Over here (NZ), consumer goods have to last a "suitable length" of time. So (e.g.) if you buy a laptop with a 1-year warranty and it dies after 13 months, you still have right-of-return because laptops should last longer than 13 months.
The government must act quickly to stop this reprehensive tax evasion. I see only one solution: federally-mandated DRM on all cash-registers. We'll use TPM to lock these things right down to the hardware! Of course, there must be no paper backup, otherwise corrupt storekeepers would "accidentally" break their machines so that they can supply the hard-working patriots at the IRS with doctored false receipts.
To implement this, we'll need someone reliable, someone with a proven track record in securing embedded systems... Someone send a briefing paper to Diebold immediately!
Isn't that what Acrobat Reader does? You hit space, and it scrolls you down to the next screen-sized bit of document. Or, you hit pagedown, and it scrolls you exactly one page worth (which takes you to the same place on the next page).
Well, there are two teams, the team that is in and the team that is out. The team that is in goes out except for two of them who go in and the team that is out goes in and tries to get the team that is in out. When all members of the team that is in are out the team that is in is out and the team that was out is now in. When all players have been in and out (or remain not out) the game ends.
...oh, wait, that's cricket. Mornington Crescent is the other game, the confusing one, isn't it?
Eh, I was trying to make a reference to the big email scandal of a while ago, where it turned out that important stuff was being sent (illegally) from email accounts at gwb32.com or georgewbush.com instead of whitehouse.gov. Slashdot coverage.
It is established FACT that Hydrogen is very difficult to contain. It leaks through the tightest seals like they were swiss cheese, and once free it races into the atmosphere and escapes into space.
This is not a major problem when all our hydrogen comes from the deep deposit hydrogen mines in Australia and Canada, but what if this new discovery hearalds an age of wholesail water mining? Do these so-called scientists not realise that we cannot have water without hydrogen? Have they forgotten that humans are 80% water? That water makes our crops grow and our fish swim?? Our life's blood could be literally floating away!
This irresponsible god-gaming may save us from peak oil today, but our grandchildren tomorrow will be facing PEAK WATER if these experiments are allowed to continue!
Grammar looks fine to me. "Rather... be..." is more or less equivalent to "prefer... to be...". e.g. "We're getting a new webserver. They're telling me to get Red Hat, but I would rather it run debian." This sentence is basically the same, just with a big noun phrase and a big subordinate clause (I think that's the term) shoved in the middle.
(whether it's good writing is another question, of course..)
Find a social sport. It's a lot easier to get exercise if you can tweak your competitive spirit and hang around with other people.
e.g. I know someone in her late 30s who recently took up ultimate frisbee. She lost a lot of weight and is loving it.
(sports that involve running around are best. e.g. touch rugby, soccer, netball, ultimate -- I'm not sure what the sporting landscape is like in your part of the world)

I used to have an app-killer image. It was basically an empty JPEG with a header that claimed the image was 1,000,000 x 1,000,000 pixels big.
Crashed practically any app you tried to open it with.
Well, we've dropped the giant ice cube in, so now we just have to watch and see...
Why is this modded "Funny"? The code is under a BSD license. You can do exactly that.
Heck, I'm surprised there's no community project out there to provide an EULA-free Chrome fork.
Nah, Bill Gates has that title sewn up.

Email them to me -- I will look after them for you!
How do you get power from salt?
I'm not trying ot put you down here; I just don't get how this whole thing works.

Nah, all important white house email gets sent through private servers anyway..
i tried to send the money but they didnt know ololu olgelvi. can u send me your bank acct details pls?
If you average it out ... I bet the peak rate is much higher.
Well, since this is Kansas we're talking about:
(ecode doesn't respect whitespace.. bah.)
This happened in New Zealand a little while ago.
A guy found some police tracking devices on his car, ripped them off, and listed them on TradeMe (the local eBay replacement).
Cloaks of invisibility don't rust -- duh! You want a blessed +5 fireproof cloak.
In other news, a giant BSOD was spotted on the roof during the ceremony..
Nintendo?
Ok, they weren't exactly a "tech company" a hundred years ago..
Download WritingPad from the App Store. For my money (ok, the app was free :-) ), it's even better than Apple's text entry method.
Can you translate "Buck a scoop Chinese food" into English first?

One of these days, Slashdot will post a story with the word 'laser' in the summary and people won't tag it "sharks"...
(probably because Slashdotters will all be too busy playing DNF to comment)
