This is true - but if I had my way, when the overdues are printed in the morning the list would be handed over to the "men with sticks dept" who would sort these things out...
I know, I know i'm a *petty* Library Worker..
(plus in my experience it's the *staff* who have the most overdues)
I on the other hand want bells n whistles. I see yer point about video n games - but txt ?
sms/mms whatever is an extremely handy form of communication. do you not use email either ?
I know in North America it hasn't really taken off but in most other places it's really taken off. Councils use sms to send info to young people, our IT bods get txt msgs when there is a problem with the network etc etc.
you shouldn't be using a phone when driving - same as u shouldn't be using yer gameboy either...
a few years ago `comic relief` in addition to the red noses you could buy for your person brought out red noses for your car. A friend went into work that day and his workmate had a car red nose that had a bash in it. "Had an accident?" asked my friend. to which the guy replied "Nah - the bash was in it when I found it"
unfortunately people are cheap. They are also dishonest - do you know how burglaries take place at Xmas time. all those presents lying under trees... it's a tempatation!
As has been stated on here b4 - korea is in the position of having a fairly new telecoms infrastructure with a high rate of urban multi occupancy dwellings. it's easy to have a decent broadband service.
and despite what Tony Blair may think - 512Kb is not broadband... 10Mb and up is....
I buy my net access/tv/phone all from the one company. I don't watch *that* much tv (1-2 hrs a day), or use the phone *that* much. you don't see the cable co offering me a rebate, so why should they be able to charge me if I use a service a lot ?
what? a news agency *selling* news to someone?
whatever next....
i'l think you'll find it's probably cause it was a submission from Hemos (insert cmdrTAco/Michael/cowboy neil/timothy) that it got posted...
lets say for example you are a citizen of a country that isn't the USA - say Russia.
lets say you break the copy protection on a US product, for example an Adobe electronic book format.
you travel to the states and whoops! you get arrested...
The americans are happy to arrest you - but then one of their citizens goes to Australia and the same happens to him. cue all sorts of Shit hitting the fan...
Slashdot Mirror
...mind you if i'd searched properly i'd of found my submission was a dupe too... *double mutter mutter and red face*
yeah the Microsoft/Record Label DRM story on the same technology page at BBC news was a better story I thought... *mutter mutter*
Karma... all spent up.
>>blowing chips to give increased performance...
i'm biting my tongue here people.
bj jokes a plenty

err maybe it's the big colour(4096) screen, the 12MB memory, the java etc etc..
i'm currently looking to upgrade my mobile and this could swing it...
you can keep snake...
I want Crystal Castles/tempest etc etc
now why are people complaining about this ? as i've said in other posts; you shouldn't be driving and talking/Txt'ng/gaming.
plenty of people commute by Bus/train/tram so if we want to play games let us.
I know here in the UK BT have taken away a lot of phone boxes cause the demand isn't there due to cell phones.
dunno what superman will do tho...

surely even an unwatchable quality copy would of helped their case ?
"You can't trust pirates - look at the poor quality of this copy"
("trainspotting ? it's all in scotch ain't it" for our uk vhs viewers...)
"You can't trust pirates - I paid for two towers and got some lo-fi crappy manga cartoon"
There are two arguments the RIAA are putting across -
1) Good quality copies are available - this means people won't buy the real thing. give us better copy protection/drm
2) The copies available are crap - buy the real thing/go to the cinema.
either way I still think he should of bought it.
the point is he's a *movie executive*
not just a punter wanting to see the movie...
taking this copy home may of helped the movie industries PR about pirates/DRM etc...
I must admit I watched the spiderman screener b4 it came out. it amused us at 4am off our tits...
(people standing up, coughing etc)
Still went to the cinema to see it "properly" though.
I agree. Surely bringing a crappy lo-fi copy back to the states B4 the release date would of helped their argument. bit daft not to buy it...
>> side note: linux licks balls
really ?
What all releases ?
or just the crack-ho's build.
Now I know what open sores is all about...
what happened to that million aol discs that was kicking about ? forward em to this guy.
mind u lots of things are morally dodgy yet make lots of money - look at fags'n'booze.
(BTW. all you 'phobic colonists know fag is something different in the uk ? right ?)
>>oh shit man you are killing the simpsons. seriously, i liked the simpsons better before it was popular and had a large following.
replace simpsons with linux/House Music/tattoos/Piercings/whatever...
yes yes, you are *so* cool...
you were into everything first and we are all lamers... congrats.
my girlfriend got mail asking if she wanted her penis extended ? this worried me, as we've yet to sleep together... what should I do ?

yes it is your life - but it's *their* company. If you don't like their rules you can be sure they can find someone else to fill your sandals.

what about smoking crack on company time ? would u agree with that ? what's that?, it would slow down productivity ? you dont say...
every lunchtime our corporate network slows right down due to people checking email and you can't get a thing done. (like trying to read
I agree it is an infringement on your liberties - but at the end of the day people take the piss.
I know I do and i'm not that bad...
try having an E as well after consuming several V+RB....
now that *really* gives you the palpers...
a p4 19.8ghz ?
where do I sign up.....
(and can u clock em ?)
It was broadband until they'd looked at the first 5 gig. then the speed slowed down to 300 baud...
you must work somewhere open-plan, cause you couldn't get a cessna in here...
plus the 802.11b interferes with the navigation tools...
Didn't you read about the Hacker-Ho's down at defcon X...
mind you an iMac probably isn't l33t enough for them - In my day it was how good yer patter/big yer wallet/fast yer car was.
Nowadays it's how quickly you can root their box...
