It seems he's trolling for "Terry", I'm sure his post is just a trojan horse for bringing that message. And it has to be a first post so that eeeverybody sees it and don't forget it (how can we, when no one stops talking about it -- heh I'm guilty of the same crime).
Funny that he can't even spell the name of the person he's trying to "save" right, though he's not the only one.
Such foul thoughts and mouth, didn't years of Sunday-Schooling teach you anything?!? For shame.. what Church do you go to? I don't think you'll end up in heaven with the way you think about your fellow men, or do you consider "godless" liberals to be below you?
On top of that, you're AC, which is typical, spineless.
Well, I'm sure if the laws allowed it, she'd rather be given a death pill. That's when she's still alive, she's not capable of thought now, and such pills are not allowed, so letting her body stop functioning due to dehydration is just as good.
I personally can't wait to hear the news when she's finally dead, because that means she'll finally be in peace - as per her wish - and I can then laugh at the moronic pro-lifers.
My recent experience with a near miss can be read here.
Maaaan, what a bitch, you should've done something to make sure she doesn't forget about the incident, because the way she arrogantly sounds, she doesn't think it's her fault, she'll keep driving the way she drive and next time it might really injure someone. You said you had your camera, you should've taken her picture and her car's, and say "This is going on the internet.". That would've pissed her off.:p
As you can see, I'm not that good when dealing with people.

I thought this announcement means Nokia is going to bundle the full version of the Opera browser in their phones, at the same time paying Opera to use the technology. I know one case where the phone comes bundled with the browser, with both Nokia and Opera advertising it proudly.
I only realized today that they're both Finnish companies, so no wonder they're keen to cooperate. Of course the browser itself is IMO reason enough for Nokia to want them, it has tons of features and it's very lightweight, even their desktop version of the browser.
Ummm.. I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you there.. AM and PM is from Latin, and they're short for "Ante-Meridiem" and "Post-Meridiem" respectively.
"Ante-Meridiem" means before midday and "Post-Meridiem" means after midday. Midday itself isn't before or after midday, so 12:00 PM is wrong. Of course an intifisemal fraction of a second after 12:00 midday is already PM, so people wrongly say 12:00 midday is 12:00 PM.
The same for 12:00 midnight, it's exactly 12 hours after midday and 12 hours before the next midday, so it's both before and after, and that's why it can't be labelled with one of them.
They're not quite accurate. An anecdote, a friend of mine loses his phone. He goes to his provider's website and uses the online locator tool. The tool says it's in the middle of a forest. So we go into the forest looking for the phone (luckily it was near a small road). Didn't find it. The next day, he says, "Oh, the phone was in my laundry basket". Looking at the website again we notice the text "Accuracy: 100-200 meters." The forest was about 200 meters from his house.:)
Cannes is in France anyway, and the French suck because they didn't want to send their troops to die to save the world from WMD! I propose we make our own film festival, the Freedom Films Festival! Where we can show movies like the dramatic rescue of Jessica Lynch, or...
BMWs and Benzes have prestige written all over them, but somehow the only brand (I think) that has gained prestige in the computer industry is Apple. I guess it's the way you market your products - be elitist and enjoy the niche market of artsy-types or be a commoner to sell your products to the majority of the market.
LOL, nice touch with the sad smiley at the end of your post, made me laugh. The next thought I had was, does Wal*Mart really sell them? Don't they play moral cop for their customers? (No nudie-mags, no offensive music?)
Someone else mentioned it before, WWWinamp is a web-based front-end to Winamp. Better than VNC, because it doesn't need that much bandwidth, and it'll work better on a WLAN-enabled pocket device as well.
Hmm, someone should tell him to tackle the paranormal beliefs of the current US president ("we're winning the war in Iraq!", "no I didn't go AWOL during Vietnam!"), no one else seems to have been able to get the public to listen to their fact-proven arguments against bush.
Happens all the time, it's called getting fired. Of course he'll still have to pay for the days/weeks/months you worked.
A better analogy would be me not buying at Dunkin Donuts because it was 8:05 AM and the lazy bastard who's supposed to open at 8:00 thinks he can tell his customers to wait while he lazily gets the storeready.
Well, at least that'll put them a step closer to the US who's already spying on everyone, because you see son, the US managed to put themselves as the asshole of the world, but from the asshole's point of view, the others are the dumb idiots.
In that note, if the poster wants to study in USA, he'll have to deal with the fascist regime, and that could just really suck. The airport screeners can't tell the difference between Arabs and Indians, so be prepared for a lot of hassle and lots of sneering from old white folks who go around with bibles in their hands praising their almighty Lord for protecting them from terrorists!
Well, Britney's been getting into all sorts of trouble: the flash marriage, the fake marriage she set-up to fool the press, the real marriage happening a few weeks before the fake one. I think she's beginning to lose her popularity so she's trying to shock everyone to keep their attention on her, and apparently it's working. Here's hoping there'll be a Betty Ford involved the next time she shoots up to number one in Google.
Well, finding some of the stolen bikes should be easy. as the article says, the dispatch has a database of where each bike is supposed to be, e.g. bike 0001 is in station X, because the customer tells them where they've been parked. But if one of the hackers unlock the bike from X and takes it to station Y, and then an ordinary user calls up and says "I'm at station Y, I'd like to use the bike 0001, can I have its code please?", the dispatch would see the conflict -- Database says the bike's at station X, but caller says it's at station Y -- and they would know the bike's been moved illegally.
Of course if the customer just says "I'm at station Y, can you give me a bike (tell me the number) and what is the code for it?", the dispatch wouldn't give the customer bike 0001, because 0001 isn't at Y in the DB. OTOH, if they're at X, and dispatch says "take 0001" and customer says "but there's no 0001" here, that's also a hint of trouble there.
Then again, if a hacker just takes a bike from home (X) to go to work (Y) and back again (X) everyday, there's very little chance of him getting caught.
Also, I wonder if they can use the DB inconsistencies to triangulate where the hacker might be located, because I assume they'd just take bikes from stations near their place of operation. Although of course hacked bikes can show up all over the place after being used by many people, so, well, interesting mind-exercise there.

What, in contrast to a dolt going to war only to be greeted with this?
And talk about tax-paying, that's your tax money going in flames down there.
Wow, that sure brings back memories, I used to have this program back in Windows 3.1 days (or was it even DOS?), with the cool big-eyed frog!
Nowadays I use IrfanView though, which can also save as ICO.. to create the image itself I use Paint Shop Pro..
