A better analogy would perhaps be "Oxen", plural of Ox. One of the few nouns in the English language still to use -en not -es to form a plural. This is obviously the way it is done in German to this day and shows the teutonic foundations of the English language.
If a manufacturer only guarantees an item for one year (thought I notice 90 days is often the case in the US - it would be illegal here), as what point does a failure rate occuring after that first year constitute a problem with the product. If 50% fail within two years can this actuallt be seen as a problem with the product. In our modern-age,Just what does guarantee actually mean...???
and coming from Europe, when I went to East LA nobody was speaking English...
It will become even more of a Lingua Franca, sure but Primary for everybody, I don't think so. Peoples' pride in their own cultures would not allow it...
Actually what I find most scary about this clip is the guy seems to be listening to bagpipe music in his car. I mean, come on, who the hell listens to bagpipe music for pleasure...???
Reminds me of the story of the wandering Corn Flake which goes on and on and on and on and on (and with an imaginative storyteller, last for a good half-hour or more).
Eventually bordom and frustration set it and the teller is asked if there is actually and end to this joke.
Although not mentioned explicitly, it should be obvious that this is about the use of substances such as depleted uraniam in shells, which has been cited by some as a possible cause of Gulf War Syndrome and recent increases in birth defects in Iraq and surrounding areas.
Current scientific thinking on GWS varies (depending on who's funding the studies) between claiming it doesn't exist at all, was caused by the heavy use of experimental medicines on troops to protect against bio and chemical weapons and the use of the 'depleted' Uraniam.
Now if the shell kills you in the first place, I guess you don't care about its environmental effects, but invading troops or resetting populations might just be a bit more fussy.
And hell, if it sounds like an oxymoron it isn't the first in the field. Millitary Intelligence anyone...
the drunk on the bus who claimed to have solved the problem of Middle East peace, but vomited and passed out before he could tell me...
Niels Ferguson (who is probably as vain as the rest of us) chose the only option available to him:
Leak the crack anonymously and miss out on the fame.
Release the crack and suffer the consequences.
Anounce the fact that he had cracked it but not disclose it.
It's great to see the fear and lothing that the Sklyarov case has caused. Still, information will out. These paranoia inducements will untilately be us useless as the encryption systems they are protecting. Eventually we'll get a suicide cracker...
It's true, although it refers to the pump pressure created to force the water through the coffee grains. Whether this is actually a scientifically acurare use of the word, I cannot tell. Perhaps that's why I work in a restaurant!
Slashdot Mirror
Is the availability of parking spaces actually controlled by the laws of physics?
It is working. They're playing Sonic Youth right now. No sign at all of Slashdot effect. Amazing really.
Yes I am.

Ah - the more things change, the more they stay the same...
Troll?
Now I want a copy.
Bit like Paris Hilton.
And if the flame doesn't work, then complain about the moderation. Sure to get 'em every time... Think you've just been trolled, mate!

Pretty fucked when there's a power cut then... What size of UPS could cope with that?
About as useful and timely as bringing out a roman numeral modification for the abacus.
When this guy loses his case, is there any chance that the Judge can force him to change his name to Iyama Twat? It seems so much more appropriate.

The reply? "Of course not. It's a serial"
Violence then usually ensues...
What's This then??? They're hiring, you know.

Bacteria already eat sweat. That's what causes the smell in your armpits. Use something to stop the sweating or wear a deodorant!

Take a look at The Daily Grind round-up for details.
Somthing to regulate the temperature would be better. Boiling water impares the taste - Too cold and you don;t extract all thr flavour.
93 degrees centigrate at 18 bar pressure will produce the ultimate coffee.
Also, I would imagine that the use of different beans would create variations in colour which this machine could never deal with.
There's an Old Lump of Rock Wobbling around the Outer-limits of the Solar System, and it's been there a while...
Repeat after me - It's a joke - laugh or move along. Anyway, if I was being serious I would have said 'maths'.
If it was at 50kHz back in 1949, where according to Moore's Law should we be by now???
