Interesting, because I saw an exact same first post, but I was unable to observe it. However, I did see how fast it was typed.
Between us, we broke the limit right?
Mod parent up.
One must also consider that as the current internet savvy demographic ages, and a younger one follows, more of the population will care about their privacy and rights. You can already see that happening with privacy issues on facebook. It wont be long before people complain about record companies tracking and giving information to ISPs or however it will work.
If one ISP stands up and refuses to give up records etc, and people rally behind them, that company would hopefully flourish. However I don't think there are enough people in Ireland that care enough to do this. We have bigger issues on our minds. At the very least, one should be able to rally the student population and others who care about personal right and free stuff downloaded from the internet!
yeah exactly. I dont understand the point of suing a bankrupt company. Who's going to pay the debts, AND the legal fees? The only people who will benefit will be the layers.
I know that but a plant needs a small amount of salts (naturally present in soil anyway in low concentrations). I'm not sure whether the [salt] in urine is toxic for plants. It would vary a lot anyway.
Communication my arse! how long before this is turned into a weapon. Or is "communication" some secret word for "Killing" that I havent been told about?
in NUI Galway, Ireland, all the servers (new ones at least) are named after obscure Simpson characters. There's Frink, Riveria, Ralph, Canyonaro, Brockman....
And probably another revolution. They'll call it the War of a Hundred Beers.
pfft, hundred... american pussy.
Atleast a thousand for a couple of people to be tipsy. This is Ireland we are talking about.
In all seriousness, there's no way it will be enforced. If it is, it will ignored so badly that all the big newspapers will be threatened with being closed until there is public outcry.
most people here (Dublin) have barely heard of the law and less care. No one is going to stop swearing.
You should have read to the end. Or just skipped to the end.

The problem is that even if you dont watch television (i.e. TV is solely used for consoles or whatever) you still have to pay for a licence.
If a man came into your house and stole an unspecified sum of money (say around â170) and left again, having given you nothing in return, would you report him to the police? Sure, he's left you with the option of having a conversation about some topics, maybe using your imagination, but these are all things that you had before anyway.
If so, then why is it acceptable for the government to charge us in order to use our TV's? Even if I don't watch a millisecond of programming on any of the domestic channels (which given the variety of satellite packages available is a distinct possibility) I'm still obliged to fork out money to provide for television shows which I have no interest in watching and TV actors who I have no desire to finance!
Do people think that it's legitimate to charge everyone for this service, even though not everyone uses it? If so, one last question, why don't they just tax it. Surely not having a TV means I get the same usage as having one and not watching domestic channels.
How long before MS releases that format? Stealing the code and improving on it slightly to sell it. And adding an X to the end to make it sound cool and hip!

You couldn't be more wronger!
I'll be more impressed (and scared) when the lego printer, can make more printers out of lego blocks. And make more blocks out of liquified humans.

wow that's amazing, although I wish it was something funnier :-/
All glory to hypnotoad or something similar.
mod parent up. They spent the time working that out. Deserves more than a 0.

I'd never noticed that before. Could also be Grevious bodily harm.

Personally, I've always called it a g-spot,
as it is situated next to the g key in case some of the virgins on here didn't get that...

I don't know about you, but I've just been putting a magic marker around the edges of my ebook. That get's rid of the DRM pretty well. /humour

Cant wait to see what Yatzee has to say about the game. My bet is that he'll destroy it anyway, if he gets his hands on a copy.

Would love to mod this funny, but no points... :-(
It's taking the piss and feeding it back to you after harvest.
Honestly, who is surprised by this? Urine contains a lot of nitrogen, water, and salts that a plant needs.
I smell spyware.

Quite a good theme IMO,

Wonder how much I could get for my old phone sitting in the drawer next to me. couple of grand wouldnt go a miss!

I'm more interested if this is a bug or a feature. M$ embracing (ok, not that intimate, but a flirty look, at) open source software.
