Sorry Mc Dutchie but on the maths front you are wrong - The Numeral Zero was independently theorized by the ancient Aztecs and the Indians.And the numerals we call Arabic Numerals are actually based on the Hindu numerals.
There are quite a few Wikipedia articles for the interested.
then the product is not of merchantable quality and you can sue their ass off. If the system's still stable, then what's the problem?
I am not familiar with the American Legal system , but here in England there are substantial costs involved in a civil case(unless you go to a small claims court).Would it make sense to go to court over a few hundred quid?
I know I'd buy more music (cd, mp3 or ?) if it was reasonably priced.
Only RIAA knows about their Business model but ever since i registered with allofmp3.com,i have been buying humongous amounts of music.If a music track is £1.50 as it is on iTunes,I think thrice before buying nothing.On the other hand since a track on allofmp3.com is only 10-20c (or under 10 p),i buy a lot just to listen to a different sound and hey if i dont like it , no problem , its not that great a sum of money.
Just the way i do things and suspect many others do as well.
in the UK, Mobiles are already stupidly expensive, so much so to get a top of the range phone you have to get it on a contract to cut 90% of the cost of it.
Why do you need the top of the range phone?I got a Motorola c975 from Dial a phone.Its 500 mins any time any network for NO LINE RENTAL.Now , i know Dial a phone try to cheat people when they send the bills for redemption but they cant get out of it,can they?
The competition for Broadband and Mobiles has really heated up.Compare the rates this time last year and now , i guess us lot are already on top.
Who's complaining? The software works remarkably well and is probably one of the most innovative web applications ever. The fact that it requires no client side program and that it works so incredibly smooth is what makes it amazing...
While nobody doubts that Google Maps is good,its hardly innovative,both Multimap and Street Map have implemented long ago what google maps does.The only difference is the others work only in UK (and Europe)and offer no API.
The guy jumped the ticket barriers, ran from the police, and then tried to board the train.
Except the Police were Plain Clothes men and the million dollar question is whether they identified themselves.Maybe the chap was just running away from some nutters with a gun?
Major ISPs may not allow you on their networks if you're not "secure".
Doubt that will happen.ISP's like any other business are there to make money and they dont do that by kicking off customers who dont cause the ISP's any problems.In fact , over the last year the broadband market has really become very competitivein UK and all ISP's advertise the fact that you can download massive amounts of music.
Just because you don't watch BBC3 doesn't mean it isn't good. A lot of the BBCs best programming debuts on BBC3 - Spooks and Little Britain to name but two.
What US has done in the Iraq is known in the technical circles as Shooting oneself in the foot.
While Saddam Hussain is a master terroriser , he was one of the few despots in the Arab world who was active against Al Queda and its ilk.So far from reducing the hot spots that breed terrorism , invading Iraq and removing Saddam has actually increased the number of countries the terrorists could shelter in.
Remember , Saddam's Iraq was relatively Secular. In that part of the World , the tribe was dominant over the religion.
Four seperate explosions, yet so little casualties
You effing C*nt , one is one too many for their loved ones.Follow the news , they are STILL CONTINUING the rescue operations at Kings Cross and Edgware Road, which means they are still looking ion the tunnels and BBC are saying police are confirming that there are significant fatalities.
Central London is completely Blocked.My brother is at his office and the roads are cordoned off even for pedestrians.
The Police have just confirmed that there are a number of fatalities at Edgware road which along with Aldwych was the most seriously affected.The eyewitness reports and pictures from Tavistock Square suggest that there must be serious casualties.
Even the IRA,when they did their worst in London , spared the innocent, they would phone in before the explosions to let the area be evacuated. The Dirty Bastards.

The BBC are doing a series on the mental differences between Men and Women called Secrets of the Sexes and to say the least , its really fascinating.

hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.
Absolutely. I mean look what happened to the Romans. They had no television. Where are they now?
Rubbish , they came out all right.Where do you think Italy comes from?
Ummm...OK i see what you mean
in the side panel , cover it with a mesh and have a very low RPM 6-8" inblowing fan installed.Cool insides and low noise?

Sky is reporting 45 dead and the figure is expected to Rise.
This just in from a mate at North Lambeth.Security is really tight and police ARE STOPPING pedestrians from walking towards Westminster bridge.
the problems were caused by the power supply.
It might be the new Inspector Sands which was used as a coded message to prevent panic.
