If you drop one of the floor everyone in the room is required to fast for 40 days (generally Monday and Thursday for the next 20 weeks). This is an object for us that is increadably special to us.
So Jews would understand the complaints leveled by sections of the Muslim community against the US Armed Forces "disrespecting" copies of the Koran?
The problem is that when people correct things, they're not trying to help other people out, they're trying to point out how dumb the person who made the mistake is, and how smart they are for correcting it. It's the obnoxious grammar nazis that no one likes.
You can add to the list - "those who generalise". Not everyone who corrects grammar is trying to point out how dumb the other person is.
See, I wan't trying to make you out as dumb, even though you were. D'oh!
No, when you md5 a picture, you get a series of dots that when you stare at for three hours, morph into a 3D representation of naked guy bent over spreading his butt cheeks.
Google Monday must come a day before DVD Tuesday. Lots of ads on TV telling me that "[insert name of movie here] will be available to buy on DVD Tuesday".
Like in the UK maybe? It may surprise you to know that "UK traditional food" is not"usually anything boiled".
Fish and Chips Roast Beef Yorkshire Pudding Cornish Pasties Scones Crumpets Welsh Rarebit
None of these are usually boiled, though there are some traditional dishes that are, such as Haggis, and Blackpudding. So drop the "usually", insert "sometimes", reparse, and you know what? UK cuisine isn't any worse than French.
You : However it is only used to refer to people, not things
Your link : so it can be used for men, or groups of men and women
One of you is wrong, and seeing as my Latin teacher taught us that it can be used for people, I'd go with Wikipedia being right. Lots of other sites also agree.
The ones to lose out would be the Aussies who did not download the torrent, and would not get to see the program when ABC decide not to buy it from the BBC on the grounds that many Aussies had already downloaded the torrent.
Is that clear? It was clear in my head, but may have lost translation through the keyboard...
Doesn't say that they have global reach at all, just that they have offices in "Brussels; New Delhi; Rio de Janeiro; Singapore; Mexico City; Toronto; and Jakarta."
This is far from having any say at all in these countries.
Just because [org] has [an office] somewhere does not mean any legal action can be taken.
Replace [org] with USA, [an office] with embassy, and you se what I'm getting at.
Yes, they can influence, but the courts in the UK are likely to go "pffft" to any request to extradite a personal downloader of BT files.
Set up a server in the UK, mind you, and I'm sure there are some H&S laws, tax laws, whatever, that could be used to close you down - with pressure from the MPA.
Then given that torrents and their like are here to stay, the answer is to change the way the programs are funded.
Move to the BBC model for local markets, then to go global - brand your product, sell top-and-tail ads, and torrent the output yourself. Control the product, and it's means of distribution.
It's a huge step, but short of stamping out p2p sites completely - change is the only solution.

Yeah, but if you're God I bet you won't listen to prayers at -1.
I'd suggest seeing it before Tim Curry, David Hyde Pierce, and Hank Azaria leave the show.
And when would that be? I have tickets for the first week in August!
Yeah, I'll be sightseeing in NYC for the week, but I really wanna see those guys in the show.

well, UK traditional food is usually anything boiled, but that's another story
This from someone whose national dishes are frogs legs and snails? I guess you longer call the Brits "rosbif" anymore.
For added fun, put on the teletext subtitles as the songs are being sung. Feckin' hilarious.
Why do chicken coups always have 2 doors?

There'll never be a Slashdot: The Next Generation
It'll be reruns anyway.
Years since I watched TNG, but didn't Picard turn down a promotion to the Admiralty?
Also, because as a concept, beer is slightly older than refridgerators.
