this is the best piece of news i've heard all day, now come christmas if my gran gives me a crappy jumper (you all know the ones i'm talking about!) i'll turn her in for copyright infringment, then i'll have the last laugh this time and i believe it will drive the nail into why you never see that jumper after i leave your place gran!
i recently got back from the UK from a `home visit` after 6yrs of being overseas, (during the last months scare!?) i tried to open up a bank account so i could setup direct debit for my health insurance plan, i must have been to 4 different banks and all refused to do business with me, just because i can't prove where i live. they said it was down to british law that prevents them from blah blah blah. so now i read this, i am actually glad i couldn't do business with them. oh and i tried to change over my previous bank accounts i had, to find out that they were all closed down due to no activity.
its not really your country when you get treated liked a forigner, and its definatly not when the forigner has more rights than you in your country. i guess i need to find me a new country to live in, recomendations anyone?

When something gets canned after just the first season (Firefly), then THAT'S 'cancelled'.;)
It takes a real man to appreciate Firefly and how well it was done, as in most art forms it was not about what was done but what was left up to the imagination.
you can fix it really easily, find a kid and have them accuse every person who voted on the bill of `touching them`, i'm sure it'll will change quicker than `a fat kid on a smartie`.
I spoke to a german network admin back in 2002 in germany about how their growing needs for internet resources were outpacing what they could implement, i believe then he said they had gigabit connections. I asked him doesn't file traders cause all these problems, he acknowledged this and said "if we start limiting what people can do, where will it stop and who will decide what is right? I'd rather not stop 1 legitimate person from using the infustructure than block 100's of users abusing the network!"
and arn't these networks paid for by the tax payers anyway?:/
i'd only support advertising driven os if it was A) run by the OSS comunity and not nosy fuckers B) go directly to the OSS community C) i'd have the choice to not watch them. D) does not contain flash or malicious content or impact the preformance of the system E) does not collect personal information
religion gives hope to people, it is a placebo where people try to explain things that cannot possibly be caused from natural disasters. i guess thats why god built cat5 and produced FTTH and evil corporations, opps getting off track now
yeah so religion helps people who arn't happy somewhere and in a way brainwashes them into believing in a higher being, not only that it also allows people at the top of the pyramid to control people all the way down, its a profitable business model, funny thing is when you have people that disagree with them they get labled as terrorists or cults.
expecting everyone to believe in the same thing is so 10 yrs ago, we are individuals not sheeple, respect yourself and respect your beliefs but also respect your fellow man.
thats why jesus saves, but budha runs a raid10 system with offsite backup and redundant links on a beowolf cluster running over 10 bluegenes.
food for your mind: if you believe in your god so much why do you as the courts to enforce this?
i'm sorry, i done it, it was a big pot, calling my name i say, its curves and innocence were gleaming in the heatwave radiating from the sparkling god like coffee machine, the hint of urine in the air quickly dissapates as the beans are ground. the manager never notices me as she's stratiegically placing her pubes in the days sandwiches so when you take that mouth watering last bite you find the golden ticket. -- the daily life of a starbucks employee
exactly, sounds like they are joining the white power groups and targeting the youth knowing they will be adults soon, sounds a bit like when i was in school in england, the police came in and we all got the chance to learn how the police do finger printing, so every kid had a one on one lesson and from that we were all in the system.
i call you on your frozen remark, if its a MBP or MB or any other brand we all know these things are designed to decrease the future population (being aimed at the future monority - asians, (else `afrikan american` | `black people`) by roasting some nuttz.

seriously, you think they just didn't clean the telescope? how'd you measure somthing like that? hope it isn't growing as it'd suggest its coming towards us at an astonising rate.
well worth of life isn't all about the paycheck but like me i received no thanks today, maybe i need to edjimicate people. so what i'm going to do is add on to all my clients bills +hpysysadmday, think i'll get away with it?
hmm

a better one involves a lemon and a jug of water.
place the lemon in the jug of water and put some coins in the bottom as enticement, now go around the bar offering anyone the pot if they can balance any coin on the lemon but they loose if it falls into the jug.
just dont buy flat lemons!
(in the case of a sinking lemon - english ones float - add salt to the jug as needed)
1. Intel Macs suck. Its the same OS. What difference does the hardware make? And if you've actually USED an Intel mac, you know how much amazingly faster they are than the PPC machines they replaced.
just wanted to add to this, the intel macs are fast, but they are buggy with applications like photoshop, i guess this could be that it isn't a binary for intel yet but when it buggs it takes a whole rebuild to get it back stable again, the updates easlier this month fixed alot of this but its still wiggin. oh and the migration tool from ppc to intel brings with it some drawbacks... finder locked up hard with access errors for that user, seems the uid wasn't updated in the migration and a few incompatibilitys so it took the original machine and the new machine to bring over the information without using the 'migration' tool.
that said, i'm getting me a black macbook this year not the pro and building me a 4 proc workstation since working on a laptop isn't the same as a desktop, before i get flamed for that comment, i've used a sony vaio grt30p since when they first came out, its a great machine for power but its heavy the battery only lasts around an hour and i can't upgrade any part other than the ram, hdd, broken dvd+/-rw and battery, oh! best yet, i have a perminant tan on my left thigh from the heat, a patch 6x4 inches
i 100% agree with tuna are ugly, but then look at humans, theres a few in the government that are butt ugly, so why do they enjoy the same protection as the dolphins, i for one would vote to remove these ug-leee political figures from the gene pool, is there a darwin awards for ugly people?
china has been doing two way certificates, problem is not the actual certificate but the `windows` only policy, mac and nix users are being alienated, just yesterday i had a meeting with a payment gateway (i know its not a bank per se) in china and i went through a model user.
I set them up with a computer running freesbie and gave them banking information and asked them to use their system to buy through our site, as you can imagine, they became pissed off that it wasn't `IE` then even more furstrated when trying to use their own banks.
i asked them straight out, should i have to use an operating system i dont trust to be able to buy online? ofcourse they were trying to keep business and replied `no` then i pointed out that a quarter of the visitors on the site are mac users.
so what i am getting at is, this would have to be an open standard not a closed propriatory way and intergreated into the khtml/ff/opera/ie browsers.

so i can have a conversation and it change?

you are all wrong.
Religion is a very useful tool for controling the masses. (like tv reality shows and news groups (esp. but not limited to china))
it offers neither understanding or observation
exactly, sounds like they are joining the white power groups and targeting the youth knowing they will be adults soon, sounds a bit like when i was in school in england, the police came in and we all got the chance to learn how the police do finger printing, so every kid had a one on one lesson and from that we were all in the system.
