| 70962 | 2002-08-15 05:13:00 | Actually I think your translation makes more sense than the original... And to think a poster a while ago wanted a translator for word documents from japanese to english...imagine the output. "how are you going to do that?" "ogenki desu ka......" |

| 70966 | 2002-08-15 05:35:00 | Ouch! Thanks, man, robo. (self-confidence in tatters) |

| 70968 | 2002-08-15 05:41:00 | I thought we could manage gibberish without artificial aids. Just like parliament. (Hey -- I managed to make another posting relevant to the thread -- as if that mattered ...). |

| 70970 | 2002-08-15 05:50:00 | I've just reread "Dilbert's Future". It reads like the textbook for our famous "economic reforms". Unfortunately, Scott Adams intended it to be funny . (It is, but ... not when the ideas put into action). | Graham L (2) | ||
