Fire evacuation, as others have mentioned the same in this thread...
We don't use a system like that in the UK. Swipe cards do not prove you left the building. Your mate saying "yeah, he went to the doctors" is not enough. A register of names is not good enough. Everything you can think of is not good enough.
The Fire Service, in the UK, recommend that sweeping searches are the only method to use to guarantee everyone has left the building. We use fire marshals at my company. If there are no fire marshals in the building, leave it to the Fire Service to conduct the searches.
Actually, I believe your Mom hangs out in alt.binaries.embroidery* and is in fact "Yenc-PP-A&A". The same "Yenc-PP-A&A" who posts countless music and movies.
Your clever attempt at deflecting the pointing finger has failed.
Funnily enough, some Flash apps do not work properly on my Wii either. One of the selling points for the browser I bought(!) for the Wii platform was its ability to run Flash.
Running Flash Block at home and it's great once you whitelist the decent sites. 100% of all users I know run Flash Block.
"Barman, would you like to hear a blond joke?" says the man.
The barman leans over with a serious look in his eyes. "Before you tell your joke, let me tell you five things", he said. "I'm blond and I have a baseball bat under the bar. The doorman is blond and weighs as much as a horse. My wife is blond can carry a barrel of beer under each arm. The cleaner is blond with a black belt in karate. And finally, the gentlemen at the end of the bar is blond, ex-SAS with a screw loose"
The barmen maintains eye contact with the man. "You still want to tell your joke?"
You are not alone. I don't have, nor have I ever had, a Facebook account.
Towards the end of last year, I tried to find someone I lived with 8 years ago. We drifted apart because of babies and all the social life they drain out of you. I got my wife to search facebook because I was informed "everyone uses it!". My old friend was nowhere to be found.
I met up with him a few weeks back after the good old fashion way of "asking around". I conclude that facebook is a fad for the young and the socially inept.
My Samsung works like this. Fast charge using the charger, trickle charge at work because I can't install the drivers (the mass storage function still works fine), and fast charge on this laptop because it's mine.
I use the DPA regularly to close accounts and it seems to work. Once the relationship with the company has ended, they no longer need the data. This is when it should be deleted.
I beleive the gist of the law says "data may be kept as long as nessesary". Well, once the relationship has ended, it is no longer nessesary to keep the data. There are very few reasons to keep data after this.
I've even demanded that a qualified and certified individual deletes the data, not a minium wage clerk who just presses the delete button. I've even asked for backups to be deleted too. This is part of the DPA - I picked this up from a site that campains agaist using fingerprints in school libraries.
Of course I have no way of checking.
William Hill was the last company I used the DPA against. They complied with minimum fuss.
OK, I've join this thread far too late and this comment will be totally lost but here goes.
We get the Chinese to do work for us all the time. Large machining jobs normally. We recently refused to give one company work because they had asbestos in their roof. The company replaced the roof, we inspected, they got the job, everyone was happy.
We do this all the time. The Chinese seem to welcome our health and safety help. They certainly bend over backwards to help us.
Work we put out to tender in the USA is different. "You'll get what you're given" seems to be the attitude we're met with most.
All my fellow children on this post are describing themselves as old school leechers. Leechers - taking something and not giving back. Not, I'm downloading something therefore I'm a leecher and I wear it as a badge of honour.
How about, to improve your ratio, you add something original? You be the first to upload it? Get the files from IRC, FTP, Usenet and then seed them from the start?
What, you don't know how? Damn, fuckin', leechers. Buy a DVD a rip it you cheap pikeys. I like football and Jungle by the way, start with a DVD about that.
I have rats in my roof at the moment. They've returned after my roof being free of rats for five years. It turns out that they came up looking for food, found the old surplus poison from five years ago and decided it was a good place to nest. Be warned: don't leave piles of poison around after you've treated the infestation because it encourages them to return. No food, no rats.
We have 'super rats' in my large town. Don't poison yourself. You need to get an expert in if we've got any chance of defeating these oversized monsters.
On a side note, as some people are posting natural remedies, when I was a boy my mate had a ferret complete with radio gear. I never saw it rat-catching but it could savage a rabbit if you let it. So, no Terrier dogs or lazy overfed cats, get a ferret.

I had a terabyte of media a few years back. To think that there are 65 others just like me is unfathomable! Unfathomable, I say!

They're great. Without the reader, the worst someone could do after obtaining passwords, PINs and account numbers, is pay my bills.

*(of course it exists!)
The two screens, with the brightness set above seven, makes the laptop lighter.
It was on page three of the article.
Every other person I know seems to have an N95 or N96. They're not the prettiest phones in the world so they must something else going for them.
You mean during the colonial fullstop?
I haven't noticed yet.
If the family have sent me emails, they'll wait.
If Blockbusters, Ebay, PayPal, My Bank, Slashdot Mods, BBC, subscribed newsletters, and the rest have sent me email, I'm sure it'll wait.
If a long lost friend has tracked me down and sent me an email, he'll wait.
If any of the 200 spam vendors have sent me email, they'll get the same long wait as usual.
Since when did _personal_ email become so important that I need it 24/7? If any one is using gmail for business then they're a fucking donkey.

Man walks into a bar and orders a drink.
"Barman, would you like to hear a blond joke?" says the man.
The barman leans over with a serious look in his eyes. "Before you tell your joke, let me tell you five things", he said. "I'm blond and I have a baseball bat under the bar.

And finally, the gentlemen at the end of the bar is blond, ex-SAS with a screw loose"
The barmen maintains eye contact with the man. "You still want to tell your joke?"
"No way! Not if I've got explain it five times!"
8, female, at school - why do you ask?
Do people still do ASLs?
I've said similar on here in the past and not been modded up *grumpy*
It also stems from the fact that we don't lock up innocent people in the western world.
Browsing at +3, yours is the only post that mentions metric.
56 tons, 56 metric tons, 56,000 kg.
Funny though, 2nd result on Google for "123,000 pounds in metric tons" is this thread.

In fact don't bother. BT is too risky.
What about all the ActiveX IE6 was blocking at work last week? If the text hadn't been in English, I could have sworn I was surfing Korean sites.
ActiveX? C'mon, on this site too? Disgusting.

It's a Belgium beer though. Belgium beer brewed in the UK. And it's no more expensive than any other beer now. It's a real classy summer drink.
Your English is fine. It reads fine. It's better than most of the posts I've read today.
Usenet:
1) Use indexing sites.
2) Use Usenet search engines. Only search for scene release names (the folder names, get those from other NFO indexing sites)
It's not hard. It's faster than runny snot on a cold day. 700mb in a little over 6 minutes for me.
Sorry for breaking the no talking rule.
I have different voices for each writter. And, by the way, you have the worse Scotish accent I've ever read.
I changed a lot a things.
