It was used to push through a law which makes no sense. I can now be fined/put in prison if I take my dogs for a walk and they chase a fox (yes, I have 3 dogs, any more then 2 is illegal now..). It was totally and utterly wrongly put and is now going to be mocked and killed off.
The lords didn't want it banned because alot of people didn't (the countryside alliance would happily give you figures I bet), the government simplely abused a bill to get more votes in the up comming popularity contest.. shame everyone hates them.
Oh and when do we get a law enplaced to stop the Antis from beating up little kids and stealing their pets? A couple of months ago a 12 year old lad here was out ferreting (perfectly legal) and a group of antis jumped him, put him in hospital and nicked his ferrets (they weren't seen again.. so god knows where they are). So I want a law which stops this sort of thing and is enforcable if you're banning something for them. It's ridiclous
I suggest you see hunting and not buy into the press. I never went hunting (although I did see it a few times living in the country side as I happen to do), but I know the difference between being caught and killed and being shot and left to bleed to death if the guy can't aim.
Hunting ensures a kill if caught which is ALOT more then any trap or firearm can ensure..
I'd like to say "keep fighting it", but lets face it, if 1 or 2 countries keep fighting it they'll just make some new law which lets them ignore 1-2 people being against it so they can just force it through.
Very similar to the hunting ban in the UK, the lords didn't want to ban it so the Government used an act ment for emergencies to force it through and get their way. Surely the EU have a clause which can do the same in some form..
well you see thats society, the loud get noticed more then the quiet. No one has a problem with people keeping a phone on them for emergencies and answering it if thats what is happening. But we get sick of walking through town just to hear 20 odd people discussing how their cat is.
My hate also partly stems from hearing someone having phone sex in public once. This is where people have problems. Bullshit for no reason at all, we have no problems with real uses for them (Hell I'd keep a mobile phone with me if I was driving late at night or whatever), but we're sick of hearing how Jane NEVER did that and how Anney is a whore.. I'm sure you see we don't hate "connected" people, we hate trendy fashion whores badicly, which tend to be these people.
Really? I have two mobile phones and I've only ever listened to their choices once. Hell my current one is just the Billy Hatcher theme I got free when buying the game.. it's unique so I won't be one of them narks if a phone rings..
Why would you spent hours trying to find a ring tone.. then again this is slashdot, we spent hours waiting for a message...
I'm saying this on behalf of everyone who hates mobile phones.
FUCK OFF!
It's annoying as hell to be talking to someone when they suddenly pick up their phone and cut you off mid sentence. Or you're in a shop and suddenly a phone rings and 12 people dive head first into their bag.
I miss the days of the early 90s where the only people who mobile phones were people who needed them, not every middle age woman and 12 year old girl within a 3 mile radius of the shopping part of town.
If this doesn't go his way he'll either buy the company and "absorb it" or he'll just carry on and go "meh, I make more then that in a day".
Maybe we need a system where fines are set by how much money you earn per second. Average person earns $0 a second, so fines would be set to a lowest level (AKA all current levels, not RIAA current levels) and go from there.
Well she's not very tech savy and has 4 kids (including one with downs symdrome) and I can't sit and teach 5 people how to use new software. So I figure I should keep it as simple as possible (outlook out for thunderbird, firefox looking like IE, firewall sitting in the background and tell them to run the spyware scanner once a month at least).
It just seems so much easier then messing around, I'll print out a rough guide aka
Firefox - Internet explorer Thunderbird - Outlook
etc. and set up a user level account and tell them to use it by default. Otherwise I can't think of much which I can do, the general idea is just "Make sure I'm not 24 hour tech support".
Plus she wants to pay me for it.. which I find totally out of the question (She's a single parent who just had her husband leave.. she doesn't need me looting her). So I figure I have to do this right and as easy as possible so it seems like I've not done a huge amount or she'll never let me leave without some cash in my pocket.
I figire it needed explaining and not just "Oh I need an IE theme" with the AC trolls around here some days...
but yea, I'll try and find out how to make it look and work like IE (Minus the obvious bullshit) then reply to this post.
Need a little help here, I'm looking for a firefox theme which emulates IEs look EXACTLY. I have to set up a friend's mothers PC in the next few days and I figure an IE theme would be the best option here. So could someone point me in the direction I need to look please.
I never said all soldiers, theres alot of damn fine soldiers. They do their job and deserve respect, but theres also alot of VERY bad soldiers and when you're claiming to free someone from torture and stuff you don't go and torture them.
Also I'm from the UK, our leaders suck off Bush every chance they get. This is why people are so sick of them.
