Euro-English: The German Mania!

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

This is what the Commission had to declare!

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as “Euro-English”.

In the first year, “s” will replace the soft “c”. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard “c” will be dropped in favour of “k”. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome “ph” will be replaced with “f”. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where! more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent “e” in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as
replasing “th” with “z” and “w” with “v”.

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary “o” kan be dropd from vords kontaining “ou” and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

Disable Error Reporting in XP!

Each time a certain program shuts down for some reason or something somewhere fails to work then, as if we are not troubled enough already, XP asks us to report the problem to Microsoft.

Here’s how you can disable this:

• Right Click on ”My Computer” and select ”Properties”.
• Click on the “Advanced” Tab and then on “Error Reporting” (just above the “Cancel” button).

This is what you should see now…

Do as is indicated…and viola!

Oh…and the most important part. Before you click on OK, you are supposed to say, “Thank You Mr. Bill Gates but we do not want to report any bugs unless you pay us for the Internet Bandwidth and our time that will go in it.”

The Kind of People that Irritate Me!

Here are some of the kind of people who really get on my nerve….

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time … I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the tv and change the channel manually.

3. When people say “Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too”. Damn right! What good is cake if you can’t eat it?

4. When people say “It’s always the last place you look”. Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you’ve found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!

5. When people say “life is short”. What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that’s longer?

6. When people say while watching a film “did you see that?”. No Loser, I paid Rs. 200 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.

God’s Own Country: Logging into Linux!

On 18th November 2002, H.E. The President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam had launched Akshaya, an initiative powerful enough to transform the lives of 65 lakh residents of the State of Kerala. Under this project, one person in every family in Kerala was to be familiarized with the basic use of computer and empowered to access innumerable services that Information and Communication Technology has to offer.

This pilot project did wonders for Kerala, which is one of the most developed states of the Indian Union with its unparalleled achievements in universal literacy.

Now, stepping into the next IT-phase, Kerala’s Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan has decided to declare to the world that his state is Marxist-led! The state has unveiled a three-year project to promote free software in all state-funded schools and colleges.

Free software guru Richard Stallman has already rushed to Kerala to make the state, a Microsoft free Zone!

Initially, 12,500 high schools of the state will dump Windows. Next, all Akshaya Centers may be targetted. It is thanks to the latter only that the state is witnessing the highest PC sales in the country.

“See we are not against Microsoft. We are only opposing their monopolistic tendencies”, the state education Minister M.A. Baby clarified without asking!

The battle against Microsoft is only getting started.
