    Hello mr_gerbik, TiVo here again, I really think you are judging Golden Girls a little harshly, and once you sat down and watched a few episodes, you would really enjoy it, so I filled up the drive with the all the seasons, for your enjoyment. I really think that you are going to thank me.

    Just go to the stores, grab some items, and lob them other the aisles. Extreme, well you need to decide what actions you will take when your freedoms are being eroded. If you don't stand now, when will you stand?

    Or for some real guerrilla protests, get some gorillas (or dress up as gorillas), and let them loose in the store. Imagine how upset these stores would be, to destroy there delicate balance of mind-control.

    I think the point was that the coffee was way too hot, scalding temperature, when there is no way it should have been. Who would have thought that there was two sides to an issue?

    The strange thing is that they have to switch of the music, a few hours before, until a few hours after the ecllipse, which if you have ever been to a rave, is a very strange experience...

  9. Re:What?? on Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets Leaked · · Score: 2

    Yes, it is perhaps one of the worst social justices, that we still allow in our society, when a film only makes $300million rather than $500million.

    Is there a patent yet on shoddy businessmen who need a kick in the head, because i sure would like that one...

    Of course, we are all just jumping on the bandwagon here, and don't really know both sides of the story. I think it is easier here for us to attack this guy, than feel anything for him, so we do.

    Microsoft was almost certain to gain more by the stunt than it would lose in fines. $50 per "decal" would have been cheap, but it wasn't even fined that much.

    To be honest, no matter how we see the situation, the fines are not meant to ensure that Microsoft pays more than it gained, but to gain some assurance that this does not happen again. I guess that this was covered by the two correspondents.

    Is it illegal to graffiti something that is already deemed illegal?? I mean, I know it would be illegal in Germany to walk around drawing Swastikas on these things, but maybe not in the US ( or Australia, if they try something here)

    a lot of people have been caught out when their friends have called them while they are on holiday and they chat thinking its a regular call until they get home and see their cellphone bill and see hideous charges incurred for other peoples calls, needless to say sales calls get a mouthful of abuse.

    You are a bit like the buy who complains that the bridge builder built the bridge 3x stronger than it needed to be.

    The US gov had spent a lot of it's time and resources ensuring the price of oil remains relatively constant, yet it has been increasing. You may have noticed a few wars recently, that you may not believe were about oil, but they certainly had there impact on keeping oil down. There have been to major discoveries of oil since the 1960's, hard to argue with that... but i am sure that you will.
