Actually, in apart from the UK diesel is cheaper than petrol. In the UK the fuel duty is the same for both. Basically we're getting fucked by the oil companies (it's a regular sight to see plenty of laden tankers swinging on their anchors in Lyme Bay waiting for prices to rise.
Working off the back of the motor trade, we look at it that unless you're on the road day in day out, it's just not worth having a diesel as the initial cost plus the extra fuel cost makes it difficult to recoup your money.
We know that, but the USPTO accepted the Viking patent for piracy - in fact the Vikings did very little piracy, most of their earning came from royalties.
I can't speak for people who hate RIM, but after being handed a Blackberry by a colleague and being asked to set it up I decided there was a reason why their market cap has halved in the last 6 months - the thing was a bitch to use.
Want to copy contact across - Orange suggest copying all contacts onto SIM (confirmed SIM supports multiple numbers per contact). When imported from SIM onto Blackberry it only copied the first number for each contact. I then plugged the SIM into my phone, and confirmed that all the contacts details had been copied onto the SIM correctly. Compare this to a HTC Desire - It asks you what the old phone is, if it has bluetooth it provides instructions on how to activate it - then it sucks all the contacts, calendar entries & text messages off the old phone, job was done in 2 minutes.
And where the fuck is a proper IMAP4 client, not their shitty method of syncing though RIM's servers. If I read a message on my phone it should be marked as read on my computer.
My opinion about Nokia & RIM losing half their value in 6 months is that they fucking deserve it - they clearly can't make sensible phones anymore. Last time I had to copy data from one Nokia to another I needed to install two separate versions of Nokia desktop - WTF?
At the risk of invoking Godwin, seeing as the NSDAP wanted to obliterate not just Judaism, but pretty much every religion, including Christianity, you can add them to AC's list.
Speaking as an atheist, it's a complete fallacy that atheism is peaceful and understanding. As with believers, you'll always find some fanatics* - granted you're less likely to find an atheist willing to blow themselves up to make a point - but don't say never. As this case shows, atheists can take their lack of belief pretty seriously.
*While not of the gun toting variety, I'd include Richard Dawkins in the fanatical column - just as I've got a right no to be preached at, people of faith have a right not to be told they're fucking idiots for believing in an afterlife. I finished the God Delusion, but it took some will power not bin it afterwards.
I was going to quote Verity Stob's Variables Won't Constants Aren't, but while it compiled using g77 it didn't work as planned. Probably a good thing too. It does work with gcc though.

