It may be trivial to you. I'm an HS sophomore, and I can't figure it out at face value. Sure, I could take out a pencil, write it out, and figure out what the hell base 4 is.
or get an apex ad-1500, which is better, and has a firmware update which takes off regions. Also 99 at wal-mart. (That's where we bought em.) Though the 500ws are the same, and the guy at apexmodchip was nice enough to return my money.
The new product they're making is not a PDA. I have my sources........DAMN! I was gonna link to the segfault iToast, but it appears to be down.this should do it for now.

Why? I only learned cursive in fourth grade. I still haven't been taught to print. (Not that I need to, any idiot can print.)
I like cursive cause its faster and it looks better. Now caligraphy........ugh.
I honestly don't understand what the problem is. I've had all three: cable, DSL, modems.
My current connection is Pacbell DSL, in the Eastern Bay Area. I download 150KBps (that's kilobytes) pretty regularly. My max is usually 300 or so, from a big server. That's one linux ISO in 50 or so minutes. What the HELL is the problem with DSL?
I've only played FFVIII for the PC, which square itself ported. It's beautiful.
Ok, so Squall is a prick. But he learns a lot by the end. Oh, sure it's cliched: Don't want to get near anybody because it hurts too much and boohoo. And most characters (Zell comes to mind) seem kind of, well, Japanese exaggerations. But I think the Rinoa angle turns out really cool, it really captures their story. I dunno, I liked FFVIII a lot. Maybe cayse it was my first. (I bought, of course, FF7 for my PC afterwards, and Eidos screwed up pretty bad on the port.
Language is a protocol, the sooner we all speak the same language, the better and whether you like it or not, English is that language.
If you, oh Colin Smith, spoke natively another language (Romance Languages would do) you would realize how incredibly brutish the english language really is.
I wouldn't call that adopted.... more like sophisticated? In the 19th century and sometimes earlier, French was THE cultured language, in diplomacy, etc.
I kind of like it when English speakers use Latin phrases. That's when my (native) Portuguese comes in.
Firstly, it's decendent from Germanic, not a Romance Language. Therefore, it is relatively new, and quite brutish.
Secondly, Kids have always told me (I'm 15 yrs. old, Brasilian) that English is the hardest language in the world to learn. Well, perhaps to A Chinese speaker. I already know the alphabet: Portuguese, you may know, does use the same one. (heh.) Also, Portuguese~Latin which helps immensely in english. For some reason, Latin rooted words seem more sophisticated: I don't "answer", I "respond."
Anyhow, English does have some really dumb pronunciation problems: cloth and clothing, for one. Jeez! Is it "Cl-au-thing" or "Clothe"? How about cloth and clothes? Yuck.
English is not so hard to learn. How do I know? Cause I did, as a ten years old, in about 6 months. (Of course, I read a lot. Which puts my English far, far beyond that of my peers.) My parents learned. My father speaks perfectly. (Or nearly so.) My mom is very fluent, with minor word changes.
English does also have annoying tenses, like the Present Perfect: I Have Done, Have Sold, Have Bought, Have Flown, Have Swum. In Spanish, or Portuguese, there are what, 8 exceptions? Mostly cause the verbs can be categorized as -AR, -IR, -ER.
Besides, there are purely technical reasons why English is a "better" language than Chinese for computing - look at the numbers of characters in the alphabets, for example. English words are distinct, Chinese ideograms are much more dependent on context and the interpretation of the listener.
So you're saying that English is good because it uses the alphabet??? Huh. Interesting. So.....naaaah, too easy.
ok, my example: In Brasil, programmers say these words and either know or memorize what they mean. (Bad example; middle class and up Brasilians, who are the programmers, usually take some form of English)
But name your variables in another language, comment in another language, or just use Perl: it's not like English at all.

But I probably won't.
Go there, be enlightened. Good place to learn how to encode well with LAME, too.

One of them is modeled after a fourth century b.c. drachma from Athens. The NEW Drachma has been around since independence.
Come ON! It's all about potential; 10 years ago very few people had an inkling of the sheer potential of the internet. but NOW? That's just stupid.
Some thing all the inflation in Brazil did do that was good was:
Our banks, electronically speaking, kick most other bankses asses. Seriously.
The people are quite flexible; this comes from the bad old days of checking on a chart what milk would cost next week.
If I remember correctly, the GNP of California overpassed that of France.... Then again, California is the World's fourth economy.
Kinda funny, considering the Greeks were o.k. with the Drachma (a MUCH older coin) going away. Funny, those Brits.
Kind of surprised no one did a MiB=Men in Black joke. yeesh.

Brazil is like 88% catholic, 98% Christian.

FF8 for the PC is one of the very best games I've ever played. Period.

Back to the point: English is quite overrated.
