    Bullshit. Curvy cucumber (as any other deformed vegetables) must be sold as Class II vegetables, as described in the regulation concerning quality standards of cucumbers (PDF).

    The class system for vegetables is basicly for large restaurants etc. which want standard quality raw materials.

    To what, exactly? I get the same error. My console says:

    Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.4.1_02

    Interesting, I have 1.4.1_01. Maybe you should downgrade then :)

    I thought that first minute of the call was free in the US. Or is it just for land line?

    You are right. It happened in Finland already. Young people (like me) don't have landline at all, so they call to your cell phone. Just yesterday some prick called me about some f*cking cd-rom dictionary! You don't have no idea how irratating it is when you are in bus or just paying your shoppings and then some idiot calls you and tries to sell you magazine subscriptions or something. Christ I hate telemarketers.

  16. Re:Silly Europe on Europe Heads for the Moon in July · · Score: 1

    America has the most free press in the world. There is absolutely nothing state controlled about it.

    Actually the US ranks 17th in press freedom. There are 13 European countries with more press freedom than the US:

    A quote from the article:
    "The poor ranking of the United States (17th) is mainly because of the number of journalists arrested or imprisoned there."

    The lander is actually European, the orbiter is American.

  18. Re:Still on Hellish Vision of Mars Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Ice also sublimates, that's why your ice evaporate in the freezer and water on Mars eventualy escapes into the atmosphere, is broken by ultraviolet into lighter hydrogen and oxygen and escapes into space.

    Why the gas escapes into space? Shouldn't the gravity of Mars keep the gasses in atmosphere?
