byee!

past midnight and all

should head to bed as well

@Cerberus since 1st of april 2012 was the bestest 1st april evah

@Alenanno I'd love a retina display like google glasses but I don't think my eyesight is good enough for it

whatever happened to @cerberus on the 1st of april?

software, firmware, hardware and tech willing, one day we can run stuff in wetware

brain

not much need for running a turing machine in wetware at my current place of employ

I used to be able to describe a tree-structure in four different science field prespectives, ditto for grammars, but now I'd have to look it up

and some rather theoretical math

and AI

and NLP

professionally, I do what it says in my profile, babysit servers and code stuff

machine translation

actually, I was using linguistics classes as a sort of reward for doing cs, math and statistics classes =D turned out I could graduate as either ling or cs so did a comp ling thesis

stopped after the master's

I'm not professional either, I need to eat ;) but it is one of my main hobbies

you have to have the samples before you can draw the conclusions :)

comparing languages directly that way

i'm a big fan of radical construction grammar

yep

when you can't spot the language for all the framework jargon, you can't really reuse the examples

too much x-bar this and move-that and I'm out

examples describing the language, not examples supporting a theory

which reference grammars? any non-minimalist will do. I'm after the examples, not the "fit the square peg to the round hole"-analysis

<-- reference grammar zombie

I... NEEED... reference... grammars...

i'm also anooyed with them for the uni library not having the books I want :p

yup

don't feel like pushing it at my uni though since the linguistics department is being shut down

@Alenanno I've shared it several places

ppl have stopped asking questions and I can't think of anything to ask :)

I sometimes have to log in an extra time, to be able to chat

the chat login seems not to work quite 100% with the login for the other SE stuff

@Cerberus logged out?

has there been a round of spam-score-checking? I'm down 30 points all of a sudden

hello

they're lobbying to make the cartel law now :)

the kicker is, of course: the cartel is allowed to continue because it supposedly protects the Norwegian language and supports culture... and ppl read English instead because of prices and availability...

and if you want to read ebooks, you get to choose between English and Swedish (Sweden does not have a cartel)

so funnily enough, ppl that read a lot buy English books

bookstores are not allowed to set the prices themselves

and books cost about 300NOK new, even in paperback

@Alenanno Norw. big publishers are a cartel. They also own the printers, the bookstore chains, the press, the book clubs and a lot of other mass media

@DavidWallace woohoo!

(the publishers are being <censored> little <censored>)

can hardly get ebooks in Norwegian at all

is there an amazon for Bosnian? I wish there was one for scandinavian languages
