So what? It's your CHOICE to view a site. The ad wasn't sent to you.
I take it you have replied with some simple mechanics of the internet.
You send "GET/" He sends "Heres the page, p.s. display my advert" You say "OK, I'll show the page, but I cant be bothered showing the advert"
If its immoral to not load ads, then is google imorral, or lynx, or people on 9,600bps (mobile phones) that read the page and move on before the images actually load?
Granted there are always exceptions to the rule Video editing, DTP, graphics etc.
However most of the time a new PC has to be an overpowerd box - when was the last time you saw a PII400 arround? The slowest boxes I've seen are durons, at arround 1100mhz.
IF a new employee comes to town, or a machine breaks (or even part of a machine), a new box is needed.
My bank used to love me every month when I walked in with a cheque for ~ $150 (Cost £5 just to cash them). Not much, but not bad for a part time site by a 15 yearold with front page adverts. This was at the time when $4 or $5 cpm wasnt unusual.
Meanwhile, the very act of warning the world, seriously increases the odds that someone else will duplicate your discovery long before your time is up.
Very well, I have just recently discovered the secret to faster then light travel. I will reveal this secret on October 18th 2003 at 12:00 GMT.
Last time I checked, an ounce was 1/16th of a pound, which was 1/14th of a stone, and there were 2.2 kilos to a stone.
Easy.
So how can you measure volume in units of mass?
volume 1 pint = 568ml 4.5 litres to a gallon 8 pints to a gallon my car does 55miles per gallon
I dont buy 300 grammes of beer or whatever, I buy a pint (UK), or, slightly smaller, 500ml (europe). I buy a pound of bannanas, or 450 grames, not 4 cubic feet.
p.s. If your bladder cant handle 5 pints you're usless.
Well screw you. If you dont want people visiting a website, dont put it on the internet, or at least shield it by having a seperate authentication server.
The Sims IS basically watching other people live their lives
I saw someone playing the sims once, I thought it was fitting people in a room and removing the doors, watching them urinate over themselves, trapping people in swimming pools with no ladders and setting people on fire.
LEt me tell you a story about reality tv.
Sunday afternoon, I was flicking through some tv channels. One channel had some fat woman sprawled out asleep on a bed. Carried on flicking. 5 minutes later I fliicked back, the same woman was lieing fast asleep on the bed. Intrigued I kept it on for 5 minutes. Nothing else happend.
This is reality TV ladies and gentleman.
Needless to say I got my futurama dvd's out and watched a couple of eps.

"the new ID numbers -- for each of Japan's 126 million citizens...." Three paragraphs later: "About four million of Japan's 127 million people...."
This actually makes sence. While you were reading, another person was born in japan, and the population increased from 126,499,999 to 126,500,000. Obviously to 3 significant figures theres a major change.
And three hundred dollars for something that automates dialling a number?
I've got a few friends with phones that do this. They got the phone free with their 12 month contract, and have voice dial for upto 10 numbers. No fancy recognition, just record your voice.

The preceeding argument should have been reducto ad absurdum. By reading the above comment, you agree to not post any flames.

Fuck you, you are a retard.

Leak your information to society's lowest common denominator
Interesting idea, how would politicians take it?

3 pints over the course of an hour is impressive? It's true what they say about yanks
I got season 1 about 6 months ago. Of course, thats region 2 (although I think my player is multi region)
Streetsonline
one shot a minute for 60 minutes
Hmm, in the UK 1 "shot" is 25ml. 23 shots is a pint. 60 shots of 40% whiskey, thats just nasty, and probably lethal

I don't think I can curl up with an I-Paq and get any studying done
I'm at exeter university, UK, I cant get any studying done either, and we do have books!
Well maybe they were talking about the population as they wrote the article?

So while you've steamed up the bathroom air but good, you immediately discard it, and replace it with nice, dusty room air?
But do it for long enough and you steam all the air worldwide!
rinse repeat
I dont advise rinsing the new one. You could try the old one for fun, but dunking your new laptop in water?
Yes, and what do you do when you get to the end of the moving sidewalk; get thrown off the platform at 20 MPH?
Move onto a 15mph one

You agree to this EULA but you may not read it.
IIRC gravity is normal at 800, so 10,000 is 12.5g's, you'd way a tonne, and would collapse under your own weight.
Or in normal terms, its less risk and more gain then buying a lottery ticket
