Rapists are unlikely to be able to provide IT support in the 'Big House'. If he can score some free VOIP time whilst he is there, it can save a packet for the prison services.
Well sure, since gaming relies on low latency. Pigeons have ridiculously high latency, but they also have amazingly large bandwidth since they can carry flash memory devices of many gigabytes. You may need to send two copies though as sometimes a falcon causes a "packet" to get misrouted.
I think you will find that the presence of racism clouds the judgement and identifies muslims by colour rather than religion. I believe this is the rationale behind debunking proposed 'racial profiling' at passport control as a brown man with a beard is apparently more of a risk than a white man who gives no appearance of being a muslim.
You see, the beauty of racism is that it is only skin-deep.
Even if it is tiny, the arrangement of the sockets means there is no neat way of arranging the cables which is what most of us struggle with. It's bad enough having a USB stick in the front of a Xbox 360 but at least it's pointing towards you. Can you imagine having flailing cables in this thing?
My woodwork teacher extolled the virtues of identifying face-side and face-edge - the remaining sides being those that the eye would not see. It is the same with current A/V equipment where the hidden sides house the sockets and conceal the inevitable mess of cables.
Perhaps it is a cunning plan to sell 'addons' at the point of sale such as 90 degree USB cable, 37 degree optical audio and 16 degree HDMI - all as a pack for only $200!
I think you will find they have already destroyed hundreds.
Who do you mean by "they"? Fundamentalists or just Muslims in general? Did you actually read any of my post just the bits that appealed to your intrinsic racism?
In the UK there are quite a few right-wing people with the mantra "send them back". I even witnessed someone explaining the logic of this to a Jamaican woman who moved to the UK in the 50s as was encouraged under the Commonwealth. It was okay though, the person doing the explaining said "you're alright though" which made everything okay [phew]..
If you pre-judge a person based upon their perceived group you will only get yourself into trouble. For instance, is 'your mom' a backward under-educated shit kicker based on the utterings from her offspring? Admittedly I don't know the answer to that one but only because I have no evidence either way.
You would be pretty miffed if I tarred you with that brush though wouldn't you? Think carefully before you answer that one unless you think Hitler and Pol Pot were righteous blokes in which case I'm done here
I think part of the problem is that the protesting is based around allowing a building 'for the terrorists' rather than recognising that islamic terrorists make up a tiny fraction of the Islamic community.
Consider this with the fact that muslims were killed in the Twin Towers attack *and* that muslims were also part of the rescue services (plenty of whom lost their lives in the rescue effort) and the protest against the muslim support centre or mosque or whatever seems, well, bigoted.
There was a women from the UK on BBC news on Saturday who lost her son in the attack and she said that you can't blame the Islamic community for the actions of fundamentalists and it is not acceptable to burn sacred texts (referring to the proposed book burning by the disillusioned, former (probably) worst hotel manager, Kentucky pastor nut-job). She then went on to say that she disagreed with the building of the Mosque near ground zero but gave no adequate reasoning. I put this down to her emotional involvement as it contradicts everything else she had said previously.
With such 'logic' you may as well blame men for all war or pigs for tasting so good. How about blaming all Catholics for paedophilia? Some Catholic priests are kiddy-fiddlers therefore all Catholics are kiddy-fiddlers. Fair? I think not.
If you are going to blame a whole religious community you may as well allow a tit-for-tat reaction - I propose allowing muslims to destroy a Christian Church - a good one, Catholic or at least one where they take their shit seriously - but not allow them to rebuild. Karma restored and everyone is equally happy or unhappy.
At least we have diversity in government. When are you English cads going to have a black royal. Our first black members of congress were seated in the 1800's, when are you getting a black Duke?
That's a little simplistic. The royal family is a 'family' and no control can be exerted over them - they marry whomever they marry. Are you suggesting that the British public somehow force a non-white person into the family?
Moreover, there is no shortage of cultural diversity in the royal family. The queen is basically German her husband is Greek. Or do you only measure cultural diversity by the colour of somebody's skin? Shame on you.
By the sound of it, Apple's next move will be to lock down the devices at the hardware level (this gives them a good excuse) and they will have no second thoughts about doing it at all. This means even more locked down "trusted computing" devices in our future. And the sad thing is the consumers won't care either way.

But is it as delicious to use as the iPhone? I think I'd rather live in someone else's well-maintained garden than a bitumen courtyard of my own. I'm not really interested in tinkering with my device - I just want it to work.
That's the difference between renting and buying a property. With the iPhone you have to update for full compatibility which means you play by the rules *or else*. What if your landlord dug up the garden and replaced it with a pig enclosure - would you be annoyed having just signed a 24 month lease?
At least your bitumen courtyard is *your* bitumen courtyard. Plant a garden if you want - it's your choice.
It is only a matter of time before Apple pull a stunt similar to that with the PS3 'other OS' function and really put themselves on shit street.
For reference I do like the iPhone but will be opting to replace my Nokia with an Android device soon. I will keep my iPod for music and podcasts...
I personally think people who spend all of their time playing World of Warcraft need to get a life - this being compounded by monthly fees - but they enjoy it so what's the harm?
Better than car-jacking and/or popping caps in innocent bystanders' collective asses.
Lucas invented the word 'Jedi' to be used within his Star Wars venture. To use it for anything else borrows from good faith of the Star Wars franchise and is unfairly piggy-backing upon that good faith. Just because Lucas is making money hand over fist, it doesn't mean that it is unfair. The last I saw, capitalism was still considered fair, and even desirable, in most cultures.
Does it matter that England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are different countries and are referred to as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the inhabitants being commonly referred to as British)?
I believe it is well established that people from the USA are American and those from the UK are British - can we leave it at that?
Whilst we are at it, when Americans hear what they perceive to be an Australian accent, assume that the person speaking is in fact from the UK. Most Australians are drunk and wear hats with corks hanging from strings.
In return the British will listen out for an American accent with a strange twang and automatically assume the person speaking is from Canada. We will also look out for the hockey stick and racoon skin hat but will be wary of the hat without the stick as that person is likely to be Russian.
Yep, obesity is a problem in Europe too, particularly the UK (where I am from).
I have to say that when going to Disney parks in Florida (not an accurate test of averages I admit) there does seem to be a large amount of *very* large people there.
However, I put this down to population density in those areas and the fact that obese people are much more visible than non-obese people. I dare say that large people may obscure the view of one or more small people too which would create the illusion of more large people. Who knows? Who cares?
I don't agree with your comment on Scotland though - heroine is an appetite suppressant.
If you studied a Quantum Mechanic I assume you would have to work-shadow him/her for a day to see what was going on. This might be quite difficult as s/he would be very small.
The people who frequent facebook are insignificant therefore their opinion is too.
It matters not what they think as Evesham Police Department is unlikely to assist during harvesting season on Farmville therefore they will move along and, presumably, get off the lawn.
I recall seeing Terminator 3D in Florida. The effects were amazing especially considering when the attraction was filmed. It was almost as though the human characters 'burst' forth from the screen.
Transformers is quite literally a bag of shit in comparison although it bears this resemblance when viewed in isolation too.

From another point of view, rich people employ people who pay their taxes which is of benefit to the government.
Furthermore, the reduction in employment is of benefit to society as a whole. I believe that we should salute our rich capitalist overlords!
