Well if you do install a baby and stay up all night with it, you're not usually playing with it and it makes you tired, grumpy and irritated the next day. But you will show it to all your friends and family:-)
OK, VAT is 17.5%, but in most states you have a sales tax, which albeit lower (I believe between 5% and 11%) is the equivalent tax.
A cheap telly will cost you £50 - £100 a semi-decent telly will cost you £200 - £300. A good telly will be £500 - £1000, and I've seen a lovely 43" Plasma telly for £4500. (all prices include VAT)
Which are not the teachings of Christ. Note that the only one which is New Testament - Ephesians - doesn't actually tell you to kill anyone, it just says that if you're bad you won't go to heaven.
Is NOT to move terrorism up to first priority at the G8 conference. It's to continue as if nothing had happened. Stiff upper lip and all that.
Africa is still there, people are still dying through poverty. Global Warming is still here and still happening. We just need to continue exactly as we were before.
Don't know if you've seen the Carry on Films, but Carry on up the Khyber has a good scene where the Brits are having dinner while being shelled and shot at. That's the sort of response I'd like to see.
It's like buying a ford advertised has having the power of a V6, and then finding out that the way ford made it was by turning off two cylinders of a V8.
You still have a V6 - it's just been implemented as a { V8 - 2 } rather than a { V6 } itself - but the end result is the same.
As for your lawsuit statement regarding appleshare clients - complete nonsense. You can't sue someone for not providing something that you weren't entitled to.
OK, you say a statement ("proved Fermat's Last Theorem") which in context ("He claimed to have") you give the impression that you think it's false,
then you tie an additional statement ("he also believes that 0.999 recurring is less than 1") which implies that you believe that the second statement is false.
Now I don't get this. 0.999 recurring IS less than 1. It never reaches 1. As the number of digits goes to infinity it approaches 1, but it never gets there. It is always less than 1.
Have to bite here, if I modified GPL code (such as the Linux kernel) for my own purposes, and only ran it myself, then everyone else can go spin if they want my changes.
I don't have to release source if I don't release binaries. If you wanted the same modifications done, then either a) do it yourself or b) persuade me to release it.
However you wouldn't necessarily know that I had made the necessary changes...
My dictionary disagrees with you, but since I suspect that you're a citizen of the USA I won't castigate you - since I believe that everybody should be allowed to spell things the way they want.

Strictly speaking Bank, Royal Bank and Clydesdale bank notes are not legal tender in Scotland either. They are just accepted as currency.
The only "legal tender" in Scotland is the £1 coin, however Scottish law says that you cannot reasonably refuse an offer to settle a debt, so the concept of legal tender is not really required.
I'm sorry, your statements make no sense to me. LDAP is Linux's ultimate ability? It's only a protocol to access directory servers for goodness sake.
Only the greatest of Linux users can use LDAP? Give me a break - it's not hard. You have a hierarchical structure that links names to values (or objects if you want to use LDAP as your backing store for JNDI). It's easier that using a relational database for goodness sake.
Strictly speaking the Earth Moon Center of gravity lies in between them, but is contained within the earth, which to me would indicate the "dominant" partner.
You can't protect a company from the call of the dollar. A company exists for one reason only - to make money. Again - the only reason it exists is to make money. Shareholders can take directors to court because the didn't maximise company value by, for instance, screwing open source developers when they could have done.
Once a year? For a game as great as Colonization? I play it once or twice a month! And when I got VDMSound installed I got the music back - my favourite is when you find the fountain of youth.
I only play Alpha Centauri about once every four months or so. I don't like it when the natives get restless towards the end of the game.

At least they were the last time I got one, you just said, "Yes I'd like one" and they gave it to you. No form, nothing.
They took the discounts and stuff off when it was swiped through the next time - don't know if that's changed or anything.
And YOU don't know me at all.

What about all those "buy one get one free" offers I see at my local supermarket then?
No it's not false advertising at all.

I've got tinnitus, Even when it's completely silent I hear a high pitched whine - because of that, computer hum doesn't bother me in the slightest...
Actually, the Java you wrote actually comes out as:
s1 is NOT s2
s1 DOESN'T equal s2
Because your String literals differ - once has a capital "T".
If you Change the string literals to be identical you get:
s1 IS s2
s1 EQUALS s2
Because if course, strings are immutable in Java and text strings that are identical are given the same piece of memeory.
If however you do the following:
String s1 = "This is a string";
String s2 = new String(s1);
Then you get:
s1 is NOT s2
s1 EQUALS s2
Which is I think what you wanted.

Does anyone know a way of turning it off, so I can completely terraform the planet and then get round to killing all the other players?
