I picture a bevy of lawyers licking their chops for this one!
my grandmother, god rest her long deceased soul, couldnt even get on a escalator after her stroke. do we REALLY want a whole bunch of these people taking a 'spin' because they hung one foot on the ground-conveyor-belt?
High powered visual software powered by geosynchronous satellites--CHECK

hot air balloon technology from the 19th century, wait what?!
remember the guy on The Muppet Show who always was trying to blow things up? I bet if they tried to re-release that show today, they'd censor him out of it.
i introduced the basic elements of gunpowder and increased fuel power to my friends potato cannon back in the late 80s by using ground up activated filter carbon, WD40, and aerosol hairspray (when that was still around). Made the cannon much more potent, loud, and heated the outside of it up a lot. yes, late 80s, i AM that old
I'm gonna teeter between devils advocate and sound rationalist. We live in weird times my friend. There are people out there who arent just trying to see how high mentos shoot the cola. I speculate that even recreational fireworks will be much more legislated in the near term. Sadly, shows like mythbusters that entertain and amuse with fun examples of destructive forces are becoming ground for research material. I love watching them blow crap up in safe testing ground but someone somewhere is taking detailed notes of blast radii.
Wasn't Virgin's Richard Branson involved in some space tourism efforts in recent years and he had that multi-billion dollar shuttlecraft his customers could use to fly up and back?
Whether one chooses to acknowledge this fact or not, The spoken and written languages are equations. When misused, they create different results.
To say that using pronoun "your" is clear enough to substitute when conjunction "you're" is implied is exactly the same as saying
a^2 + b^2 = C^2 is no different than the same equation ending with c^3.
But wait! The 3 is next to the 2 so people should know what i mean!
Or better, nine when spelled in English has two of the same letters as "one" so you knew what I meant!
The use of language is a set of values which correlate with one another.
"I went to the store" does not equate "The store went to I".
If you choose to ignore those values then you deserve to be misunderstood, or worse, scammed.
For everyone who thinks "your stupid" is completely legitimate and expressed concretely, I'd like to write a contract to sell products or services to you.
being an IRRESPONSIBLE LAZY PARENT contributes to obesity by putting people in their cars with their kids driving to fast food restaurants to eat crap~!
Unliterate? I did not know Jesse Jackson said that. I need to compile a list of intellect-jabs that reverse on the attacker like that. Love em. This one ranks up there with those who type "your stupid"
for my problems then who's left?!?!
the kid cant drive himself to mcdonalds and the odds are the kid doesnt have his own money to load up on deep-fried-carcinogens.
kids dont know hard work today.. when I was their age, we had to watch archive footage of other people visiting other planets...in black and white...because we couldnt afford red planets back then..
when i was in 7th grade my parents wouldnt even let me go to the pool by myself.. these kids today...with their ipods, their myspaces, and their spelunking visits to mars.. No Seriously, good job.
see, while conclusively there is not evidence to say it will happen again, the pattern can be predicted if the pattern of using lax regulation standards and circumventing safety measures were mimicked (no waaay, no billion dollar companies do thaaattt!), then it most likely WILL happen again.
while larger companies specialize.
If you work for a 100-500 employee firm as the IT guy, you can expect to be doing everything from desktop to Visual Basic. If you work for a smaller company and receive fewer than 30 hours a week, I would seriously look into managed service agreement options like per-diem, retainer, and tiered service charges.
I've been at all positions on the bar graph.. I've worked for fortune 100s where firewall doesnt even think of touching WAN and you have more change-control than the pentagon, and i've done Managed Services for 2 employee auto shops at per-diem. You have to become sort of a valuable vendor to the smaller ones because the smaller the company the more they are likely to be looking to slash costs. I suggest keeping track of what they use you for most frequently and plan ahead to avoid pitfalls associated with planned obselescence and scalability... example---never implement a switch that goes into service with over 70% of the switchports already allocated, look for longer service and warranty agreements from third party vendors if this will save your client in the long run.
good luck.
I gotta wonder how many British internet/email users are kind of naive to the nature of the crime. I mean even my 58 year old mother has heard of two or three of the common phishing types. That sounds like a high number of victims to me. Maybe I'm misreading the author's intent.

so you are saying that the only error in "your stupid" is a missing apostrophe? you just proved my point for me.

the muslims extricated from the former Yugoslavia by Milosevic relocated to Scandinavian countries?
I think the poster who said "skylab" meant "skynet".

talk to our children. that's a little scary.
really enjoy video footage of other male monkeys committing dumb crimes, flipping their cars, and falling off of kegs.

Which heightens my suspicion of this UK thing.
