From the bedroom Iran's voice came. "I can't stand TV before breakfast."
"Dial 888," Rick said as the set warmed. "The desire to watch TV, no matter what's on it."
"I don't feel like dialing anything at all now," Iran said.
"Then dial 3," he said.
"I can't dial a setting that stimulates my cerebral cortex into wanting to dial! If I don't want to dial, I don't want to dial that most of all, because then I will want to dial, and wanting to dial is right now the most alien drive I can imagine; I just want to sit here on the bed and stare at the floor."
Her voice had become sharp with overtones of bleakness as her soul congealed and she ceased to move, as the instinctive, omnipresent film of great weight, of an almost absolute inertia, settled over her."

It's propaganda, most of the vans are decoys for scaring people.
A while back there was a poster campaign here. Billboards went up with lists of addresses in the local area printed in 2ft high lettering of who hadn't paid their TV license fee.

You need to get some wiser friends
Those of us not wet behind the ears know that you judge a project *when it ships*, not at the E3 demo. We're still waiting to play Valve's TF2 - Voted "Best Action Game" & "Best Mutliplayer Game" 1999 !

All this has *nothing* to do with the Expansion Pack MMORPG issues.
I was a long time EQ subscriber and DAOC subscriber. I've seen expansion pack after expansion pack come along. It's $40 for hours and hours of content (if it's any good:)
lol, I'm embarassed to have even been talking to you.
But i'm a tell you punk, you gets none of mine Cause I was taught, see a fool, use a fool By the niggaz who terrorized the old school So don't try me or buy me a beer Just stay off my dick nigga, And tell yo bitch to come here.
Apologies if you're retarded or something but ffs can't you read. You, like so many people, are so insecure in the world that the ability to discern observation from complaint seems lacking. Too bad for you, without observation there is no learning.
The poster was alluding to the ubiquity of Flash and that making a website with flash was fine because it was supported by *all* major borwsers. This plainly is a falsehood, my FreeBSD desktop is proof of this, in and of itself.
The last thing I would do is bitch about lack of Flash on my chosen platforms, I'm fucking ecstatic about it.
I cant remember which episode but Homer goes to the dump, he walks past a pile of records marked "Vinyl", a pile of tapes marked "Betamax "and the last one is a space for a pile with the sign DVDs above it.
Alan: Right, OK. 'Shoestring', 'Taggart', 'Spender', 'Bergerac', 'Morse'. What does that say to you about regional detective series'?
Tony: There's too many of them?
Alan: That's one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is, 'people like them, let's make some more of them'.

Stagnation is such an ugly word.
Wouldn't you prefer a consistent, solid interface, even layout bugs and all.
That crap earlier about mozilla learning wtf you are browsing. Who wants that in a browser. That's what a proxy is for you idiots. Stupid 'ooh lets make it do this' crap just keeps us on the treadmill so we have to keep our eye on the the bleeding edge so we know what's coming. Stop already.
You are allowed to say 'hey, it's finished'.
There should be no such thing as tabbed browsing, window management is the job of the window manager. But now loads of applications are bloating from adding tabbed window support, making them less portable, more buggy and less secure with every line of code.
I can't be the only person with this opinion can I ?
in this sentence you are communicating how *you* see the relationship between the people and the god
that is the point I am making
But attacking me for noticing such subtlety and lambasting me for not finding *real* sexism is just makes me feel embarassed. "See a fool, you're a fool".
Perhaps it is because people round here aren't even English.

oh yes we are
This week my local city center was gridlocked for over 2 hours because someone left their suitcase in the bus station, a not altogether unlikely occurence in a bus station.
All this jargon makes my head spin, what is this "Andy Rooney" of which you speak ?
There are some other "standards" that perhaps you aren't aware of

I *really* wanted my address on one but alas no.
We have to pay for our water here (UK), and I imagine most people reading this will pay a similar levy.
All well and good, it costs money to process the water for consumption.
But it is mandated that *all* precipitation belongs to the state.
You cannot (legally) collect water for drinking yourself.
Good to know that she thinks that it is impossible for me to dispassionately look at pornographic images. Jeesh.
That must be why the porn industry is run by gay guys and hetro women !

Sorry bud, I'm a man not a big boy.
From your other posts it sounds like you are a Windows user, which invalidates most of your opinions of OSs off the bat.
Bad Luck.

Katy Segal (Leela & Peggy Bundy) plays the Monk - Lady Sakti
I really enjoyed her performance.
There is enough variety and yet just enough repetition of the on-click phrases.
"Ready to work" in WC3 got a bit bugging but "Me Kilt Itches!" still makes me laugh when I think about it now.

Following on from her success with BBC Basic, Sophie Wilson was asked to help with the instruction set, testing it by hand, on paper !
You are casting yourself as the subject.
Took their women, implies a they to whom the women are subjugate.
Thus it is the "they" that are affected.
"She is your girlfriend" : the speaker gives "you" higher status than "she" for the context of the story.
And so it is with "their women". "They" are afforded higher status than the "women".
This is the institutionalisation of sexism. Shine enlightenment into these dark corners and you may be suprised what you will see.
it's the "their" not the "took"
"their women" implies that the women were property but not by opinion of the contemporaries but that the speaker considers that to be the case.
nice distracting argument though, got me for a second
hmm, yes I grant that could be an interpretation
