The "Pr()ces51ng Envir()nm3nt"
Wow, glad that had been narrowed to just the '55' bit of proce55ing by the time I found it  (It would have been enough to scare me off, for sure). For those who need it, maybe you should add 1337 to the translation list? (It's good enough for google http://www.google.com/intl/xx-hacker/)

Ariel, this is a secret 
(By the way, this secret is so well-kept that I don't even remember the origin of the pseudonym)

well, zen enough for me v3ga (keeping things open, good for imagination etc...)
now... concerning koenie's historical discovery:
very cool indeed, all this gives a similar feeling as watching new-wave clips from the 80's!
and it sheds a totally new light on why ben (& casey?) wanted so much at some point to dis-associate processing from the 55 brand line

Really psycotronik!
Someone told me about this page, but I tought that it was a Joke. C'est comme si vous ajoutiez une dimension à mon Navigateur.
From P5) to megaBu(ke+, could someone tell me what is a MegaBucket?, so I could translate. At first, I tought it was SuperSmallCow.?
Le SuperMégaPichet? (You know, in French we add a little bit more...)

I think megabucket originates from KFC. If I recall correctly (and I probably don't, because I never had one, and I'm vegetarian so it scares the hell out of me) a KFC megabucket was 10 pieces of chicken, 4 portions of fries and a bottle of pepsi. It was a family thing.
People also use (mega)bucket to refer to a large batch of items, often on special offer. e.g. this joke page refers to a bucket-o-ipods http://www.crazyapplerumors.com/2003_05_18_archive.htm#200312013 (It's bucket-o-xxx as in "bucket of").
So if you're translating, you need a French equivalent to describe something which is abundant, cheap, large, and desirable I guess
How does bucket translate to cow, by the way?

Bucket, in Québec, is something that farmers puts on their girdles to have a fresh Country look (like Eagles in flames or Screaming).
We also say Garçon (a Boy), and Garçonet (small boy) or
(girl) Fille-Fillette.
Then, a Buck (une vache), Bucket (petiteVache/SmallBuck).
Directly Translated, it doesn't make sense (mégaSceau). It would be something like "MégaPaquet".
MégaBucket?
