If the ICBMs are being set off accidentally, one presumes they will head to wherever they were previously targetted. If Auestralia even has ICBMs (last I checked, they weren't a declared nuclear power), WHY would they be pointed at the UK? I though we Americans were the only Colonists who were ever on such poor terms with the mothe country that we were wanted to kill Brits (and we got over it 185 years ago).
If you're going to worry about early-morning ICBMs, worry about 'em coming from China...
The indellible mathematical truth is counting of any array starts at ZERO For those of us in the C and Java world, sure. But the Julian/Gregorian calendars were clearly designed by Pascal programmers.
You're right about the rents though. But what overpaid, single young geek really cares that much about high rents?
Me. I spent a month in New York earlier this year, in an apartment smaller than the kitchen in my current place, yet which cost more than my mortgage. I kissed the ground when I got back to Memphis, and so did my wallet. I don't doubt that New York is cleaner than it was before Giuliani came in. But it's still a dirty, nasty place, and I can't even conceive of the mindset that causes everyone I talk to from NYC to complain that cleaning up the city is somehow a bad thing. If they were complaining about methods, I could see their point, and would probably agree. But these people are upset about the result, which I just don't understand.
They wouldn't even have to be free to get me there. I'd happily pay the $60/month I'm paying now if it would get me something reliable. I hate the mockery that BellSouth is making of my namesake technology - down three times this week so far - but there's nothing any more stable here (except maybe for dial-up, and that's certainly not an option)

Yes, I am ashamed of myself.

I'm just waiting for global warming to make the winters a little more pleasant, and then I'll move to Boston.

But when there's no power, how do you propose to get the drive open?
