Here we go:
By capitalizing the words True and False they would appear to be proper nous, meaning they can be names of objects (think of coding a computer it doesn't care what you call things). Thus the paradox tells us the answer.

The first statement is "True" (thats the statements name according to the 2nd statement. The 2nd Statements name is "False" according to the 1st statement.

As to if either is true or false, I would have no idea :-)

At least that is this poor soldiers solution to the problem.
