i'm astonished at just how much my karma has vacillated over the past 48 hours: from good to excellent and back again, as moderators mod 1 post up and down. it's funny.

i've now had my first comment modded to 0: offtopic.

woo-hoo! i think i've finally experienced the full range of slashdot commenting...

OK, i've used babelfish from time to time in the past and it's always been serviceable. but my word...

i work in a small NYC-based office, largely staffed by koreans, who exchange e-mail w/ the parent office in seoul. not being fully conversant in korean, i thought i might be able to rely on the fish to see me through.

i mean, i can see that it's plainly one of the options, to translate from korean into english.

so i pop in the text of an e-mail, and wham! instant aphasic rambling. i mean, it's worse than useless. gah!

[starts to pull hair out in frustration, then reconsiders upon seeing reflection of hairline.]

gah!

well, this is interesting: for the first time since i've been posting here, i've had a comment moderated to +5.

this is new enough to me that it's neat. :>

of course, having said that, i'm sure someone will mod me down...
