Firstly, it's not a bicyle since it has an engine and no pedals. Secondly, check out what Peugeot's hdi engine did back in 2000. Yes, that's 80 MPG under normal extra-urban driving conditions, or about 4 times the mileage of your average gringo gas-guzzler or yank-tank.
Obviously it's dependent on languages having the same features, which is the case for VB.Net and C#. There may be one or two minor differences but for the most part I'd imagine they compile to identical MSIL.
Most people don't have the time or inclination to set up their own hosting with photo sharing software and all the hassle that comes with it. It's much easier to use some thing like flickr.
I host my photos using Apache::Gallery on a linux box at home. There are no hosting charges and bandwith isn't much of an issue since only family and friends view them;)
£15 for 2meg/256 with basic cable TV package thrown in. It was perfect until Telewest got bought up by NTL. I expect the general level of service to go downhill from here:-(
Pick a language and learn it to your best: I would suggest a language like Java or C, C++.
I would say learn 3 or 4 different kinds of languages, e.g. C and C++, either Java or C#, and one of Perl/Python/Ruby (plus something like oCaml or lisp if you're a real geek) then develop some useful transferrable skills like XML/DOM/SAX, SQL/RDBMS, TCP/IP, HTML/Javascript, Unix, etc. That way you have a good range of skills that you can apply to a good range of development projects, and you will be more valuable to an employer as a result.
Going into great depth in one particular area or learning a bunch of specialised "frameworks" is probably going to decrease your chance of doing something different in the near future, unless of course you're absolutely certain that you're doing exactly what you want to do.

Asking for effective immigration enforcement does not equal racism.
Who said anything about immigration? The building of walls and sending troops to the border is just a publicity stunt that will not address the underlying problems. The problem I'm talking about is the racism shown to the mexican population in the US. They are demonised and discriminated against despite them propping up the economy by doing the jobs that white people don't want to do for low wages. I don't know any other country on friendly terms with their neighbours that treat them as second-rate citizens and with such contempt.
He was talking about the *ideal* of capitalism, not the reality. The ideal is most definitely "get as much as you can and screw everyone else", in reality you usually end up helping other people in an effort to grab what you can for yourself (people need other people to get rich).
Now you tell me how that "matters more". It has nothing to do with which action is more important, or more harmful. People around the world simply take pleasure in ragging on the Americans. It's like the way Americans used to talk about blacks back in the 50's. "Damn n***rs causing all our problems. It's their fault wer don't have jobs. Uneducated savages. They keep murdering people. Criminals.".
Substitute blacks for Mexicans and you just wrote a good analysis of what's happening *today*.
Every culture, every country, needs someone to demonize. Most of the world has picked the USA to fill that role. The only unusual thing here is that most Americans have picked their own government to play that role for them.
Is that in the same way that the US demonises countries like Iraq? Your argument is like saying the big bully kid in the playground is being demonised because the other kids whisper to each other that he keeps beating kids up.
"British English" is "the English language as spoken or written in the British Isles; esp. the forms of English usual in Great Britain, as contrasted with those characteristic of the U.S.A. or other English-speaking countries." [The OED under "British"]
There's no need to use the term "British English" unless you're differentiating against some other form of English. English by definition is from England. That's not the case for American English or any other bastardised version of the language.
By the same stroke, "USA" != "America". USA is just a country in North America. America refers to the whole of North and South America as I understand it.

Sssh! You just discovered the plot of the Hostel sequel!
What's to stop you buying one of these and installing your own firmware? Say, OpenWRT or DD-WRT?
You had floppy drives!? My system had a cassette drive!
That's *lovely* but unfortunately completely useless ;)
I'm not going to get into an argument with a complete fucktard. Why don't you go fuck yourself instead.

Would it be arrogant to assume that US/UK people make up the largest slice of people here? If not, MPG is a sensible unit to use. You can easily convert it to Km/l using google: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=3145+miles+per+ga llon+in+kilometers+per+liter

I don't know about binary newsgroups or IPv6.

MSIL is machine code for a virtual machine rather than a physical one. This distinction makes no difference to the point the GP was making.

"Felony" doesn't even mean anything in Europe.

Bah, what's all this coffee, coffee, coffee? Surely you're mispelling "tea" a lot. Tea has half the caffeine so you can drink twice as much.
