SuperKendall..... blatant shill, no sense of humour
now you are accusing others of doing what you are doing.... pot and fucking kettle...
yeah i am probably gonna burn some karma here.. but meh, you just keep digging yer own hole. the apple maps fiasco is the joke of the day, weeze of the week and other words i could have taken out of Holly from Red Drawf's mouth during the end of the "Queeg" episode
Apple maps are just utterly shit, and no amount of excuses or shill nonsense can cover it. A simple, fact is that Google maps are a far more superior and mature product. You don't have to be a shill to see that fact and no matter how much you try, you are only going to look an even bigger dick for trying to.
Any behavior can become an addictive behavior. Some people become physically addicted to exercise and the endorphin rush that comes from pushing their bodies to the edge. Some become addicted to tobacco and the stimulation that nicotine gives them. Some are addicted to food. To say that marijuana addiction doesn't exist is to discount that the human body and mind can become addicted to almost any stimulation. That's not to say that all individuals who consume marijuana will be addicted but some do. So don't fully discount the potential for addiction. Some portion of the population when exposed to the ongoing stimulation will become addicted to it.
It is impossible, and this is scientifically proven, to become physically addicted to marijuana. It's just not made of physically addictive stuff. There are no chemicals which give rise to physical dependency.
Now as to the question of psychological dependency, that's a different matter however when you compare a psychological addiction to the chemical dependencies such as the endorphin rush or nicotine you are just building yourself a badly constructed argument.
Also btw you will find that the actual mechanics(the movement of the hand to mouth to take a draw of a cigarette), the behavioural aspect of tobacco , is one of the habits hardest to break. Such as recent ex-smokers being out, beer in one hand and thinking it's weird not having a cigarette....
The British government are not the country, I doubt there are many people in the UK who would support this action and even fewer who are happy with the way the government sucks up to the US.
If THAT's the case, then CHANGE YOUR GOVERNMENT, for crying out loud !!
You guys in UK are still calling yourself a "democratic country", right?
You still have the right to change your government, right?
RIGHT ??
this one didn't exactly win the election
it's a coalition of the VERY right wing conservatives and the whores of UK politics.. the Liberal democrats who broke every election promise to jump into bed and form this coalition which is pretty much shitting on everyone
from the point of view of many reports over the last week or so this coalition is in trouble and many do not see it lasting till the next general election as quoted here in the Telegraph a right wing rag.
I am taking it you are an American, always the ones to shoht loudest about this sort of thing. Well 'buddy' a vote of no confidence would have to go through the House of Commons and it would need this coalition to break up first as with both those parties they have a majority to vote on the govt side. Last time one worked was 1979 however i can't see labour putting one up to be honest as to be quite frank they fear that the fucking conservatives might just win an outright majority. Labour got HUMPED out of office last election however as i said no single party got a majority so the Lid Dems jumped into bed with the tories and this is what we have.
Just last week I read the UK has to "ask permission" before they can rollout rural broadband expansion. Even U.S. states do not need to do that. They just do it.
SORRY BUT THAT IS CRAP!
they didn't have to ask permission, they applied for funding from the EU to assist with the payment of the rollout to rural areas.
so please.... check the facts before opening your mouth and letting your belly rumble
BT offers paid hotspots, through BT WiFi (£5.99 for 90 minutes, £9.99 for 24 hours, £26.99 for five days), except for BT home customers and customers of mobile carriers which have sharing agreements with BT (O2 and Tesco Mobile). For anyone else, vouchers can be bought from kiosks at Olympic parks, BT told GigaOM.
The licence is compulsary for any device capable of receiving broadcast media. That includes Internet, TV and radio.
If you can honestly declare that you don't use anything with those capabilities, then you do not have to pay.
you only require a license IF you you view live broadcasts. not for iplayer or any other recorded online stuff that the BBC,ITV or channel 4 or anyone puts online on their sites.
i do NOT pay a TV license even though i have a very large TV here, then again it's NOT capable of receiving a digital signal and thus exempt and it's only connected to my desktop and not an antenna.
Also if the TV muppets ever come to your door they actually have no legal right of entry onto your premises. they only have an "implied right" of entry which you can remove by writing them a letter and handing it to the muppet that comes to your door or by posting it in.

