Waitress: Well there's 5G per month/1.2G per week/150M per day/6M per hour - that hasn't got much limits in it [cut to Vikings sitting at a table singing...]
One problem with the "Google" approach is that it's often taken as a search for THE solution, not a pointer towards the solution.
There is a school of thought (pardon the pun) which says that thanks to the internet, nobody needs to actually know anything anymore.
But what grade would you give to a chemistry paper cribbed from this? While everything on that site is true it also lies by omission. I think a person ought to know enough to know that.
Yes, that's an intentional spoof - but there are very many sites that through malice or ignorance contain misinformation. And yet a lot of people believe that if it's on teh intarwebs, it must be true.
No, you're experiencing a force of 1g from gravity
No he isn't, he's experiencing a force of mg where m is his mass and g is the gravitational field strength. In sensible units, that I'm too pissed to remember.
Of course if they'd spent $700k securing the computers in question properly before Gary attempted his cracking then perhaps we wouldn't be in this situation.
It'd be nice to think so, but they'd have probably spent it on hammers and toilet seats - 700 grand doesn't go far these days.
If he'd lived in the US and hacked into UK government computers, do you think there'd be any chance at all of him being extradited? No, it would be ruled unconstitutional.
On those grounds alone the request should be refused as all such requests should be, until a balanced treaty is in place (and ratified).
When the government('s bankers) print money, all the existing money in circulation decreases in value because there is more of it around.
Not necessarily. If the issuing economy's production of real goods and services also increases in proportion, there'll be no inflation above the normal background level. Search for "velocity of money".
The intrinsic value of money is it's market valueas the intrinsic value of coffee is it's flavour and high caffeine content.
No, its market value of money is the market value. If there were suddenly twice as much paper money, the value of any particular note would (other things being equal) be halved. However my jar of coffee tastes exactly the same and wakes me up exactly the same whether there's a hundred in my cupboard or it's the only one in the world. Hence its intrinsic value is the same - though in the latter case, its market value might well be higher.
I live in Scotland, we have several notes, issued by private banks (not the government) which are accepted as currency, nobody even thinks about it.
And they're not under government control as to how much they issue? I somewhat doubt that. So really they're little more than subcontractors. It's like arguing whether the council are doing repairs or Bovis are.
2) Go to the big publisher and say "I'll write book 2 for you if you'll give me $millions". In case 2, the big publisher is presumably in the publishing business to make money and this will be an attractive offer for them knowing that they will sell millions of copies.
It's a more attractive offer for some other big publisher who goes out, buys a copy and starts printing millions of knock-offs. What's more they can even undercut the first publisher, because they don't have to amortise that big fat advance.
Also, most Americans could guess the capital of Utah because it is the only city in Utah they ever heard of (Salt Lake City), but I bet most couldn't tell you the capital of Washington.
This is an exception to the general rule that the capital isn't the place everyone has heard of.
I'd say 99.9% of University's have the number for their switchboard on their website
More likely scenario:
You: Can I speak to Professor [Insert Name Here]. Operator: He's very busy, so first you have to prove you're not just some time-wasting 'tard. So, what's the correct usage of an apostrophe? You: To... signify a plural. Operator: You fail it! You: Ummm, to warn that an "s" is coming? *clunk*
Nah, it's cos the south pole's spinning the opposite way. Like in Austria, they have to pump the bathwater down the plughole or it comes back up again. Something like that.
Businesses have used it to screen applicants for home and car loans, apartments and even exercise equipment, according to interviews and a report by the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay area to be issued today.
A spokesperson for the organisation later added "er, please don't put us on it".
A PhD is normally someone who's specialised. Specialisation is the process of learning more and more about less and less until in the end you know everything there is to know about nothing.

I think that's the NJ attorney you're replying to.

It was baldly obvious that it was a joke.

Nah, transfer to law ASAP.
Was it the bad side - the part on the wrong side of the runway?
Bags I the patent on simple web forms!
It will - but only on the version for the Hurd.

You sound like a Monty Python sketch.
Sounds a lot like those bloody thebans that Jehova's witnesses believe in. So 100% true, then.
