I think I've seen some videos of it online. It's always the female candidates that receive the vote, sometimes from as many as four male voters, simultaneously.
Alright, enough already with that useful information nonsense. I for one demand that you reveal your login name. I cannot stand the suspense you've created with those three asterisks!
GP is almost right. A-Level is lower, or lesser, than the first level of study at university. It is the culminating level for high school students. Unless other posters here expect high school graduates (at approx. age 18) to enter the university graduate market (without those 3-4 years of university learning), then none of them have grasped this.
3) What about all the things my newsreader does that Google Groups does not? Saving threads for reading off line, killfile, etc.
Don't really know if this would satisfy your requirement, but I've subscribed to Google Groups and through POP access I receive all the messages in my email client, for offline reading. And decent email clients should provide filtering matching killfile capabilities, I think. Can't recall using Usenet, so I may be wrong to think the two are comparable.
I can't remember where I saw it (sorry, no citation) but I think it may have been a member of Scotland Yard's unit for these kind of crimes (for the UK). They said that basically, the only paedophiles left using the Internet to actually share materials are the really, really stupid ones. The ones that can properly organise these rings, and are successful in their attempts to find and harm children without being caught, only use the anonymous, confidential postal service to share the materials.
I wonder how long before those packages are inspected.
... but I'd rather be stuck on 2Mbps than have to put up with their extremely shitty customer service again.
Broken promises for installation date, way way over what they estimated, with no communication about the delay. And when we wanted to cancel the service, we were put on hold for around 2 hours, at a pretty costly rate. Bully for you if your service gets installed without a hitch, I won't be taking that risk again.
Effective Java and Findbugs were the two things I was going to recommend. Findbugs, since it's an industry strength static analysis tool, often has its value for learning understated or overlooked.
Content deemed illegal by the U.K. includes videos of beheadings, messages that encourage racial or terrorist violence and chat forums revolving around hate crimes, according to information on Direct.co.uk.
The BBC is funded by public money, so they get the opportunity to do stuff without being pushed about by commercial interests - for this reason they are already expected to include programming that is for the benefit of society and the public.
Just so you know, public money isn't given solely to the BBC. Channel 4 and ITV will receive taxpayer's money for providing programming for the benefit of society as well. As far as I know, a lot of documentaries are given funding in this guise.
So it's not just the BBC that have a non-commercial responsibility to the public.

"A kernel is useless without the programs running on top of it. Are the programs running on top of it Linux? No." - Linus Torvalds
Linus owns the trademark, he ultimately decides on the changes, so yeah, I'd say he does speak for Linux (the kernel). If people are going to confuse what is and isn't Linux, then yeah, of course you're going to arrive in areas that Linus doesn't speak for. Ultimately he doesn't speak for Linux (when used as the term for the desktop), or it's usability, but I don't think he claims to.
If people have an incorrect idea of what Linux is (and I can't blame them, it's easier to say "I run Linux." than "I run Linux with an Ubuntu distribution and a KDE desktop") then it's not really his fault. It's kinda like saying "Does Bill Gates speak for desktop PC's anymore?", as much as Bill would probably like to, the responsibility isn't his.
If KDE runs on Windows, why would Windows users want to switch to Linux?
As stated elsewhere, it's not the entire KDE desktop, at the moment it's the apps that run on it.
Also, though you didn't say it, other have talked as though individual apps are being ported, but I don't think that's the case. What they're doing is to create layers between apps and the underlying OS. So that a developer wanting to create an app with part video in it, they can include it in a few lines of code, because the actual handling of display and audio is done in an intermediate layer. They've wrote these layers for other OS's, including Windows, so they take their existing KDE apps, with their newly written layers for Windows, and they work pretty much as before.
That was a pretty poor description, but I can't remember the actual terms or names for these, but if you want to find out more, check out the KDE 4.0 Release Event Keynote speech by Aaron Siego: http://dot.kde.org/1200812119/

Out of curiosity, is that Cubans living in Cuba, or, for example, expatriates living in Florida?
Please don't suggest this method for overweight nerds. The very thought of "moob-cradles" makes me shudder.
Also, no pay raise for any politician unless approved by 75% of the voting populace.
You seriously think any politician is in office for the paycheck?
Yup. But not the state paycheck, any and as many of the lobbyist paychecks as possible.

Crowds elected George W. Bush. Twice.
Did they though?
Oooooh. Yeah, think about that one, my friend.

YouTube comments, anyone?
Not sure if you're aware of this. Just some information relating to what you've said, and putting a label on it.
Dammit, we are tired of waiting for quick disappointment! We demand INSTANT disappointment!
I've been providing this to women for years!

That's what he said!
The United Kingdom consists of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
What's in the article is analogous to interchanging the terms North America and USA. It's incorrect.
I have to say that I have 100%, total, unabashed faith that my government is not creating an "Orwellian dystopia".
