Mashiki,
LOL @ Canada and the Queen suspending parliament in your country or whatever providence she has power over. Should we just rename Canada to "Western United Kingdom"?
For you tea sipping, hat wearing at royal weddings, Queen worshipping Brits - nappy means that your hair looks really bad. Probably why you Brits wore hats during the wedding
The Prius randomly accelerates and the Chevy Volt's steering wheel comes off while driving, hopefully before it burns my garage down from it's batteries.
Do like me and I assume everyone else by throwing it in a box and enjoying the thrill of adventure when you are digging through the box to find what you need.
How much would it cost me for a 50 - 100Mbps connection so I can allow my neighbors to download all they want, make it affordable to them at a similar (or cheaper) cost, and have the bill covered?
Can they seize an accused pornographer's house and property like they do a drug dealer? If so, I can see the focus. My local police department doesn't go after street level dealers, only mid and top level ones who have cars, electronics and property for the State to seize.
US officials can seize your domain without a court order while in Iran or China, they would just block you! Remember the massive domain seizure that ended up being wrong?
Are your orders going to be filled at your local Wal-Mart? If so, absolute scary. The people there cannot even tell me where things are at in the store, often leading me around on a wild goose chase with them to find the item I am looking for when I could do that myself.
I'm like 2 months late on my Internet bill (In before "just pay your bill" - hey man, it's the economy..) and they sent my account to a collections agency already. This company ACS Collections has called me 7 times this week, with two times in one day. I looked up my state law regarding the Fair Debt Collection Act and have discovered ACS is violating the terms of how many times they can communicate with me. I called yesterday to ACS Collections about their process of calling me every day, including twice in one day on two days, and the woman "Vanessa" said she was well within her rights!
All of this over $100!
I notified her that I'm filing a claim with my state official about the incident. The civil remedy is $1000 in personal damages, plus my court costs and attorney fees covered. I'll pay that $100 with my judgement and probably prepay about a year's worth of Internet service with this judgement. Thanks Comcast! If there was another viable alternative in my area, I would leave the service but I'm locked in as having Comcast as my Internet provider since my apartment has TV service supplied through them, even though I do not own nor watch a TV, so I got the Internet at a cheaper price.
I'll stick to my setup of a dedicated server and virtual private servers across the globe rather than putting all my eggs in one basket with Amazon and "cloud computing"! It may be a little bit more in terms of operating costs, but it has true failover in the event of an outage!
Since Adobe and Java are widely ignored by the general population because they have hundreds of icons on their system tray. I'm almost to the point of charging $10 extra per customer who ignores these updates.
Severe weather hit the area. They shutdown Surry Power Station in Surry County, Virginia after a tornado took the power out that powers the power station.

What the hell is a nappy? I'll ask Don Imus!

Will this run on my iPad and iPhone?

Everyone knows you can cook up military grade high explosives and/or crystal meth with those chemistry kits.
When is Linux and cloud computing going to be ready for the desktop? Any day now?

Freedom? That's strictly up for debate!

Do you get a commission for making posts like this? ;-)

I've been using Debian since 2.0.36 kernel - definitely like Linux.
Not ready for the desktop ;-)
Going by a news report I saw!
