Yep, that's how we do it...ie.
Not only is a bottle of beer a 'stubby' but a can is a 'tinnie' - which is also a small metal boat, like a dinghy. The nastier half of us even call Indians 'curries'.
I realise that it's not economical thinking, and hardly applicable to the general populace, but personally I'd kill for an excuse to eat four pounds of steak every day. As it is I work out furiously five days a week so I can enjoy a massively calorie- & protein-rich diet.
I don't think this is a great idea for humanity, far from it, but I can definitely see the value in being super-strong.
Off the top of my head, I could do a lot on foot that I currently need a car for, like carrying a tonne of groceries home from the shop. I could move house without trolleys - and more importantly without back injuries, with more muscle supporting my spine. I'd also be faster, so I could avoid otherwise fatal accidents with falling pianos. I could bang my fat wife standing up for once (disclaimer: I have no fat wife), pull my kids out of a flaming wreckage several years longer into their own lives...the list goes on.
Your sedentary lifestyle is not normal, or healthy.
Good on them for including the general population. Foreign business has been gouging Somalian waters for fish & dumping toxic shit in their waters for years. The bulk of the Somalian populace considers this to be a fair means of compensation from the criminals who rob them, and I'm not far behind them.
Putting "mr" in a word can lead to pronunciation difficulties, just google for words containing "mr" then exclude all abbreviations of mister to find how rarely the sequence it's used. Renaming it to "memistor" would help greatly. Also, the wikipedia page for memristor already contains a reference to memistor.
The 'm' and 'r' are in different syllables, so it's really not an issue. I assume you can handle 'Tim Robbins' so you can handle 'memristor'
A friend of mine rang me a fortnight ago because he was setting up a new internet connection at home and was having problems..."It says I'm connected but I can't get to any websites". I suggested he try IE just to confirm that it was a connection issue, and not a browser setting. No luck, we had to try a few other things, eventually it got fixed.
Cut to yesterday and he's having trouble accessing a particular page. After about ten minutes of troubleshooting on the phone, I asked "You aren't still using IE are you?" "No, I'm using...oh wait, yeah it is IE". Average users really do see the browser as a pane of glass with internets on the other side, it's a perfect description.
You can 'close' the frame, meaning that you can reload the entire original page. I do this if I get a stupid framed link, because I don't want to have to research how each site's framing may or may not be stealing link juice, but it's pretty fucked making me load every damn page twice just to see what url I'm visiting.
To me, these frames are equivalent to someone sticking an advertisement on my shirt without my permission...a generally gaudy, fucking irritating advertisement that means people can see less of my shirt at any one time.
Sure, it's not a perfect analogy.
Wow, you're really stretching yourself to make an argument here...sometimes it's best just to read and not write. Honestly, making Windows look different is not challenging to anyone, and you linux folks can scream until you explode about ease of use, BUT IT STILL WON'T BE TRUE. Why not accept that your OS is the best option for YOU, but not for everyone. I use windows, which is right for ME, but not for EVERYONE. Ditto Macs for graphic designers & their ilk. Fucksake, why does there have to be one OS to rule them all? Why can't we accept that like cars, houses, furniture, eyeglasses, and everything else in the world, different options are appropriate for different people with different tastes, needs, levels of interest, etc?
Only for a small part of the market, dude. Your experience is in NO way typical. I would posit that anyone coming form years on one OS will ask that question of any other, unfamiliar system. Thing is, linux is the unfamiliar system to most people, who don't get that feeling with Windows.

He, like a lot of idiots, has a completely public fb profile. And, to address your questions and the comment above, I care a lot more about not having to do the bidding of a small-minded fuckwit than I do about a raise I don't need. Flag-based patriotism is something I find frankly intolerable, and people who are fans of rum brands, well there's a difference between drinking Jim Beam on weekends and having a poster of the guy on your wall, y'know?

I've turned down jobs because of the employer's or my new superior's facebook profile. A few months back Irefused a job after seeing the CEO was in groups like:
"If you don't love the Australian flag then GET THE FUCK OUT" "I love Bundaberg Rum" "I tried to watch Transformers and all I saw was Megan Fox" I'm an open-minded, relatively intelligent guy, and despite the nearly 20% salary increase the job was worth, not a chance. So yeah, facebook works both ways.
Yah...in my line I find that there's a correlation between over-committing oneself in an attempt to make more money and having a public Facebook profile that includes a bunch of obnoxious group memberships and a photo of one standing in front of a Porsche.

I heart facebook & linkedin. Used to be hard to find high-value debtors once they left the country, now linkedin tells me where they are and who they work for. I work in Melbourne, and every week I lovate people in Istanbul, Dubai, Honh Kong, LA, Brussels....once facebook or linkedin gives me a bunch of info to start with, the rest is easy. Like other posters have noted, some people cannot afford not to have a presence on these sites. Works for me...KA-CHING
I have upgraded an XP machine which had a cracked version of CS4 on it, and it kept working. I have done a clean Win 7 install then installed a cracked version of CS4 on it, no problems. The audio degradation I haven't noticed, but I suppose I can't really speak to that with evidence.
Weird, none of the stuff in the article above is true on my Win 7 install. None of it. CS4 works like a charm, no hacking required. Capturing sound is really easy too, this whole thing is not just FUD, it's a bare-faced pack of lies.
Shame on you/. for just accepting this utter nonsense because it speaks to your biases.
I don't call myself a 'linguaphile', snowgirl, I just quietly go through life with a PhD in linguistics. Also, your quote there has no bearing on anything. At all.
I've used GmailFS on my ubuntu system, and GMail Drive on my Windows system, but at the end of the day, a 32GB thumb drive kicks the shit out of either, and I dare say the same will apply to GDrive. Nice idea, but bandwidth is still an issue for a lot of people, and storing files on the internet is only going to help me reach my monthly quota faster.
I can see this becoming a popular filesharing tool; I can see myself and some online friends sharing a google account for the sake of making a free high-speed dump to replace private FTP sites, Rapidshare links etc.

Since there's mobile coverage where the mushroom picking is going down, maybe it's indoor rather than in a forest?
It's not about whether you're interesting, it's about whether you can get regular updates from people/services that are interesting.

Amnesty International is considered a charity, for the same reason that SSDP should be. Same basic goal of freeing the unjustly imprisoned.

Really valid for the AUSTRALIAN restaurants the article is about. Only 12,000km to he nearest outlet!

Yeah, it's rubbish. I'm running Windows 7 with CS4 and sound working perfectly. This is an alarmist suffering from PEBKAC issues.
