Here in the UK the chip card is combined with a PIN number. If you don't know the PIN then programming up a copy card with a stolen card number is pretty useless.
What? You mean I'll have to have TWO different types of burner to keep my pirate game empire alive? That mean's I'll have to charge more for the games, which could damage sales.
It might be fast, but could it keep up with monitoring all the errors and dupes on/.?;P

I'd say that's pretty reasonable. The thing is it's just THERE. Instantly. If you wan't to see whats on TV next, just hit the text button and you've got it. Subtitles, blam, they're there!
It's so simple and effective to use. I was hugely dissapointed when the text packed up on my TV recently.:(
We have something like that in the UK called Shazam.
Just dial a number on your mobile phone, hold it up to the speaker while the tune you want ID'd is playing and it'll SMS you back shortly with the track name and artist. You can then log onto the Shazam website, enter in your mobile number and you get a list of all the tracks you've searched for along with links to an Amazon search so you can purchase the track.
Pretty good for ID'ing tracks when you're in a club and can't get to the DJ to hassle him.:P
Very true. I'm having to do this on a daily basis. Without the floppy Win 2k/XP would never recognise the RAID/SATA controller, well not without making a customized installation CD. Why hadn't I thought of doing that before!:P

I think you'll be OK. They did say TOP scientists. ;) :P

:P
That would be riddance.

Or how about Gimps?

Damn you Microsoft!
If you tried quaffing, chugging, and gulping the beers that I drink, you'd be laying on your face in 15 minutes.
:P
Fantastic! Where can I get these beers?
You sip beer? What are you a girl or something? Beer is for quaffing, chugging and gulping! ;D
Nah, you'll probably only get 5 minutes out of it. ;)
Man, you took the words right outta my mouth!
It's a line from the original film.

Ever thought you might have a shit computer? Considering all the thousands of other people out there running it just fine...
;P
No, of course not. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with your machine.
Worked flawlessly for me on my 9800 Pro SE with the DOOM-HOTFIX drivers that ATI released at roughly the same time as Doom 3.
Yes, yes we do.
Does it anywhere say Broadband Internet connection?
No.
Thanks for listening.

What's the matter, having problems with google?
People who say Legos make Baby Jesus cry. ;_;
:P
Ok, so it's not *Baby* Jesus, but it's the closest I could find.
Perhaps the Uni places caps, blocks ports or kicks people out for doing illicit things with their net connection.
A student with their own connection can get on and download mp3s galore with no fear of being kicked out.
Perhaps.

Not very useful if you're after a map for Christchurch UK where I live. :P :P
All very well if you live in an area thats had the local loop unbundled. The majority of the UK (excluding London) doesn't have that luxury. :(
I just hope they don't slap a cap on my 750k cable like most ADSL providers seem to be doing.
