And furthermore, if he was Irish and he got two people to make the phony call to send SWAT to the wrong house, it would be "assault with an assault weapon by proxy by proxy, to be sure to be sure."
I was pretty sure that was the case, but that just emphasises the confusion that can arise when people are talking about scientific names versus regional name, especially when there's multiple regional names.
Another point of difference: cilantro (US) and coriander (Australia). Made recipes confusing for me for a while. "Honey, where's the see-lan-trow?"
In Australia, these things are called Capsicums (no, no-one calls them Capsica:-) ) We reserve the word "pepper" exclusively for that stuff made from peppercorns. Chillis are chillis, not chilli peppers.
Capsicums in the US are called, I believe, bell peppers.

On July 31st The Climate Group convened a 'Climate and Energy Roundtable' bringing together 14 CEOs, UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to discuss how business and government could accelerate the deployment of clean energy and clean technologies and facilitate the necessary transition to a low carbon economy. With BP as the host, the historic event took place in a large tent cooled using biodiesel fuel at a BP facility at the Port of Long Beach.
Those seated at the table included Lord Browne, BP; Chad Holliday, DuPont; Tom King, PG Richard Branson, Virgin; California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, Mike Morris, AEP; Sergey Brin, Google; and James Murdoch, British Sky Broadcasting.
Personally, I'm an Anthropogenic Global Warming skeptic, but I see this as an opportunity for the little guy to get screwed again. Let's just wait for a 10% carbon tax to go on plane tickets. Private planes - no chance of a tax there...
I bought a 50" plasma (Pioneer 507) nearly a year ago, and the only 1080p panels on the market at that time were hideously expensive.
Now there's cheaper 1080p panels available... but... people are being sold "true HD" panels by salesmen who don't take into account things like viewing distance.
At my viewing distance, I can't see the difference between 1080p and 720p, so hanging out for a lower priced 1080p panel would have been a waste of time. Now that there's 42" 1080p panels available, some people must be sitting 3 feet away from the panel, or they're being oversold. I'd guess the latter.
I can assure you that a standard drink is a "real" drink - that's what is served here, though other sizes can also be bought.
That's why I included the link to the guide. You have to read the guide and apply it to your own situation. It is better to be informed than have to rely on guesses.
I did assume the poster was male, but even then, as the guide says, the intake required to put someone over the limit will vary with many factors, such as weight. I knew a 4'9" girl who could basically drink nothing if she was driving. Mind you she was a cheap drunk when not driving...
FWIW (1), the standard beer in my state was (until recently) the 10 oz "pot". I always found them a tad small and preferred pubs that served 15 oz schooners. Link here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_beer You'll have to use the guide with your local serving size.
FWIW (2), I seem to recall pubs here being warned about being too generous with wine servings, though how you pour your own glass (say, at a restaurant) is entirely up to you.
Personally, I hate having to limit myself. 'tis better to get blasted and be in absolutely no doubt that you shouldn't be driving. Even if I'm at home. On the couch. Watching TV.
Most people are unaware of how much alcohol it could take before they reach the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of.05. The following can be used as a GUIDE for most people. However, everyone is different and other factors such as weight, age, medication and whether you have eaten can also affect your BAC.
MEN - 2 standard drinks in the first hour and only one standard drink every hour thereafter.
WOMEN - 1 standard drink in the first hour and only one standard drink every hour thereafter.
What constitutes a 'standard drink' (10 grams of alcohol) is given in the link.
*Alright, unless you're from the UK and drink seriously alcoholic beer named something like the Pickled Bishop by the pint.

Not exactly. Could you re-analogise it please.

It might seem obvious, but I couldn't find the thing in Frontpage to do it. Even clippy was clueless.

I looked (being of a suspicious nature), and you are right. WTF is "Holisticly provide access to ethical communities vis-a-vis client-focused. "
I suspect someone put in some filler text that someone else forgot to take out...
Especially since "Holisticly" is the wrong spelling.
I didn' buy any of the more expensive DRM-free tracks, but I think what Apple has done is reprehensible to potential early adopters like myself.
I demand that Apple pay me, and others like me, ONE MILLION DOLLARS! Or I'll send in the sharks.

That's amazing! Gibbering is a hobby of mine, too! But my wife doesn't understand why I need to drink so much beer to indulge in my hobby.
Although I disagree with what you have written, I appreciate learning a new word. Thankyou.

That's an interesting and thoughtful argument.
I never thought I'd read an interesting and thoughtful argument from someone whose nick is Porpnorber. What does that even mean?
Could be a difference in common names here...

Freaky. It's almost as if this thing that is aware of so much in the world has no self awareness. Or someone screwed up the coding.
Could be worse - the price paid by Zune early adopters is scorn, ridicule and social isolation.

A single beer is unlikely to put you over any limit.* The exception being that new or learner drivers in some locales have a zero alcohol limit.
In my state, the legal limit for general car drivers is 0.05%.
