it is

a strange validation system

thank you

Well, I added the third paragraph and it allowed me to send a question

what the hell does this mean?

iOS is a good example

notification systems are hard to get right

yet

it doesnt matter if you have girls

Young Artist: The Saga

the funny thing is if they dare to try, there could be girls with posters with Stephen's face

the latter as mr Mulligan

the most strange things about Ulysses are ideas to make a movie on it

@RegDwight look forward to. I'm waiting for having my leg broken or something to read Ulysses in one turn

@RegDwight I haven't heard about his translations of the "wake"

actually, translations of Ulysses seem worse to me. the ones I've seen is just a russian text with reference numbers above every other word, and all notes go into the very end of a book

@Robusto there is an english version on the left page, a russian translation with comments and variants on the right side. not so futile, I enjoyed a few first pages

en.wikisource.org/w/…

GNU license. that explains that

doesn't seem like fail to me

one of my friends have been translating "finnegans wake"

maybe "sail"

but I believe that being a native speaker allows you to see something well-hidden in the absurdity. I'm not sure though

maybe you're right

yeah

and I was deadly drunk

but it was pretty silly, i think

I actually tried to once, the last december

he used to draw a blue elephant on his cheek, climb on the closet and read his works. I regret not seeing this

he is not odessit though

I always wondered how is it to read Kharms without being native Russian speaker

I love Kharms

we like crazy people here. "crazy" as in "oddly funny"

I never assumed you did

но Одесса уже не та

I like them

do you need a hand from captain obvious?

in soviet russia, ze world takes over you

I'm just trying to conform

surprise ending - that's what she said

oh I'd like to have a unicorn

and all the internet starts to like you

I hate then you recommend something out-of-the-question to someone at SO, and he replies "thank you, but I asked how to do it my way". but they have a right to do so, of course

@RegDwight I think we should learn how to ask the question in the way it allows to contribute in the answer

@RegDwight yeah, it's really a problem, but not always

hand waiving is something I dislike the most :-)

I understand that extremely rigorous proofs aren't always possible in philology, but I enjoy reading books on the subject written by people who respect rigor

math uses very rigorous and definite proofs, and it's still interesting (at least for me). I think that humanities have to learn from maths

but truth is not so straightforward with philology