Two years ago our friend Kolya Bazy died, but not from radiation - his heart simply gave out. That seems to be the most popular way to die here
It's was an excellent program, parts are pretty bloody depressing but I'd recommend watching it. If you're like me - from the UK - just make sure you watch the one narrated by Philip Tibenham. He provides a sombre air to it, rather than the American version which in my opinion felt a bit sensationalist.
Personally I think he should be suing his solicitors for not acting in his best interest. The details of almost every "super" injunction have been released, thanks mainly to parliamentary privilege. Once the injunction was made a lot of people wanted to know who it was, so when his name does get released there was massive coverage. They would have known this, but advising your client to put his hand in the air and say mea culpa means you can't charge quite so much.
Quite frankly I couldn't give a damn about who it was and who he slept with, but some people do. The only reason I can see why is that people like Ryan Giggs actively sell themselves to the public - effectively training people to want to know everything about him - and he derives a handsome income from it. He also appears to sell himself as a family man, so having it made public that he had an affair may affect his earnings. Clearly he couldn't make a choice between keeping his dick in his pants and keeping his name clean.
I don't like these injunction has they can be abused - as seen by Trafigura case.
Of course, you could have read my post properly. Also it would be quite difficult to eject graphite from the core of a BWR, due to the distinct lack of it.
Your reaction is why I put my disclaimer, unlike you I'm not a rabid supporter. People like you do more damage to the perception of the nuclear industry more than any anti-nuclear campaigner can.
There is and was NO THREAT to anyone's health at Fukushima.
Official (and verified) reading quote over 1000mSv/hr, several hours exposed to that would certainly be a threat to somebody's heath.
Oh, you're an AC, <sigh>, what a waste of electrons.
Can anyone provide a source for this, I'm not denying this is the case, I'm just interested to know how, seeing as about 25% of the graphite was ejected and something like 5% of the core burned in the open for 9 days.
On topic, I can't see it being the best site for a nuclear waste dump. From my limited knowledge, though my uncle is a geologist specialising in nuclear waste disposal I would have thought you need an incredibly stable area.
I'm massaging your ego here which may or may not be a good thing, but I would say you're certainly above average intelligence if you did that at 9. The sad truth is that doing something obvious doesn't appear to be an option anymore - you have no idea when you'll get screwed over by some lawyers hiding under a bridge.
You guys in the states have an insane patent system and we in the UK have to put up with insane privacy laws and lack of real free speech. Fortunately we're doing our best to destroy it [with the help of twitter]. Bloody hell, I never thought I'd say something like that. I can only wish you luck with your demons.
How the hell are you supposed to be able to send IPv6 traffic when your ISP can't be arsed to provide it. We pay BT £1,079 pcm for a leased line at work and they can't provide it. Whereas at home I use Andrews & Arnold who provide native IPv6. So far I've been mightily impressed by them.
Sure there's tunneling, but it means my IPv6 traffic ends up coming out of a PoP in Holland. Then there's the issue with routers - I'm currently using a 7 year old WRT54g with OpenWRT on it, though it's far more stable than any ISP router I've had.
We had 7 iPhone users in our office (out of 16 - it's a small company), and they all bitch regularly about various issues with their phones. So far 3 have migrated to Android phones and another one will when his contact is up. Although I'm a fan of Android phones I'll still recommend iPhones - like for my mum, as she's in a different country, and everyone around her has them.
I would say that it is Latin words and not the actual language that are used in those fields. Out of all the medical professionals (luckily I don't know any politicians), none of them can converse in or read Latin. They will however be able to tell you what something with a Latin name is, and they'll know the basic meanings of the words that are combined to form other words our phases.
I still have my log tables from my Irish Junior Cert as we weren't allowed to use electronic calculators in our exams until our leaving cert, and then we weren't allowed to use graphical calculators. Before any jokes are made, the reasoning is very sensible as you need to think about the scale of the answer before we had even started. I had an aerodynamics lecturer giving out to us that if he had his way, we'd be using slide rules for the same reason - he got fed up of being told that the drag coefficient was 30 instead of.03 because people had no idea what the answer should look like. I actually bought a slide rule just to see what they were like to use.
Nice, I never knew that. It neatly explains the 6 char gap between the alphabets too. Now I just need to find somebody to impress with my new found knowledge, and who knows what the hell I'm talking about.
It's also interesting to see Ofcom appear to want to get rid of "Unlimited"
The CAP is also investigating the use of the world 'unlimited' in broadband packages. Ofcom says, not unsurprisingly, it wants 'unlimited' to mean exactly that, and so "only be used when a service has no usage caps implemented through a fair usage policy".
Ah, but could you change you name to Jeremy Reginald Robert Tolkien, and put your new name on your book? Granted, you'd be pretty fucking pathetic to do so, but I can't see the legal issue.
Seeing as the article mentions Germany, I was wondering why the hell you were introducing him as The Spammer, it took a moment for me to realise what you really meant.
As an aside, is it unethical to DOS websites advertised by spammers? Not that I have the means, just interested.

Even if you weren't completely wrong about the nazis
Can you expand on that please - I've got not issue being told I'm completely wrong about something, but I like to be told why.

Quite true, if you watch Inside Chernobyl's Sarcophagus - BBC Horizon, one of the scientists from the "Complex Expedition" says the following:

Indeed, the UP TO is only there because they were forced.
Now Ofcom is saying that they can't pull some "up to" figure out of their arse (which is the only place I can imagine ISPs find these numbers):
Ofcom shows average broadband speeds half advertised rate
It's also interesting to see Ofcom appear to want to get rid of "Unlimited"
The CAP is also investigating the use of the world 'unlimited' in broadband packages. Ofcom says, not unsurprisingly, it wants 'unlimited' to mean exactly that, and so "only be used when a service has no usage caps implemented through a fair usage policy".
Except that he got the units wrong.

When Philip K Dick's estate tried pulling a similar move when Google announced the Nexus One I emailed them. Something along the lines of:
As a PKD fan, I'm quite disgusted by the actions of the estate, and for now on I will only purchase PKD books in charity shops such as Oxfam.
Seriously, the estate needs to be told by the fans that they're acting like complete fuckwits. Be polite though.
