They didn't read Google News? This is all so confusing! If Google had read Google News, they would have known about MJs death. But Google didn't and thought they were being attacked...which led them to shutdown their news site...which would have told them about MJ. What if this had happened in Soviet Russia?

Re:Making my point with humor
OMG! Could this be a way to make linux the most widely used OS? Write a GUI that looks like the computers on TV? Although you would need a monitor that projected the text onto the user's face. Submitted by coprenicuz on June 25, 2009 - 9:09pm.

I'm not sure how swedish law works
That's ok. Swedish judges aren't sure either Submitted by anandcp on June 25, 2009 - 9:52am.
Re:Why TF doesn't it happen in US? It works both ways. The British government and the American government simultaneously had meetings with the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England 2 days ago. Obama came out with tough new regulations. Gordon Brown came saying one wishy washy thing, whilst the Bank of England didn't get the tougher regulations they were asking for, and now want to challenge the government in court. And as for the British press being cool, here's a quick rundown: The Sun: Trashy tabloid, most popular paper, tells thick people who to vote for. Banned in Liverpool after a controversial story suggesting Liverpool fans were responsible for the Hillsborough disaster The Mirror: Wishes it was the sun. Even more trashy. The Times: Owned by Murdoch, like the Sun, but seems to understand that its readerbase has brains, whilst trying to slip political opinion through without you noticing.

Re:Unfair Blame to Both Google And AltaRock Yes, but unlike Google, the government's motto is "Do evil." At least I'm pretty sure it is. Submitted by TheSeer on June 24, 2009 - 5:05pm.
Re:Oh the Humanity! Most of the UK is SI now. Road signs still use miles and you can get two metres of two-by-four but it's liable to be 5cm by 10cm, whatever it's called. And asking for a kilo of tomatoes got me 'That's two pounds, sir, and f*ck the French' Submitted by veridicus on June 23, 2009 - 9:58am.
Re:Basements You have a basement? All I had after my divorce was a hole in the ground covered by a sheet of tarpaulin... Re:Basements A hole? I would have killed for a hole! After my divorce, it was me and six other deadbeat dads taking shelter under a public urinal... Re:Basements Public urinal? After my divorce, all I had was my undies and a nest in the local swamp. Re:Basements A Swamp!? HA! Re:Basements Scorpions! Ha! Back in my day we would've killed for a scorpion chase. Instead, we had to stay with the bitch!

Re:God Bless Him How do you know our civilization's ability to produce personal computers isn't going to vanish. At least a book is good for three centuries on proper paper, is our ability to produce hard drives so robust? Well, as the number of computers dwindles from the billions to the millions and eventually the thousands, perhaps someone would be kind enough to hit 'Print' before things wind all the way down.

Re:Smoking Gun? Hardly It's more like consumers wanted horses, but were (briefly) offered zebras. The netbook companies made much of how the zebras looked pretty much like horses, and could do most of the things that horses could. The zebras were healthier and more resilient than the horses, ate less (you couldn't fit much hay in the early netbooks), and were cheaper to buy. And back then, microsoft was trying to sell a new breed of pretty horse, which they wanted people to like, even though the new horses were slower than greedier and more expensive than the old workhorses. But consumers weren't quite convinced by the zebras. They were used to working with horses, they had one at home, and another for the kids to play with, and some of their horse tackle didn't fit the zebras.

Re:Primates
Yes we did. The better you can hold your glass, the more alcohol you are able to drink. The more alcohol you drink, the more likely you are to end up with some ugly girl who also was able to drink herself unconscious. Now imagine that you would drop your glass before you are at that point. You would never be drunk enough to go with THAT girl and she won't go home with YOU. Without fingerprints, we would be extinct by now. |
