My favourite line in that song is "traffic jam, when you're already late" which IS ironic but only if you are a town planner on your way to a meeting to discuss traffic congestion.
As I understand it they are within the bounds of CO2, the problem is to get that efficiency it burns hot which is great for CO2/mile but also causes the Nitrogen in the air to burn producing NOx.
That's the problem, a hot efficient engine pumps out too much of another pollutant that the UK isn't focussed on. Ex ministers are today saying that the focus on CO2 from the 90s when these regulations came in was a mistake.
What I find fascinating with this is that one day there was born a baby with blue eyes (as a result of this mutation). The reason we have blue eyes etc today is because the parents of that child didn't see that difference, one never seen before, as a problem and abandon it. It really shows how the microscopic can sometimes have a very real impact on the macroscopic. Plus I'd assume this means that everyone with blue eyes, or with that trait in their family, have a common ancestor.
Really? Can we get rides on regular cruise missiles now?
That would be fun. For a while, at least.
Well we can, sort of, if you think that the cruise missiles today are really just small jet aircraft and we can quite easily ride in large jet aircraft today from any airport.
Actually there is one that's ironic...
A traffic jam, when you're already late, IS ironic if (and only if) you are a town planner on your way to a meeting to discus traffic congestion.
Actually as of 1st July 2010 the EU has enforced an opt out (whilst roaming in the EU) cap of 50 EURO. You have to ask to have this removed and if you don't that's the most you can be charged for a given month whilst roaming. The cap you're probably thinking of is on the charges that can be levied rather than any cap on consumption and you're right that's not yet there on data.
Vodafone have the same cap I believe (500Mb). It got introduced in the back end of last year and I missed it completely until the 30 days had passed so am stuck, for now...
I saved more than the fee for joining on my first trip when compared to any other supermarket. If you just buy an Xbox at the moment I think they're cheaper than buying online by more than the membership.
Having worked by Heathrow Airport back in 2000/01 I can tell you that with our wonderful triple glazing we heard no planes >> Concorde which was a good 50% or so louder and pretty deafening at take off if you were outside. I'm surprised you felt the 747 louder. I do miss that regular rumble that used to announce it was (whatever time it was that they took off that escapes me now but definitiely indicated it was time for tea and a biscuit)
Maybe that's the key to this working (living in a bad neighbourhood).
That way you're far more likely to die sooner and therefore you need FAR less storage. In some areas if I believe the movies you'd need less than 20mins of storage before it was game over...
If that's the case then these already exists in a simple camcorder.
In Melvyn Bragg's "Adventure of English", it is observed that Winston Churchill's speech,
"we shall fight them on the beaches, we shall fight in the streets, we shall never surrender",
all the words can be traced back to old English, except for "surrender", which can be traced back to old French
(n.b. I actually quite like the French but find the above overridingly funny)
Absolutely absolutely absolutely agree.
I used the Allen Carr method which combines some redumentary psycological techniques (repeating the same phrase in close succession) along with explaining why smoking provides no benefit, topped off with a bit of expectation setting and it worked brillilantly.
Every time I cut down I would just crave more and be more miserable. This way I was really positive and didn't miss them at all (2 years ago)
Audio book is on Amazon (and no I have nothing to do with the organisation).
Serious? If it's that important to have GREAT presentations then you use the industry standard for business which is the former Big Blue Thinkpad. Do you seriously want a load of sales and marketing guys running around with the ability to manage services? You pay for these machines because they are locked not so you can train your customer facing users.
Oh and Drum and Bass + Guitar and Vocals = Pendulum FTW (or fail depending upon your view point)
When out drinking on can be: on the piss out on the lash on the badger on the raz having a couple of sherberts
and many many more...
Note that I've been all over the country and some of the slang is very localised. If anyone can contribute some more to the education of the site in expressing their state of disrepair...
I can understand your comments however, without meaning any offense, I assume you're from the US.
In the UK I've found that access to politicians, whilst restricted, is certainly within reach for the 'man in the street'. It's true I'm what would be considered politically active. I've attended party conferences (not as a member) on a number of occassions and if you do then you can go to 'fringe' meetings where you get senior politicians from both side giving speeches and more importantly debating with the audience. I'm neither rich nor famous and have met and spoken to two sitting prime ministers (also also accidentaly knocked a foreign minister flying) as well as many other senior figures. You can meet them but you have to make a little effort.
In actual fact the cost to build the car is significantly less than its price as the oft quoted 4m figure includes the R&D for creating a 250mph car (actually the spec required a 400kph car).
VW, through Bugatti, also have the prestige as mentioned before of the worlds fastest road car. How much is that worth?

I appreciate some of what you're saying but how is today's society any worse than yesterday's (or I guess any better than tomorrows?)

Excellent so it's only a 1500km I need for me to get wireless power from power line emissions :)

What is a spectrum, what is a red one, why is it red, and why is it so frequently linked with quasars?
What the hell is a quasar?
