Maybe John Gilmore will provide a witty retort, but you surely must know that the number of Russian-literate people here is probably pretty low. Babelfish did nothing but convert this text into HTML entities.
My Russian is rudimentary, so I fell back on Google Translation which automatically recognized Russian then did a surprisingly good job on both the body and the legal disclaimer. A couple exceptions: o It got "command" correct in the singular (though I would have said "instruction". However, in the plural it translated it as "teams". o It omitted "is" (which is implicit in Russian) in one instance. However elsewhere it correctly supplied "are" Overall, it did better than I'd expect of a Russophone novice ESL student. I also relied on Google for my two word followup, but made a visual check for sanity. -- gil
