Like the Finnish "censorship system" — I'm using that term very loosely here. It's mostly DNS-based for god's sakes — started out as "ZOMG CP", then they progressed over to censoring people critical of it. The next step currently in planning is censoring "money laundering websites" (?) and online gambling sites.

Wonder when they'll progress to censoring politically suspicious material...

Yeah. And it's the Year of the Linux Desktop(tm) too, right?

Oh zing. I always count Central America as a part of N. America. I'll use the fact that it is geographically continuous as an excuse.

... carrots?

I have no idea what you're smoking to make you think this was on Tom's Hardware and 26 pages long. Seems that the people who moderated you are stealing from your stash, though. Might want to keep a closer eye on your drugs.

French doesn't really have any cases anymore, if I recall correctly. Subjunctive is a mood, present in both English and French.

Since English doesn't have much of a case system either (just remnants, mostly), people whose native language makes heavy use of cases are actually at a disadvantage. For example, my native language is Finnish which is pretty pathological with cases: it's got 15 noun cases, yonks of verb conjugations and so on, and the language is agglutinative so it doesn't really have prepositions (of, on, from etc.) All in all, I had a hell of a hard time learning English because you people have to use all these little words for things we do just by poking more stuff onto a word. "Not on my table either" comes out as "pöydällänikään." I have no idea which case that word is in, much less what all the other cruft added onto it is called. Just because I speak a language that's laden with cases doesn't mean I'm any better at the grammar than someone who learned English as their native language. I just know them, just like you know how to use deflective verbs and probably don't have a clue what they are called.

I don't know if you've heard, but there's this place called Earth. It's got lots of continents on it, like Africa, Eurasia, the Americas, and Australia. You might have noticed that I put "Americas" in plural as there's actually two of 'em there, North and South. Parts (not all of it) "North America" are covered by Google's Street View.

The more you know!

Actually that's why you never marry models. That way you don't have the pressure to switch to a newer model when the old one goes out of style.

Badum-tshh. Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all night.

So he reached forward with one hand, and used the other to steady himself while he was doing the prostrate exam? Since both arms are occupied that must mean that he was doing the prostate exam with... waaaitaminute.

Because you can't screw up an implementation of an algorithm when you're using functional languages? Man, I must be doing something wrong, then.

So it's as easy as asking god if he promised the guy the apartment or not? Then if god goes "no fucking way, he's a total liar man" you'll know he was being deceitful. That's ingenious, I tell you! This'll revolutionize the whole legal system: we can just ask god if the accused party is guilty or not.

What? Are you serious? When did this happen?
