But isn't the 1, 2, 3 numbering system of Arabic origin
Sorry, I figured the wording would be a problem with that.
I didn't mean numbers that represent a specific amount of object such as 1, 2, 49, 608, pi.
I meant number grammatically. I can't remeber the term for it.
I'll try to clarify with and example.
English has singular and plural. Singular for one object. Plural for more than one object. 1 lion. 2 lions. 3 lions. etc
Arabic has singular, dual, and plural. Singular for one object. Dual for two objects, Plural for three or more objects. Since I can't type Arabic or Cherokee (nor read) I'll make up a suffix to simulate this in English.
Let's say you add and "T" to make a noun dual. The Liont would mean Two Lions.
Dyirbal (an Australian Aboriginal language) has four genders. Masculine, feminine, neuter, and edible non-flesh food.
Cherokee and Arabic has three numbers. Not like 1, 2, 3; but, singular, dual, and plural.
Chinese as a spoken language does not exist. Each "dialect" (not an entirely acurate word depending on its intention) is mutually uninteligible when spoken. Hence, may be considered seperate languages. The term dialect is applied to them because they share a common writing system. A Mandarin speaker will not understand a Cantonese speaker, but can read a message from the Cantonese speaker easily.
If you treat zero and none as synonymous, then it can be either singular or plural. It is usually plural, unless context indicates that it should be singular.
This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.
You should carry two of those because as a wise philosopher (Jack Handey) once said:
Always carry two bags of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these bags."

probably because the Hong Kong Triads don't realize that Americans want the originals.
Why doesn't someone send them an email?

They'll probably insert a Gungan (Jar-Jar's race) into one of the scenes just to show that they helped the Rebel Alliance. Maybe replace Lando's copilot in the Mellinium Falcon in Return of the Jedi.
The increased variation enhances the ability to discriminate between colors in the red-orange spectrum, particularly among females, because they have two copies of the X chromosome. Previous research in other primates has suggested that enhanced red vision in females allows them to better distinguish between berries and foliage when they are gathering food.

But for sheer wrongness. Train wreck style, can't stop watching kind of movie that I found to be among the most profoundly disturbing movie I've ever seen it would have to be (a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100469/">The Reflecting Skin.
I would classify it as a good movie, just disturbing. Very disturbing.

Hope that helps somewhat.
Also the reason why you don't get hung for software "piracy".
If the companies thought they could get away with it, they would probably try. Especially the RIAA & MPAA.
And the pirates would probably be hung outside Blockbuster or Best Buy as a lesson to others.

This might have some relevance.

You're thinking of the the Thermians

That's how.
One of the first words my two year old son picked up was no
That makes sense. Most children probably hear that word more frequently than any other word, so they pick it up quicker.
Child about to stick fork into light socket. Parent yells "no".
Child about to feed oatmeal to VCR. Parent tells them "no".
Child wants another piece of candy. Parent tells them "no" or maybe "yes", but commonly "no".
Child punches dog in the face. Parent tells the child "no", and maybe dog bites.
Any number of other scenarios in which the child is about to do something dangerous, stupid, or irritating. Parent tells them "no".
Your sig reads "Your mammas flamebait"
I reckon you mean "Your mamma's flamebait."
Have a nice day.
"eYes : now with DIGITAL zoom."
So would the mac version be "iEyes"?
You mean like this disclaimer?

competating
probably a typographical error, but what is this word supposed to be?
How much explosives will this thing really be able to pack. Maybe that would work if the fuel source was potent eanough.
This thing would be great for selling drugs!!
No, great for delivering them. How's the machine going to demand payment?

if the Dems had put up a better candidate
Here's one of the Conspiranoia theories.
The Clinton faction didn't want a good candidate, because then if the Dems win, then Hillary Clinton would not be able to run in 2008.
For a momment I thought HookedOnPhonics(683545) was back.
But, alas, only an Anonymous Coward.
according to Wired the other day it's not 'Internet', but 'internet'.
But it's part of a title; therfore, the first letter of the first, last, and every major word (not as, in, the, etc.) would be capitalized.
Within the body of the text, internet remains uncapitalized.
Actually, the really lazy ones only read. There's a coworker right next to me that doesn't post. He only reads. Now, THAT's lazy.

It's from the Greek root
Stego/Stegano = covered
Graphy = writing
Probably has something to do with covering or hiding a written message.
At least that means people are trying to RTFA
