Not likely to happen ... it IS necessary in the language, it expresses something else than indicative ... sorry

Okay guys ... there are several misconceptions here ... 1. You can either use singular or plural ... literally, "beaucoup de ..." means "a lot of ..." ... so you can say ... "il y a beaucoup de personnes à la gare" (There are a lot of people at the train station) ... and here "personnes" is plural ... but you can say "il y a beaucoup de lait" (There is a lot of milk) ... but here "lait" is singular ... so basically, "beaucoup de ..." can be used either in the singular or plural forms, according to what you want to say ... 2. no ... de la remains as it is ... de le turns to du ... de les turns into des ... de un turns into d'un ... de une turns into d'une ... and finally ... de des turns into des ... VOILA 3. I don't care can be translated more politely than "je m'en fous" ... which corresponds more to "I don't give a f**k" You'd better say : ça m'est égal or je m'en fiche We use "je m'en fous" in France too ...... it is just rude. and here "fous" is not the plural for "crazy people" ... but it comes from the verb "foutre" ... 4. The sloth (the animal) is un paresseux paresse is the adjective for sloth. Now, the other question .... Subjonctive is used in everyday life ... but it is seen as a difficult tense by most of the French population. So basically, only the present of the subjonctive is used in French when actually the imperfect of subjonctive would be needed ... anyway ... at least it is a little correct. But do you know that you use subjonctive in English without even knowing it ? e.g: if I were rich, I would buy a nice car. I were is an old form of subjonctive in English ... it expresses a wish most of the time now ...

a bit more than 220 lbs ... I guess 225 or so ... that is 96-97 kgs ...

Well, you are absolutely right ... The 7 Wonders are those you quoted ... but they are only the 7 Wonders the Greeks knew ... not the 7 Wonders of the whole world

Does anyone know the Banaue Rice Terraces? It is said to be the 8th Wonder ... It IS beautiful ... Anyway, 7 Wonders ... of the Western World. Couldn't the Great Wall of China be counted as the greatest of all creations?

As for me, I think they are mutant Iraqi officers who exiled to Mars ... they are preparing a WMD attack on the US ... I guess in the next few days, Bush is going to send some interstellar spaceship carriers and set up a new Mars government with imported mutant Iraqis ...

Black_Op it seems you are just as possessive as me

any except the Feanor avatar It was designed for me ! my precious ! my own !

It is not an old film ... only 3 years old ... it was directed by Ang Lee, the guy who shot the Hulk ... with Michelle Yeoh, Chow Yun Fat, Yang Ziyi, etc ... great film I agree

You are a bit nosy ... you were not even supposed to try to get into it

Well, seen Cold Mountain (good movie if you are with your girlfriend or wife ), The Passion ... good film, The Missing isn't bad but rather predictable as Ph4ntom said ... rewatched Batman and Batman Returns ... still great films !

had to choose between Pyramids and the Pharos ... tough ... Even if the Pharos is a mythical building in Alexandria, I got for the Pyramids ...

I am 1.83m ... that is 6ft tall I think ...

Well, to be precise, apparently it is based on one Gospel, which is said to be the harshest ... but I will search over the week-end and tell you tomorrow or so.... Well, to me I think it must have been a lot more violent than it was ... People at the time were not bothering about Human Rights! but apart from that, it was a good film

Has a medieval FPS/RPG ever been done? Imagine a Medal of Honor only with swords, bows and arrows, crossbows, knives, spears, etc ... would be quite fun, but a hell of a mess!

this is not what I said ... let me recall : I know students already had to pay quite a lot in the UK, but Blair has just set up a new rule, so as to levy more money without rising up taxes for the masses, which would have been even worse for his "electorship" (is that English ? ) ... clever boy, but he is nearly as bad as Dame Thatcher ... :thumbdown:

Well, as for France, no matter what University you go to. The curricula are just the same. If you spend a year in Paris and the following year in Marseille, it does not matter ... We have standard diplomas. As for me, I took my first 2 years in Bordeaux and my last 2 years in Toulouse. My diploma (Master) is valid wherever I go in France, and even in Europe. As for payment, officially, education is free in France. Yet, many Universities here have you pay an entrance fee, mainly for administrative reasons, but it is nearly nothing ... around US$100 (€90). That is great for students who do no have much money. As for Great Britain, Tony Blair has introduced a new system, which will make students pay a lot just for their tuition fees. I do not think it favours access to education. Research and Higher Education is a national matter, not just a problem for 5% of the population. Graduates will be profitable to the country and thus should be helped by the whole country.

Happy Bday ... :drug:

Apparently, as what I have seen 0AD will be set in Europe ... but wouldn't it be possible to have a new RTS game or an addon set in another part of the world, and at a different period of time ... like in Asia? Anyway, it is a bit early to talk about that

I will! That must be my "teacher" instinct!

Oh my God, I can just figure out what it must have been like when troops were coming out ... with slaves and people on the side, watching the whole army marching!

ZeZar DarkAngelBGE rohirwine Oh my God, I am going to cry !

GRRRRR .... no! 10ft = 3.3m 15ft = 5m Your room is 3.3m x 5m = 16.5m²

People do not know that I am a total Psycho! :drug: Seriously, I think people do not know how nice and kind I am ...

No, it is just that when I travel from France to Asia or America and I purchase something with my credit card, my bank will just take the precise amount... there is no other fee ... So, if I buy something worth $20, I will pay precisely $20 ... but if I pay in cash, I have to get the dollars at my bank, and they charge me 5% of the total amount ... so, with the same example, if I buy something worth $20, I actually pay $21. It seems nothing as such ... but imagine when I have to pay $2,000 or so ... I can save up to $100! hope you understand me right
