With our demise so imminent, I decided to go spy over on the DPC web site, to see if they had any secret weapon or something. I didn't find that, but I thought you might get a kick (or a kick-start ;)) out of these DPC disaster-scenarios:

<<
[*]One indistinct team [some obscure team] out of France finds this week the [key].
[*]The bye bye who we TA welcome [retiren] one [heleboel] persons one cube unpleasant [ta]. [I think that's &quot;The people who left us for the DPC retire en masse to 'one cube unpleasant' (TA Cube)&quot;]
[*]D.net stops yonder this week with because they yet who [koeiengeweld] not more be a match.
[*][Slashdot] and Team [Anandtech] this week merge[/list]

Up to now is not ever one with my disaster-opinion worked out, thus the will this turn too everything well-being exceed one's expectations. Thus yours may tonight everything tranquil sleep , because yonder is nothing the handshake (nothing seems to be in the works.)

Anybody got anything &quot;in the works&quot;? ;)

ok&eacute; i'll (try) to do a little translation of the most interesting part for you:

DPC greatest nightmares:

1. Een vaag teampje uit Frankrijk vindt deze week de key.

An unkown little team from france will find the key this week.

2. De dag dat wij TA inhalen retiren een heleboel mensen een blokjes naar ta.

On the day that we pass TA a lot of people will ritire blocks to TA.
(blokjes<>cube thats a translation error, has nothing to do with the cube from ta)

3. D.net stopt er deze week mee omdat ze al dat koeiengeweld niet meer aankunnen.

D.net will quit this week because the can't handle the &quot;cowsviolance&quot; anymore.
(cowsviolance: huge workload of rc5 blocks)

4. Slashdot en Team Anandtech gaan deze week fuseren

Slashdot and TA will merge this week.


pardon my french...

Seems my colleague-columnist at WDO (Www.Dutchpowercow.Org) is getting more famous by the day :). Now only hope that D.Net doest close the competition or let you and /. merger :).
Otherwise we'll have to file a lawsuit to TeamDot because of monopoly. And i bet Sir Judge Nugget wil fine the both of you :cool:

Sorry didn't mean to start a flame....

The worst nightmare for us is that all Dutch Cows get BSE (Mad Cow Disease) and that they'll be killed by the Government :)

It translated &quot;blokjes naar ta&quot; (blocks to ta) into &quot;cube unpleasant ta&quot;. &quot;naar&quot; means &quot;to&quot; but also &quot;unpleasant&quot;. It just picked the wrong meaning.
