you see thats how rebates work , the minute you have spent that 50 on complaint letters/phone-calls/etc(which the company recoups in phone revenue/ recycling//etc) your rebate will magical arrive,. Please read the fine print in future before moaning
I hope it is , as if it is then the whole day to me becomes rather funny again. On the other hand , this story actualy made me laugh in a Advertastical((c) word) fashion
The main problem i can see with this project is the so called "proton torpedo" effect which ports some exhaust design feedback issues, more than just being one shot , the space station will tend to explode in on itself after sending the inital shot , This tends to have some long term effects like the BOH and carbonite han problem and ussualy some empirocal damage. the worst of these problems though tends to be the "phantom menace effect" which is belived to be a coruption of the space time continuum , basicaly it is belived that it has a sucking effect on atleast 2 sequalar events (possibly 3) but good luck to you
Not sure if your joking or not but it gives me a good cue to explain the joke for those who dont get it;). shazam , getting in a few difrent meaning of the word irony into the joke

I was reading up on a company called sutech who had developed a short range communications transfer technology powerd by Dead plant matter. It involves superheating the matter and using a blanketing system to shape the output
Yeah , the funny thing is ive been waiting for slashdot to post a real artical then wait for us to all start saying "Aprils fool" then them going "hahahaha aprils fool indeed , this is a real story"
I remember a few classics on the BBC news over the years , there was only one per year though , they were well thought out , funny(after you worked out it was a joke ) and many of them remain true classics to this day,in the field of practical jokes that is. Its not really lame (taken each seperatly), its the fact that when every one is a joke people get sick fed up of them , too much of a good thing...
;) i didnt actualy read it properly , i just skimmed over hee as i had a fairly large idea it was an april fools already from the summary.. how i passed a gem like that is beyond me though lol
ok this one looked resonible till i got to this part "It is well accepted by popular opinion and other reliable metrics
that moral values are declining and that degeneracy is increasing.
Young people are particularly at risk from the rising depravity in
society and much of the blame can be squarely placed at the door of
the Internet. If you do not feel safe on the streets at night, what
do you think it is like on the Information Superhighway?" Then it all came apart , This is a better april fools though
I hope its a joke since i just made a very public statment saying if it wasn't I would eat my mac , I know its small and everything but silicon is really hard to digest
not as bad as people confusing Irony and ironic, To explain irony i just quote the dictionary definition !: contraining or apearing to contain Iron That my freinds is irony