Oh and it wasn't trolling, I considered the original topic "Pro American bullshit", comparing 2 countries and ignoring 1s faults is where I have problems, trolling.
Some jobs make Algebra pointless. Much like Shakespear, I had a home tutor and missed the last 3-4 years of "high school" in the UK and every lesson me and the teacher (she was a nice lady more into kids then forcing them to learn. So you worked at your own pace and weren't forced to rush or sit there bored, as a good teacher should keep things), had to do Shakespear we sat there board shitless hating every moment of it. I've found no use for it what so ever, I have no intrest in it and I wasted several hours a week on the guy...
This is the problem with the school systems. Rather then focus on useful things they focus on things no one wants. "This is how you use word and type with 2 fingers" or "this is sport,, you won't do it again once you lreave but lets waste 3 hours a week on it".
Maybe Gates should put some money into it then, he's got a few billion dollars, just think what a billion dollars could do for public schools if spent right.
It's one thing to complain but it's another to have the balls to try and change it.. but this is Bill here, he's just donate windows XP to school for every machine instead of giving them the money straight off.
Okay then, lets be fair here.. The Chinese have different morales to Americans, if we really want to push the boat out here lets try "It's far more likely for an American to eat himself into an early grave on McDonalds then it is for a Chinese person".
You could also bring Bush into this, last time I noticed you voted him back in when he's lead a war which has all the "good guys" abusing the prisoners of war, including sexually.
Without even mentioning the war was illegal, declaring he would "kill the terrorists", when he himself is using terror to try and control other countries (You're with us or against us mentality to the point where Iran had to reveal it had nukes just to SCARE BUSH OFF).
I suggest you take your Pro-American view and stick it, because China may not be perfect but neither are you and untill then I suggest you stop throwing fucking stones before your glass house becomes the prime target.
That's the point. It's just a recycled bullshit statement. He's making them all the time, the only decent thing we've seen out of him in a long time was him trying to look sexy in them pictures from years back. No one should take him seriously any more let alone "Stuff that matters" involving him.
I think you'll find schools real use is to keep kids out of parents hair while they work, it's a basic prison to keep kids entertained.
We started to see this and now everything is revolving around a system based on popularity and how well you can do on tests. Any real exprience you have is instantly invalid because some kid fresh out of college with a degree has papers saying he can do it and will take half the money because he doesn't have two kids and a wife to help look after.
This isn't even going into the bullshit politics of "oh I know the boss, I'm his daughters living dildo, so I come before you do dickhead".
Lets face it, the stone age was better then this, because at least then you could beat the pretty rich boy round the head with your not so smooth and pretty rock. Now it's "touch me and my daddies lawyers will sue you!"
He says 'Linux is obsolete. By obsolete, I don't just mean that it's broken, flawed or junk, though a case could be made for every one of those points. By obsolete, I mean Linux even when working as designed compare to windows today.'
It's all the same drivel with a few words edited. I suggest we stop posting crap by this guy because he's clearly talking out his arse all the time and only gets away with it because he rode the "in 2000 we'll be in flying cars" fad of his era and is now a rich bastard out of touch with the world he helped create.
You miss the point. I trust the guy nextdoor, I trust the lady down the road, I trust my friends. I don't trust the world outside of this because it's clearly put "we want your money, heres a brainwashing so we get it".

Most technology has the ability to turn the sound down so you don't annoy others. Mostpeople with mobile phones can't turn their fucking gobs down.
Look at Trigger Happy TV, it says it all.
Maybe it'd help if they didn't have that fucking AIM Today bullshit which pops up EVERY time you sign on even when you turn it off..
If Gaim could fix it's reconnecting problems then I'd switch to it permantly.. untill then it's AIM in bed, Gaim when awake.
I have two, passed onto me from my brother (he's a fashion whore). They haven't left the house in over a year :)

Everyone hated the guy, he did come across as a troll and with the internet policitcal bullshit it's entirely possible.

Could MS not be sued for being a monopoly and abusing it's power to "wipe out" the little guys?
Is it me or is that one hell of a troll? It's like going "Star wars could beat up Star Trek" or "Picard is better then Janeway!" in the playground..
We have a new answer to life, the universe and everything! It's 2^25,964,951 - 1
Now.. who wants to find out what this code refers to? I'm guessing we're looking at a safe or a bank account
You miss the point. I trust the guy nextdoor, I trust the lady down the road, I trust my friends. I don't trust the world outside of this because it's clearly put "we want your money, heres a brainwashing so we get it".
Take it how you want it.
