It should also be mentioned at this point that Beatles->Apple are obliged to take action against Jobs->Apple over the trademark infrigement, otherwise the trademark will be automatically nullified.
The Briths economy is already fucked, and has been for some time.
Of course, sixteen years of economic incompetence will do that to a country, especially when eight of them are under Marxist government... currently shifting to a despotic Marxist government.
I think perhaps you misunderstand what I mean by filtering.
When you enter a search term, a (good) search engine will filter out anything that doesn't at least partially satisfy that term.
The very best search engine would find you a (the?) page with exactly what you wanted. This isn't really possible (for now) so, as you say, that's what rankings are for.
Even if we assume that the idea is to capture LA,
and not just destroy it (otherwise, this is a very
short exercise), any thinking army would just cut off LA and disrupt the water supply. Sure, you could live off of bottled water for a little while, but LA is very vulnerable in this way.
Perhaps this would be a good time to ask how the army would survive if LA had no water? They're human, too. Even if they had made some provision, it would probably only convince the populace to redouble their efforts to take that water (see the part of Sun Tzu about the command to the army to break their cooking pots [ie. they had to take the enemy's cooking pots, die in battle, or die of starvation])
"By the way, if anyone here is in marketing or advertising...kill yourself. Thank you. Just planting seeds, planting seeds is all I'm doing. No joke here, really. Seriously, kill yourself, you have no rationalisation for what you do, you are Satan's little helpers. Kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself now. Now, back to the show. Seriously, I know the marketing people: 'There's gonna be a joke comin' up.' There's no fuckin' joke. Suck a tail pipe, hang yourself...borrow a pistol from an NRA buddy, do something...rid the world of your evil fuckin' presence."
We all got along just fine before advertising, thank you very much.
The white worm needs to be passive; a compromised system will try and attack other systems - all the "good" virus has to do is wait for an attack. When an attack occurs, our "good" virus has the IP of a compromised machine on which to mount a counterattack/patch.
The white worm should also uninstall itself after a predetermined length of time, say 10 days.
I understand the concern people have about auto-patching, however I am certain that none of those people would put themselves into a situation where they were vulnerable in any case - they would only see a benefit from this, in the overall lessening of net traffic.
You can abort a system shutdown by issuing the command
shutdown/a
if you want something a little more permanent, type
services.msc in the command line, then find "RPC Service" (or whatever), right-click, choose properties, find where it says "after failures" and set them all to "no action". Reboot and patch, and virus-scan and patch and rinse and repeat...
>As the cost of living has risen in the past 19 years
Definitely.
>so have salaries
Somewhat, although certainly less than the cost of living.
>and the cost of physical goods have risen accordingly
Perhaps, but I personally doubt it, due to the sheer volume of physical goods being produced, thus at cheaper prices than ever before.
It's easy - your lightswitch now becomes a joystick.
The x,y plane controls RGB, and z is a push/pull control for off/on/intensity, like a dimmer switch.
How about those domains which have expired and been bought up by those lame-ass Hong Kong based types who try reselling them, but have those crappy search engines on there?
You know, the ones Google always seems to find.
I remember reading that the female brain is wired somewhat differently to that of the male.
Supposedly they have (generally) less capacity for spacial awareness*, but higher ability in problem solving and organisational skills. Hence, women (again, generally**) prefer games like Tetris and, say, The Sims. (And I'm sure we all remember the study that women were more open to arousal after playing Tetris...)
With the current trend in gaming going towards more and more 3D-based gaming, it puts those with lesser spacial awareness at a disadvantage.
So if gaming companies want women to play their games, then they are simply going to have to be more original in their ideas, instead of churning out stuff like Quake 497 and 3D-car-racing-deathfuck 2010.
Of course, as a man, I'm quite happy to buy some of these last examples.

You're right. I probably ought to have RTFA more carefully. Sorry!

"nice computer you got here... be a shame if it crashed...."
Manslaughter. You would spell it "Criminally Negligent Homicide", I imagine.
Haven't you heard?
John and Paul also killed a bunch of people with a hammer. I think someobody said it was made of silver...

God save the fucking Queen. Nobody else can.

Sorry, but if Google consistently returns more results, it could just as easily mean that the filtering isn't as good.
I still prefer Google though.

"...the British thought geting pure water to measure 0 degrees (ie. 0) was too difficult."
no prize for you!

I experienced the same thing, although not to the extent of throwing up after play. I think it may have been the rolling motion (eg. sea-sickness).
Would you prefer it to be a wobbly, purple cock?
Dude, all you needed to say was "Speak Common!"...
Dead Wood.

Dude, that's just what they tell EE students...

I saw a TV programme a few years ago about people brewing hooch in scotland using toploading washing machines.
