Blizzard promise that this extension to WC3 will allow the standards body to resolutely approve new web standards well within a year of their being suggested.
the monty pyhton foot will be your clue next time then, no?
No.
if the opposite were true, then NOTHING could be labelled and posted as funny, no?
No.
but more importantly, no one found it important to say "i think this is funny, so everyone has to find this funny!" because everyone generally understands that.
His adventures enthralled thousands. The punctation of his name baffled millions. Whether or not you were able to pronunce the word asterik you knew Q*Bert.
Yeah, it's a tricky one to pronounce, let alone spell. Something tells me they fifn't invest too much effort in this site...
Nice idea, but how do you regulate it? So my spam now says 'in accordance with US SpamTax(tm) Law' instead of 'click here to unsubscribe'. Do I forward all my spam to some agency who then track the spammers down?
The technical solution needs to be developed to support this... and that's going to be tricky. I don't know much about alternatives to SMTP but I do know it's very pervasive... until you can solve the problem of accurately tracking spam mail, taxing it will be impossible.
Point still stands. The poster didn't say that the people currently running the business would more offshore, just that the business would. And it would, the marginal profits would still be there for people outside the US to take advantage of.
Well, it did come out how I meant... I was trying to point out the disparity between the nigger-as-offence paradigm. But as you say, the problem is with the insults in the first place. And that's one we'll never solve while people on both sides of the fence (or any fence) refuse to be objective. And religious people are very severe offenders in this respect.
Do you really not see the difference between insulting people who are black by calling them niggers, and insulting people who are Christian by calling them Christian?
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, after all christianity has a poor track record when it comes to tolerance of non-conformist opinion, but still, I think you actually manage to cast your fellows in an even worse light than they necessarily deserve.
The biggest problem with all these DRM schemes is that the restrictions are pointlessly complex so the consumer can't understand them. The other closely connected problem is not telling the customer about them.
Um, hello? What planet are you from where you can confuse people with things that you don't even need to tell them about? This is exactly the kind of passion-fired stupidity that we really don't need.
Either the DRM is complex. Then people don't understand it. Or it is seamless. Then you don't tell them about it.
Are you saying you don't want either? Because DRM has to happen, it's a fact of life. Personally I'd go for seamless anyday.
I still think the point stands, even if it has a broader target than corporations.
You stand to profit by not dying/having to move/etc. Are you willing to wait one year let alone decades for that hurricane protection? Or shall we take our chances and observe and learn from what happens on the way?
I was just thinking the same thing, but I was thinking about the one in Amsterdam. The coffee shop in question is on the very right hand edge of the photo. Should get good reception...:)

Oh, hang on...
No.
Dude, you appear to have spent 3 minutes of your life thinking up those witty filenames.
Kill yourself.
the monty pyhton foot will be your clue next time then, no?
;-P
No.

No. That doesn't even make sense.
buzz off, humorless twits
Um... No.
From the first paragraph of the article:

an excellent analogy for making the exact opposite point you're trying to make.
McDonald's sell burgers for $99 because they're mass produced turgid crap, much like the RIAA's marketing-driven sewage.
Buying a burger, bun and cheese from a supermarket and making that burger yourself costs.... oh, about the same.
But McDonalds can still turn a profit by exploiting economies of scale, something that the recording labels should perhaps look into.
Lots of people pay for collage. Art isn't free you know.
...It could just as easily be a device designed to screw with the navigation systems... ...Or even one designed to look like it's off when it's not!
We're screwed.

Never heard it called that before.

Well done.
So if I stop you stealing from my shop by grabbing your hand I'm taking the law into my own hands? Aha. Sure.

You're dissing the woman we all fancied before we even knew what fancying was. Leave it out mate.
Tomorrow's World was good. It taught me about cool new things like the internet.
But now we don't need it, because we have cool new things like the internet.
