Because milk is white, like paint, which is measured by the gallon, and soda is for young people in fast cars, whose engines are measured in litres, obviously.
Also, when will we start to refer to hats using metric units? A 40-litre hat sounds much bigger than a 10-gallon hat, doesn't it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy_hat
I mean, shooting *at* a target, not shots *of* Tequila, and certainly not both at the same time, or I'd be out of there *like* a shot. Now I've shot my mouth off.
No, I think you may be mistaken: TFA says that Vodaphone was the company involved with handing over information to the govt.
"...a Vodafone official in 2009 confessed that the company was legally required to give up data on a group of Egyptian dissidents in 2008 who had pulled down a large poster of president Hosni Mubarak. Last week the company said that it had been forced by the Egyptian government to use its network to send out propaganda text messages to users. "
What you say is true, but there are orders of magnitude in the difference between clock- and processing-time delays for the AdBlock evaluation compared to the clock- and processing-time of ad-page fetches.
If there are no ads, then I'd agree there is an additional delay caused by the AdBlock processing. One or more ads, however, and the clock-time saved is orders of magnitude greater by blocking the fetch.
I believe that most general-purpose internet sites have ads to display (this site, for instance), hence my contention.

The ordinance almost certainly refers to diesel-engine jake brakes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_brake , which are usually very noisy when applied.
What a rip-off!
Here's a warning:
If you have the throttle wide open while in neutral while driving up a hill, you will go nowhere and probably damage your car.

I think you'll find that we are all made of stars, too, so drinking water is not the only recycled compound to (re-)enter our precious bodily fluids.
>thereby creating a Chinese Tea Party
Strangely enough, it could also be called the Green Tea Party, I suppose.
The best we could manage was to suck on a piece of damp cloth.
No, it has a good shot *at* overtaking ... surely?

I wish they'd change the message at the bottom of each article to say 'Not Working', to get the facts straight.

He should have eschewed the Shuffle, then.
When did we decide that higher version numbers are better?
That would be after trying Version 1.0, I expect...;-)

at least, we hope not (yet).

No, wrong, it's a sport.
Not everything can or has to be proven with research.

Yes. That is how you should make informed decisions on everything

I'd say it looks pretty out of control.

Hm, with advancing years and dealing with four sons, I rather resemble that remark...

Hm, he could have said "Russian airport bombed. Looks so much like WW2", which could lead to the banning of all kinds of popular video games.
