Crazy Browser uses the IE browser engine and has all the features of Mozilla. It's pretty easy to use and it gives you a count of how many popups you've not seen, which while pretty pointless, does seem to give you a cerain satisfaction knowing that you're not being inconvenienced.
If the whole world acted upon "an eye for an eye" then everyone would be blind.
I think I've paraphrased a little and I think the original quote comes from Ghandi or someone similar.
In other words, anyone can commit a crime but only a certain few can punish said crime. I know that's a little facetious but in practice it does alleviate anarchy.
yeah, but watching someone crack under the strain. Or becoming recluse and the endless psychological insights that the armchair psychiatrists could perform would be quite compelling. Of course, it couldn't be on the same scale as BB but some sort of filtered content would be interesting. I, for one would watch it over watching a few celebrity wannabees trying to make themselves look interesting.
That is a damn good idea. I'm not sure whether Mars is the right destination just yet though. An ore rich asteroid would be much more profitable. However, I guess you've got to walk before you can run and Mars is a much larger target to aim for than an asteroid. And I guess that the ores etc would be pretty abundant.
What would be good would be to provide the mission with enough exit power to bring back enough ore to pay for a chunk of the return visits.
I work as a consultant on client site and we are both encouraged to intermingle. There isn't us and them it's just the project team, I have made the mistake of thinking someone works for my company when they actually work for the client. This makes for a much easier working atmosphere and productivity goes up.
Granted being a consultant for another firm in place on client site is different to being a contractor but there are similarities.
I don't think so. It's just that gprs networks have been around a little longer than the 3G networks, and as a result have had more applications developed for it. You wait for a few months, we'll be seeing the first killer apps for the 3g phones that are getting widespread adoption.
Then again, none of my other prophesies have come to pass;)
"What remains to be sorted, it seems, is a universal smartcard carrier - at the moment, the SIM card is the only possible authentication device, and it's by no means universal. Most smartcards are credit card sized, and almost no GSM phone now accepts SIM carriers of that size."
Yeah, but have you seen the size of the current crop of 3G phones?!? They'll definitely be able to hold a credit card sized sim.
The cat is irrelevant in this thought experiment. it's the cat's status to the outside world that is important. Schrödinger's hypophesis is centered around the observer not the cat. It's a good way to lay out how things can be both one state and another, supposedly mutually exclusive other state.
Not sure I've made myself clear here. Oh well, I am very hungover.
Don't know. I just thought that trying to compress the ultimate answer to life the universe and everything causing the size of the file to become larger than the original was quite ironic.;)
But not quite. It detects patterns but it does use gzip in a similar manner.
Simphile uses the gzip program to detect patterns in two files. Used to determine things from whether two sonnets where written by shakespeare or whether certain sounds files came from the same source.

We'll just have to hope that the London limousines don't go the way of the blackpool limousines!
Agreed, two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do...

So the discworld must exist then! Fantastic!

Google search for "The Worst Search Engine" comes back with MSN as the third entry. A couple of days back it was the first entry.

There's loads of links, and they wrote words and everything.
We all want to believe that we can code using whitespace don't we?
How is this offtopic? I thought it quite funny! A vibrating screen when showing your pr0n...
Yes it is a giraffe! I hope that answers your question.
