i clearly remember in school being taught that if a word was spelt with an e on the end, you pronounced the vowel as you would say the letter. EE instead of eh. therefore metre, with the e on the end is meet-r
yeah, that'd be fine if there were some logic connecting all the imperial measurements. if i want to go from inches to feet, i divide by a constant. from feet to yards, i divide by another constant. from yards to miles, i dived by yet another constant. there's non of that crap with metric. just simple units. if the unit it too big or too small, multiply or divide by 10, the SI way.
there is NO logic using a system of measurement based on how long some kings foot was hundreds of years ago

But I cannot fathom why anyone would want to send text messages rather than TALK on their PHONES 200 free sms per month = mass savings if you stop making stupid little 30 second phone calls
or browse the web on a crappy display with no mouse or proper keyboard. Oh, so you carry a 21" TFT, mouse and keyboard around in your pocket hey? didnt think so. doesnt matter to you though since you probably dont leave the house much. people dont choose to use these technologies for no reason dumbass

...mod was a moron. probably assumed it was a jab at americans
Then I instruct people to go to Windows Update every day, their virus update every day, and Spyware check every week. 90% of lusers would keep that up for about 3 days, then forget about it. you need to make all of that automated. Automatic windows update, automatic virus def updates and scheduled spyware scans.
was the sega master system version really, really easy (like 10x easier than any of the other versions)? i remember making it so far as a kid, but after playing the emulated arcade/snes versions it seems improbable i was that good at that age
It seems like all the other browsers have been catching up to IE since they can barely render pages made for IE A troll if ever i saw one. IE fails to render w3c compliant html (ie. REAL html). a page "made for IE" is a page made with broken html. if its broken html format isnt documented, how do you expect it to be supported? its like complaining about OO.org not supporting.doc 100%
wouldnt that mean that all your electronic devices would have to have step down transformers in them in case they get plugged into a 240v socket? thats certianly not the case currently, bring a few of your applicances over here and try plugging them in with only a plug convertor and watch them smoke
there was no installer when i last installed it. i think anyone who wants to really know how their system works deep down should do at least one gentoo install. it increased my understanding of why things are done they way they are a whole lot
I have a sony digital camera which is excellent but the memory sticks are shiat. They hold so few photos. My camera on 3.2 megapixel gets about 80 photos on a 128mb stick. My mates olympus gets 200 plus on the same settings and card size.
read what you just wrote again, feeling stupid yet? let me ask you a question, which weighs more, a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?
your mates olympus is getting more shots into 128mb because they are either lower res or more lossy.
I mean that. I talk to people all the time whose computers are hosed, but they can't format and reinstall because they couldn't figure out how to write their god damned crap to a CD.
you really think someone that dumb should be allowed to format their pc and install their fucking OS?!?
Plus, google doesn't have time to police the millions of free email accounts it's going to have no, but they will have time to check the few thousand that use > 50% of that storage in just a few weeks

I want eBay to ban sniping at the last second.

for interests sake, if you get your a CF card full of photos from you card and put them on your friends memory stick, is it full?
hahaha.. thats hilarious! wait, no! its not! what is it with these mods?
