    I am somehow unsure of the Dorking "metrosexual" demographic.

    I'd suppose it to be similar to that of rural New Hamshire, or Labrador, if you like.

    Now, why do you think they are called "BROKErs"?

    'Cos YOU are the "broke-ee".

    They aren't pushing this publicity - including the change of James Bond to Hold Em from Baccarat - unless it pays.

    You have as many as you like! They are dynamically spawned - the number in use, plus 1.

    Now, if you like the fixed number of namable workspaces, with cyclical arangement? There are trivial shell extensions that provide this behavoir.

    Not a game - or entertainment or luck. Just calculation of reall odds and risk.

    There are 3 such games: Craps, Blackjack and Baccarat. Poker is promoted so heavily, because it makes the Casinos so much lucre.

    Well, my grandmother relied exclusively on anecdotal evidence, and SHE lived to be 103!

    I'd like to establish a control set for Rush's experiment. I beleive that it is actually his "personality" which is the mechanism preventing fertilization.

    Hey. This guy can't make an $80,000 electric car that doesn't brick itself on deep discharge.

    I don't want to trust his lithium-ion, bargain basement Mars mission! "Range-anxiety" on the road? That's one thing. "Range-anxiety" in interplanetary space? Quite another kettle of fish...

  23. Re:The people will be the ones who suffer on Iran Deleted From the World's Banking Computers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The ordinary people will suffer. This is both an act of war and a war-crime. Collective economic punishment as brutal as burning crops and poisoning reservoirs.

    The real reason? Protecting the Imperial dollar as supreme instrument of International economic hegemony.

    The nukes are a pantomime

    Last week, the Tehran Times noted that the Iranian oil bourse will start trading oil in currencies other than the dollar from March 20. This long-planned move is part of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's vision of economic war with the west.
    "The dispute over Iran's nuclear programme is nothing more than a convenient excuse for the US to use threats to protect the 'reserve currency' status of the dollar," the newspaper, which calls itself the voice of the Islamic Revolution, said.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/commodities/9077600/Iran-presses-ahead-with-dollar-attack.html

    Beware the "Ahmadinejad" bullshit in the above post. The position of President in Iranian politics has even less power to establish or enforce policy than does that of a US President.
