I had a 17" monitor I bought in about 1994, and only had to get rid of it about a year ago (I probably could have had it fixed, but it was cheaper to buy a working second-hand one). I currently have a 19" monitor that's probably about 10 years old, and perfect (I scored it cheap from work because they were about to dispose of it). They certainly last longer than 5 years.
Clinton was a Rhodes scholar, so he certainly isn't a dunce. You might not like him, but that's not really relevant.
Bush is clearly either as thick as pigshit, or a liar(or possibly both). You only have to hear him speak, or read any interviews he's given, comments he's made, etc, to come to the conclusion he's a couple of stubbies short of a six-pack.
One of the mid-70's Holden Kingswoods (an Australian car) had the petrol cap under the hinged number plate (licence plate to you seppos). It was a really shitty idea, although the car sold well for a lot of other reasons.
Even modern music involves expression of the composer's feelings. They may not be as accessible to listeners as is the case with older music (due to unfamiliarity with the form), but they are implicit in the work nonetheless. Additionally, an expression of logic or structure does not preclude emotional content.

Of course, any hint that the Chinese govt was thinking about this would cause immediate flight of capital to, say, Burma...
It really _is_ up to the importing countries to mandate a fair wage policy.
I assume you mean Fosters Lager. It may sell well in the US, but I don't think too many Australians buy it. I, for one, wouldn't even cook with it. Graham Kerr once said (referring to wine but the principle's the same) that you shouldn't cook with something you wouldn't drink.

Only Muslim terrorists. IRA terrorists, otoh, are likely to drink vast amounts of Guinness (see original parent post - that bloke should be concerned that your govt knows he bought some). Unless, of course, your govt doen't care about IRA terrorists.
>Here I see that RIAA has hired thugs to wear black windbreakers with the letters "RIAA" emblazoned across the back. They are raiding flea markets and "busting" people. The first recorded use of corporate private law enforcement on the streets.
It's not, actually. Early last century, many US companies used Pinkerton's agents armed with pick handles as strike-breakers.
No, it was never 100% - there were guards and stuff.
That said, I have to (reluctantly) disagree with the grandparent post. There _is_ a certain amount of racism in Australia, towards Aborigines (who, like black Americans, are over-represented in the prison population), and the most recent immigrant groups (which happen currently to be predominently Muslim). However, it depends a bit where you are. People out in the bush tend to be a little more racist than city dwellers (a generalisation), and people from the lower socio-economic groups tend to be a little more racist than better-off citizens (another generalisation).
Buying a seperate guitar for each tuning could be expensive, but having one of these contraptions fitted to your guitar isn't exactly cheap (the manufacturer's website mentions a price of about $4K). You could buy a couple of new Strats for that.
I really enjoy theology (disclaimer: I'm an atheist), it's an interesting formal system like Euclidean geometry or the propositional calculus, only less rigorous and with less applicability to the real world.

Is that an Imperial pint or an American pint? (Hint: I know the answer.)

IIRC, US industry was selling materiel to _both_ sides before Pearl Harbour was attacked.
Learn some history before you shoot your mouth off.
What?

It's called Benzin in German, IIRC.

"Trickle-down" just doesn't happen. Ever.
You must be Australian. I don't think too many of the Seppo's will get this.
There's these things called time zones. You may have learnt about them at school ...
So ... the problem will eventually solve itself.

No, a cart is something behind (or perhaps before) a horse. They're definitely trolleys.

I'd be very interested (and quite suprised) to see _any_ evidence for creationism. And no, I won't accept the King James bible as evidence.
Why on earth would you write a web site using VS.Net and SQL server? Unless of course you had no choice in the matter.
You mean, like the developers were on drugs? Nah - it's been done already.

In Australia, Liberal has a quite different, but equally negative, connotation. Here, it means conservative.
And where, pray tell, was this particular dictionary definition generated?
Chile also had a democratically elected Communist government (briefly), until the CIA helped Pinochet topple it.
