    Don't be too hard on him, he doesn't even know the difference between "your" and "you're".

    You can actually see that while in the 1960ies there were over 2000 executions every year, in the 1980ies there were usually less than 500 a year.

    And since the USA also has the death penalty, how many executions where happening over there during that time? And of those, how many were in Texas alone?

    Really, you're pronouncing everything? How does the two "L" in really and the two "T" in letters sound like?

  5. Facebook didn't sell me anything on How Facebook Sold You Krill Oil · · Score: 4, Informative

    When Facebook says they have 1.3 billion users worldwide, do they count inactive accounts such as mine, which I had to create to make sure nobody else could create a fake account about me and fill it with slander?

    Wrong. The noodley appendage is a make-believe idea put in our heads by the Invisible Pink Unicorn to test our faith in her.

    Put a t-Rex into a forest with a pride of hungry lions. How long do you think the Rex would last?

    If it really were "For the People" they wouldn't need a law to be able to switch carrier in the first place.

    Are you saying that the CRTC, which is filled with people who used to be telecom fat cats, is protecting their former employers? Inconceivable!

  16. Re:Canada. on French Provider Free Could Buy US Branch of T-Mobile · · Score: 2

    Free provides two simple low cost offers – a Euro 19.99 per month plan (including 3GB mobile data & unlimited calls & SMS) and a Euro 2 per month plan (including 50MB mobile data & 2 hours of calls a day & unlimited SMS).

    According to Google the current exchange rate means 2 Euros equals 2.93 Canadian Dollars.

    Two hours of call per day, unlimited SMS and 50MB of data per month for around 3$CAD? The other carriers will have a fucking stroke if a competitor ever offered that.

    Hell, even if you cut that to one hour of call per day and remove both the SMS and data it's still a lot cheaper than anything currently available, pre-paid or not.

    The members of the House of Lords were defined by the fact that they were appointed by the monarch on the advice of the Prime Minister.

    Dennis: Listen, strangely dressed men sitting in old buildings distributing titles is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical fourteenth-century ceremony. If I went around saying I was Emperor, just because some old guy threw a piece of paper with a title at me, they'd put me away.
