There are plenty of able bodied MP's who make completely stupid decisions. Think about all the millenium projects or the poll tax. Think about Tony Blair supporting Dubbya's war against saddam (those protests were truely massive).
There is a party for people like you. Were you can victimise people because they are a little different to you. Its called the British Nat^W National Party.
Allow the cinemas to install their own Pico Cells in the theatres and jam the outside cells. The pico cell should connect them to the cinema's own mobile operator and charge them 20$ per minute.
They'll think twice next time they get their bill, inconsideratle little twerps;)
I've heard this said before but I don't completely believe it.
The servo assistance for the brakes runs off the intake vacuum (At least in my car) so providing I didn't dip the clutch or put it in neutral I should be O.K. Of course even without assistance you can still brake. You have to stand on the peddle, but you can still brake.
My car doesn't have power steering (shock horror) but if it did (and you kept the engine spinning by not dipping the clutch / putting it in neutral) then surely the power steering pump would keep on rotating. Also I can't believe than steering would be impossible. Just abn awful lot harder than you are used to.
Of course if you were to completely turn it off you would engage the steering wheel lock.... And this won't work for automatics at all.....
Am I the only one who read this and though of the Pan Galatic Gargle Blaster, which is like being whacked round the head with a gold brick wrapped in a slice of Lemon? or am I just weird?
Well obviously they would be the first against the wall. But don't forget they require a truely massive amount of power and that the power grids get damaged in war. There is only so much oil you can store to run the backup generators....
Its's more likely they run on the principle of if transmitting then all is well. What might happen if they had stopped transmitting is scary....
Also remember that the data rate is very very slow. They probably only transmit a command to come towards the surface and initiate another form of communicion.
Perhaps I was not to clear on this one. I mean premium dial up data service. I don't have a problem with voice calls to premium numbers, which as you state have legitimate uses (e.g. travel information) though it would be nice to have a mandatory welcome to xyz, calls charged at xyz at the start of the call.
Many are a complete rip off of course and there is plenty of adult content, which is pretty nasty and anyone (child) can call. (As an aside, I don't see parents monitoring childrens phone calls, when they could be calling some really nasty, personalised, stuff)
Well yes considering these are used to hide your tracks. Its got to be a lot less embarrassing to have 0989 012345678 Premium rate number on your phone bill than Big Tits Adult Entertainment on your bank statement. Specially if your significant other gets to see your bills.
Why not just ban all premium rate dial up sites. They are just breeding grounds for porn sites and scams. I've yet to see a legitimate use for them. We could do without them.
If you want to charge for a service get the customer to enter their credit card details / set up an account. If you think they would be unwilling, then that speaks volumes about your business.
Wow you've got 3G coverage! Quick prediction, surf Slashdot using that for any period of time and you'll be very broke.
I don't know what they are charging you for data but if they are in line with GPRS charges in the UK (about 3 pounds a Megabyte) you'll be very sorry about using that on the real Internet (as apposed to skinny Wap pages.)
Is anybody else here annoyed by the features that only work in the U.S. The VID thing doesn't seem to work with British VIN's, Froogle is a non starter, UK postcodes do not link to a map etc.....
Don't get me wrong, I love googles simple yet powerful interface and its search results are the best.
Look here For a video covering the decommisioning of a small experimental Oxford reactor. Very Very scary (especially pushing graphite blocks into a shredder with no more protection than blue gloves!

No, it's not blindist, it's ignorant.

Nukes don't kill people, people do.
Oh thanks, now how am I suppost to get my Orange Wednesday's 2 for 1 cinema ticket.
Your on to something, but you're not quite there.

Completely dead. Everything broken:
Use it as a door stop.

Yup, I've seen it.
It was also featured on Slashdot a while back, but I'm too lazy to search for the article.

But all this is speculation.
Well yes, but you knew what I meant.

What kind of a geek are you. Just ram a coathanger in the end of the snapped off bit. Works great.
Coming soon in a fan created verson, Jar Jar gets shot first.

I estimate that at about this point all the jokes about estimating will get tedious
Erm the point is that this one works at room temperature.
Nothing, but is is the Winged Messenger in itself.
It happens, This link is the only I could find with a quick search (but its not Bristol)

No, your next project will be to personally insult every person in the universe
Er sorry, my fault, I tried to download the huge map ;)

Well the Scantily Clued Organisation probably believes Santa delivered Elves to them down their chimney stack.
