French Police Ditch Windows for Ubuntu

January 31, 200817 yr

Neither in the US. They have a track record of doing stupid things and

making knee-jerk decisions. They are conceited and stupid people.

You are on the RIGHT track, buddy. This can be endorsed.

Their contribution petered out very quickly after Laplace and Lagrange.

When math stopped being intuitive that was all they could take. It was an

open field for Germans and Jews from that point.

Frank, you are definitely not lacking in the sense of humor but again, why

don't you top post?

All those knaves Ubuntu trolls should know where they belong. They belong

down there, at the bottom of the shaft.

In medieval England kings built those magnificent castles. Sure, at that

time there was no central heating and no electricity and they had no idea if

water conducts it or not but they did not care. The places were cold with a

lot of draft in the winter time.

When the King wanted to go to the bathroom he would proceed with his entire

entourage to that room. Imagine, kings lived on the very top and the

structures were tall, perhaps 100 feet or more. So, the king would go into

his "chamber" sit on a bench and concentrate. And a bunch of knaves would

rush downstairs to catch the precious bits and pieces.

That was also true for the queen and all the royal blood. So the knaves had

a lot of work and could never take a vacation.

This is how I fancy my top posing. You give them sh*it and they have to

swallow it. If they can digest it that would be to their benefit. It is like

offering them a used sandwich. But that is the story from a much later

century.

Who is this "politically correct" knave? My old friend bilingual! Could have

been expected.

I am sure you say much more spicy things about gringo when you are South of

Don't be a hypocrite. Nobody will buy it here.

That was the only "good deed." They haven't even helped. It was more of a

moral support based on their hate for the British. An enemy of my enemy is

my friend--that was their thinking.

How did they help? Ben Franklin spent years in Paris, big deal!

The revolutionary war would have succeeded without the French. The Brits did

not want the colonies anyway. It was just a perfunctory knee jerk. King

George so much hated in the colonies was actually sympathetic to the war of

independence but had neither power nor stable mind to intervene. He had

Acute Intermittent Porferia which is a blood disorder with psychiatric

consequences.

Do I bother you ss?

Am I a big problem for your little brain that resides in your swelled head?

Maybe you need to have your ass kicked or your nuts crushed?

Which do you think would be most appropriate? Or maybe you should just

shove your swelled head up your pompous ass? You could try putting both

feet into your big mouth at the same time...there seems to be plenty of

room for that.

Or you could accept the fact that you're really not all that bright and

just shut your fukkin mouth.

Listen, Syndrome, when I see a linguistic gen I just cannot pass it

unnoticed.

>***aspirational***

What did you mean by that in the context? Was it a putdown?

I am wondering what you actually meant unless you just open a spelling

dictionary and choose your words at random.

So, what did you want to say, idiot? I want to help you with a little bit of

psychoanalysis.

Did you mean "inspirational," or *conspirational," or perhaps

"constipational"? We don't know that. Also he began his word with an "a." It

does set a constraint on his typing.

With your complete bag of class, Synapse, you remain a mystery man, like a

character in a detective story.

They do not like Anglos, period.

They do have a soft heart for the Germans who have bitten the hell out of

them a few times in the past century. It is quite typical of some breeds of

dogs to love their abusers.

When you go to Quebec and try to speak English they pretend they never heard

the language. It is like Swahili for them.
