2 variations
Two variations of translation.
"That's the way we lose our slipping away youth - chasing incorporeal demons of the information through the wires." - by friend.
"Youth is slipping away, during we are driving demons of information through wires." - by me.
Said by Andris Jaunbergs - someone from Latvian University (LU).
Ilmars Cirulis (2007-09-01 00:41:00)
correction
"Youth is slipping away, during we are driving unbodily demons of information through wires."
Ilmars Cirulis (2007-09-01 00:42:20)
one by Bill Gates
"640k ought to be enough for anybody."
Ilmars Cirulis (2007-09-01 01:07:30)
one more...
"Stupidity causes cancer, fight IT!"
(Raivis Dejus, also Orvils)
Again from LU.
Ilmars Cirulis (2007-09-01 01:30:45)
...
There are few crazies that own world, other crazies are imprisoned. [Orvil]
Ilmars Cirulis (2007-09-01 01:32:22)
...
It's translation again. If you see any error, correct it. :)
Ilmars Cirulis (2007-09-01 01:34:37)
..variation..
There are few mads that own world, but other are imprisoned. [Orvils]
Ilmars Cirulis (2007-09-01 01:48:53)
Friend's try..
Some mads own world, but some other mads are imprisoned. [Orvils]
Sorry for so much variations..
Ilmars Cirulis (2007-09-01 02:01:24)

quotes

Don Groves (2007-09-02 00:08:08)
Another one about practice
Rodolfo wrote he saw this on t-shirt: "Practice, practice and practice, I will always beat you." In New York City, a tourist once asked someone how to get to Carnegie Hall (New York's most famous concert hall). The answer: "Practice, practice, practice!"
Thibault de Vassal (2007-09-07 02:44:00)
And the winner is...

It's not a quote of mine but I found it amusing so ... "The opponent is threatening... nothing. This is the most terrible threat, because it cannot be evaded"
