true , and it is not avaliable in europe , let alone my country , let along my area.., though my main problem is its 20 to 10 and i have just got my first coffe so this seemed like a far better idea before i had thought it through;)
;) if you flag a taxi its cheaper,well atleast where i live. and its always instant , walking around town with my PDA all i need to do is find a hotspot(ussualy someone unsheilded network but thats not my fault)and track a taxi and stumble over to intercept it (my wife refuses to pick me up if ive been out drinking)
I become more persuaded that this is a joke story the more i read it(great idea though) , but you are right with your point , living in Germany i know the feeling oh so well. However in all fairness they are a company from the USA , i am aware of several european sites providing the same services such as maps and local info you just have to pick and mix. I know its nice to have a centralised service and all, but putting all my eggs in one basket has never been a faviourit concept of mine(yes i do use unix in many forms)
This is going to be the problem with every single story announced today , we are going to have about 40 APRIl FOOL posts.
I mean perhaps this is an aprils fool but i doubt google would let go of such a great idea , but the idea in itself is excelent so if it is an april fools joke then lets hope they do actualy do it .
The problem i was mostly seeing was the fact that it would require say 100k or 1000000 , as a single spam report from one person compared which has to be delt with is less likely to be taken as seriously as 1 million or so (that will teach me to shoot my mouth off without fully thinking my post through) so even if it is under human review we all know how the group mentality works , its how my great grandparent post got moded up and its how its going straight down to hell
its a shame when a site gets slashdoted like this , the main advantage of nyud.net is the coral cach is Ad safe (the origional site is credited with the Click etc iirc, this takes away the major mirroring concern of alot of people)
PS::P i should now do my speach about tacking on ads , but i know a couple of people who would find the extension very usefull so i shall instead forward the link to them
I post what i think regaurdless of thought some times;) thus my spelling and loyal following of trolls always there to correct me.Well it is nice to have fans even if they are obsesive maniacs out to destroy your world by moderating you down;)
Yes i shouldnt of used slashdot as an example , but other sites small start-ups or less prominent sites , a few rouge posters thrown in for good mesure and your site or forum could easily be made to look like an offender
It would indeed,a major ammount of spirals,, To be honest i was just shouting my mouth off there , i dont moderate , i prefer not to as i dont trust myself not to be bias towards my freinds or enemys.The anon coward is most likely some troll without mod points anyway so i doubt it matters
The only problem i could see with that is zombie networks , a quick little worm and shazzzam a site like slashdot is blacklisted . easy way to get rid of your competitors
Ok whenever i see his posts and i have mod points i will randomly mark them up to balance this out;).Well no i wont , But i will go out of my way to read his comments and if they are good i will mod them up .;) ofcourse if you want , you can randomly mod me down too
if people started to value other people and respected that each job in societys rung is as valuable and should have equal respect and pay., What we have here is utopian communism , a wonderfull ideal that in time hopefully will be what our society is like (see star trek) Right now though it was her own fault , as everyone else has these same influences and manages not to cheat
exactly hee either society or violent computer games,Seriously that gave me a chuckle. I have no idea i would more say it was the parents fault for not teaching the child/adult now whatever , some ethics and that it does not matter as long as your doing your best.in the end though , if you commit a crime and don't have a mental illness that would contribute to it then it is wholey your own fault. if you get caught you live with it and dont try blaming society .
I went to a catholic school in scotland (primary school , which is 4-7 , then a secondry school , which is 10/11-16/18 depending)Now we got some excelent science and all round eduction , and the primary school was a flamming convent ( no not homosexual nuns, though that does give me ideas , off to have a cold shower).. some of the teachers were nuns,and do you know why we got a good education , its because in scotland we have a standerd sylibie and almost all schools( bar expensive or grant funded schools) are state run.Testing is standerdised and performance for all schools can be evenly graded , they must teach us the curriculum and having a nun teach you about eveloution is great fun when she has to tell you the truth . though we did get forced to do a prayer each morning(that did help me with smart arsed paradoy creation skills though,but that and church had persuaded me by age 7 that the chruch was a load of tripe)
Yes for about double the price ,;) i do own an IBM thinkpad from 2003 and i love it to bits , however it realy is not in the same market.The mac mini is no games device granted , but for my needs its a god send

#Im pretty sure we are all jumping around for nothing , and i feel rather silly as i may have for the first time in years fallen for a troll :S doh

Thats what I told the judge !
If I erect a deadline I expect it to be hard .
I assume this was on the 30th september ;)
People always confuse this one , you see the game is just called "Duke Nukem" again and Forever was the expected development time
Could be seen as 95% of IT projects not given enough time for completion by marketing

I think this still classifys them as a bit careless , but in a more social fashion.

some of the teachers were nuns
We could call it Blorn , the *insert troll faviourit website about goat* changes from shock trolling , to Blorn journalism and becomes legit art
