    The U.S. and E.U. export food to the rest of the world. Not sure about E.U. pop figures but U.S. is approaching 300 M pop.

    What about bilingual English/Klingon? Should be a fair number of them.

    Dell probably figures the potential market of Linux in Canada isn't worth the cost to hire an intern and run their manuals through an Engrish translation tool.

    People would stop filtering spam.

    I think you'd just set up your gear for what ever level you wanted and no matter how high a signal comes in, doesn't override.

    Unless you get hosed by a virus. Man, getting digitally blackmailed will suck!

    Tell me about it. Hell, I'll even skip the browsing slashdot at home and head over to LJ. Sucks I'm only allowed to post inane, pointless comments on tech sites at work and not social sites.

    I like toidals!

    Is weird. My roommate from college, she still gets excited about bands and goes to shows and stuff. Me, just don't get too worked up over music any more. Weird! I mean, I used to be in to tracking down Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull bootlegs (usually over from Germany) and now, I haven't even picked up a new Tull album since '97. Maybe I am really getting old. I don't seem to get too excited about new movies/tv shows either. Oh well, there's my daughter and helping her grow up. That's still fun!

    What's this Blockbuster you speak of? They set up those empty store fronts in run down strip malls?

    Closest thing I could see to this scenario would be plugging a flash drive into a kiosk at the supermarket.

    There, fixed that for ya'.

  20. Re:1906 on Huge Arctic Ice Shelf Breaks Off · · Score: 1

    Hey, accepting Global Warming takes money from the anti-global warming industry. Just think of all those poor lobbyists and report writers, un-able to buy new suits. Because of you, a hard working tailor will now go hungry. I hope you can live with your self.

    Water's good for you and necessary to the point that you need it at least every three days. 'Course, too much water, as that Wii seeking Mom found out, can be bad. All thing's in moderation. Why is the rum gone?
