Make sure you have "paddle-the-loser" as an option. My dad told me he got bent over the bar, pants pulled down, and paddled by 30 guys for his 21st birthday while in the Army. They weren't gentle, BTW.;)
I remember a few years ago... we were playing DnD in a friends house... his sister dropped round (to grab a dvd) with two of her friends, or rather her boy friend and his friend. they reaslised we were playing DnD and I made some joke about it. every one laughed, then I made another referance... I think it was some sort of Prof. Frink from the simpsons kind of laugh or some thing... and the two guys (who where there to borrow DVDs from us) sniggered... right up till then every one was having a laugh and it was funny... right after that I was ready to kick them out of the house... I was really insulted... more so than I would have been fine if they'd laughed... it was the sniggering that did it. I guess it's the difference between laughing at and laughing with. The first joke was, us the RPers taking the piss. and it was funny. The second was them thinking "sad losers, nerds."
Argh it makes me so mad I could spit... I blame you Slashdot!
cdrudgeExcept for the fact that if/when you get sued and fork over your $3,000, your out the money AND the songs. When you buy them legally, you are only out the money.
um... restore from back up... you do have back-ups right? this is slashdot. you back up every day, or at least once a week, right?
I've heard of ADSL equiped caskets... Where do they get these peoples names? how come I keep hearing about them getting the wrong people over and over again. could her Family should counter claim?
some words are buzz words, some words are slang, some words never die. I'm not saying google will live for ever in the words of any person who needs to look for some thing on the net but it's use is heavy, people dont use the word search any more, people just say "google this." or "google for that." people jsut learning to use computers are told to "google for things", not go to google and search for it. this will stick.
cool is still cool. a hot girl is still hot. Google means to search on the net. even if this slids of use people will know what you mean when you say it. only if a better search engine comes along with good name, will google it change to "Snarf it" or what ever... even then people saying that will only do so if what ever search engine takes over really quick... in fact I've never heard any one say turbo10 it. I think you'll hear people saying "google for it on MSN" before you hear people say Msn for it
I know some people dont like them but googles label system is much better than folders when you get used to them. you can add more than one label effctivly putting them in more than one folder... with out having to have multiple copys of one mail on your account. label mail, archive everying thing once you've read it. that gets it out of the main inbox but you can still get it through "all mail" or it's label. I was upset when a co-worker complained that he could'nt delete mail.:S which of course you can. but he wanted to delete one mail in a thread and no others... and never bothered clicking on more options... this was his main reason for not liking gmail...:(
I've started getting spam though, not much but who knows whats next...
Never worry about anthropomorphising a little... yes... cows get happy when they eat nice food. cats get happy when you pet them. mice get depressed, and can feel pain.
When I see a scientist who says animals dont have emotions I get upset. We are animals, we have emotions that evolved over time... at what point did they change from non-emotions to emotions? I remember seeing a studdy to see if mice felt pain... thats just dumb.
I've seen people claim that pet animals dont have emotions, that they are just displaying emotion like states, as it increases the chance of putting food in their dishes, argh Idiots.
These mice, with human type brains... will they be smarter than normal mice? maybe... will they be as smart as people. no. will they feel pain when you cut open their heads to see if they have wrinkly human like brains, yes, unless you give them painkillers...
Lets pretend that we make some super mice. They have human type wrinkled brains, they are smarter than normal mice... and can lets say learn to follow simple voice commands, count, do some very basic math. We know that normal mice have emotions, so these mice do too. at what point would you say these mice are smart enough to be given human rights? ok because of there size they'll never be as smart as us. but a larger animal might...say if we make a super smart otter. as smart as a small child. selfaware. does that otter qualify for human rights? just animal rights? some where between? no rights because it was made in a lab by some one?
If I have rights because I'm selfaware and human, but my otter friend does not because although he's as smart a small child he's not human what happens when we encounter / create some thing that is as smart as us?
Take a look at the second artical on this page... about wrinkled mouse brains http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/200211 16/bob8. asp
what a crazy waffly post... any thing to avoid actual work. Kiffer.
And it really would re-assure those non-tech users.
non-tech users dont no about code signing. why else would they download unsigned things and run them on their PC?
that said I'm sure it would re-assure people once it was pointed out to them that it was signed... in a oh you have the internet on computers now kind of way... tell them it passed the MD5 test and they'll be just as happy... happy like children dreaming of Santa.
sigh... how is my last modded troll... it makes no sense. let me rephrase said post.
you cant jam calls with out jamming emergency calls, i think its just to stop people whining about not being able to set up a jammer in there place of bussiness. If they can block calls with out blocking 112 / emergency calls then they can have a jammer... otherwise they should shut the hell up.
you cant...

In fairness the guy who was 419ing from my Cafe was Nigrian and I just use the word as an expleative now. He also had a simmilar acsent... no laptop though.
I also work in a Cybercafe and Callshop in Dublin... Last year I noticed that someone was using our fax machine to send and reseive 419s... we copied and collected the faxes for a while and rang the Gardai and told them what was going on... we had film of him comming in to send faxes and recieving faxes from people which went along the lines of
Dear Sir, we have resieved your money but need more to bribe people in Bank of Ireland / AIB / cant remmember which bank they where making up.
and getting replys with letters of Attorney for the transpher of money and such...
the Gardai came took the faxes and some photos from our security system... but said there was nothing they could do... I still see the guy around... not so many faxes though...
At the time my boss rang the poor person in america that was getting scammed... who refused to beleive that it was a scam.. and insisted that it could'nt be and that they where going to get their money... they had to... they'ed risked there whole buisseness on it and had sent over $100,000 to the scammers...:(
we had so much dirt on that nigerian guy it's crazy that he's still wandering round free...
I'm still waiting for Elemement 114. if Xcom is right it will allow us to finaly attack the base on mars and push back the alien threat.
it's posible that there are some more natural elemements to be found as there is an expected island of stabilty, having said that that could mean that they are so stable that they last.2 seconds which would be very stable as many of the unnatural elemements last the mearest fraction of a second.
I'd think this would fall under abandoned property. They didn't want it anymore and someone came and picked it up.
what about theft by finding? or is that not counted as a crime where you are? it's not a crime that jumps to mind. i know but its still a crime here. If I loose $100 in my house when I move out and you move in, if you keep it, you stole it. If you find it in the street and keep it, you stole it. keeping that which is lost but not abbandoned is stealing, but how do you tell the differance? In this case I'd say it was abbandoned, but I forgot to renew my domain and someone snapped it up and read my mail... that would be stealing... both of the domain and of the mail.
often its a hard call, is something abbandoned or lost... normaly I presume money is lost and cheap things a abbandoned this makes things easyer... if any one asks about the things I hand them over... if no one comes looking then they where abbandoned... sort of works with money to but its harder to justify.
The end of the world will not be televised./BLOCKQUOTE
Why not? every thing is shown on TV live any way... it all depends on what form the end takes... unless it destoyes everything instantly then people further away from the source we'l watch it on tv... ***Live*** the Thrid seal has just opened and... oh oh lost another camera... switch to cam 3....

Actualy, you'll have to mention your brand of beer as walking in to a Bar and say in I'll have a beer/pint please will be followed by some one asking of what...
and as for the Christianity brand(tm) as long as you arn't a shite about it no one else will be.
reminds me of a Grrl from canada last year who informed me that she hated catholics... which might not be a good thing to say...
most people wont ask you, so it's not likly to come up. it's a non-issue.
