Is that a quote from the Belgian artist Magritte's painting "Ceci n'est pas une pipe?"

Or even better: my father (+65 and founder of a medium business) took his new MacBook to the office and showed it to the IT guy: "Hey , look how safe this thing is: and it even works with the printer without installing anything...".
Now 4 years later there is no sight of Windows...

Again, this is of course only applicable to this situation. Stick to Windows in your environment if it works of course!

By "this" i think you mean the US of A.
What about the 'sovereignty' of other countries? Our founding tribes would run amok if they knew their ancestors would bow for the pressure of the US.

I agree completely!

Although the ACE2 mod is still in beta (2) , it adds a lot of reality to the combat simulator:
- carrying items has an impact on your performance (e.g. you can have a rucksack filled with extra ammo, but it will weigh you down)
- night combat (IR-goggles, IR-strobe lights, flares, chemlights,...)
- defensive measures (sandbags, portable crewed weaponry, new AAA equipment...)
- offensive measures (better ranging-methods, HuntIR camera, Chemical warfare,..)

The closest experience i had , before Ace2, is Project Reality for BF2. (But i think PR is coming to ARMA2 too)

It was posted on Monday, not Tuesday

What the fuck is WRONG with you guys at Slashdot. I posted this on Tuesday and my submission get's turned down. Is it because i am not Anglosaxon? Whose **** do i need to suck?

You had me there! I almost fell for it.

As an IT Trainer for the E.C. you are actually very right! I recently gave a course in HTML5 in English, but also translated ad hoc into French the non technical matter (all terminology is a bit in English). Afterwards i got some angry comments from French-speaking trainees (France, Belgium, but not the Luxemburg-guy) that i did not translate HTML-terminology ranging from "tables" to "Document Object Model" into French. The friggin' thing is in friggin' English for f's sake! (I am a native dutch-speaking Belgian fluent in German, English and French. So don't give me that xenolinguafobic response...)

A Zune? Never heard of it. Oh it's that brown turd you can only buy in the US and Canada?

Of course VOC was Dutch, but they brought Dutch, Belgian and French colonists with them (as paying customers). It's not because I pay KLM to bring me to island X , that KLM is settling on island X...

British, Dutch AND Belgian participants please! It's not because Kim Clijsters speaks Dutch, she is Dutch. Also, The Netherlands celebrates 'their' foundation of New York. But apparently, New York was also founded by Belgians (Walloons) and French. Hoboken for example is also a community near Antwerp. It's so convenient to leave the others out...

Oh man, don't get me starting about SABAM. I compose my own music for websites (using garagaband!) and EVERY TIME i get a letter from them asking me what source/author i used so they can bill me. I really really really hate them.
