    I don't see it going anywhere. Maybe that's my point if they added some much better features for running and organising things then I wouldn't need to step out side of it to organise the event I've just posted there.

    ^ Yeap. I am free to organize as i wish, but I wouldn't be able to talk to the people I need to. Face book is great for one to many; but it is awful for many to many and oh I just need to subdivide that bit of many into two bits. etc. ect... tce...

    Maybe it will die as a product and I can go back to using something better for organising events with people. One large message box sure is fun.

    No. I'm only in late on weekdays and I don't want to wait in all Saturday. Shopping on line can still be a pain. Meat space holds back the net every time.

    We all know the sun is not a infinite source of energy. But I get 300 minutes of talk time on my phone a month, which may as well be infinite.
    Conclusion: Infinite, even when very very very small, is very very big.

    I liked Oblivion, I just didn't like the Grind and the level up system. What was the point of levelling up with everything goes up with you? I'm sure this has been covered before.

    I just considered it. I like the greek myth stories more.

    I like the Japanese stories of creation too; but I can't get past "Before the heavens and the earth came into existence, all was a chaos" without thinking of Monkey Magic.

    I really want my child to learn about atheism. On Sunday we will sit and read Richard Dawkins books. Which is a bit hard going as I agree with him; but he is a bit too smug.

    So you call a person "some idiot" and then want to be taken seriously? I can't do that. So this is for anyone else that may be reading.

    Yes I work. Any error I make at my job, no matter how HUGE, will not take out 90% of the internet near me. If I were to be responsible for that amount of infrastructure, I would expect to be scrutinized by the government.

    I'd also be expecting a meeting with someone very high up. I'm sure I'd be asked about what plan was in place for the situation. Cables being exposed by landslides or heavy rains may be talked about. I would expect this being a danger to the public to come up too.

    On the other side of the fence I'd hope my local MP would make sure that there was no danger to the public in this matter. Did the installation of this cable lead to the landslide due the heavy rain? Could the landslide have been averted? The country has lost 90% of it's internet connection. The old woman is no longer the issue here. A terrorist could have caused this and so forth.

    How does that even follow? If a person can’t imagine how you can get from one point to another, I don’t expect them to come up with all the other points either. Planning for a disaster should have covered landslides, weather and damage. Some old biddy with a spade shouldn’t have been an issue as her efforts should have been covered.


    //proofreading of the above to be done by the gramamer and spellings OCD folk that's’ follow me. See bellow four corretions.
