people hitting your car with their door

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Seems like Alboin likes to point out things with a cryptic name and not to explain them in his first post. First, "segway" (1st http://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?p=125242#p125242 2nd http://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?p=125244#p125244 , [citation not needed, thank you very much]), then "sencha". It's time consuming to wiki/google something weird in japinees to understand it. Its something like I started writing in Slovak and you had to use a translator if you wanted to understand my words. ;)
And yep, I'm a (user) stalker. 8)

To the topic: Next time, I think you should try one of the 50lbs doors as a pay-back :) joking.

@inflater: I think most everyone is familiar with what a segway is. Also, sencha is a type of tea, not some random Japanese word. Going to wiki once in a while wouldn't hurt you. ;)

Do you count people living outside UK or US?

Ani ma nenapadne chodiť na Wikipédiu iba preto, aby som zistil význam tých slov. Myslíš že tým sa hráš na múdreho? ;)

You didn't go to Wikipedia because you knew what a segway was already.

Am I right? (Google translate is about as hard to read as slovak, even to a native english speaker)

Wrong,

"I wont even think of going to the Wiki only to understand that words. You think you play smart that way? ;)"

Last time I checked, there was only English->Czech, now they added Slovak. Cool, but they need to "improve" it a little (which is impossible). :D

Trouble with Google Translator is that a lot of languages are highly context-sensitive to the "letters" used. For instance, Eastern languages such as Japanese or Chinese variants (I've only ever began learning Mandarin and Cantonese - and not too well at that) have different meanings for "words" depending on the position of the characters.

In other words - never trust an online translator :P

That was at the local tea shop. I did *not* brew that myself, just wanted to try it.

Bad idea :(
If you are acustomed to strong-tasting beverages (coffee...), Sencha will taste like nothing much - like the smell of freshly cut grass, roughly, and very bitter if brewed too hot or too long.

But if you get a decent brand, and remember its green tea, not black (i.e., water not scalding hot, brewing for no more than 1.5 minutes), you will find its a taste you can get used to easily. Healthy, too, and doesn't require sweetening.

My first "Sencha" (what blasphemy...) was a cup of Gyokuro. Liquid velvet... [-o<
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.
