Russian Computer Words - Russian Stamp (Leya)

As a bi-lingual girl,  I notice how computer lingo is developing in the international linguistic world.  With the Silicon Valley leading the front on tech lingo, other countries are following suit and adopting our verbiage.  The Russians. like many other people are too lazy, tired, busy drinking vodka to come up with their own words.  Or perhaps, they don't want to stand in line for 2 hours for a short word they probably didn't need anyway...so they steal American words.  Here's a new Cold Lingo War all over again.  Russian tech and business lingo is pretty much American lingo with a Russian accent.

1. English: Computer, Russian: Com-peu-trrrrr
2. English: Keyboard, Russian: Ki-borrrrrrrrrd
3. English: Starbucks, Russian: Starrrrrrrrbuck!  (Where did the "s" disappear to?  I don't know, maybe been swallowed by Vladamir in the tech writing department!)

The advantage for the bi-lingual folks is that English words are usually shorter and to the point.  So instead of pressing the "leaving this page to enter another world" key, they can just hit the "ESC" key. 

Although I'd really love if some elements of the Russian language were mixed into the computer.  For example, imagine the word, "NET!!" coming across your screen in big red letters when you make a mistake.  It would also be pretty awesome if your typos were corrected by a Russian mom's voice, "vat??  Dis is not spelling, I did not move to America for you to spell like this...Iz disvat they teach you in school??  PAZOR!!! (Eng: Shame on you!)"

That's great. Where can I get one of those Russian com-peu-trrrrs? Those Russians are so innovative. Do you think they have Vurd? Anyway, I can't wait to read more. It's like a breath of fresh air. Someone finally had the courage to write about the Russian campaign to pilfer English computer lingo. If I were you, I would stay away form Sushi joints from now on. Does Alexander Litvinenko ring a bell?

How to make my computer read RUSSIAN instead of stupid KOI8-R fonts. ?
Okay, i've been installing, sometimes russian software and the letters when you setup are not russian, they are something like a,e,i,o,u, with different things on top and more wierd letters.

I want information about the kind of websites most people spend their
time online. If its email, news, searching, watching media
content(youtube), social networking(myspace)....

If you could also break it down by popularity and percentage that
would be great. thanks.

this movement has been for a long time and I think it created a scene of fans and collectors, it is remarkable value that they have acquired some copies and the passion that this has generated through the years, excellent blog.!

If I am legally married, is my spouse partially responsible for my medical and mental care?
I am an amputee and just recently had my only leg reconstructed.....my husband refuses to divorce me, but will also not provide me with any funding for medicial care....is he legally obligated to do so?
