The BBC, BBC4 specifically, had a show about Scrabble champions. The link should give you enough to go on if you want to find somewhere to download the show. Anyway, it was very interesting to see how soulless the game became once you got to the championship levels - it was all about memorising huge lists of words. There was no care for vocabulary or the use of words, it was just memory and anagrams. It was very far removed from the game that most of us play.
If I buy a piece of hardware I must be able to do with it anything I want. Someone took it to mean that if I own a gun then by my logic I can kill without repercussions, which is of-course not doing whatever I want just with hardware but also with someone's life, so they are trying to be cute for the sake of an argument.
I actually assumed they meant something like, say, converting a semi-automatic rifle into a fully automatic rifle, which would actually be more akin to the idea of modifying hardware in a way that is in some way forbidden. Do you believe you should be allowed to modify rifles in that way?
While that's what happened in the film, that's not what happened in real life. According to Wikipedia he never had visual hallucinations, and only heard voices from 1964 onwards, 5 years after being diagnosed with schizophrenia.
I don't want internet service on my cellphone.
EVEN IF IT WAS FREE, I wouldn't want it.
In fact, the only 3 things I want on my cellphone, is voice calling, voice mail, and text services.
Funny, a while ago I'd have said the same thing about a camera, web access and GPS in my phone. These days, I appreciate the value of having a camera (even a fairly poor one) with me at all times; I love having web access so I can read BBC News, Slashdot, Facebook, BBC Sport, and anything else at any time; I certainly value the GPS and Google Maps, particularly when I got lost driving back from business on the other side of the country.
Sometimes people don't realise how useful things can be until they get to use them. You might find internet service on your phone more useful than you think, and people might just as well find Broadband more useful than they think.
OK, your tax calculations are at least potentially correct, assuming the rate for the band between $50k and $75 is 30% i.e. that additional 25k results in an additional $7.5k tax. I'm not sure where you conclude that someone's poor financial management is the government's fault. Before the raise, their take home pay was $42.5k, after the raise it's $60k. If the person in question didn't increase their outgoings in excess of $17.5k there wouldn't be a problem.
This has nothing to do with tax bands or the government, and everything to do with bad budgeting.
How you got to +5 insightful with this is beyond me.
That reminds me of when an American interviewer was interviewing a black British guy - she called him African-American, he corrected her, but she couldn't stop doing it.
That was Kriss Akabusi, a gold medal winning athlete. I'm afraid the best link I can find is at everything2. Here you go.
No, because no interbreeding has taken place. A Down's syndrome child is produced by two humans, not two different species. Just because the offspring is infertile in that case, doesn't mean it ceases to be human. This doesn't have anything to do with what the GP posted, as he was specifically talking about the results of interbreeding.
This could be neatly explained with Venn diagrams, to show the sets involved.
I stand corrected - in the book they did indeed do it with the LHC. However, in real life, the LHC can't produce antimatter as described in the book, which was more the point that I was trying to make. There's nothing scary about the real LHC, and certainly nothing that you could draw from a Dan Brown book.
MP3 players, perhaps? They've been around a while, since nearly 1990 in fact, so I'm surprised you've not heard of them. I'm not aware of any portable music player that can play FLACs. Hell, there's barely any that can play Ogg Vorbis.
Just to point out, if you RTFP (post) mattytee doesn't say it's ok, he says it's "hinky." Which might NOT mean okay. I admit, I don't know what it ACTUALLY means, so it might mean "good." I don't think I'd enjoy being called "hinky" so it doesn't sound like he's saying "You can opt out, so it's cool."
Marshal Biggs: It's hinky, Sam. I mean, this guy is a college graduate. He became a doctor. I mean, he ain't gonna go through here with all this security. Hinky. Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard: Biggs, what does that mean, hinky? Marshal Biggs: I don't know. Strange. Weird. Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard: Well, why don't you say strange or weird? I mean hinky, that has no meaning. Marshal Biggs: Well, we say hinky. Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard: I don't want you guys using words with no meaning.
I used to do this for one reason and another, but one thing I was never sure of was whether the DNS requests go via the SSH proxy as well. I've a feeling they don't, and are done using the computer's regular DNS lookup. So while you may be able to look at OHNOESILLEGALSITE.com once the HTTP requests are going through the SSH tunnel, the DNS request that got you the IP address for OHNOESILLEGALSITE.com in the first place will be answered by the local DNS server and logged there.

If they were, indeed, weapons, I'm sure the military will come out and say so - "Look what we found on the bodies! See!" - to try to save some face...

Check out the big brain on Brett! You're a smart motherfucker. That's right. The metric system.
I'd say you draw the line somewhere around the age of consent.

No, Valve won't go after you for trying to run it under a non-admin account. They'll go after you for saying you'll run a cracked version.
That's what Epic have done - UT2k3 used Ogg, and I assume the more recent UT games do as well. Link at the Vorbis site.

6502 doesn't have jle. It has bcs (branch carry set/greater or equal) and bcc (branch carry clear/less than).
Right now I have WTF.
Or DVDJon can do it for you.
If you're sticking an SD card in a slot loading disc drive, then it's not the console that has the problem.
So if humans are as accurate, why are you (I'm in the UK) using electronic counters?

How about the woman who managed to perform a rough and ready Ceasarian section on herself. That's pretty hardcore.

Eh? All that happened in Angels and Demons was that they had found a way to create antimatter, which is entirely different.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?
