I'm not sure that most people knew what it meant when it WAS relevant. Most people use "3rd world" to describe a dirt-poor nation that doesn't have running water, and "2nd world" for a less poor nation that does have running water.
I don't see that ad. However, awhile back I saw some sort of moving ad zipping across the screen. Reminded me of those "punch the monkey" ads. I closed the browser and went off to another site. I suppose I should have noticed WTF the ad was, so I know NEVER to buy anything from that company!
is that the television JustWorks (tm). You just turn the damn thing on, switch channels as required, and that's it. No worries about stealing your banking details, no BSOD, and the closest it gets to viruses are some of those horrible ads (come to think of it, I'd rather have the virus:-P ).
Yup! Before I had Tivo, I'd use the mute button a lot. There were some commercials so bad that my finger created a sonic boom stabbing for the button! Also, while watching live TV, I still often dart into my computer room during commercial breaks, out of earshot of the TV.
Once, I stumbled on a website of funny 911 calls (I don't remember the url, and don't want to google for it from work), and one of them was from a home invasion victim who was gagged. It was funny listening to the operator trying to understand the victim's attempts to give her location, but it wouldn't be so funny to the victim.
Hmm, I see lots of people wearing green, but I've never heard any of them speaking Irish. Nor have any of those people with Irish names had any problem understanding me or fitting in with my Enligh-speaking American culture.
I wish I had mod points! Nothing is created in a vaccuum. American culture and history didn't start in 1776, or even in 1492. It merely split from the older British culture then.
"Gee, I wonder why this drug cocktail simultaneously shut down my internal organs while boosting my blood pressure and breeding a new deadly antibiotic resistant strain of staph-B?"
The sad thing is, that's the CURRENT situation with supervision by alleged professionals. When a drug causes a side-effect, the doctors often prescribe another drug to fight the first drugs effects. I've seen people on 15 meds wondering why they're so sick.
There aren't many historical examples of Buddhists or Hindus going out and waging aggressive wars of conquest. Reincarnation has been stripped from Christianity, Islam and Judaism, and look which groups are busy killing each other. I wonder who would sign up to go kill 'towel heads' if they knew the karmic burden they'd be incurring...
I don't think that makes any difference. Being reborn as a worm for your sins isn't as bad as going to Hell. And only the atheists think that you only have this life. The Abramic religions believe you go to Heaven, which according to the Bible is somewhat better than being reborn as the next Bill Gates (though I wouldn't object to the latter).
The problem is, installation is still YMMV. On one of my old PCs, RedHat was easy enough for a 2 year old (just my guess, since I don't have a 2 year old to install it for me). On another PC, well I don't know about a 2 year old, but it was too much for an overworked 40 year old.:-P

At today's prices, 6M would barely buy a bionic finger.

Being dependant on a pacemaker is one thing. But it seems to me that many people are enslaved by their cellphones!

I installed the patches just before leaving for work this morning. I guess I'll find out when I get home if there were any problems.
Hmm, my default is (was?) Opera. I haven't logged on since the patch. When I get home, I'll have to see if it changed mine.
Nope, they were the old Ubuntu, except they sucked.
But it also means we're less likely to realize that they're planning a revolt until it's too late!
Sadly, I agree with you. OTOH, it would sure be nice to replace some of those PHBs with monkeys. That would be a step up in intellegence.

No, it's no longer allowed. Now you're supposed to stay in the living room when they're showing those ads for bladder-control meds.
Fourth break, take leak/dump ON THE TV!

it won't work against politicians, because they talk out of their asses, not their mouth.
Luckily, if there's a fire, that will provide enough light to know where to aim. The tricky part is putting out the fire before you run dry.

But are you beating the dead shark?
