And in the same way how do you tackle the problem of getting media from one end to the other when both are NAT'ed? Not everyone knows how to or wants to configure port forwarding on their NAT box just for this. Skype (I think) handles it by using another non-NAT'ed Skype user as a trusted intermediary, both ends open their media to this middleman who patches the streams together.
There is a market for boxes that do a similar thing, and on these boxes you can get other services, and even monitor packet usage for individual users and charge accordingly.
British beer can hardly be classed as "shit".
You've obviously only sampled the nasty pop lagers that the big corporate brewers churn out.
If you dig around a bit you can find some excellent brews like Hobgoblin, FireCrest, Spitfire, London Pride.. the list is endless.
Thanks to organisations like camra the small superior breweries should be here to stay too...
Americans don't have free dental care like we do in the U.K. Therefore the condition of teeth becomes an indication of wealth (and status). E.g. if you're poor you can't afford to have nice teeth.
While us Brits don't have this association, so its not AS important to make your teeth look perfect..
Again, the niggers. And if it weren't for American medicine, you would be trying to heal each other with maple leaves and living in igloos. Eat shit you fucking communist.
Yes ladies and gents, this guy lives in the most "advanced" and "powerful" country in the world... The country where all they seem to know about the rest of the world is stereotypes they learn from their TV shows and Hollywood films. The country that brands any other country that doesn't share its views or have an individualist capiltalist society exactly the same as it has "communist".
Wouldn't be so frustrating for the rest of us if these pig ignorant people weren't pilfering away a quarter of the world's resources while they sit scratching their fat asses watching Friends and wallowing in their self important air of smugness.
Win95 wasn't all that ground breaking if you'd been using Amiga Workbench for years before. Most of the stuff 95 did was already done, and 95 still didn't do some of it as well (e.g. pre-emptive multitasking).
I didn't really take windows seriously until Win2K, which is simply incomparable with any of the 9X/Me versions.
Excellent ideas; but while we have a supply of oil, and the oil companies control politicians, I can't see the oil companies letting the politicians even think about implementing (or even putting money into researching) anything like this.
Agreed... this fear of being sued is why in some of the new cars that can reverse-park themselves, you are still the one that has to do the braking, they just steer.
I also saw a new prototype BMW on TV, that would keep up with the car in front in traffic jams, but as soon as something unexpected happened, like that car in front changed lanes, it would transfer control back to the driver. Again, I guess to avoid BMW taking the blame if you rear-end someone.
The fact is the self parking car COULD brake for itself, and the BMW COULD handle the situation where the car it is following changes lanes...but the manufacturer doesn't dare let it take that much responsibility.
I believe this alone will hold back development of automated cars to such an extent that we won't see anything significant in our lifetimes at least.

I think post sums up why people like the original poster have problems with America.
OK whoever posted the original was overexaggerating, off the mark and needed a decent reply. Is this the best you can come up with?! Waffling on about how the world (somewhat inexplicably) owes America a huge favour, and owes its technological prowess to Americans without any proof, reasoning or even correct grammar just fuels anti American sentiment.
OK this post and its parent are completely offtopic but I had to reply..
Imagine Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales ceding from the United Kingdom of Britannia and joining a reuinified Celtic nation ruled from Hibernia.
Well seeing as England as a country has a GVA of around 4 times Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales combined, i'd say it wouldn't be too worried;)
Remember that we Celts have very long memories
This mentatily annoys the hell out of me - all of mankind has been persecuted, tortured and treated unfairly at some time in history. The original inhabitants of England had their fair share of massacre and enslavery from the Romans. Holding grudges isn't productive for anyone.
I don't see Bill as being an amazing person for this. I feel that for someone who has that much incredible, unecessary wealth it is almost their duty to redistribute a portion of it to poorer nations, and to give to charities.
On economy of scale, I reckon my comparatively pitiful monthly donation to charity is equivalent to his.
In any case if Americans fight so badly why did you need us to bail your sorry ass out of WW1 and WW2
IIRC, WW2 ended when Japan surrendered, and this was partly due to the US dropping nuclear bombs, but mainly due to the fact that Russia declared war on Japan a few weeks later...
So don't be thinking that the U.S. single handedly came along and saved the world, there were others involved in the end of the war too...
So evolution is statistically impossible, but Noah managed to get two animals of every species on his wooden ark and survive the greatest flood the earth has ever seen. And no evidence of this flood has ever been found.

Definitely, I have a blue car and it always seems to have a splodge of shit on it somewhere.
I have a theory that the blue may look like water to them. Maybe they like to go in water for some weird evolutionary reason?

Thats my theory anyway.

Win9X borrowed a lot from Workbench. I was just pointing out that its hardly groundbreaking when what it did had been done before.
;)
It only seemed "groundbreaking" because Win3.X was so hilariously crap
Win95 wasn't all that ground breaking if you'd been using Amiga Workbench for years before. Most of the stuff 95 did was already done, and 95 still didn't do some of it as well (e.g. pre-emptive multitasking).

At the end it looks like they are doing a rendition of "The Haka" - the dance that the All Blacks do prior to a rubgy game...

And that makes more sense to you than evolution?
Crazy, the lot of you.
