Huh? People start dying all over europe if you get a "heatwave" and it's over 35 degrees for a weeek.
I don't need to wear a hat, tshirt and suncream to go outside in the summer, Australians live under a hole in the ozone layer. Brilliant eh?
And that's how we likes it.
Yeah, it's great having to electrocute your arm every day to stop it rotting off.
No, YOU GUYS are in the inconvenient timezone.
You have to get up at all sorts of obscure times to watch any decent sports on TV, we're not interested in watching whatever that fucking game is with a cricket pitch and flagpoles everywhere.
Oh boo-hoo, poor old england, has to pretend they're only interested in soccer, because it's the only sport at which they can beat the aussies.
What else are we supposed to be interested in? Rugby and cricket are for wierdos over here, and yet we still took the Ashes and World Cup off you. Not that we care about beating Australia in any sport, I'm afraid that like with Scotland, that bitterness is one way. Our rivals are countries like Argentina and Germany, not some desert island on the arse-end of the world with a giant chip on its shoulder.
The food at google is said to be one of the finest you can get anywhere.
Considering that the finest food you can get can cost $100 just for the ingredients and expensive, highly-trained chefs (top restaurants are often barely profitable even with obscene prices), if your statement is true then Google could double their profits just by cancelling dinner. Do the shareholders know about this?

The mantra spouted on this site is that piracy isn't stealing as they haven't lost anything. Well, technically no CDs or DVDs are destroyed by this virus so you haven't lost anything either, and can't complain!
Simply copy the files back onto the computer from your legally-acquired CDs and DVDs.
Yeah, the government might jail the hundreds of thousands of people necessary to win an election. Never mind the fact that the government don't choose juries or decide the sentence, and never mind that people accused in a trial don't have to give their political affiliation.
Even if everyone educated themselves, there would still be only so many jobs that require an education, and there would still be many unskilled jobs that needed to be done.
Your brilliant idea would mean millions of over-educated workers working unskilled jobs, except now they have tens of thousands of pounds of debt and several years worth of lost wages to make up. You haven't thought this through at all.
If it wasn't for unions we'd be working 80 hours a week, earning barely enough to survive, with no paid holidays and atrocious working conditions.
Companies have ZERO qualms about fucking over the employees, so it's quite fitting that today unions are fucking over companies.
Yeah, how dare those worthless floor sweepers earn a reasonable wage? They should get $2 an hour and their families should have to live in grotty one-bedroom apartments eating ramen and rats. They deserve it for not being prima donna computer programmers.
You might have a point if only the small minority of companies which broke the law were punished by this legislation, however even the innocent companies are being hammered.
Sarbanes-Oxley is like shooting a machine gun into a crowd because one person there robbed a bank. But then any shit gets modded up on this site.
But it also doesn't mean that society as a whole did NOT benefit from roping in bad business practices.
Is it worth shafting every single small to medium business just for a smaller chance of something which was incredibly rare in the first place? I don't think so.
If businesses suffer but society gains, who says that is a bad thing?
No such thing.
If businesses suffer, society's jobs suffer. Society's pensions suffer. Society's public services relying on tax revenue suffer. Society's quality of living suffers.
I wouldn't be happy about it, but if I commited a crime in another country, I really wouldn't have any excuse to complain about it. I don't think America's justice system is any more unreliable than ours.
I'm a British citizen and I say extradite him. I don't see why my tax money should be wasted on trying this nutjob when the Americans are willing to do it at their expense. He dug his own grave, he can't expect us to dig him out of it.

I think Google should only serve ads from legitimate businesses.
What will they say to the shareholders when profits go down 80%?

Other countries have bears.

Bears don't hide in your bed.
Beats unbelievable travel times to get across the CBD
CBD?
Inconvenient for you perhaps. I quite like it.
Crap for watching the football on TV.

By the way if Australia's so great and Britain's so crap why are there so many of them over here? It seems that an Australian has two job prospects:
1. Hunting crocodiles
2. Pulling pints in England
Greatest country in the world?

Would it look any better carried by a slack-jawed, chequed shirt/giant shorts wearing, burger-wielding, mulletted American?

Since when did scaremongering become fashionable?
If the law is not specific on the subject, I think he has a right to refuse.
And the authorities also have the right to refuse probation.
My wife and I quite enjoy an occasional trip to a 4 or 5-star restaurant
You do realise it only goes up to three stars?
Yes, well done.

I was under the impression that New York was in America.
Based on how Americans support sports teams, I'd imagine they'd flip the switch depending on who was winning at the time.
I wouldn't be happy about it, but if I commited a crime in another country, I really wouldn't have any excuse to complain about it. I don't think America's justice system is any more unreliable than ours.
Questions about timescale, storylines etc are irrelevent.
What really matters is:
Decent director
Decent actors
Decent production values
Decent script
Everything else is just fluff.

That sounds very unhygienic. Better to just have the secretary suck everyone off every morning.
Funny you say I can't rely on the nvidia drivers, they work perfectly, unlike the open source drivers which are a complete joke.
Insightful? Give me a break.
Water's more expensive than soda. Unless you drink tap water which tastes like rust.
Once you learn the shortcuts, it becomes second nature to quickly fly around documents, without your fingers having to leave the keyboard.
It's much quicker and simpler than a bloated IDE or emacs.
