"Think about this; think about how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of 'em are stupider than that." - George Carlin, Doin' It Again (1990)
Why is the "BP manager" currently out on a yacht at some annual event instead of sat in court, desperately defending himself from a public prosecutor with a battery of lawyers funded by the US government, WWF, and GreenPeace? No doubt they all want a piece of his personal fortune... Especially the lawyers.
He shouldn't be out sailing, he should be taking a plea bargain involving a few hundred million dollars in personal fines and 15 years in a federal prison.
Anecdotally, I've heard that there's significant evidence for those who are over their "healthy" BMI living longer than those who achieve it. Something to do with starving yourself to look like a magazine cover must be unhealthy... I'd never have thought.
I thought the games were long because half of the time was spent chatting about tactics and re-setting game play. And celebrating Baseketball-style. But I can totally agree that stopping gameplay for commercial breaks is worthwhile.
Just two more reasons to not like American Football, I guess!
Offer your services. Give them your email address, tell them you're knowledgeable on a specific area you think they may cover, and that they can email you with any questions regarding that.
Even if they don't take you up on the offer, you've contributed, you've shown interest. It's one more reason for them to continue doing what they're doing.
I take it no american football game has ever been won by one "score" (no idea how the points works for american football). Giving a "score" more points doesn't make it any less close if there's only one "score" difference.
I get the impression that it's more like Rugby, though, with different types of "score" giving a different point value. Oh, and with body armour, totally non-fluid gameplay, and game times which rival Test cricket.
Computers are not intelligent because they are unable to reason. They iterate until they achieve an optimal solution to a specific set of rules.
Ask a computer to win at chess and unless you're the next Kasparov you're going to be hammered into the ground. Ask it why chess is an important game, and you're SOOL.
Sam could have his profile publicly viewable, and the Brian have his friends viewable. Now everyone can see what Brian does through Sam's profile.
I don't have any work colleagues on my Facebook profile; I see them at work. Old colleagues, yes, as I don't see them very often. I get that this is what Facebook was for: Keeping in contact with people you're not in regular contact with.
Oh, and bilking you for as much advertising revenue as possible.
They wanted to decode Lemmy from Motorhead first, but all of the samples they took came back as being a mixture of Whiskey, Amphetamines, and some sort of superhuman white blood cells that not only could fend off any currently known STD but also had a nasty habit of smashing test tubes and threatening lab assistants.
That's the way he likes it, baby. He don't want to live forever!
Facebook tagging of pictures and posting of your name has shown us just how little you should trust your friends.

And finally, thanks for proving that business is Microsoft's customer, not end users. It doesn't matter how at-risk someone at home is as long as business is happy, right?
Just like the car driver is BP's customer, and the OAP with a cash ISA is HSBC's customer? Don't kid yourself; Home users are suffered for the sake of keeping up appearances. They spend orders of magnitude less than corporate entities, and are therefore bottom-rung. Or does your ISP have dedicated 3rd-line support for your home broadband connection?

And on my WinMobile device half a decade ago.
Digital zoom, multi-tasking, homescreen wallpaper changing, bluetooth keyboard support... Yup, all on my HTC Himalaya (released 2004).
Did you even read the comment you replied to? The sarcasm was so thick it looked like it was put on by Paris Hilton's make-up artist.
You, sir, are sick in the head.
It's good that you said the US Army. I was about to ask if it was a quote from Field Marshal Haig.

i'm part of that half!
The next time it happens, mid sentence say as apathetically as you can "I don't care." and walk off to carry on with your work.
Nothing is more satisfying than letting a smug git know that his audience is not impressed.

The fuel used to transport and power it does.
Make the invoice out personally to Arnold, so he can see just how much of a pillock he's been.
Two words: Adblock Sunglasses.
(I'd polarise lenses perpendicular to that of the LCD filter.)

Less endemic morbid obesity.

It's not the CEO's who'll suffer, it's the jobless pimps and poor blow-farmers in Afghanistan who ultimately lose out!

...coverage of the crown princess and her upcoming boring wedding... on every XXXXXXX channel...
That doesn't sound like any kind of wedding I've ever been to, and not that boring at all. Unless she's a little... err... Homely.

Great. So we get to thank Chuck Norris for being permanently behest to the oil conglomerates.
THANKS A BUNCH.
I didn't know Americans knew of John Prescott.
Indeed we do. Clinical testing has proven that when applied to the "mini-me" orally by your wives, erectile performance improves dramatically.
I don't think those with mod points are thinking with their top brain today.
Top. Hint hint.

This thread became strange very quickly. Still, so many charming jokes.
By the way, how do you fix the casing on an LCD monitor at CERN? Put some gluon!
