you forgot: the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, and possibly Rockall as well, (although the Irish may have something to say about that) if you're after a full set:-)
Since I started using Linux I've produced two. Both one-shot, first try during the fertile time conceptions. When I used windows and VMS, I shagged around a lot but never produced any children.
If Redhat or Mandrake would like to contact me I'd be willing to star in adverts for them........
Same thing as when the American Government prints some more green ones. You still have the same amount of dollars int your bank account, but every one of these dollars is now worth a little less.
I suspect, that you don't really understand economics do you ?
I was at a job interview recently and those of us who were there being interviewed were chatting about fun jobs we'd like to have.
One of the guys there told us that a friend of his, who had previously worked for an arms company, was being recentltly interviewed for a job at a Formula 1 racing team. When asked what he could tell them about his previous job and how he could use that experience in the job he was interviewing for he repliad that, because of the classified nature of his work he couldn't tell them much about what he had been doing. He could, however, help them to make their racing cars invisible to radar.
Well I think that someone as well educated and as well read as Turing would be aware that the Bible makes no mention of an Apple as the "forbidden fruit". IIRC it only refers to "the fruit of he tree of knowledge".
At a wild guess I would say that the apple idea came along due to Northern Europeen painters who knew mostly apple trees.

Sorry to disillusion you but, at least in the UK, we look to the US for aircraft carriers, helicopter gunships and troops. Definitely not for morality. I don't think we're alone in this attitude.
The problem is the large number of jerks with mod points modding up inane, stupid or merely just ignorant posts to +5 makes it very hard to find the really insightful or intersting posts.
I mean, look at how many lame jokes about Darl McBride getting ass-raped by some black prisoner get modded up to +5 Funny
"You lot sound like a bunch of stuck records" Funnily enough, so do you.
However, the point is: why does an organisation, like the UK coastguard, who depend upon their systems to save lives, have a system that is so susceptible to being borken like it was. This question does not necessarily have a technological answer.
I have this picture of a lot of Slashdot weenies, imagining Darl MacBride being anal raped by some large black person, wanking themselves stupid over the the idea and giggling like Beavis and Butthead: "Hn ! Hn! Hn! he said anal rape"
I think I find that more depressing than anything Darl or cohorts get up to.
Slashdot Mirror
Insightful ? Fuck off this is just strawman argumentation with a healthy helping of lying !

...from which you can conclude that at least half the people here have no children

Bzzt wrong! I said total cost, not the cost of the cop's wages.

I suspect, that you don't really understand economics do you ?
So you think that the total cost a speed cop giving someone ticket is less than $50 ?
Remind me not to buy shares in any business you start.
You're worse than dumb, you're dumb and proud of it.
No! This is Slashdot. We'll be discussing everything except the article

DOn't be so stupid.
I look at girls and say to myself: "I wish I could see what is underneath her clothes and then run my hands and tongue all over it "
Let me guess; when you start talking at parties the room empties real quickly, right?
Hopefully the UK will get the new system tested and online before it causes more problems!
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !
Er... sorry.. you've obviously never read or heard about UK government IT projects before.
Or any UK goverment project for that matter (including supplies and weaponry in Gulf War 2)
Why on earth would anyone want to invest money in a fund run by someone else?
Do it yourslef, it's not rocket science. I mean, it's just high school maths at most (at least in the UK)
"Am I right in thinking that currently it's illegal to attempt to communicate with an ET without UN approval"
Who cares? What are they going to do about it if anyone does ?
Pass a resolution ?
Set up an oil for dilithium crystals scheme ?
UMIST = University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology so 5/14 of your last sentence is redundant :-)

Your naive display of faith in the interpretation of the report of the Hutton Enquiry by Murdoch owned newspapers is quite touching.
Funnily enough Fox and Sky are owned by Murdoch as well.
It's you isn't it Jimmy, how's Dad ?
AOL Scot says: Me too, Jimmy
Methinks that Rumsfeld needs to read the verdicts of the Nuremberg trials.
It is the duty of all soldiers to resist immoral orders and they have a moral duty to try to prevent immoral orders being carried out.

"boring" is a bit redundant. By definition all small northern German towns are boring.

Actually, what I find even more depressing is that drivel like the grandparent gets moderated as funny.
