If 96% of people had done it the social pressure might have been insurmountable.
He might have figured if he was the only person in the village who didn't give DNA the police would investigate him and find him anyway, so he might as well give the DNA, hope that there would be a mistake, or hope that he could claim "If it was me, then why did I give them my DNA?"
"I am better than someone else because of the software I use."
Nice man, real nice.
The fact is you shouldn't have to reinstall windows or install linux on a new computer just to get it working properly. And an awful lot of people, like my parents for example, aren't going to realize what's causing them all the problems.
Right, my mom is the only person I know who uses her face on her facebook account and I think it would be really awesome to see her on a billboard or something, as would she.
If i had known so many people were going to say it I wouldn't have said anything. I feel like a bit of a drone now. But it's the first thing that came into my head when I saw the headline.. "Isn't betelgeuce the past?" I said to myself. Oh well.
Kids learn really fast though, if a lot of those families have kids in them they'll figure out how to use everything in a few weeks and can teach their parents, not to mention they probably do ICT in school.
Great thing about twitter is that it's not really a social networking site anymore. Most people don't post about themselves at all, it's more like slashdot. You share interesting stories and articles you read. And you follow your favourite news sources, journalists, writers, etc. But it's better than Slashdot now in my opinion because you get the information sooner. Not to mention slashdot users are often unfriendly and endlessly looking for opportunities to act superior to each other, where as in twitter you want your stream to stay interesting and dynamic and don't waste your time on the typical petty arguments typical of other social outlets on the internet.
You're just trolling now. The machine is programmable. It doesn't say "A computer is a machine which is programmable at all times by anyone". Someone programmed it, it's still programmable, you get a firmware upgrade it'll be reprogrammed, it's a computer. What else? A butterfly?
To be honest 40% is much too high anyway. If you have a high income it's because you generate a lot of money, you deserve it (unless you're a banker), you are an asset to the country and are probably bringing in more money than you're being payed.
Ireland is being criticized by the EU for unfair tax exemptions for certain businesses, they say other EU countries can't compete. But 20% of Ireland's GDP comes from foreign companies so there's no shaking them.
Tech jobs are the only jobs that are still available in Ireland. We went from 4% unemployment to 12% in 2 years. [rant]There's a levy on the wages already, they argued that we had one of hte highest minimum wages in Europe.. but we also have one of the highest costs of living.. they're raising taxes on the poor, the rich already have to pay 40% tax so it would have been insane to touch that... but people are still complaining about it (go figure). the HSC has already done everything possible to destroy free medicine (and blamed it on the chemists by trying to force them to sell things at a loss and then saying with the support of the press they are evil capitalists for refusing) health care is damaged, free education is gone, language support for immigrant children gone, class sizes bigger..... Oh I could go on and on but I'm ranting.. all the perks are gone. The country is fecked, but no one is going to starve. And a poor person in ireland is still financially 150 times better off than a poor person in America, our social welfare never runs out, and everyone is always entitled to whatever health care they need. [/rant]
What I like about it is it's user generated search, if the results are crap, you can fix them. I think the more people use it the better it's going to get.

What they're saying is it might have blown up around 600 years ago... or not
I don't think firefox has crashed on me in 3 years.. I use lazarus every single day.
I was thinking that... glory fades.. mundi?
I really want to but i can't till they have an extension for form recovery.
Exactly! This was needed YEARS ago I've been making tapes from the radio since I was 5!

I can't wait to see all the characters in a range of different outfits!

I hope they don't also automatically categorize us under such headings too!
Also..
"let's try this illegal thing! Maybe we won't get caught and we can keep the 50 million. if we do, what harm?"
So you can keep yourself out of prison and do whatever you want if you're a millionaire. I am shocked.
arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh
really? You have no sympathy for another human being whatsoever? I'd rather be missing intelligence than missing empathy and basic human kindness

You are not qualified to decide what a word means. What you call an appliance could be a parrot.

Right.. I feel like complaining about the fact that smart phones and ipads etc. ARE personal computers.. but then someone will punch me in the face.
Tax credit is now €15,200 since the 4 year plan.

Irrelevant. They were crap. I remember people saying "why would we need Google when we've got Ask Jeeves?" Google isn't even adorable character based!

The person who makes the list decides that, and the lists are mostly editable by all members.
I turned off that, it's ridiculous, I'm equally interested in both types of wine.
This is selective.
