Uh, I could be wrong here, but if the moon's eclipsed, you can't see it at all, because the earth's blocking the light that normally bounces of of it. Red (and orange & blue & any other funky colour) moons are atmospheric anomalies. And fairly rare in most places.
Well, a faggot is a bundle of sticks, but a fag is a cigarette. My point was that words not only change over time, but mean different things to different people.
Bank cards basically are your account. You have a 4 to 6 digit pin (varies by bank, and by customer desire). It's used at the atm machines to deposit, withdraw, pay bills, transfer between accounts, and quickly find your account details if you actually find a reason to go inside the bank. The main use is to allow shopping w/o cash. The majority of retailers have an "interac" machine provided by their bank which allows, through the use of the card and a pin-pad, customers to pay for their purchases via an account to account transfer of funds. It is considered a cash transaction by both parties.
Offtipic, hell. Its a good point and one that some people need to have beaten into them. Geeks aren't more important than the rest of society. We may believe our opinions are better considered and/or just plain better than J. Random Lusers, but so does he. We don't like them co-opting our vocabulary and misusing it, and they don't like our condescending attitudes.
These "Check Cards" the Americans amongst us (and loony toons on the ads) are always talking about are just a fancy name for standard bank cards that us Canadians have been using for years now, right?
Yeah, I figured out that's the type of people they were talking about after a few comments showed up. Only thing that came to mind while reading the article was somebody in a room reading anti-government propaganda...
Where do you live? I moved back to Edmonton from Calgary a few months ago, and was surprised to hear the proper, un-edited versions of songs at 3 in the afternoon. Guess CRTC's been easing off on the censorship some more. DJ type guys still can't swear, but I like not being stuck with "radio-friendly" versions of the music I like.
The article seems to be implying that normal radio stations are doing this to get listeners. Of course, that doesn't seem likely. What would pirates want to broadcast anyhow?
Exactly. There's no option for voting against someone. We need the option of voting against the candidate we dislike the most, so we can help prevent the greater evil without having to support the lesser evil.
Ah, but that's one of the many glaring flaws in modern economic theory... They haven't lost $18M. They've lost whatever their daily fixed costs are. $18M is what their daily profit would have been. You can not lose what you do not have.
Your right, most of them died of diesease. And the colonial leaders knew it too. That's why they started distributing blankets that they knew where less-than-free of European germs.
Maybe, maybe not. Ask us again after the court battle is complete. I'd have to think it would be a Good Thing if MS was to become a force for good in the future. I have to wonder if a direct correlation between MS and IBM is possible though? IBM can do general hardware research with no specific application in mind, but will MS (or any other software company) beable to do general software research?

Yeah, I started doing that on the second page. Have to hit back after each one tho, which is more hit-or-miss accesses.
Dubya is a spoiled frat-boy.
No government = no law = no suing anyone, no liability laws in the first place.

If I volenteer to be that one more, can we stop before we get nailed for flaimbait?
Not evolving language.....
Quick: what's a fag?
what does gay mean?
Romeo, Romeo, wherfor art thou Romeo? - Does everyone in the english speaking world know that Juliet is not asking Romeo where he is?
Your going to prevent it by continuously ranting like an idiot about how your cultural purity is more important than anyone else's

Can someone confirm something for me?

I'm having to reload each page repeatedly to try to see all the panels. This is going to take awhile....
Well then you ought to really enjoy this time next year after your six year old has been learning new words at school...

Hmmm, that seems interesting. Still requires me to say that I actually want one of them to be in power tho.
... and what are they broadcasting?

Oh that's an easy one to answer: However his people tell him will earn him the most (cost him the least) popularity.
But you didn't vote against them...
Exactly. There's no option for voting against someone. We need the option of voting against the candidate we dislike the most, so we can help prevent the greater evil without having to support the lesser evil.
I like Silverchair's Anthem for the Year 2000 better, myself.

Wolves, dogs, and coyotes all breed successfully; thus, they are properly considered a single species.
And most of them died of disease
