Or flash alternative firmware. I've been using it for years on my DNS-320. Looks like it's not developed anymore, though(?).

Re: Fourth gender

No mistakes up there (well, except "zeptá"), good job!

OK, what about "I will have grilled fish" = "dám si grilovanou rybu"? Ryba is feminine, animate.

As you most likely know, there are "model words" (or how's that in English) for each gender and er... "animateness". Each gender has two animate and two inanimate + masculine has two more specials ("předseda" and "soudce"). So you only have to learn declension of these 14 models and then determine which of them fits the word you're trying to say. Easy peasy! ;)

Have several of these, they help communication -->

Still relatively cheap here, despite the inflation.

Re: Fourth gender

Finnish is allegedly 100% regular, whereas Czech is a completely different beast. Or so have I heard.

Re: Fourth gender

All three (four??) genders may be animate or inanimate but I ain't no linguist.

I'm just getting more and more curious.

Fourth gender

Which one is the fourth Czech gender? I'm aware of only three.

Re: Palemoon, check. Seamonkey, check.

You forgot the IRC client, Chatzilla.

I'm using Seamonkey for mail and browsing every working day.

Re: monitoring software

A friend of mine while at work can't access websites of any organization representing a foreign state due to apparently every embassy contains "ass".

If you think Mozilla pushed a broken Firefox Android build, good news: It didn't. Bad news: It's working as intended

Re: Unfortunate ...

Try Bromite instead. It's Chromium fork with adblocker. I'm quite happy with that so far.

Re: Home delivery

That's what the craft breweries here in the Czech Republic do: they usually mashed together a quick-and-dirty e-shop or at least have a Goggle docs form you fill in. They either deliver by PPL or their own van; usually the delivery is free for orders above certain reasonable threshold.

Works great, I've tried beers from places I'd be hardly ever be able to. One brewery even announced they've run dry and have to make much more beer to satisfy the demand.

Re: Just as soon as you release a stable alternative...

What about Seamonkey? Its appearance is still very close to the Netscape Navigator of last millenium. Dunno how it fares for blind users, though.

I wonder if the websites are available for viewing from the outside of DPRK? I sure ain't no commie but would have a peek just for the kicks...

Does anyone here have the list?

Czech Republic to rebrand

Re: This is not rebranding

Morava (Moravia) is unfortunately part of the Czech Republic, along with Čechy (Bohemia) and part of Slezsko (Silesia).

I, for one, as Moravian, hate the new moniker.

Post-pub nosh neckfiller: Bryndzové halušky

Re: Alternate method of 'tossing' the potato mixture.

THIS is how you do it! You pour the rather thin dough on the sieve and push it through with a spoon into boiling water. They're done in about a minute.

That sieve is unfortunately a special single-purpose halušky-making one.

I've seen it

We got it to our "corporate" address. It was quite cleverly made as it was a ZIP file that contained forgotwhatitwas_pdf.exe and the .exe sported a nice Acrobat(?) pdf icon.

It didn't quite blend in here as we use Foxit Reader and it has a different icon.

Autocad attacks return after four years in wilderness

What about competition?

Does this vulnerability affect competing products too? We're now using AutoCAD (mostly the rusty but trusty v. 2000) but this might steer my boss' view to, say, BricsCAD.

Ale?

I think this research was conducted using Czech Pilsner-type lager, not ale, so the results may be different using that. May I suggest similar research in the UK?
