Ghost 0.3.0 - attempted german takeover!

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.

Perhaps it works better there. For us it sounds perfectly fine because it is exactly how we pronounce it whether it is "pizza" or "pitsa". The written form "pitsa" is somehow strange because there is too much "Finnish nuance" added to a loan word. It is extremely hard to explain but people, especially the younger generation, just prefer the original version. I just checked and there seems to have been a debate on our Wikipedia in 2006 and "pizza" won.

I'm still trying to work out how this thread started anyway...
When you start writing an OS you do the minimum possible to get the x86 processor in a usable state, then you try to get as far away from it as possible.

Syntax checkup:
Wrong: OS's, IRQ's, zero'ing
Right: OSes, IRQs, zeroing
