If someone could figure out how to do software development over freenet (freeCVS anyone?) then the RIAA wouldn't know who or where the developers were.
Bobbies. Calling cops bobbies over here in the US implies little pink dresses and such. Hell, we call GIRLS over here Bobbie.
I remember when I was at school (near a US navy base in Scotland) feeling rather sorry for american kids named Randy and Jessie as they found out that this translated locally as 'horny' and 'sissy'.
There's a theorey that when the cold war ended and the USA was buying back stinger missiles from the Mujahadeen fighters for $200k a piece, they were inadvertently funding the world drug trade.
I would have thought that the sale of drugs funded the international drug trade, but what do I know.
What have they got against smack anyway ?
I just have to say, I listen to Blair's speech a few minutes ago, and I doubt the United States could have any better friend than Britain and Tony Blair himself.
You can have him then, and take that loony Thatcher while you're at it.
This is the explanation I've heard too. The BBC aired a documentary program on it a month or two back. The torpedo motor was somehow started before the torpedo was launched. With the propeller running out of the water the motor ran overspeed and the pressure in the peroxide pipe increased to the point where it burst.
Why do all the ships on Star Trek make one side the 'bottom', they all seem to be designed like wingless aircraft. 'Down' would logically be toward the stern in a weightless environment.
The alien races fared no better. Klingons and Romulans in the OS looked bad-ass and _alien_. In the NG and later, they just looked... hokey.'
None of the aliens in Star Trek ever look remotely alien. They're all late 20thC middle Americans with bumpy foreheads.
Star Trek is good TV (apart from Voyager), but lousy SF.
Fill your bathtub near the top and place a large chunk of ice on the edge so that it's above the water level (like the antarctic ice cap). Now mark the water level and let the tub sit overnight.
Did the ice melt? Did you notice that you had to mop all that water off your bathroom floor.
I haven't tried mozilla 0.9.2 yet, I've been hearing good things about stability, but I haven't gotten around to grabbing it yet, prehaps I should, but I doubt I'll be suprised, it'll probably be a lot more stable than earlier versions, but I doubt they've made it as stable as IE5.5 yet.
0.9.2 is way more stable IMHO than 4.7. Unfortunately it's still REALLY SLOW, so I find myself only using it for pages that don't work with 4.7.
IANAL but judging by the tactics employed the lawyers know they haven't really got a case and are going for a quick FUD assault to score a few grand. So unless we all woke up in the USA this morning then he should tell the lawyers to shove it up their arse.
While I don't claim all consumers to be equally picky about what goes into their ear, the article makes out the consumer to be a mindless minion who is directly controlled by the record labels and their advertising.
This is, for the most part, true. People usually buy the product that has the most money promoting it, and this is as true of music as it is of politics.

When did they start policing the world then ?
Short overview of ekranoplan creation and development

A few seconds (or whatever) in the microwave would prevent that. Enough to fry the chip without marking the surface of the card.
If I was a bank robber I'd probably consider removing the device BEFORE robbing the bank.
OK, does anyone have the source then ?

"Brian's piano" is a contraction of "Brian, his piano." The apostrophe denotes the same in all cases.
I think you've been watching Charmed (yuck) too much.
It's in The Forge of God, where it was dropped into the Earth by alien Von Neumann machines.

Yeah, like that's going to happen.

Why not post them anonymously to usenet then ?
Why, isn't gnome bloated and horrible enough already ?

All the images on section31 say 'STOP! This file is protected.' Well they certainly are, I can't bloody see them.

Turning into a pay site IS closing your doors. It may pay for the bandwidth but how many people will be reading the content ?