There is an overwhelming amount of evidence that surface temperatures are rising. Scientist knows it, Military knows it, farmers and fishermen know it. I'm surprised people are still trying to disprove things that are in plain sight for everyone to see.
ok then, explain to me why the weather is so shite and cold here in Scotland?:P
it's 31st July.. it's 17c(62.6 F), in Edinburgh , the festivals are about to start and there are Americans,Japanese and a whole host of foreign types here wrapped up like arctic explorers and eating the hottest spiciest food available just to give the illusion of heat!!!...
mind you, the curry houses, kebab shops and Mexican restaurants are doing a roaring trade:P
Seems interesting but worth remembering this is on old product roadmap from August 2010 which broadly outlines:
2011 - TV App for Xbox 360
2012 - Pay TV App for Xbox 360
2013 - Xbox 720 & Kinect V2
2014 - Glasses (WiFi / Living Room)
2015 - Glasses (Mobile)
Seems like a useful product for gaming input, potentially 3D display in glasses & maybe augmented reality for say PvP in room rather then on-screen. The mobile glasses concept seems a bit ambitious but it was a 5-yr roadmap
I'd read this as a head-mounted display, mic & headphones etc.. interesting but not revolutionary... And may be completely out of date too ????
NOW I KNOW WHY JESUS WEPT! can no-one tell then difference between "then" and "than" any more??
I know I am going to sound like a grammar nazi but for goodness sake this is so simple and fundamental it beggars belief!
There's a very common style of dress here (Scotland) that will see you get some attention from the police: baseball cap, large zip-up tracksuit top, tracksuit trousers tucked into socks and trainers. Are the police paying attention to them because of how they dress? Yes, and rightly so. The cap is to hide the face from (usually high-mounted) cameras, top to sling over your arm to cover your hand while it steals goods/purses/phones, trousers in socks so you can simply drop the goods down your trousers, and trainers for running. So yes, in some cases the way you dress is absolutely a reason for suspicion. Sometimes, not always, granted, but sometimes, if something looks like a duck it might just be a duck.
aye and parody done about it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y5s2gfT4-o and Here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzTCUJhED0g
well maybe that how it works in America, this is not America, however we are talking about a bunch of places where people own their homes.. not rented from the same landlord.
The flats (apartments to you) if not occupied by their owners may be rented out and thus many different landlords.
As for condo union.. erm no....., i state again This is Scotland NOT America. there is a tenants Association maybe if that's what you mean however they are generally toothless wee groups of people
However it seems to you bud, this IS a matter, due to the law here, for the city council sound enforcement guys as it's precisely what they were set up to sort out.
As for the noisy people.. i did ask them.. repeatedly and then went down the official route with the sound enforcement people because that's how it's done here...... and point to note it was VERY loud and could be easily heard outside the premises.. why is it you presume it should be how it is there? HERE isn't THERE and we have out own rules and laws.. and in this case it's not a crap one.
Indeed, very specific, come to think of it, what other country, maybe except of China, could you think of intervening in case of loud discussions in the streets with your neighbour. Begging, drinking alcohol in the streets, making noise, driving for fun, lighting fireworks might sometimes be an annoyance, but making them punishable?
The UK seems to be some kind of heaven for a lower middleclass mindset, restricting everyone to only the most bland activities. They really must hate creativity there, which tends to go with a certain amount of chaos.
well try having to put up with a pair of noisy bastards that play UBER loud music at all hours of the day and night when you want to get your baby daughter to sleep.
that is anti-social behaviour here in Edinburgh and all i had to do after trying to reason with the morons was phone the Sound Enforcement Officers here at Edinburgh Council... they came out , checked the sound levels and then gave them a warning... of course the morons didn't heed the warning and kept going anyway.
then the sound enforcement officers issued them with a fine.... and even that didn't work to then they went in and used the full force of the legislation against them and confiscated all "amplified sound equipment" in the apartment they were in (directly above mine) and thus no more computers,hi-fi, tv.. etc anything with a speaker.. BOOM gone..... after that my little girl could actually get some sleep. she was barely even 6 months old at the time.....
Lots of people hate the Jews for their work in international banking. But they ended up in banking, a soiled business, because in the 1200s it was forbidden to christians and muslims by their religions.
If you're pissed about the 'dirty Jew bankers' blame your own stupid theologies for cutting you out of the action. Churches like to keep the flock poor; makes them obedient.
Correct.. Usury laws by the churches forbade it!..
I'll get hate for saying this but WTF,lets be honest, if you wanna go by sheer numbers Hitler hated Ruskies even more than Jews but if you look at the man's record pretty much anyone not Aryan that didn't think EXACTLY like him got put on his shit list. Lets see...Poles, Jews, Russian, Gypsy, gay, communists...did I leave anybody out?
Yup, as another poster said, the Walloons, also freemasons, fortune tellers,Slavs, the disabled and a whole shed load more, basically if you didn't fit into his "criteria" and to be frank even he and his croies didn't fit into his own bloody criteria.. BOOM, you were screwed

Why does the UK need EU permission to do local utility work?
they don't need permission they applied for EU money to help pay for the rollout
