It sure is a good thing that England controls the entire Internet and that no one anywhere will be able to publish this information now.
I think this is the real reason behind Cameron's porn block. He starts off talking about porn but then when discussing details its suddenly about "illegal content". I'm pretty sure this will include things that the courts (and government departments) decide we shouldn't here
Because we sure as hell pay a lot of money to Oracle, but don't have very much to show for it.
To be fair we pay a hell of a lot to Oracle, their products are not the best but one thing we can say is we do get excellent support. We are on the gold support contract = millions per year though.
In my experience this type believes those two are interchangeable. They also tend to use that term for all folks of Middle Eastern or North African heritage and not just Arabs. This is likely because they are unaware other such groups exist. Bigotry and ignorance seem to be highly correlated.
Then I have to prove a negative, that I do not know this person. All their evidence points to the opposite. "He was in New York at the same time!" (BUT I LIVE THERE) "Doesn't matter". "Your fathe'rs, cousin's, uncle's former roomate went to Iran as an exchange student", etc, etc.
That's an excellent point - its the classic example of the Prosecutor's fallacy. By definition anyone found through a meta-data search will have strong evidence against them. If someone was caught independently plotting terrorist activities then it would be valid to say that it would be very unlikely for them to have a lot of connections with known terrorists. Trawl through databases and find someone who has a lot of known connections and it doesn't say a lot. Its like if you have evidence that someone tampered with a lottery and won you could say the chances of winning are one in 14 million (or whatever), but if you look for people who have won then it is not valid to say that they must have cheated as the odds against winning are so low - because someone will through chance!
Which is why my outgoing voicemail message includes a list of all of the major disasters from the last decade. Just in case somebody from the past decides to call me.

Better than the Muslim's voicemail message which recommends that everyone go to the top floor of the world trade centre on 09/11/2001 to avoid the tsunami!
Give it a try. Go around and pick places and see if you find words you don't know. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I tried for a while and I didn't come up with any.
Didn't take me very long, do you know what "festoons", "muslin" or "almsgiving" is?.
It would be nice to reserve some domain names for internal use although, just like internal ip addresses.
That's a really insightful comment. Reserve.private,.internal,.reserved and a few others for internal use. Even better ban them as prefixes so.private-kellogs and.private-audi, etc can never be registered on the internet.
the word that typically ended brief telegraphic phrases rather than periods
It is a period. This is like saying that people used a dash instead of a hyphen.
Though a stop and a period are the same, a dash is not a hyphen:
The hyphen () is a punctuation mark used to join words and to separate syllables of a single word. The use of hyphens is called hyphenation. The hyphen should not be confused with dashes ( –, — ), which are longer and have different uses, or with the minus sign, which is also longer.
I guess it is indeed a warning sign when a reviewer spends more time talking about the physical attributes of a book than the contents of the book itself.
I don't know, someone once told me that a book said "never judge a book by its contents", and it had a really nice cover.

'Yeah good morning, I'd like the porn filter on my broadband turned off, please?' 'What, are you some kind of PERVERT?'
What do you mean you want to see your Facebook profile Mr Sexson
So you're saying that *all* programming languages are exactly as good each other then? Perhaps you are spending too much time in the "real" world?

It didn't work out well in Lord Parker's 'Oliday.
Apple (headline) profits fall, just as they are being asked to pay tax.
Treat students like prisoners.
Don't worry I'm sure they'll find a way to treat prisoners worse.
Unless they implant the RFID chips, one kid will turn up for class with 30 RFID chips in his pocket!
Not to similar. The Boy Scouts are not sentencing people "to chemical castration."
You mean you can't work for a "Chemical castration" award?

Don't be rediculous. Anyone who reads about Islamic terrorism will be aware of the many white muslim terrorist. If anything they are to be despised more. At least those from Islamic cultures have the excuse that they are abused and brutalised as kids, taught that hatred and murder is good, and that non-muslims are evil.
'tis a slippery slope :(
Well she was foolish to park on a slippery slope to begin with.
Valet parked cars may remain in front of the busy area of the airport for a while before being parked.
Already-parked cars aren't near the airport.
On the other hand the muzzies just try to drive through the terminal door.

Bomb-detector, golf ball finder, little difference. In both cases if they turn out to be fake you could lose your balls.
