If someone sends you something in the mail, it is yours, even regardless of what is included in it.
And if the bank accidentally transfers money into your account you can keep it. If they ask for it back, it's entrapment. What's more, if a cop gives you a speeding ticket and he's not wearing his hat, you don't have to pay.
Innovative doesn't necessarily mean good, just novel or different. Square wheels on a car would be innovative, but not really very good (except for parking on hills).
At least you've got some competition for the award now.
4 [serious injuries or fatalities] per million for gas, against 2 per million for electric.
Of course, the first reaction on tereading that is "OMG gas is totallty teh dangerous. It's like, twice, as dangerous as electric! But then you look at the numbers: Electric has fuck all risk, and gas has double fuck all risk. Rearranging the equation to provide the difference is left as an exercise for the reader.
I think it's like an electric bike, but instead of having the wheels front and back, they're mounted left and right. Yes, it does sound crazy, doesn't it?
They were the new big thing back in, oh, 1983 or something.
No, it's more complicated becuase there are more things you can do with it. It has more degrees of freedom. Just like flying an aircraft is trickier than driving a car because of the third dimension, not because Boeing are teh n00bz at UI design.
always knowing exactly how to cock, reload, aim and use an assault rifle.
Do they? I always assumed they don't even know which end points forward.
It's the only thing that explains why, when the hero manages to get the drop on one of the enemy searching for him, he leaves the fallen man's gun on the floor.
Controversy as to the methodology of testing, in which volunteers were asked to remove glasses and contact lenses and metallic objects that could cause hot spots--and effectively melt an entire human being
It seems to me that if you're close enough to see the quality of the covering, you'd be close enough to tell whether it's real or not by other means - unnatural movements, whirring noises...
British high streets have gotten so bad due to mindless binge drinkers and general idiots it seems to necessitate the need for constant monitoring
Monitoring isn't the answer, or at least monitoring alone isn't. Catching the yobs and convicting them up is the answer - and if knocking a few heads is necessary to achieve that, then so be it. Even if the police arrive and arrest 20 fighting chavs, they'll all say it was the others that started it. At least with cameras there might be achance of getting some conclusive proof.
A gambit is merely a move or ploy, usually at the start of a game or battle. I guess you could run a gambit in the same sense as you'd run an executable, but I certainly wouldn't phrase it like that - if only to avoid making people think I was a tard who confuses it with gamut (or gauntlet).
Whereas a gamete is something else, of no relevance at all to us here on/.
lots of stuff is accounted for at greater than 2 decimal point accuracy.
I'd say a gasoline price to 3 dp that then gets multiplied by the quantity counts as "internal, intermediate calculations". Likewise electronic components at 23c per hundred. Likewise credit card interest and foreign currency conversions.
In none of those cases does it follow that the final, overall transaction occurs in your bank account to that number of decimal places.
I mean, why would they bother - for the fun of explaining it to people over and over again when they ring up to complain why their account is always a couple of pennies out of balance because it shows 1.01 plus 1.01 make 2.01, when internally it's 1.006 + 1.006 = 2.012 ?
It starts to get similar when you design the controllers to work like the implements used in the real game. You know, like waving your arms around and stuff?
If your hand is sweaty, please dry it off for the sake of people around you.
Exactly - just like if you playing real (as in life) tennis - which you wouldn't do in the lounge, would you? Would a sane person play football there? Or practice Jujitsu in the kitchen?

Perhaps he has a grammatitude problem?

Perhaps he means, you know, *those* kind of movies. If you need a stronger hint, s/globe/showers/
It's not reading that's the problem; the ability to type abbreviated cryptic commands quickly is the stumbling block.
Er, w8 a -@...
Do I have to do all the thinking round here? You also put cameras on the people watching the camera operators.
LOL, Like everybody knows the correct plural is "elken".

No, it's GNU/FFS, FFS!

Oh. You meant good ones. Still a big fat duck, then. Sorry!

Is Time magazine available in Russia? And was it so in the days before perestroika?
