    And then they get a call from the US and a load of European nations telling them to vote the other way, what do they do then? China defiantly has a big mouth, but they don't have the biggest balls yet.

    Its not like its the only thing thats gone up in price, Mars bars used to be under 30p, now they are almost 50p and not as big. Just 3 years ago, I could get double vodka and coke for £1 at the bar, and now I only know one place where I can get a single for that much. Prices on everything are increasing at a much faster rate than the suppose rate of inflation but I don't see our salaries doubling in 3 years do you? We're all getting ripped off and made fools off, not just by MS, but by the entire corporate class.

    Same here, I'm in a British university right now, and I don't think I've heard anyone support the idea of an biological origin for oil, from either chemistry, biology or geology departments.

    no, the theory that oil has a non-biological origin is still a minority opinion, and for good reason.

    Wow, it like touches someone feet like a 20 times a game, as opposed to about 20 times in 20 seconds. Also, no-one is using a stupid name like European Football, because unlike the US we are a little more inventive with our sports (as opposed to the only sports invented in the US; rugby with big pads (cos your too girly), netball (girls game) with bouncing and rounders (another girls game) with a big bat, total originality; zero) and there are loads of different types of football here, Association Football is just one of several.

  25. Re:Well... on Pre-20th Century Gadgetery · · Score: 3, Insightful

    of course there were nerds in the stone age, who do you think invented stone axes, and spears? not to mention bows and arrows and spear throwers. It may not seem impressive now but when some cave nerd tyed some animal guts to a bendy stick and used it to catapult tiny spears at animals, must have seemed like a uber dork to his pointy stick waving friends. And don't think it was a simple case of putting together, some cave nerd probably spent many long hours searching for bendy enough wood and trying to get arrows to fly straight, while the other cave men laughed at him. And imagine how much worse it was for ancient Australian nerds, imagine how much the other aborigines laughed at the guy who after hours of careful carving presented a bent stick as the ultimate hunting weapon?

    Prehistory is even categorised by the achievements of nerds, only when some geek decided to find out what happen when you stuck funny looking rocks in a very hot fire did the stone age become the bronze age. Sure being a prehistoric nerd would have been hard work, but rest assured, there were plenty of them, and its thanks to those uber nerds who decided they could represent spoken words using little squiggles on paper that prehistory finally ended.
