Reading that I thought that the human wise teeth correspond to the dogs carnassials (which are the dogs largest teeth). However, our wise teeth are molars, and the carnassials pre-molars...

But you're right, we don't need the teeth from our jaw base any more...

Interesting enough, when a dog shows his teeth, we are mostly impressed by the canines -- that is what we render as dangerous. However, when a dog bites using the canines, you get four holes -- painful enough, admitelly -- but if he bites using the carnassials then you can say good bye to the bitten muscle, a couple of tendons and if you're unlucky, to the bone, too. Luckily this seldom happens as it is not the nature of a dog to use the carnassials to attack.

The question was: do you have cyrillic keys only on your keyboard or not?

In French, spanish..., we have all the exact same letters the english have, plus a few additional. But the cyrillic alphabet has different characters, and some english letter won't be in it.

Can you type english with such a keyboard, or do you have a keyboard with western european characters?

Ok, I got it :) Here we have 2 alphabets on the keyboard! So every key has 2 letters: 1 english and 1 cyrilic. So eng - is black color letter in the left upper corner and cyrilic - red color letter in the right lower corner. I can switch a alphabet by pressing some special combination (Ctrl-Shift for ex. (or some what U want to set)). Some cyrilic not have a pair to eng (33(32) - 26), and for ex. where key with - '}]' we have a 'Ú' for ex. and such others.

Well, first of all : Valiant.
Surely, you must be really courageous and brave, Marina?! Why! :):D:D

Anyway, wisdom tooth...what's that? Is it those big teeth at the very side of our jaw? Or is it the front teeth we see so usually?! :eek:

Once, my cousin went to extract his tooth and the dentist was careless, and after the extraction, his mouth bleeded non-stop and he even cried!(although he's already 19 years old during that time)
It's too painful, you see.

But again, everything comes with a cure. An old lady has told me that if you pray, in the good name of Saint Xeon, your pain will be reduced. Maybe you gotta try it, Marina. This is just a tip for you, Marina. :cool:

Anyway, my grandma is pretty an expert at extracting teeth if it is shaky.
She just use her hand to pull out the tooth. :cool::D
June 6th, 2003, 08:54 AM
Marina Vaillant

I did not say, it was not painful at all!!!
But I would not pay on an extraction by Xeon's grandma. Sorry for her.

Anyway for those who have not been through this, be peaceful, it's almost painless ( a little after, when the "anhestésie" goes away) and it's quick. It tooks 25 minutes to remove the four!

Gabriel, suddenly Phantom seems less cute to me... weird.

His name is Shadow... however I wasn't talking about him, he never tried to bite. He doesn't become agressive even in the most stressful situations (e.g. when taking a blood sample at the vet).

I was talking about dogs in general and a common misunderstanding of their potential :)

Oh man!!! Dental pain is the worst kind of pain ever!!! Believe me, I have had five or so teeth pulled, and those were not so fun. After enduring excruciating pain for about twenty minutes, the dentist stopped working for a moment. I said, "It's done?" He said, "I've applied the pain killer." The rest of the procedure felt exactly the same.

Well, my teeth are perfect, I don't fear about my teeth. As you can see in the attachment, I always have had strong and perfect teeth since I was very very young. :D

I have never seen an asian keyboard though. I guess it must be very strange. I'd like to know how so many chinese are on this forum. Do they have chinese or english keyboards? Same for the russian people (dimm_coder, do you hear me?)

An asian keyboard has 50000 keys on it, especially the Chinese ones : one key for each character. :cool::cool::cool:

While we are on this whole 'my keyboard is better thang' I have a silly question...is MSDN localized? eg: german, french, sinaporize...I would tend to think so...it's just when I say look it up in MSDN and someone generally have some comment about 'my english not so good' (well join the club, my english not so good either)...that I'm not subjecting them to more of that nasty english thing.

I have English MSDN installed on my Win system and haven't problems with reading of it. Another thing is spoken language, about it I can say, it is not so good (even enough bad, now at least).

Some hundred posts ago we decided not to add new countries to the poll. Vote for "Others" if your country is not listed. If it makes you feel better Switzerland also isn't listed:D

Yep, for a change I am allowed to work at home. Has its good parts but also has its bad parts, like working during the weekend.

However, I always have an eye on CG, even during the weekends ;)

Yeh, I know. But my practice shows, that if current work is not so interesting (say sometimes only automait coding on some parts), it is better to do it at office. At my home computer I can do only interesting things which can fully posses my mind and do not give a chance digress from a task :)

Working from home can be distracting and confusing...especially if you show up at your real workplace in only boxers and socks...let that be a lesson to you :)

No I will not let this thread die. :)
I'd like to know why my number of post seems to be blocked to 666. Simon do you have anything to do with this???

Of course I did not notice this from this thread, for which I know the number of posts don't count. But maybe increases anyway.

I'll see if I have 667 here or not.

Also, since my number of post is on my personal information, maybe it is refreshed for all my post, like when we change our avatar... it changes everywhere.
