I still have random HTML stored on an old ISPs server. It was an easy place to get the information out there. I can even remember the old http://go.to/* address from the pre-millenium era.
Even betting on football is a skill. A numbers game skill. The skill is knowing when the bookmarkers have made a mistake, when to bet and when not.
Manchester United are classed as a banker. They rarely lose. Typical odds on them winning a home game is @1.20. £1 on all their games throughout the season will lose you money - it's how the bookmakers make their money. Obvious, when you think about it.
Just like playing a hand of poker, you need to know when to bet and when not.
I think it's silly not to let people have a gamble. Poker, horses, and football betting is far more tranparent than playing the lottery, which millions of unedjucated people seem to do too regularly.
The Sale of Goods Act in the UK goes way beyond that.
I expect a game to work forever as long as I look after the disc properly. I would guess this is the norm.
I'm stuffed because I buy a lot of my games second hand. It would be interesting to see the reaction of the retailer if I was to return a mint condition FIFA09 game because it stopped working and cited the Sale of Goods Act.
I couldn't even tell you where the bars on my phone are placed. OK, that's a lie, I remember looking at 1 bar in the underground car park the other day. I also remember it showing 2 bars when I stepped off the plane in Spain last year. The text message telling me that roaming was working drew my attention to it.
Cheap phone. No contract; not even a rolling 30 day contract.
#8 Don't start a rumour about the guy who tells people he's at his desk by 5:30am each morning, three hours before we're supposed to start. It is not his alcoholic dawn. He does not have a drinking problem. The broken capillaries on his nose are genetic. His bad temper in the late afternoon is due to tiredness because he works so god damn hard.
Every time I catch someone double-dipping on their expenses, I wonder how on earth they make the same mistake over and over. Is it a game to rob the tax man? Are they stupid or is it just above them?

So everyone has to take a minute out of their day to block him?
Wouldn't it be better to not post this crap?
If you want people to remember it, you should define its pronunciation.
It is pronounced: Shaggers disease :-)
Morgan Freeman?
Metres!
Why do you find it odd?

City? Best coverage?
My tiny town has 100% coverage no matter which provider you choose.
When is everyone across the pond going to stop clapping things we had 15 years ago?
There are adverts running in the UK that state 2450% APR. 50% is nothing!
The racist FUD from kdawson has been growing for some time.
Why? Why does he, and seemingly the whole of the USA population, feel the need to always have an enemy?
Is is a culture thing? An edjucation thing?
I can't get my head around it.
Yeah but, facts aside, think of the children!
Isn't comedy supposed to be funny?
People are saying it's opt-out. Who is correct?

Um, the menu bar is where I place all my bookmarklets. It seemed like the obvious place to put them. Don't take that away from me!
I would like to play this silly game.

You all suck.
Do not crack. Poison.
Take one frame from, lets say, 162,000 films (90 mins x 60 x 30fps). Splice them together randomly, and distribute.
First person to get a letter from the authorities, claiming they're sharing 162,000 films, gets a virtual gold star.
Bonus coloured stars if they can compress the new film down to a 15mb RAR and keep the hashes in place.
#2 made me smile. So...

He smells too and I'm not backing down from that.
What a strange method. Simply x/1.175 removes VAT.

"You simply can't prove you did not use a machine"
A lot of ATMs in the UK take a picture. The lens is clearly visible.
You know us, cameras everywhere and that's the way we like it!
Green? Phew!
Our money is blue, brown, purple and red!
I had a credit card sized slot on my ICE. Think it was a Blaupunkt. The card was an anti-theft device, nothing to do with phones or SIMs.
You can download porn over the World Wide Web? How quaint.
I'm just amazed to learn that people can post text messages on Usenet!
In all my years of navigating a.b.*, I have never seen one!
And that is exactly where Apples belong: on the TV.
"Dave" is a man's channel. Endless comedy and fast cars.
And one week later, they shown the same programmes again!
