Actually Britain is a monarchy. It's a constitutional monarchy, but the thugs and cretins in office did away with the constitution quite a while ago, so we're left with a monarchy again.
You're lucky I used up all of my modpoints modding your previous comments down overrated, or else this really would get a big, fat, overrated moderation. Wait a minute... bugger.

Sounds like you've been watching The Matrix again. Remember, in real life, phones don't just appear out of nowhere.
And let's not forget that the reason they were able to shut Nappster was because Nappster used a database from which people downloaded music, and so the people who owned the database were legally responsible for copyright infringement, whilst with the new networks, a system is used whereby the users copy the songs from each other's computers, meaning that the people who run Kazaa are not legally responsible for copyright infringement, which prevents the RIAA from taking them to court, and so makes Kazaa's chances of survival much higher than Nappster's.

Actually, many anti-smoking ads are by heavy smokers, although usually they are whining about how they lost a lung or some other vital organ due to smoking.
Reminds me of this idea I had once to try to patent thermodynamics, so that then I could sue for millions of dollars whenever someone transferred any energy. I really hope that Bill Gates isn't reading this though, I wouldn't want to give him any ideas.

Well, considering some of the other stories on slashdot, you never know.
Yes, but it's still a lot better than standing behind one.

Well they don't, okay?

That's why hovercraft and ELMS systems are so great-they work on all terrain types and they don't break anywhere near as easily as wheels.
My solution is to just manufacture people at the places where they are needed. If it works with proteins it'll work with people.
