| CA Inc., one of the world's largest mainframe software vendors, is
seriously invested in the platform, and that's a good thing. Mainframe
revenues have been rising in recent fiscal quarters, in large part
thanks to IBM's release of the z9 Enterprise Class and z9 Business
Class over the past two years. We sat down with Vince Re, chief
software architect for CA, here are his list of the top 10 reasons why
the mainframe is growing in importance

Not to be too picky about your Latin, old rhetor, but it seems that you've
erred on this one from many years now. Not that I was anymore clued mind
you!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin_phrases_(P–Z)
pluralis majestatis
"plural of majesty" The first-person plural pronoun when used by an
important personage to refer to himself or herself; also known as the
"royal we".
As for the kingdoms on both side of the pound, I'm afraid the situation is
not totally as Yer Grandee might wish. I tried to warn Yer Highness that
aping Small Britain would lead Merkans to their ultimate demise.

'The UN’s first ever report on the state of childhood in the
industrialized West made unpleasant reading for many of the world’s
richest nations. But none found it quite so hard to swallow as the Brits,
who, old jokes about English cooking aside, discovered that they were
eating their own young.
According to the Unicef report, which measured 40 indicators of quality of
life – including the strength of relationships with friends and family,
educational achievements and personal aspirations, and exposure to
drinking, drug taking and other risky behaviour – British children have
the most miserable upbringing in the developed world. American children
come next, second from the bottom.'
Eeuoow, quite awful, really.. Who coulda thunk indeed?
Yours e'er,

Best eaten young, lightly roasted with a helping of apple sauce on the
side.

A quick search on the ewb thingie shows that "Plural majestatus est"
is in common usage (even in Czech) around the web. Admittedly, though,
all quotes of the Great Man 'isself.

By the by, Yer Mostest, I just hit upon this most interesting site:
http://www.baponline.org/historyp2.html
or the 'British-American Project for the Successor Generation' for short.
Particularly, the article
'http://www.baponline.org/friendsinhighplaces.html' where one can read
such a gems as:
'Here, BAP is portrayed as a Trojan horse for American foreign policy,
recruiting Britons of liberal or left-of-centre inclinations and political
talent and connections when they are young, indoctrinating them with
propaganda about the virtues of American capitalism and America's role in
the world, and then watching them approvingly as they steer British
politics in an ever more pro-Washington direction. According to this
analysis, the project's greatest success has been New Labour.'
since We know it's completely the other way around. As an exemple, goad
the Merkans to make war on Iraq (Downing Street memo) and then just leave
them there with the hot potato. Time tested and the fools always bite.
Where are now? 3508 Merkans dead vs 300 Limeys as of tonight. As for
costs, it's $433,391,307,539 billions for the US and (Official Secrets
Acts) for the Brits.
Or, 'Vander Weyer depicts BAP in altogether more relaxed terms. "It's both
a fantastic social opportunity and an amazing professional networking
opportunity." At the conferences, he says, "Everyone is on equal terms,
and you take the handbrake off ..." He grins. "There's quite big
late-night drinking. Requires a lot of stamina. Every year you can see the
astonishment of the church-going Americans. You see them jogging around
the hotel whenever you open your curtains in the morning."
Church-goin' joggin' Merkans eh? How quaint, really, isn't it, old belfry?
So, give us an holler when you get your membership card as Yer Grandee
shall surely have!
Yours truly,
Oprah Ktical

I'm not sure that's an effective way of measuring the average kid's
happiness.
What I find interesting is that the French seem to have lots of great
movies about their children - but those movies tend to enforce the
stereotype that they don't care for kids.
A century ago, the French government worrying about having enough
cannon fodder, created some propaganda to persuade people that their
duty was to rear children instead of sending them to the countryside.
Movies and books about British children tend to show them being picked
upon.
