From your link, it appears that the fabric 'withstands a running chainsaw' by having long lengths of kevlar thread clog the chainsaw's sprockets and thus halting the chainsaw. That is pushing the definition, to my mind.
If, since I can't force you to work weekends, is it ok if I copy the plumbing you did on someone else's bathroom if i supply the materials and labour? Or will that cost you money, somehow?
If you want to work out some more figures, how about the car sales lost due to inferior anti-theft devices? There are 15 year-olds out there that have stolen _dozens_ of cars. By music industry logic that is over a quarter of a million pounds that the teenager would have spent on cars if he hadn't been able to steal them.
Is my tinfoil hat on too tightly? The thought crosses my mind that it is the music/film industry selling all these 'pirated' discs so that they avoid paying percentages/taxes etc.
Curiously, Virgin's traffic policy page uses 'music files' as a measure of capacity eg 'Even if a Broadband: Size L user has their speed temporarily traffic managed, they can still download over 5,500 music files per day.'
I would like a laptop with epaper where the keyboard is (and doing virtual keyboard with the touch sensitiveness) and a normal lcd for the supertuxcart, dooms etc. And hookers. And blackjack.
Duh! The mirrors are *made* from dust! Just keep building until the moon is a disco ball, hit it with the secret orbital defence lasers and play Bee Gees vinyl. Hang on, I think I have got sidetracked.
Maybe the guy should let it keep rebooting? _Some_ of the EvilGovConpiracyProtocol packets will be getting through, and once all the results of scanning all the hardware and data on his network have been passed to the TotalitaranDatabase servers there will be less data sent and the router will stop acting up and will function ok ( until the daily update is sent out. But that should be a much shorter burst of messages).
"Ooooh!, This is interesting, Bob. Every bus except 003729 shows real bad air quality and big queues of traffic. Pull it in and check out the sensor pack".......
"Hi Jeff! I am at the depot, and it seems that bus 003729 had its sensor pack attached to the FRONT bumper of the bus by mistake!"
The gov should encourage distribution of child porn on P2P! The $multi-trillions of losses that the porn producers would suffer due to pirates copying their works over the intarwebs would put them out of business.

You would think that a repair would be even cheaper for just replacing a piece of injection moulded plastic on a car, but you would be wrong.

..the tuning and performance guys will develop cams and engine management kits that trade max horsepower for economy?
6.5 million customers at 10 pounds a month is 780 million pounds per year.

Only because i was AFK (checking lawn for kids).
Hah! I was going to correct it too, but i used actual 'remembering'! Old School FTW!
Which young boys thing? NAMBLA?
Pah. They traffic shape the crap out of your connection http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html/internet/traffic.html if you try to download more than 300Mb (good news for the likes of damn small linux)

Ah! Alice deals in drugs! I have been wondering for years why she runs all that crypto. Now it all makes sense.
Each axis? Really? Not just one axis?

Ok! I'll just .. erm. Erm. Well, if I, er...
Hang on, let me just think a minute..
Tracking Schroedinger's cat should be easy as it is always in its box.

Only once EvilTsa shaves off his goatee beard.
Bad puns like that make me blush.
Now listen here, sonny. Both 'Stig of the dump' and 'The Wombles' predate 19fucking70, as do I. Now get OFF my DAMN lawn and get a haircut.
Sounds interesting! And there is one of these cut-down bare-bones minimalistic machines on ebay for just £389 plus postage.

Squandering the money would be spending it on things other than games and hookers, surely?
