You do realize that the US government is trying to get him extradited in order to put him on trial for crimes in the US. I believe that's the point of his statement.
I disagree about the fries v chips, fries as you're thinking are the crap mcdonalds version. Whereas, fries at a decent place are seasoned and yummy.
I LOVE that your local pizzeria will come back when you forget you ordered pizza because of your Parkinson's.
Close, yeah... I usually get coupons for things I'd never buy, but apparently someone with a similar profile would. At least, I expect that's what's happening, what with all the data mining that happens with their cards, and likely even through the same credit card being processed.
I generally do this as well... My work is right up the street, so I use that. And since I work at a hotel, we get all sorts of names over the course of a year.
I usually decline to offer any true info... zipcode? Why yes, I happen to know one from across the country. Phone? Google voice, go ahead, call it. No one will ever pick it up.:-D
I use my boss' card for work a couple times a week.
I've signed everything from his name to scribbling little pictures.
No one has ever said anything. And the 2x I've been IDed, I just told them it wasn't my card.
They processed it no problem. Cashiers don't much care.
Generally whenever they change the contract you have an option to cancel within 1 billing cycle. Not really worth the effort (especially since you're probably already got a text plan), but feasible if you really care that much.
If I want wireless while I'm out and about, I go to Panera or a local cafe that offers it for free....
So BFD if it changes!
I use http://www.wififreespot.com/ to find free wifi when I'm away from home.
(No, I don't work for them or get money for it:)
Are these the strict privacy rules like the ones in the Valerie Plame case? Or the ones currently surrounding the office of the (non-executive) VP?
But seriously, if this could link into INTERPOL & other databases of fingerprints, this might actually be helpful for those who end up in those 10 ports of entry
I imagine that the software is custom written. But it wouldn't surprise me if there were a market for such a thing... Include some other foreseeable disasters (fire, flood, airplane, Michael Jackson...), and sell it to major construction companies in skyscraper or other 'secure' building markets.
And just for kicks, maybe add an easter egg like sim city, so that you can destroy your buildings with aliens, dragons, etc.:-D
Boy, if I could get 23 miles to the gallon AND have special oil burning jets...
That car would really be sexy.... Heh... and fun at stoplights if the jerk behind you is tailgating.
/me gets in line for reverse thrusters
Oh, and 100 miles does not equal 100 km, last I checked...:)
Here in NY, some of the cops will pull you over for bogging down the left lane. But that's mostly the interstates where there are (mostly) only 2 lanes.
I was in the car with a co-worker when he got pulled over for it last year.
Though I'm fairly sure that it didn't hurt that he was going about 20 over the speed limit. Fool.
But more to the point, being on the phone while driving in NYS can be rather pricey. The penalty is somewhere in the ballpark of 150$, depending on locality. That's about the same as a speeding ticket, afaik.
Well, at least Verizon won't decide that you're evil until 5 GB.
Then again, they may decide that I'm "harming their network" and need to be destroyed.
Just figured that for 150 a month, I should be getting something a little more than phone minutes.
Thank god I have a landline connection for my pron.
I mean, downloading recipes. Yeah, that's it. Recipes.

Rape, for one. Yes, pedantic, you specified consensual. But it's definitely evil.
Huh, so that's where I left that needle. Oh, cool, my 3DS too!
oops, forgot I wasn't logged in...

Blackberry to find the wifi.
Coffee to refresh the brain.
Then computer to check email, look up article, send documents, or whatever...

Sounds like a good idea... No real downside either. Three cheers for Manitoba Public Insurance? (Kinda weird not to have a choice in insurers though.)

Don't be silly!
The chocolate is mixed by waterfall.
And it's the only chocolate in the world mixed by waterfall, did you know that?
Just by the by, Copyright infringement is a tort.
That is, not criminal.
Which means no jail time, only civil penalties.
The LESBIAN agenda!
:-)
The Gay agenda deals with taking over the world, enslaving the religious right, and other sundry plans.
The Lesbian agenda deals with assless wedding gowns, flannel, and naming things in a feminist fashion.
Can't we have a "mode execute ready" switch?
Instead of that thoroughly antiquated "access standby"?
Who knew... hypothermia to help cure your heart attack....
And it's finally a breakthrough that will help real problems.
Please, the penis pills are hardly lifesaving.
(But maybe marriage saving)
On a more serious note though, this is a pretty strange way for the body to work. Fascinating though to think about.

Personally, I can't wait til death sports are all the rage in reality television.
Just think of all the morons that Darwin will knock off for us.
It's really a step forward in the evolutionary chain.
And bonus points if you can get the owners of these laptops to play the death sports.

It sounds to me like someone just discovered the Burger Joint at the Beginning of the Universe.
Many thanks to Douglas Adams.
