I have a family member whole drives with epilepsy. It's controlled by drugs and he's not had an attack in all the time I've known him which, if I had to guess, would be 30 years.
I get this too. The process normally stops when I ask for content, and they have none, and they were expecting me to write that too.
Easiest beer I ever earnt was a week back. "Fix my laptop!" came the call from a friend who likes to surf while laying on his sofa. I had a hunch what the problem was. I picked up the laptop, that had been dead for a week, and shaked it above my head. One push of the power button and it booted.
Hey, that's not fair. We had some wonderfully hot sunshine last year, in the last week of July.
And while you wont find surf in Brighton (strange example to give btw), you'll find it on the south west coast. Some of the best waves in the world, so I'm told. They even have some yellow sand too.
All the bars are full of Australians, in all parts of England. We need someone to serve the drinks!
Those Romanian horses are only healthier than our Bristish [sic] cows if they were pumped full of not-fit-for-human drugs, which they were.
What was in our BEEFburgers was, and probably still is, ground up horse. Ground up horse used as a cheap filler; a cheaper filler than the normal sawdust and cardboard; a filler made from spines, brains and bollocks.
Falcons stay with their owner for protection, shelter and free food. The life the falconer gives them is better than the life they would get in the wild. It's why they choose to stay and not fly off to fend for themselves.
Forget the NZB indexing sites. The majority of, I dunno, XVID movies are in a.b.movies.xvid.
Subscribe. Automatically download those headers, every 10 minutes if need be. Bandwidth is cheap. Time is not important. Read Slashdot while that's happening.
Use a release site like VCDQ, or go hardcore on IRC if you like a little more pain. They exist for music too, you know? Search for those folder names in your Usenet client and download. The uploader has probably created an NZB anyway.
NZB indexing sites are for the laziest of the lazy and are against the whole spirit of things.
Always ask if there's an underwriter in the building. There never is, there will be giggles, they will put you on hold while they grab a coffee from the machine, they will offer a lower price on their return 'from talking to the underwriter'.
It's a game. You have to play. There's no risk of losing.

I get accused of trolling on other forums just becuase I argue against the status quo. It's one thing I love about the internet; the way everything is smashed down into little bits and discussed to death. If everyone took the same view, it would be a boring internet.
No one should take offence. Everyone should listen to all sides of the debate.
I see myself as a radio presenter; the one who's job it is to stir up the public opinon, to create some outrage, to get people to phone in. There is often a good-cop and bad-cop on these types of radio shows, and for good reason.
Get your head down, stay out of everyone's way, do your time,......watch Sky Sports and play the PS3 or 360 [in low category gaols before anyone gets on their high horse]

Sorry to bust your chops, but the number is closer to 50.
I was a postman for a very short while.
And when I fill out forms and click "get my address", about 50 are displayed.
I have a family member whole drives with epilepsy. It's controlled by drugs and he's not had an attack in all the time I've known him which, if I had to guess, would be 30 years.
You'll keep coming back for the same reason as me - the hot chicks. I'm only here to meet hot chicks.
After not playing for 20 years, I installed Backgammon, Checkers, and Reversi on my phone. All written by AI on Google Play.
:)
They're great little five minute time wasters.
Backgammon - started on the lowest level and got beat. Today I beat the highest level nine times out of ten.
Checkers - seems such an easy game, but I still have problems beating level seven.
Reversi - as long as I'm black, I win every single time.
Now, either I've got really good at playing, or the AI sucks. I like to think I'm good.
All free and the adverts don't get in the way of the playing.
I still don't get this "Go" game though. I've read an hour's worth of help on the web, and yet I still stuggle. It's not really a five minute game.
I get this too. The process normally stops when I ask for content, and they have none, and they were expecting me to write that too.

It had overheated.

It's nothing short of criminal.
And you type a lot of horse shit.
"especially when Windows warns you when you start to open a word doc in Outlook"
Um, some of us have taught them to tick the "don't ask again" box. Sorry about that.
Getting macros to run is harder these days. There's an extra click or two. They don't execute automatically any more.
Yep, none of it matters.
Between this PC and Google's servers, there sit 11 other 'computers'. The first 6 belong to my ISP. The last 5 Google.
That's 11 I have no control over.
Read away, my anonymous computers, read away.
Whoa there!

I have JS turned on!
Error: '$.os.android' is null or not an object
hmm. That's because I'm on Windows, using IE.

Horrible piece of work. I don't do much browsing on my phone, but the vast majority of websites work fine on my S2.
No issue with the scrolling!!!
Issues with:
Link clicking ten times.
Slow loading.
No feedback that the link has been clicked.
Where are the stories???
Slashdot used to be such a simple site. One colour, one or two images, no JS needed, super fast server serving easy to parse HTML.
I come here for the insightful, informative and funny comments. Fuck everything else.
Where did it all go wrong?
My good man, all posts on /. sound like that in my head.
Maybe I've missed your point?

Short post as I have no time.
Car industry was ten years when I worked in it. All parts by law had to be availiable for ten years.
It's one of the reasons we (Rover/BMW) sold all our tooling after ten years.
Add me to the list.
I've used CCleaner on other people's PCs. Bleachbit now sounds like a better option.
We do the same on a football forum against a very well known football pundit.
We have a chimpanzee algorithm:
Top four teams in the league always win.
Bottom four teams in the league always lose.
With other teams, the highest in the league always wins.
The chimp wins every season and has all the virtual bananas he can eat. The well known football pundit gets a house, car, food on his plate...
I do the same thing with insurance companies.
Always ask if there's an underwriter in the building. There never is, there will be giggles, they will put you on hold while they grab a coffee from the machine, they will offer a lower price on their return 'from talking to the underwriter'.

You surely mean wallpaper?

Arse. It translates to arse.

And like the AC says, that doesn't happen here.
Get your head down, stay out of everyone's way, do your time,...
I don't think you can tag all of us in Europe the same way.
Subsidised phones are very common for the over twenties in the UK (~70 million people). But we get the same sort of deals as you in Finland.
I swapped provides not so long back. My number was transfered over in just under four hours.
Pay-as-you-go phones can be unlocked after six months, or after a minimal amount of credit has been added.
It's all very, very easy. Just as it should be.
Likely.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the crypto key is the user's password.
Common passwords are just that, common. We all know there's a high chance the password will be password, god, 12345, or querty.
50,000 copies of New.Movie.1080p.XVID.NOGROUP are uploaded.
I would suggest a large number of those copies will match byte for byte.
It is regulated like a bank, in the UK, which is where this story originates.
I wouldn't be so amazed. Most of the jokes were play on words that have been used a million times before.
I wouldn't eat any more of those burgers. The last time I did, they gave me the trotts.
See? The old ones are the best.
You describe your shitty culture, talk about getting away from it, then say you don't want to leave it.
I'm confused.
