You must not know many Europeans (or at least British) - since the demise of ICQ into bloatware I've never met a single person who's not used MSN (a couple of them also had AIM accounts, and now skype is also becoming more popular)
I must admit, I find wikipedia 'incredibly valuable' for settling arguments... you can just change any article to reflect what you claim to be true, and then present it to whoever doubted you in the first place!
The trick is just to make it sound plausible - It's not like anyone will actually check the facts against other sources.
I've got about 3000 spam e-mails in my box - it's worth checking the first couple of pages for false positives, but I can fairly safely assume after a while that if anything important had been caught then someone would have tried to get in touch with me again about it. Deleting 3000 messages page-by-page when you can only view 100 messages at the time is a PITA, especially if you have to do it once a month.
I've given up, and just assume that any false positives are probably fairly dull anyway, and just download everything by POP so I don't have to use their web interface any more.
Another reason why it's a bad day - The Times has just run a front page story pointing out that Sony is trying to force internet retailers out of business in an anti-competitive move to push up prices this Christmas for consumers in the UK....
Given that as a public web application it should be expected to work on a Mac, right-click isn't something that can be assumed - I imagine anything that you can do with right click would just be a shortcut to something in the menus
Absolutly, especially with the exchange rates at the moment (almost 2USD to the pound). I read an article in the paper the other day that concluded it cost about the same to fly from London to New York for the weekend and do all of your xmas shopping there as it would to buy all your shopping on the British high street, and you get to spend the weekend in New York.

It wasn't demolished, it was sold on. It's now called the O2 arena or something like that, and it's used as a gig venue.
Hygiene? That's news to a lot of nerds.
Wow, thanks for that link - Mulberry is a brilliant e-mail client (although it's taken me about 3 years of use to realise _just_ how good it is.)
Show me another client that lets me manipulate ACLs on IMAP and store all my preferances on a remote server and I _might_ consider switching.
So posting my 2 cents now costs $1? Guess that's inflation for you...
If it's only 2 square miles, why would you need a car?
As at the time of independence you used the English style (unsuprisingly). Check out this wikipedia article.

Almost all of them except IT? Almost every computer user has heard of ZIP compression, very few non-technical users have heard of any other type.

Just to spell it out for _It doesn't come easy_, this is a a joke flying right over your head.
Related to birth? Assuming that was a subtle way of insulting me, I think you'll find the etymology is actually from the old norse "kunta"...

(As an aside, I think this is the first time I've had to look stuff up in the OED to have an argument on
You are wrong. "Nation" decribes a culturally distinct population, "country" just refers to the geographical area.
Doesn't bloody work though. tried texting it this morning (from O2), never got a reply.
Anyone had any luck with it?
Your (sic) the one that's wrong. England, Scotland, & Wales are nations that make up the UK (a country).
Saying that the Irish will never be a part of the UK is a bit presumptious as well, isn't it? History has a habit of repeating itself....
You can often get them on eBay, they're known as Pokias (check out pokia.com for the bloke who started it all)
Just one of the many benefits of being a student ;)
...so we get it for free on the NHS?
I'd like to think that you change gear a lot more than you retune the radio though, they're hardly comparable tasks.
I think you'll find the phrase is "couldn't care less". Saying you could care less implies that you do care about it.
That's certainly what it's used for in parts of London - check out HomeChoice.
Actually, most people I know what to come into work around lunchtime...
