Yup, the response to "Thank you" is "Ne za chto", which is loosely equivalent to "Not at all." What are you trying to say w/ the first sentence? For me, it reads as "from not knowing, these others make small things." ?

Ah, haha, it's trying to translate "make jokes" literally, but in Russian, you always "joke" and never "make jokes", so that's why it looks funny. you could say, i suppose, "tell jokes". So the translator isn't very smart there.

http://translation2.paralink.com/ <-- this translator seems to do a better job. e.g. it translates "ignorance" properly (instead of translating it into "not knowing").

the translator you linked to only translated machine. the rest came back as "ohuitelnaja"

how about this- я пробую принести извинения за остальную часть этих идиотов и их небольших шуток о нем объявляющий на языке, который они не могли прочитать
