I thought that common scientific thought now says that we didn't evolve from the great apes, but there is a common ancester that both the great apes and humans evolved from that was neither a great ape or a human.
I wonder if the discovery of this "random" mutation will help or hinder the creationists or the "by design" crew?
> My understanding is its easier for a Canadian to work legally in Britain than for an Italian
Not at all, the Italian can walk to the UK and get a job. Thats it, no forms to fill, no visa, nothing. The Canadian still needs a visa and has restrictions - although its easier for say a Canadian than for a Mexican - thats the commonwealth in action:-)
This is the first of too many censored passages marked by ". . .." wherin Mr. Wheatly determines (in this unabridged edition) that some of the words of Pepy's are too raw for our eyes. D.W.
Surely these "luxury of freedoms" are part of your way of life, so the terrorists are threatening your way of life, but the goverment is actually taking away your way of life to protect it from the terrorists. Ironic, is it not?
Where does it say the publishers were paying for the material?
The jist I got from the article was that publishers charge for access to the materials and the goverment didn't, hence the site was shut down as it was competeing with the publishers. Not that PubScience was republishing the publishers material.
After all, can't the German customer just call up someone in Britain and have them buy it for him and ship it to Germany, and pay him the $50 plus a bit for his troubles?
Err, yes you are. But Nintendo stopped the person from selling to the German, which is why they were fined.
Perhaps the problem here isn't Nintendo. Perhaps the problem is government laws that prevent the free exchange of goods across borders, or government fees and taxes that discourage cross-border trade, and enable companies like Nintendo to pull stunts like this.
Which is exactly what the EU is supposed to do. There isn't supposed to be fees and taxes, except what you would pay in your own country. Its supposed to be any entirely free internal market.
If I remember rightly VW also got a hefty fine for stopping Germans buying VW cars from Italy.
Basically this boils down to a recent "Levis" case where importing "Levis" from the US or anywhere else is "Piracy". Doesn't matter that they are real levis. All to do with trademarks and stuff.
I remember the "next big thing" during the early and middle 90s was RISC - So will the next big thing will be McISC (More Complex Instruction Set Chips)
I wonder if the core of a MCISC will be RISC, or CISC and that have a RISC core.
posted a comprehensive guide on how to improve your console's image quality.
Dear Sirs,
I cannot find any information on your site about my "Scart" connection, which is the only other input my TV has - surely such a basic connection should have been covered in your "Comprehesive" guide to improving image quality.
"The Russian cytologist Karpchenko (1927, 1928) crossed the radish, Raphanus sativus, with the cabbage, Brassica oleracea..... Plants grown from the seeds were interfertile with each other. They were not interfertile with either parental species. Unfortunately the new plant (genus Raphanobrassica) had the foliage of a radish and the root of a cabbage. "

Spooks, bloody hell, I spent hours on that game as a youngun.
Never did finish it though.
> big-plug, PS2, & USB keyboards
Bloody hell, I've always called them AAY-TEE keyboards, now I find they are "big-plug" keyboards.
I tell ya, you learn something new everyday in this business.

He wouldn't have to spend anything, all he would have to do is avoid the (rather lax if you believe the papers) security around the tunnel.
okay, he would probably be hit by a train, but if he could get into the middle service tunnel he would be okay.
Then he would probably be arrested at the otehr end too.
:-)
Theres a big tunnel connecting France and Greater Britain now, so in theory he could walk from Italy to England, Wales or Scotland.

> decent food and cold beer
That coming from a country that gave us such culinary delights as McDonalds, Burgar King, and Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Isn't that what they did - then used it up by giving everyone a tax cut?
Yea, It doesn't matter what we do, because you other guys have done worse anyway.
I thank that settles that then.
You can also put pension funds in that category - thier only remit is to make money for their members.
Of course if making more money means putting thier members out of work then they will, and do, do it.
Ironic, the person saving for their future has their ability to save for their future removed by the process of saving for thier future.

Except for Neil Kinnock - he resigned and then became the "chief fixer" in the new commision.
Honestly they did

I agree too.
Of course, thats not what this story is about, but hey, why bother reading the links.
> punks on telly swearing at boring old middle aged presenters
Wasn't there one time when one of the presenters took the piss (or maybe he had a coupel of drinks at lunch time) big time along of the lines
"Go on swear, say a swear word"
"no"
"Go on, I dare you to say Fuck"
Surely that should be Burger with a side order of McISCs - well a McISC is a chip.

I nearly burst out laughing at this one ...

Aren't they cute Japenese toys that are also a badly animated cartoon and a card game.
If they aren't banned, they should be.
