RuSVS - Russian versus English: bourgeois spektrumistam have to learn Russian?

 Russian versus English

 (C) VTS'99


   I forgot to say about another
moment is-dos-Russian. In general, the problem of "Rus vs 
English". 

   So, firstly, Spectrum has the meaning
(As a mass platform) only in Russia and EX'USSR. So the current 
economic conditions. It should be noted that in other countries 
with similar conditions He did not survive. For some reason, 
this question should be asked this same country. But about this 
later. Perhaps a role here played by the Russian-Soviet 
mentality, as well as other circumstances. However, the fact 
remains. 

   So, in the process of developing the platform, was 
introduced into it a lot of our, and more precisely, the whole 
platform Spectrum + TR-DOS was created in EX'USSR,

and the Russian language is inseparable at the moment of it. 
And it is absolutely correctly, that the prog written in 
Russian. We've done a lot for the Spectrum,

if not, resurrected from the dead.
And why is it for the sake of those ten-other
bourgeoisie, which lazily sling ink demo
and bulling in the networks, we must muditsya
with English (yankee go home!).

   Actually, why English has become
standard in computer technology? (Why he became an 
international standard altogether different story, as we are

still not interested, let us consider specifically
taken the case (in some approximation) - in the computer 
field). Quite it is obvious that in the merit of the United 
States, namely Here lie the origins of computerization,

and this is where it was made very much
in this area.

   And now we take EX'USSR and Spectrum.
We, too, have invested a lot in this
platform, because we have the moral
the right to do so (and this is already done) Spectrum Russian 
language. 


   So comrades bourgeoisie will have to
learn Russian. Yes, otherwise just can not.
Okay, there are all sorts of sistemki / toys /
/ Demo use minimum vocabulary
reserve - then at least Russian, although English - eventually 
everything will be clear, yes and translate them easily. Major 
use problem - information software. Translate it becomes no one 
(except publishers themselves? -Scenergy?). Same

As Ah-translation on the fly is not possible
theoretically.


   Well, now we turn to another
side-to those suckers;)

   First of all, if they want to
they paid attention, you should understand that the idle talk 
in the i-net'e little need act-to raise the Spectrum at home.

Ie Need users, production and
support hard'a and soft'a. To begin with at least users. And 
users needed hardware and software. Software can nataschit

with i-net'a, and for the iron to work hard to establish 
channels of dealer purchases. So, a modern board KAY-1024 is

about 30 bucks, or almost 20 pounds -
- By the standards of ihnim prices simply ridiculous.
Of course, these channels themselves (such as mail)
will fly a lot of money, then you have in place
all gather together, to give guarantees, repair, etc. That is 
the is precisely the work they do - to create a market. I will 
not there are many crucified, still no one

will do nothing, they have PCs,
and this is sufficient, and the entire General Discussion on 
Spectrum - just like that type of nostalgia. Topics at least I 
will be glad, if I were wrong. And if someone 'out there' are 
interested, try to help. In the meantime, gentlemen, good, 
we'll ignore you. 


   And about the language. Actually, as someone the potential 
'bourgeois'? Certainly not the U.S. and England, and countries 
with more or less similar economies in Russia, and probably 
with a similar mentality. Ie mostly Slavic Warsaw Pact 
countries and others like them: Poles, Czechs, etc. But they 
have similarities in language. And socialist camp, certainly 
left his mark. I mean, they learn Russian, I do not think

such and a great problem.

   And who else could potentially be
Spectrum needed? South America, Africa,
Asia? Hardly. In any case, the initiative must come from there, 
but in no Court no.



   These are the pies.



   Well, the lesson of patriotic linguistics is over, it's time 
to go home;) 


ps: No, you do not think that I am
outspoken opponent of English. You just need to understand the 
situation. Russian on the Spectrum - it is quite an objective 
thing. And now so easy to say "People, as you know,

behind the hill there are dozens of the bourgeoisie, then
now write everything in English "- this is
just vibrations. Now it's
Their time to teach Our Russian.

pps: Yes, you can sometimes hear the opinion that, well, the 
Belarusians, Ukrainians and others nationality EX'USSR 
contributed significantly to the Spectrum ... etc. 

   Um, and in times of USSR, we were all one unified Soviet 
people, and said on a single Russian ...



   Although, I think a lot of it and understand it, and wanted 
to spit on all these boundaries and divisions. And rightly so.
