Except they aren't. I'm 6'3" and 250lbs & I have a large Aeron (you did know they were sized, didn't you?) It's too small. The seat squab is too narrow and at the end of the day my upper thighs are very sore from sitting on the edges of the squab. I stole an ordinary office chair from a meeting room and that's far superior. And the $150 leather "Captains Chair" I bought in Office World for home use is better again. All those who didn't manage to steal one when MP3.com went down; don't worry - they aren't worth the hassle.
Intel did realise that "Prescott" is a much lampooned British politician, didn't they?

Boring but true. I've had to reboot my iPaq more times per day, in the week I've owned it, than I've had to reboot my Psion 5MX in the entire 5 years I've owned *that*. And the builtin iPaq apps suck by comparison, too. The handwriting recognition is pretty neat, though. Far superior to the Palm I also rejected in favour of the Psion.
Except that DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) in Europe has (admittedly finally) been a runaway sales success this Christmas. Not even remotely a product looking for market.
You're an idiot. I get 6 or 7 *hundred* spams a day and 1 or 2 hams. If I was deleting this stuff manually, it would take hours a day.
I cannot recommend ASSP strongly enough; http://assp.sourceforge.net
Using phrases like "shareware Linux" and "kernel level programming in VB" plus stating that Linux doesn't have features that it patently does, demonstrates more than adequately that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
Shame on you for calling yourself a "consultant". You're an MS weenie, pure and simple.
Subtle pleasures? It's tedious, predictable, trite garbage that should have died years ago, as soon as it was obvious that SMG was too old to be a high school student.
Except that the Star Trek reference is itself based on the Latin verb "to speak" (see "interlocutor"). If you had a decent education, you'd know that...
Interesting post. I have travelled on the Acela Express a few times (between NY & Philly) and by train in Europe & the UK (I'm a Brit with parents who live in the USA). If the Acela Express *was* designed and built specifically for the US market, the design was plagiarised from European ones, and I can superficially see no difference between it and European designs. Interestingly, several British train operators are suing train manufacturers for poor reliability.
1) The voltage is largely irrelevant when it comes to electrocution - like the old ham saw has "it's volts that jolts & mills that kills".
2) 110V electricity, wooden houses and volunteer fire brigades - how many people in the US burn to death in electrical fires each year?
US -> Europe flights are generally overnight. Get some shut-eye, you're going to need it. And don't piss off all those around you who *are* trying to get some sleep by tapping away for hours on end.

Yeah, I'll spend lots of money on a dead technology. My boss is bound to like that.
"Ender's Game" was garbage. A "suprise ending" that was obvious from light years away.
Who cares?

... if it were true. As anyone who bothered to type "Hutton enquiry" into Google would have found out.

There are American football Leagues in Europe???

Only if "nice" is an odd way of spelling "evil". Do you know how crap "everything is a database" really is?
... of course.

When are the Merkins going to realise that they have pissed away everything that they fought the War of Independence for?

"Clueless" is about right. Drooling, bigoted garbage would be closer.
Climactic is to do with orgasms.

Yeah, right. The Roman Emperors had air conditioning 1000 years ago. The coolth was provided by ice brought down to Rome from the mountains by slaves.
