"Lets not get into the involuntary immolation of wicca shall we?" Given that Wicca was invented in the 50s, I doubt you're going to find any "teh burning tymes!!" incidents there.
"I expect high street music prices in Dublin to rise with several Euro over the next few months. For the music companies Irerland will become an experimental area to see how much of a surcharge they can get away with"
lol! You must be joking, the prices are already extortionate by comparison with anywhere else in europe. We've already been the subject of "let's see how much we can rip off these guys" thanks to the celtic tiger. If I want CDs, I'll buy them off amazon, itunes, whatever. HMV ireland for example charges outrageous prices for box set dvds (70 euro for fringe season 1 when it's about 12 euro on amazon, gtfo), there's no room for them to move it up any more. Even compared to HMV UK it's unreasonable, and nobody is buying the "cost of business is more expensive in ireland" excuse for 30%+ markups anymore.
As for the thread title, there's at least 4 different types of mobile broadband that i can think of right now - vodafone, o2, meteor and that "three" company (admittedly not quite 'broadband' but sufficient unless you want to download en masse), ntl, a lot of wireless companies, etc. Eircom already have bad customer service and often a bad rep, there's thankfully a number of alternatives. Only problem as mentioned before is their ownership of the actual lines.
There's still no excuse for cyclists cycling across a junction/intersection when the light is red. They're just asking to get run over, and probably the driver would be blamed.
I've seen it happen so many times I'm amazed I haven't seen it go wrong yet
I think statistically significant would have a p value of say, less than 5% (conventional value). The smaller the p value, the more "significant". So if it's a p value of 4.9%, it's barely into the "significant" range.
But yeah, "barely significant" does sound funny:)
I'm always amazed when I see such a fuss made over calculus in secondary school in the USA - it's completely standard here, even just for students taking "ordinary level" maths.
Back on topic though, I've never heard of this guy nor seen the film, I'm really curious to see it now. It's such a pity his hard work and dedication seems to have been undone afterwards. Education is so important.
I have to agree, this all seems like a non-issue. My login ID and pin AND password are enough to just view my accounts; if I wanted to make any external transactions I need this stupid little card reader machine (they post it out free to you) plus atm card to stick into it which generates some code I then need to enter on the site. I'm happy enough with that, it's all convoluted enough
The only thing worse is the system for paying utilities, I have lived in 3 places only one of them actually had a system to automaticly withdrawn the exact amount I owed them each money. For the others I have to make to setup an automatic payment of what I guess it will be then once a year we reconsile. It is really going to suck this year because of the cold temperatures last summer and this winter.
Wha? All our utilities take direct debit where I live...
What if I want to give someone money when I don't have an Internet connection? (Similarly with a wire - I can't believe that the OP of this thread thinks going into a bank is easier than just writing out a cheque, although maybe these things have different names in the UK to the US?)
Or what if I don't have the security keypad device thing that my bank requires me to use? Or I don't have access to the strong passwords on me at that moment? What if the bank introduces new security measures, and you can't access the website until then (yes, mad as it sounds, Barclays pulled this one on me, when they started requiring the aforementioned keypad device things).
What if the website's "down for maintenance"?
Christ, you guys have it lucky there. Even if you have a BROKEN tv here, you still have to pay. "No signal and I only use it for consoles anyway" wouldn't and doesn't fly.
Of course, our national tv channel funded by the licence payer is full of ads and they pay far too high salaries for complete rubbish.
While it might get slightly better results then just showing ye old wacky error message I predict you'll get the "the what now icon in the corner? I didn't see any icon in the corner" response.
Ain't that the truth. Anyone suggesting the funny icon idea has never seen the responses to the "count how many people are throwing the basketball" video. What do you mean big gorilla running around the screen, what gorilla?!
It's the magic ebul p2p software that prevent you installing p2p software...
Maybe they're trying to counteract any possible "but I didn't know it was on my computer" defenses
Don't know though:D
People in Canada spend, on average, $3,895 per year on health care. Meanwhile, Americans spend $7,290. The United States has about 2.4 doctors per thousand people. Canada has 2.2. The United States has 10.6 nurses per thousand people, while Canada only has 9. Clearly, our system is better.
That's a bit mad isn't it?
Ireland spends on average EURO2,463 against the US EURO5,240; ireland has 3 docs/1000, 15.5 nurses/1000
I think on the wiki tables our life exp was only marginally higher than USA though
I like our system best, combo of public and private

Oh, it's a theory and a law. You've a theory of gravity e.g. newton or general rel.
[on a related note, have a laugh =)
http://www.bringyou.to/apologetics/p67.htm The main point was scientific theory != "this idea I had when I was in the pub". Anyone loudly proclaiming "evolution is ONLY a theory" really needs to go read up on what being a theory really means.
So is gravity.
Seriously, if you don't know what the word "theory" means in a scientific sense, go read up on it instead of running your mouth off.
A theory is as solid as it gets, it's not magically going to grow up one day into a law. It's a theory and a fact, simple as that.

"If they wouldn't be stupid..."
You make it sound like being stupid is a choice. Did you mean "if they weren't stupid"?
Why don't you just use PAYE...?
There's still no excuse for cyclists cycling across a junction/intersection when the light is red. They're just asking to get run over, and probably the driver would be blamed. I've seen it happen so many times I'm amazed I haven't seen it go wrong yet
avoid credit altogether, or perhaps only use it responsibly. Have just a few credit cards
You think having a few credit cards is responsible ?! What about just one?
I honestly could care less.
So you DO care then...

I would have regarded the change from "saves" to "save" a more important one, since the former implies god will definitely save the industry...

...a Massachusetts teenager, she'd just moved over from Ireland. 2 of the charges were for statutory rape, another for threats with weapons. Not a lolol-facebook-online bullying situation as some seem to be suggesting. http://www.independent.ie/national-news/nine-students-charged-over-suicide-of-tragic-irish-teenager-2116877.html
What, then, do you call persistent, willful ignorance despite repeated direct negative consequences?
stupidity

How much does a direct debit cost you?
The only thing worse is the system for paying utilities, I have lived in 3 places only one of them actually had a system to automaticly withdrawn the exact amount I owed them each money.

You use telephone banking.

Well if it became a normal person after becoming a "better legal entity" then it's all good eh...

My health insurance premiums have been rising by $1000 a year for a long time. The average health care plan costs $14,000 a year for a family
Every time I hear USA prices, I'm in disbelief. Mine's 600euro for the year for me alone, and it's definitely not the bare minimum of coverage...
