"Decease" usually implies that the subject didn't survive.

Tagalog and Bahasa Malaysia/Indonesia aren't "most languages". :)

That being said, I should have thought of the latter myself.

Name a language written with Latin characters (other than English) that does not use any special characters or diacritical marks whatsoever.

(Even English requires extensions to the Latin character set. which originally had no "U", "J", or "W". )

You keep making this assertion but you have yet to prove it.

Let's assume the customer thinks IMAX is awesome. Given that he's buying X because it was compared favourably with IMAX, this is reasonable. Let's say product X turns out to be crap. The customer's reaction is likely to be something like, "This is a piece of crap--the experience is in no way comparable to what IMAX does for films." This, too, is reasonable.

He is not going to decide of a sudden that IMAX has suddenly turned to crap, too, which is what you seem to think, even though this is not reasonable.

I'm sorry, where was there any attempt whatsoever made to pass off a different product as IMAX? Because I seem to have missed that part.

The reciprocal of x increases as x decreases.You want infinity, not zero, for x=0.

IOW, Slashdot now has its very own Golden Dawn operative. Isn't that special.

Um... In case you'd not noticed... That "in peace" part? Doesn't seem to be happening.

I think of all those monogrammed towels going to waste, and weep.

I guess you're thinking of this?

I tagged the current story as a dupe, but the tag was removed so I guess duplicates that don't occur within the same Mon-Fri period don't count as such.

I've been reading Slashdot since it was published on stone tablets, and... OK, it sucked then, too.

All languages are "made up".

Okay. Now I know. It's that stupid-looking video bar thing mid-page that I've been scrolling past by reflex for the last few days.

rsync is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
