Windows has just launched its new Windows Vista OS so I hear. To copy or not to copy is the question to ask. Is this thing really worth the full Microsoft retail value or is it worth it to copy it? Copy it! Microsoft is just too big a corporation now with a too big a worlwide monopoly with its top CEOs making far too much profit without doing anything. Its time to take back the internet and disperse the wealth. The Chinese have the right idea to sell copies for just about 3USD a copy. I've heard so many negative comments about Vista that perhaps selling copies for $3 may just be more worthwhile.

[Le français suivi]
I recieved the new University of Alberta Faculty of Arts publication Work of Arts. At least this was the first edition that I recieved. One article that caught my attention was an article about a web-based grammar correction program for French called Le Patron. Reading the article quickly I noticed a familiar name, Professor of Applied Linguistics Terry Nadasdi. He was one of my former professors. I took a look at the site and typed a few sentences in French and sure enough it highlighted all the errors and offered suggestions. Le Patron is not a French language translation service or dictionary but a real tool for French language learners of all ages to help in recognizing common French language grammatical errors. Please see Le Patron and try it for yourself here: http://www.lepatron.caLePatron.ca
