if their workplace is close to the Gare du Nord (there are five railway stations in Paris, Gare du Nord is for the northbound lines), then they're pretty much winning on all levels (lower cost of living in Lille, bigger wages in Paris). Some people live just outside of Paris but have up to one hour and a half of commute, going from suburb to suburb via Paris.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this also forbid you from using Vista's DLLs with Wine (if that is even technically possible), if your version of Vista is Home Basic/Premium ?
I still wonder - if MS had supported POSIX / UNIX APIs in a protected mode subsystem, would Linux have really "happened"?
At the time of its birth, Linux was not Linus Torvalds' response to Microsoft. It was his response to Andrew Tannenbaum not releasing the source code for Minix. So, yes it still would have happened. How successful would it have been is a question left as an exercise for the reader's imagination:)
Life is like a box of choc'lates. You never know what'yer gonn' get.
And I'd further the metaphor by saying that the probability of you eating a poisoned chocolate is very, very low. Just try to look on the bright side and stop believing the whole world is a dangerous and mysterious place.
The French do not eat "healthy foods" by any measurable standards.
You bet ! Garlic butter snails, anyone ? Foie gras ? Crème brûlée ?:D
I think the US's problem is that we rush eating and food preparation, while they enjoy it and eat slow.
That's becoming less true over time. I don't remember the exact figures, but I think that nowadays in France the average lunch break lasts something like half the time that our grandparents used to take. And fewer and fewer people actually take the time to prepare food, because they don't have the skills or the patience, or both (we don't learn how to cook in our schools, and it's a shame IMO). I do agree that we must rush it significantly less than you, but we're definitely headed in the "fast feeding" direction as well.
Maybe our secret is that we tend to eat three meals a day, and just that. I know it's not a good example, but when we watch american TV shows, it looks like you guys snack all the time ! There are always scenes where we see one of the characters in a kitchen fixing himself a double-deck turkey sandwich at freakin' three in the afternoon, when it's too late for lunch and way too early for dinner. Or just before bedtime, which is the worst thing to do. That is definitely something we _don't_ do. Here, it's breakfast when we wake up, lunch at noon or 1, and dinner at 7 or 8.
And they don't go on yo-yo fad diets that make the problem worse.

That has to be the most cynical title ever given to a Slashdot article. What's next ?
Chinese Journalist Muffled by Government, Hurray!
American Civilian Tasered by Police, Yipee!
In czech and in croatian, pivo means beer too :)
ARRGH ! Negation overloard ! Can't... parse... title...
I mean, what are we talking about here ? I want to be on the good side of the flames y'know !

What about a DS emulator ? It would make perfect sense with the touchscreen interface !

Yeth, marthter ?
Or how about just plain "GIMP users". Oh, unless you want to troll about GIMP's name, right. Forget what I said.
You must be new here.
I got modded Redundant for the same joke (although I posted before you) but your wording is actually better than mine.
Mod parent up.
Intel pushes the PRAM a lot ?

Talk about overreacting.
If GMail is out and if googlemail is too long to type, how about... goomail ? :)

I think your parent was thinking about free _legal_ alternatives.
Done !

What you're describing seems to me like creating a _freaking_ _gaping_ _security_ hole in every database connected to a web server.
"The Underground History Of American Education" by John Taylor Gatto
If you're thinking about homeschooling your children, go read it. The entire book is there, online, for free. (just try not to slashdot it !)

Oh no, French women do that too, I can tell you ;)
