When we got our Golden Retriever puppy (Meg) wife put a ticking clock into a yellow sock. Theory was that the puppy would sleep better with a local "heart-beaty" sort of sound. She (puppy) loved in and now throws it around the room.
Not sure what this means but I'm sure it's related.
If I were him, I'd start spilling all the info I ever had on security for the state. No amount of money or threats would stop me.
Tut. Not sure how it is in your part of the world but some of us sign confidentiality agreements. I've worked for the British home office, some 30 years ago. I'm still bound by the "Official Secrets Act" that I signed then.
I'm not saying that some stories shouldn't be blabbed, but we're professionals. We do what we're paid to. If we're not happy, move on. But don't air dirty laundry. Especially not someone else's.
I read something that mentioned that Al "Incovenient Truth" Gore had major shareholdings in all companies that dealt in emission tradings, and stood to gain millions as it all got going.
I read it on a flier passed on by a climate skeptic, so I'm not sure if it's the case. Anyone know for sure?
Didn't they dance together in a coke/pepsi advert about 20 years ago? And one of them was dead. And I don't just mean professionally.
At that time the media and us contemporaries wondered about how owned the actors' images. "If Groucho was alive, would he have done the advert?". Yatta yatta yatta...
One of them had Yoda fighting Christopher Lee: that's a 3-foot-high green thing fighting Lee, who must be half way between six-foot and seven-foot. That was just hysterical, and more than justified the cost of admission.
Champions Online would let my daughter create a cat themed hero, but wouldn't let her name it "Pussy Cat"... I haven't tried naming a character "Dick Cheney" yet.
If you do, it'll go around shooting random people anyhow...
I cleaned a Compaqard box for a friend recently (cleaned=re-installed from the restore drive after they downloaded some malware) and that installed swags of HP trial stuff. Which AVAST promptly identified as spyware, leading me to delete it.
I tried to fire up an old Windows 98SE box at the weekend - it wasn't talking to my screen and plugging in another box assured me that the screen was fine.
I'm tossing that baby. Life's too short. And I can get Pharoah, Caesar 3 and Starcraft working on XP with a little work...
The man himself lost a libel case against the Marquess of Queensbury, because what had been written by the Marquess (you can imagine it...) was actually true.
Seeing this just makes me angry all over again how corporate greed and crime has held back progress. Screw you early 90's MS execs. I hope you tell your kids how you managed to cripple OS development around the world with your crimes.
Bear in mind that these kids they're talking to are well-educated, have perfect teeth and health and live in nice homes thanks to the salaries their parents pulled back in the 90s while doing down BeOS.
And remember that the execs' duty was to MS, not to the world. They're just in it for the money, like the rest of us.
Forgive me - but your use of the apostrophe there means that you have one daughter with multiple vaginas. Slide the apostrophe over to the right of the "s", there...

Not sure what this means but I'm sure it's related.
No excuse for the Dr Seuss hidden reference, btw.
I just read in the NZ Media that Bill Gates will be building Nuclear plants in the near future.
I mean, creating the ID just for that one post? Or is this how we get such high IDs on the board (and we don't really have 1.3 million readers..)

I think this is viable, if for no other reason than because it's been suggested by someone with a three-digit ID #.
Liar: "It is my opinion that you have lied." Motherfucker: "It is my opinion that you have committed incest." What key difference am I failing to see?
The legal one. Easy.
So, did your wife-to-be and girlfriend ever meet?

"No country is so poor or so backward that it cannot afford the most modern weapon technology".
It was meant to be a comedy, wasn't it?

Thank you - I'm here 'til Thursday...
LOL An IT-Guy.. Ah well I have been at this since what.. 97 or so?
Noob ... some of us have been going since '79. "IT grandad" is an option I've yet to hear, but it's coming...
Some of us call "periods" full stops, of course.
By the way, you're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off.

want to stop them .. with a gun, I take it.
I live in New Zealand, you insensitive clod!
In other words - why is NJ outshining most others in solar energy news? New Jersey's famous for not doing this sort of thing?

Possibly it (and me both) belong in a museum. And yes, I can use it. No, I haven't for ages.
