I just had to look to find out what my number was and my account still exists... although it thinks that I live in England and I left there 5 years ago. Way to keep a full userbase...
I have Yahoo and random people come onto my account all the time saying "Hi, check out this site"... I have to work out why they always have a string of random letters whited out but it helps me spot them.
and at the other end of the spectrum, I am living in Azerbaijan and the internet goes down most days for at least long enough to knock out my VPN. I dream of having an unreliable system like they have in the US...
or maybe when such a thing happens the US subjects will see what a load of BS this whole thing is. So you have fingerprints taken in Minnesota and a lot of dead people in France or England... great. Those fingerprints will not keep the plane in the sky and as the terrorist is going to die he does not worry about another piece of information about him. We already have his passport details (as in September 2001) so what good is having his fingerprints as well? If we cannot stop him despite knowing who he is (as in September 2001) what are we going to do with these fingerprints?
The UK's CCTV growth is as good as the US's war on terror. It does nothing to solve the problem but it does make the plebs feel warm and fuzzy in their beds at night. I used to work with both UK spooks and US spooks and for any given incident the FBI were always able to pull more CCTV footage from 'civilian' sources than Scotland Yard could get from the local councils that ran the CCTV in the UK.
I do not have a problem with cameras watching what I do in the street. How could I worry about privacy in a public place? It is all the other stuff that is far more of a problem and the US is far better at listening to your cell phone/internet etc. than the UK as the UK always farm such things out to useless bureaucrats. In the US they let the MAFIAA etc. take control. That is why the CCTV cameras in the UK are a waste of electricity, or rather they are not as most of them are not turned on.
So when is the EU finally going to request fingerprints and private data from US travelers?
Why would they want it? So the US wants to horde lots of personal data that serves no other purpose other than to violate basic human rights, why should any one else want to be as stupid? It will waste money keeping and attempting to process this data to no worthwhile end except the jobs that it will create for the friends of those that pass these stupid laws.
It makes us all feel warm and fuzzy at night, knowing that the good old USSA have got the world police looking after us.
Rubbish, our honorable God, GW, has told us that all hackers, pirates and masturbaters are terrorists and must die. This boy is obviously associated with Al Qiada.
I used to have a Hotmail account before Microsoft took over and it was reliable then. Then M$ took over and and switched from Sparcs to NT and you never knew if it was going to work or not. It went downhill and as I also had a Yahoo account I started switching stuff to that. After working abroad for a couple of months I came back and found that my Hotmail account had been cancelled. I had only been away for a couple of months, not 3 but the Yahoo account was still working so I just forgot about Hotmail. It was good in the day but that day past.
As an outsider, Clinton is remembered with a lot more fondness than the average US citizen thinks of him. When he went out on the world stage, he performed well, it is just at home that people focused on his sex life.... In the UK he is remembered for his part in ending terrorism...
On the other hand, the current moron is seen differently. He will long be remembered for the way he has fuelled terrorism and made this planet an unsafe place to live.
And the Israelis bomb some Palestinian village or Lebanese village and refuse to stop killing, that is also terrorism. There is no demand, just dead bodies in revenge for the ones on the other side of the border. So the Palestinians do exactly the same and the Israelis do exactly the same again...
And now we are doing it again in Iraq and Afghanistan... when we indiscriminately bomb a town in Iraq saying that there are insurgents there, how are we any different? We kill lots of innocent people in the hope that the indiscriminate killing will make the people that do not agree with us invading their country stop fighting back...
Many plans in the EU have tons of free minutes and I have never heard of one that did not roll over unused minutes. I think that the US is the only place that charges for incoming calls. But yes, most Europeans have lots of reason to call abroad.
SMS became a craze for school kids who are on a very low budget and use their dads old phone on PAYG. It normally costs them about $20 to get their dads last years phone unlocked or they can use it on the same network with PAYG. It is only locked to a network, not to a user.
I have been M$ free for many years. I used to run Linux on my desktop but now, because I move from country to country a lot, I switched to a laptop and chose a MacBook Pro. I have no problems in staying M$ free but I think I will stick with OSX in the future rather than return to Linux. I can still do all the Linux stuff, including RTS games etc. that people say do not exist (although I prefer games like Civ and Neverwinter Nights). I can also get all my work done without trouble.
The reason why they are not supposed to take up references until after an offer is because you might not have told your boss you are looking until after you have a job to go to. It might ruin your job prospects of your boss finds out you are job hunting.
Fascism is a government, faction, movement, or political philosophy that raises nationalism, and frequently race, above the individual and is characterized by a centralized autocratic state governed by a dictatorial head, stringent organization of the economy and society, and aggressive repression of opposition. In addition to placing the interests of the individual as subordinate to that of the nation or race, fascism seeks to achieve a national rebirth by promoting cults of unity, energy and purity [1]
Yep. Partly. Sorry, is this the Bush administration that we are discussin?

No change there then...

How would anyone dumb enough to be using Hotmail full version know what Firefox 3 is ???
Gmail = best,
Yahoo = hmmm, OK
Hotmail = is it working today?
Is it April 1 st again already or has everyone forgotten the basics?
Did anyone actually look at the car? It is probably a Flintstones propulsion design...
It should be noted that this is "A Quantum Leap". Quantum particles are extremely small particles so this obviously refers to a very small change.

It was very convenient that the terrorists passport survived the fireball that the flight recorders did not survive. Nothing odd at all...

And the fact that they were not on the passenger list was obviously just an oversight...
I must be a crackpot
