" lets you change your grades, retroactively, to all 'A's" - some of us don't have to do this as they're all As already (and A*s in some cases - as if A wasn't good enough anymore or something)!
On a slightly different note - some of the books I've got out from the public library have had pencil notes in the margin - people highlighting paragraphs - doing doodles etc.
Yeah it is - got any idea how to stop a person who has a troll account from using all their five mod points (when they get them) to deliberately mod all your recent posts down?
I meant the amount of troops they had when war broke out - of course they sent reinforcements from Europe but they took months to get there. That's why they needed to draft extra soldiers from America. Really they were just asking for a war by leaving so few troops there.
During the American Revolutionary war, the British consistantly believed that the colonies were full of loyalist supporters. When they found far fewer loyalists than they hoped for, they hired indians to fight for them. Suddenly, the large number of people in the middle swung over to support... the rebels. Oops.

Just go to India or Pakistan. After spending all that money developing nuclear weapons then testing them - they certainly now have plenty to spare for useless expensive projects requiring a lot of manpower, money and that'll ultimately end in destruction!

Scary is the word to use when you contemplate how many people don't know how to disable javascript and thus get rid of these annoying pop ups, pop unders etc.
Actually that was because the British had only a few thousand troops on the entire continent. Most of the British Empire was won with foreign troops anyway. How else do you think a country with a few million people would take over Australia, Canada, India etc?
Here in the U.K. only a handful (maybe two handfuls at most) of the hundreds of radio stations have web broadcasts. This is probably down to both cost & demand.

/me has a look at his bookcase and tries to estimate the dollar value of the used books there - then equates it to computer upgrades. $-)

And via a computer you wouldn't be able to check her lobes. Then again there was that episode where Quark was fooled by a female wearing fake lobes.
How about a World Linux Day?

Are you trying to say that just because they've invented a lot of things we should let them off when they make up an invention they haven't invented?
