No. Going on context, kit could be slang for electronic equipment, machinery, or just gear. Maybe you thought we read the whole article? HA! You should know we Americans only skim bullets. We don't follow jumps or turnlines, and we rarely if ever get passed the nut graf.

The simple act of browsing the web should never under any circumstances infect your computer. The web browser is simply a viewer. It should only have permission to save bookmarks, cookies, and maybe a few other things to disk. If your operating system allows the web browser to infect your computer or to modify itself without prompting you first, someone seriously dropped the ball when designing your OS. Relying on anti-virus protection or only visiting reputable web-sites is like piling sandbags in front of your house when you shouldn't have built in a flood-plane in the first place.
People paying 6-figure dollar amounts for a bottle of wine are not buying a quality beverage. They are buying an rare antique. The bottles themselves are filled with vinegar at best. Of course fraud is rampant. Rich people are buying otherwise worthless objects with a cute story behind them.
Quite frankly if your getting off on pictures/videos of sex that doesn't involve the consent of everyone involved you deserve to be locked away for a very long time.
oh ok, just so long as you foot the 5-figure annual cost to keep someone imprisoned, I'm cool with it. Do you want to make monthly payments of $1800 or pay $11 000 every 6 months? Or do you want to rethink your stance on thought crimes?
Not even the youngest generation. Napster took off about 11 years ago. Many kids just graduating college and entering the workforce probably never bought a CD during their teenage years.
most people on/. have no clue what this sentence means: Poincaré questioned whether there exists a method for determining whether a three-dimensional manifold is a spherical: is there a 3-manifold not homologous to the 3-sphere in which any loop can be gradually shrunk to a single point? The Poincaré conjecture is that there is no such 3-manifold, i.e. any boundless 3-manifold in which the condition holds is homeomorphic to the 3-sphere.
The/. eds could make this article 10x more relevant to most people by titling it 'Man wins million dollar mental masturbation prize' or by explaining the practical applications of this discovery. Instead the summary is a list of techno jargon that'd put Star Trek to shame with no mention of the $$ prize nor details of the winner. Who is this guy? Why did someone give him so much money for solving for x? Can I too win cash money for balls? If not, can I out source next year's winner to india and take a cut of the prize?
Classmates.com made sense when it came out in 95. It's been obsoleted by free alternatives such as facebook. I got the email from them and realized any classmates of mine were more likely to be on the free alternatives.
3. Correct. The spanish flu only killed 3% of the population in 1918-1920. That was only 50 million people. Society went on; although people starting calling their parlor rooms living rooms, since the former label was too depressing.
Whoa... tens years of watching jenny cam and waiting for her to do it. I'm not counting the couple sessions of foreplay before the server crashed under a wave of voyeurs. This is kinda like the wait for fallout 3. When the game finally came out, I was too old to enjoy it. My tastes had changed. Now when Jenny finally does the act, she'll be too old for me to enjoy her.
Contrary to what your mom told you, people on the internet care a lot about your opinions. Even more so when you don't even bother explaining them. CAPS are an excellent way to grab people's attention.
Just like the United States could refer to the USA or to United States of Mexico, America can refer to the USA or to the two continents. Which is to say, only an idiot would use the latter meaning.

How do they know it's drug smugglers? Looks like Mexico's bombing us.

how are you going to deal with fraud? Would you give me cash for a bag of dirt I scooped up around the corner outta sight?
