If the thing I've dropped is fragile and I can't catch it, I usually put my foot under it to soften the landing a bit. Once backfired and I kicked my phone to a wall... ^.^
Considering that there are more people living than have ever died
That just seems a bit unlikely to me. Link please?
I don't think there is a credible source for this, as the ratio is probably about 1/20 - 1/10 (or less?)... I do wonder at which point of the history the ratio was greatest?
(Discounting the arbitrary beginning where humanoids could for the first time be defined as humans)
I don't think I would claim that installing some security measures for the skylight is the greased man's responsibility. Some punishment for his actions would be in order, which should work as a deterrant, but if I want more physical security, it comes out of my own wallet...
So you are going to teach them that breasts are obscene. How else would they rationalize the need to prevent/stop other people from 'waving them in people's faces'.
I'm sorry, I've read stuff like "Since switching I've had fewer dropped calls" here a few times and I haven't really been able to deduce what those things are. Could someone (somehow the writes seem to be from USA?) define it for me, please? I can understand if an area has no reception, but I don't understand the word 'fewer' in the context. Do these things happen if you're in one location, or way outside of cities?
He is really offensive, isn't he... He is the only writer I can remember from Thereg, and that's only because after getting offended by some of the articles (or the beginning of them), I've had to check who had written the pos. It was always the same man...
However, I feel that saying he's part of the old guard elevates him a bit too much... I say he's a troll. Fairly nasty one, as there's no way to give public feedback on his articles, and he doesn't really play nice with the name calling. Either a troll or delusional. A certain lawyer comes to mind.
The word freetard is almost, but not quite, the sole reason I've stopped visiting The Register... I can't succintly express my loathing of the word. (The secondary reason is the rest of the stuff that the author who uses the word spills out)
It's not as if you can't find models and photographers in Poland. So why not just take a new photograph?
Because they only needed one head:D
Although I guess I would feel a bit pissed if my head was replaced for something like this. Then again, I do understand the need to create the impression that this is 'you' working here. The annoyance would probably come from the feeling that 'was I really the only thing that didn't match the workplace over there?'. Considering that if they took a new photo, there would probably be some more localization than my head...
I've had the same problem on Gmail. Not sure if the problem still exists, since I can't really test it right now... (well I tried, but the connection I have here doesn't really lag enough for Gmail nor Yahoo)
What (s)he said. Also, while the experts do get paid, if you really want to see that the treatment is paid completely by you, nothing prevents you going to a private doctor and paying some more. Although unfortunately some of those private treatments are also subsidized... mmmm. Perhaps one should go and get the treatment abroad...
(And nothing prevents the experts from starting a private clinic either)

A more sinister view of it is that someone sent her through with (from her blog)
I think that sounds a bit more tinfoilish than the shooting of the laptop itself. The blog doesn't really support that theory.

I'm not planning to die at all. Considering that there are more people living than have ever died, the odds aren't looking too bad ^.^

Unfortunate but true.
attention: this post may contain excessive levels of irony.
Can I get a vaccine against it somewhere?

No doubt they settled for a bigger cut of profits from the upcoming Hobbit film :p
Yeah, and I've never seen them snap...
At least the expense is not extreme, extreme, extreme ^.^

You know, 'back at you' is not even nearly the same thing... Unlike you (even if indirectly) he is not using gay as an insult.
making sense doesn't prevent it from being funny ^.^

Right. I'm pretty sure that when I'll buy next Pratchett my attention span will be a bit longer than 20 minutes ^.^

And even more importantly (for me), the display resolution is apparently a bit higher... The thing I'm worried about is the price...

Like laptop? Or mini-laptop? Or early insanely expensive mobile phones? Or even the current phones, whatever the price?
And the quip about the battery quality? right....
Somehow, that argument doesn't quite cut it considering that gun > knife (for [several/most?] criminal purposes)
'Amazingly enough so are deathray crimes in the Otherworld'
I mean, if there were gun crimes to report sensationally, they would do it in England as well...
It's not a bug, it's a formally proved feature ^.^
