Well, of course they are not cheap...
It's got a cop motor, a four hundred and forty cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks, it's a model made before catalytic converters, so it'll run good on regular gas.

I think you mean figuratively sucking the blood of the new generation. Since, you know, the heart pumps the blood out, so there is no sucking required. ;)

I am really asking.

Class action suit admits that customers only want google for search and would not be willing to buy a phone that searched with Bing. How is following consumer demand anti-trust?
There is a reason that everyone uses google and only google. Yes I know there are a couple people out there who use something else, but you are a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of the user base.
Also, I am not sure these guys know it, but Android is free to install.
Should google be forced to let you use their product to make money without getting anything in return?

It is estimated that the LOC, including video and audio is about 3000 TB. So, you would need 17 of these tapes I guess.

Or was your question rhetorical?

That's amazing! That is the exact name I had for my ex wife!

It seems that even though it could destroy a city every 100 years, in actual fact I has never happened in recorded history.
I am not saying we should not keep a look out, but I am pretty sure we can go to bed and still wake up without our city being a waste land.

If I do, I could be there in what, 25k years..round about?

After all, Mericans are always saying to me "if ya don't like it, git'out".

I am not sure if you are aware of this, but in the rest of the world you can buy an extremely efficient diesel car. Hell, my Jag gets 40mpg!(US, not UK).

Some years ago we had a VW polo. That thing got 65 MPG and even had a diesel particulate filter so its emission level were very low.

In my opinion, a modern diesel is much, much cleaner over-all than a shitty Prius.

Maybe we are the ones made of antimatter and what we consider to be antimatter is asking "why are we made of matter".

Shooting rockers at them.

Ever turned on Fox news?

While I agree with you that we must find a way to get the ass-hats out of here, I do not agree with direct-democracy. In fact, direct-democracy is absolute evil.
Direct-democracy is a system designed for a small majority to crush the basic rights of a minority. Direct-democracy is mob-rule by a fancier name.

I also do not really agree with big punishments for not doing what their constituencies tell them. Why? Because voters are stupid greedy animals. Think about it, voters are why we are in the situation we are in now! They cannot be trusted to serve the best interest of society.
A better idea, in my opinion at least, would be punishments for not serving the best interest of society they are elected to govern. Corruption should carry massive punishments. Depending on the scope, as far as life in prison or a firing squad.

I thought he was South African?

Of course it doesn't make you better at math. I know this because when I was in the military, I was electrocuted more times than I can ...count.

While I agree with you that OO/LO can handle much of what word is used for, I completely disagree that these are a suitable replacement for excel.
I have tried LO/OO on both mine and my wife's laptops as we both tend to do a lot of work while at home and do not wish to always bring our computers home.
For someone who is a "power user" of excel, these two programs are simply not sufficient.
The general performance issues aside, the functionality you get with excel 2013 just cannot be matched right now by OS software. I wish it could because it would have saved my 300 bucks.
After a week of use, my wife said she would continue to just bring her work laptop home until I bought "real" office.
