'Toto' in French is the equivalent of 'Foo' or 'Bar' in English - it's often used as a placeholder or temporary variable name.

That's nothing, I read of one planet in the seventh dimension that got used as a ball in a game of intergalactic bar billiards. Got potted straight into a black hole, killed ten billion people. Only scored thirty points too.
Where did you read that?

So what if there's a no-fly zone for months? People fly too much anyway.
Yeah, tell that to my friend stuck in Switzerland. I think she'd like to get back home to her children.

I mean really, who needs an expensive big SSD for your porn collection? Unless you have 12 monitors running porn simulcasting...

I'll give you bananas (we have only the 'regular' ones and the 'organic' variety, whatever that means). However, my grocery store probably has more than ten varieties of apples. I'm quite happy that most of them are labeled with a number that the scanning drone can input directly in the cash register. Quicker, less error prone, and probably easier than having to learn or look-up the code for all the different fruits (what the heck is a durian?) Etched bar code or numbers would be ever nicer.

...for similar reasons, I suggest we make atoms illegal. It is a widely known fact that atoms can be used to make weapons and bombs. I don't understand why the government isn't doing anything about this. Also, I read somewhere that rapists and murderers are made of atoms.
Journal Journal: XBox 360 Fix Will Cost $1.15 billion.
Microsoft has admitted that the XBox 360s' "Red Ring of Death" is a real problem, and has set aside more than a billion dollars for warranties on the troubled console.
In what is likely to be the largest warranty payout of all time, Microsoft will repair or replace all failed consoles, reimburse customers who have already paid for repairs and extend the warranty from one year to three.
Submission + - Windows Mobile 6 OS-Based T-Mobile Wing Reviewed (cooltechzone.com)
opeeeerah writes: "Gundeep Hora has taken a look at the first Windows Mobile 6 OS-based smartphone from T-Mobile, the Wing. He concludes, "With that said, Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6 is a disappointment. Working with a number of applications or "heavy" documents was painful. The delay was too much, especially in Word and PowerPoint files that it wasn't possible for us to work with the device without messing up somewhere and not realizing it in the end. This lag is present across a number of other scenarios as well.
All in all, the T-Mobile Wing is one of the first smartphones with Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6 OS onboard, and it's a decent smartphone. If nothing else, it's an interesting gadget for the young and hip crowd, though we wouldn't recommend it for productivity hounds that are looking to do reports and presentations on the Wing. Not to mention, the sexy and strange appeal of the device can't be pleasing to serious professionals. For $299.99 from T-Mobile, it's a worthy Sidekick replacement."
