I'll wager that as an antipodean you don't even know the history of your nation.
Well study the transportations performed in the name of that Norman state and tell me how we (the human race) have benefited from it?
The UK's inner cities cleared out, hundreds of thousands dead on the journey, the Australian aboriginies decimated physically and mentally (a race that seems not to even have a proper name).
In fact don't bother, just go backl to sleep. .oO0Oo.
"In hardware, there's slippage. A one-ohm resister is never exactly one ohm. . . . I like the logic of software. When you make a mistake, it's your fault," he said.
He's an agent of the occupying forces who siezed control of our lands in 1066.
His role is not to improve the lives of the people but to maintain his party in office.
That's why the turnout for elections is so low, people want to choose NOT to be governed by these people yeat they pretend they have a mandate to oppress us and send in their troops whenever the people oppose them.
Shoot to kill at a political protest, now that's civilisation. .oO0Oo.
Which is the sort of thing the US tries to prevent. Maybe it's just me but that's not my perspective on US foreign (or domestic!) policy. Was Vietnam part of a pro-human rights campaign? Again my perspective is different (but I wasn't in the Oval office at the time).
If we had originally proved our military superiority with this scheme, we would have a much more stronger ability to prevent this kind of barbarism in third world countries like Iraq and Pakistan I'm not sure the US state, or many other places for that matter (I'm not anti US I'm pro-people), really care about such things. I can't remember any Western political leader speaking up for the rights of women of to walk down the street without being shot by Talibans yet break a few windows in Seattle/London and it's off to chokey for 10 years as the President/Prime Minister condemns your actions on TV.
There was a time when media would compete for readers to generate revenue from sales of the media but now the empasis seems to be to get readers to impress advertisers to part with money.
When you design a web site should it be for the benefit of users or the benefit of page impression (i.e. splitting an article over three pages so the user gets three banner ads) and how do you balance that? .oO0Oo.
Adverts seemingly pollute every environment that opens up which is tiring to our minds as we have to cope with all this unrequested stimuli trying to grab our precious attention away from our natural desires and subvert them with pressure to consume that which we didn't know we wanted and certainly didn't care about.
So my question is :
"Do you every long for a space that is advert free or do you hope one day that when I make my toast in the morning each slice of bread will carry one of your adverts?" .oO0Oo.
We now live in a Utopian dreamworld here in Europe.
How sorry I am that nice Mr Churchill didn't burn more poor working class Germans alive every night.
I feel much safer in my bed knowing that the shining example of human decency could suddenly rain down on my head if some power hungry fanatic gets control of the land I live in.
I know, let's all get in a truck, drive off to Pakistan with a flamethrower and burn alive the poor women who are forced to stay at home under the threat of death from their "law enforcement" protectors.
Oh, sorry shhhh everything is fine, people are not persecuted any more because Hitler is dead and GI Joe is #1. .oO0Oo.
The fact of the matter is that if America had shown early on that they were clearly the superior superpower on Earth the Cold War might not have dragged on for as long as it did.
Ah I see, you mean because the Russian people didn't have TV sets no-one noticed Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Luckily the powerless individual poor fucking average Joe was turned into dust for the crimes of his oppressor.
I hope you never get your turn to see the blinding light .oO0Oo.
Replace hadnouts with wealth distribution and you seem to have a nice place to live.
My government was formed in 1066 and the raw materials of this land placed in the hands of six people. Many people have fought and are still fighting this occupation of our lands in whatever ways we can.
It is the poor who eternally hand out.
What a utopian fool I am for dreaming of something different. .oO0Oo.
Well I wasn't there but the books I have read seem to tell me that One World, One Communism was a bit of an idealogy.
The revolution was to be worldwide to liberate the people.
This turned into One State, One Communism when the governments of Europe seemed not to comfortable with a Bolshevik revolution from the working classes and Stalin softened his position to keep the morale of the people favourable to keep the GDP on the up.
Luckily we live in societies where GDP is not a measure of personal affluence and good and services are priced and developed in favour of the consumer.
World "conquest" was very much on Stalin's mind until late in the day however, like the Nazis and world capitalists the communists saw this as liberation not conquest.
Opposition was ruthlessly and bloodily crushed.
Governments work for the benefit of governments not the governed. .oO0Oo.

So many sites remain in existance because of banner ads that I think it's a bit unfair personally to have them turned off in the browser.
I don't like ads but I have managed to live with them for long enough. Commercial realities exist.
The main downfall of Melissa or ILOVEYOU is the sheer speed at which it propagates. Spewing forth upon contraction is a bit silly for a virus. Much better to lie dormant for some time and then infect slowly.
Spewing leaves much evidence and lets people get a clue that there is a problem. Maybe there is a WSH virus that has infected many, many machines and is trickling their passwords out right now.
i think this really goes to show how complex document presentation requires planning and forethought
the things people are giving horror stories about here have solutions already built into Word.
not to diss anybody or any product but just sitting down and typing is clearly not the approach for any large scale project which a thesis no doubt is.
most people don't spend the time learning the true capabilites of such complex programs as Word and end up spending hours re-jigging things that should take moments if you use the tools in front of you.
Heck most people I've witnessed don't use paragraph styles and love to spend ages changing fonts and sizes manually - trashing any special formatting they put in for special cases.
People are averse to learning when they think they "need to get on with it". If you do a lot of document preparation then spend a week learning the tools available.
Sadly most users are scared to even try because they think they'll never understand it. How many people have you seen that don't even know what tabs do or how to set them! .oO0Oo.
