My fiancee speaks 6 languages fluently, like a native, and switches between them with an ease that impresses the shit out of me. They are Korean (she is Korean), Tagalog, Mandarin Chinese, English, Japanese and French. The first time she came to America, Immigration didn't want to let her in because her English was so good they didn't believe that she had never been here before.

So, yeah, there are lots of people that speak multiple languages. Just not, unfortunately, in America.

A quick "cont" in the EEPROM would zip that 16-way server back to life faster than anyone noticed it was frozen.

Cutting the strings.

I understand your evil plot now! By stuffing a 16 bit value into an 8 bit location, you're actually inserting the upper 8 bits into the next memory location. Everyone knows that the value 00000001 when put into address 8676 is the "brick my phone" value. By sneakily tricking the user into memory location 8675, you've bypassed the internal security.

My hat is off to you sir!

Speaking as someone who has done root DNS modifications, Sweden *doesn't do* the modifications. They submit a request, which is verified by two separate agencies, then forwarded on to VeriSign who makes the TLD change. Once the change is made, it is (supposedly) verified by at least 1 other person, and several scripts before being pushed live.

Fixed that for you.
