    I'm amazed you're watching things far outside your own basement.

    I'm a Brit, you insensitive clod! I've never even seen a basement!

    Am I the only one that is amazed that we as a species are watching events happen that are far, far outside our galaxy?

    You're a long way from home; I understood that Jupiter wasn't very hospitable to your kind. Not enough water, wasn't it?

    Your magnetic field strength will be limited. What use is a robotic hand that can't use metal tools?

    Oh, shut up Dennis. It isn't your turn until a week next Monday.

    So what? Because of the over-selling I only get half of my 20Mbps now!

    I never heard of that. All the cars I have owned either prevent you from locking the driver's door when it's open or unlock the door if you close it when it's locked. (I assume you might bypass this by holding the handle as you described) For myself, I'd simply suggest that you lock doors after you use them rather than during.

    Your sarcasm detector appears to be out of alignment. (I hope; parent does use 'u' and actually bothers to type 'and stuff')

  9. Re:Unfair on Google Joins EU Antitrust Case Against Microsoft · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree. But then again a version of Windows that will only run MS software is also fine in my eyes. It's their product, and if people aren't happy then they shouldn't buy it. Does the EU force Apple to unbundle QT and Safari, or what about iTunes? Are BMW forced to fit a third-party stereo?

    There are dangers on the internet; this is not one of them.

    . And the millions of fools stupid enough to fall for it, what about them?
