    Oh calm down for fuck's sake. You're as bad as the idiot you're responding to.

    If it's under warranty, call Apple and they'll send you a feet replacement kit. Called at 1PM and it was on my doorstep when I got home from work the next day... a little box containing eight feet and a small tube of crazy glue (loctite).

    Correction: currently 7 turbines, plans for 200.

  4. The Arklow Bank on World's Largest Wind Turbine · · Score: 1

    There's a newly-opened farm of 200 3.6MW turbines, running for 24 miles, 5 miles off the coast of Wicklow in Ireland... it's called the Arklow Bank and is quite interesting...

    Too funny!!! But it's not a "preservative" Teun, in English it's called a "condom".

    In this context, it means "Service Oriented Architecture".

    Correct, I am Irish (not Irish American), living in the USA however. The sarcasm detection failure was caused by a bottle of Merlot drunk too quickly.

    wheover loses the election will use that to turn the nation to civil war again. No one cheated in the last election, it was just a close call
    No mention of the 19th century, and you are now posting A.C. I'll assume you're not the original poster.

    What ulterior motives? Really... and the USA is a member of the OSCE, by the way.

  13. Re:What went wrong with the last election.. on Europeans To Monitor American Voters · · Score: 1

    You thought that was civil war (2000)? Poor fellow. I hope you never experience the real deal, it isn't pleasant at all. The post-2000 election fiasco here was a walk in the park, by comparison.

  14. Re:CNN has more on Europeans To Monitor American Voters · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yikers! Me too. Shame on me, a pathetic paddy, for suggesting that what's good for the goose is also good for the gander. Jesus, I'll never bother pointing flaws in the system out to my American friends again. Apparently, election systems in western Europe are fair game, but to suggest that anything dodgy could happen here is just... un-American! (but I'm not American!)

  17. Re:A small question of freedom... on Ireland Cracks Down on Online Scammers · · Score: 1

    Population of the Republic of Ireland is just over 4 million. Number of phone lines, let's say 2 million for the sake of argument. Number of people wanting to call those destinations per week? Probably in the low tens... just tens.

    Not a monopoly - there are other suppliers. The former state monopoly, true, but not any more.

    Freedom, jesus, Americans bandy that word around at the drop of a hat. Calls to those nations are now placed through an operator. Where's the loss of freedom? Minor loss of convenience is all.
