The Swedish Touch

Who could resist interior design sounding like Oksekjoet, Gulost and Fiskeboller? Sometimes the Luddite succumbs to the allure of assemble-yourself Swedish furniture. The act of taking it home in flat awkward boxes and putting everything together gives him a sense of accomplishment. It's probably because although his daily work is gratifyingly creative, it's all about making things appear on screens: It never results in anything tangible in a three dimensional sense.

The assembly instructions are wordless, using images as the sole means of communicating the necessary how-to, bridging cultures and linguistic complexities with ease. He feels that should we ever encounter alien intelligence, Swedish Furniture's authors of chair bodgering instructions for two left thumbs will be uniquely qualified to initiate communications.

However, this weekend's assembly of a new computer cabinet had no less than 39 steps. They should supply raw logs and a handsaw, for simplicity's sake.

Regarding The State Of The Art Of Machine Translation

Mann hats hart ....

Mann steht unter dem staendigen Verdacht des Neanderthalerseins. Hunderte von Beweisen der Wertschaetzung und der Sensibilitaet gelten nichts im Lichte eines einzigen Missgriffs, egal ob echt oder auf Missverstaendnissen beruhend. Frau hat staendig ein Ohr auf dem Boden, auf das geringsten Zeichen der Geringschaetzung witternd, zum Sprung ansetzend. Frau sieht Respektsbezeugungen mit Misstrauen - Mann sagt ja im Zweifel doch nur was immer noetig ist um Frau zwischen die Felle zu bringen, wahr oder nicht.

Manchmal moechte Mann im Frust die fliehende Stirn gegen die Hoehlenwand haemmern und sich die Keule ueber den Schaedel ziehen.

Man hats hard….

Man stands under the constant suspicion of the Neanderthalerseins. Hundreds of proofs of the appreciation and sensitivity do not apply for anything in the light of only one mistake, all the same whether genuine or being based on misunderstandings. Woman has constantly an ear on the soil, on the smallest indication of depreciating witternd, for jump setting. Woman sees respect testifying with distrust - man says in the doubt nevertheless only which is always necessary around woman between the skins to bring, truely or not. Sometimes man would like to hammer in the grind the fleeing forehead against the cave wall and to pull himself the club over the head.
