Reader of FHM in the US regularly place Hurley highly in their "Sexiest Women In The World" Poll. Gotta say, I don't see it myself, but then I have a thing against posh totty.
On top of that detector vans and operators are just that much more expensive to than sending people round to "knock on the door and hope for the best".
It is also common for some of the less popular series (including some that we geeks tend to appreciate more than the normal tv-watching person) to get cancelled or postponed by the broadcaster mid-season, or to undergo some intruiging re-arrangements in broadcast schedule etc.
In the UK, the BBC got into the habit of showing one episode of Seinfeld per night, but never at the same time as the previous night's. Then they showed two episodes of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" before burying it away on a digital channel most people can't get.
Oh, woe to be British and lumbered with all these ugly, ugly, women. They're not glamourous or sexy, which is why Hollywood won't touch them with a bargepole.
If only we could produce hotties like Madeleine Albright, Condaleeza Rice, and Barbara Bush.
Exactly. Why do Brits download so much US TV i) They don't want to wait for it appear over here. ii) Unlike other European countries, they don't need TV companies to dub/subtitle it into a different language.
I consider myself a pro-European Brit, but the intransigence and power of the unelected Commision to act in the face of the elected Parliament makes me foam at the mouth like Norman Tebbit. Is it really so hard for them to see that those with a mandate should be sovereign?
I want a close and strong European Union -- I just don't want this European Union.
Does anyone have a link to these researchers' paper -- so the methodology can be actually examined (as opposed to the various slanders above). A couple of brief "executive summaries" written by journos doesn't really cut it.
... it's funny, isn't it, that when Lawyer's claim games inspire these sorts of things, its always the games made by fantastically wealthy corporations, who might be willing to settle out of court for large sums.
To my knowledge WINE is an emulator for windows, so that windows programs may be run without purchasing windows.
Then WINE users should get their updated library file from winehq.org, and not rely on microsoft to provide free functionality for their own competitors.
This standard is only applied to software, and it's ridiculous.
If someone breaks into my car by smashing the window, it's the thief's fault. If someone breaks into my car because the auto manufacturer made it so that an individual key can open every cars of that model, I'm sure as hell going to blame the manufacturer.
The problem isn't the expense of third party locks, it's the need for third party locks. (And it's an unadvertised need, too. I don't imagine your Windows PC, when first turned on said "CAUTION : This machine is vulnerable to numerous viruses and IE exploits. Please download and activate free tools like AntiVir, AdAware, and ZoneAlarm before continuing". I know mine didn't).
Because logging in as root is like leaving your car unlocked.
Running Windows (pre XP,SP2) is like buying a car whose locks don't work, only to have dealer explain that if the car is stolen because I failed to buy an expensive, third party lock, immobiliser and alarm, it's my own fault for not displaying "due diligence." Sorry, but operating systems, in their default setup, should prevent arbitrary third parties from running code on my machine.
PS : Why am I replying to someone who's called "Trolling4Columbine". I must be stupid.
Their software was faulty, and it allowed hackers to turn machines into spam spewing zombies. Several years later, they partially fix the problem (although they treat only the symptons, and not the assorted IE/ActiveX holes that constitute the disease) and you want me to thank them?
Well, yes, I was going for the cheap laugh (Hey! It's what I do, but...)
Security holes get left in software by accident, and by sloppiness on behalf of programmers. If that happens, bad things can happen (malware gets in).
Surgical instruments get left in bodies by accident, and by sloppiness on behalf of doctors and theatre staff. If that happens, bad things happen (bacteria gets in, the contents of your bowel seep into your stomach).
Now MSFT's programmers aren't to blame for the existence of scumbags like Malware writers, anymore than doctors are to blame for the existence of bacteria, or easily lacerated bowels. But if it's through their own laxness and/or incompetence that these bad things can get in... then they've a certain moral imperative to clean up after themselves. For free.

As the old joke goes : Brits think 300 miles is a long way. Americans think 300 years is a long time.

Or that you sublimate your violent impulses using the excuse-for-a-punch-up-formerly-known-as-hockey.
Well, err, yes.
That's the point. You're supposed to.
That's what makes it a joke.

Besides, as Marcus Brigstocke wrote:(Link includes groovy retro PacMan game).
Do you do this for other perfectly good verbs?
Do American thieves thieverize?
Do American rapists raperize?
Does American pirates indulge in piratisation?
I was a victim of a Serial burglar once. I didn't have breakfast for four months because of him... /*rimshot*/

Four years of stasis.
Two years of complete disinterest.
That's some really rapid innovation, there, Bill.
