I sold her already. You do know we are in a recession.

He got one of those pop-up lawyers that have now been hounded. He paid up £600 (if memory serves), he has a house though and was worried about losing thousands. I have nothing so it would have been interesting for them to try to sue me - although I have a wife so hmmm :)

Although the six degrees of separation doesn't work in the way that most people think. There is generally a couple of really well connected people in the network. I find this to be true with my friends where most people have a few other friends(less actual close friends) and one person who knows and keeps in contact with say 50ish. He collects friends.

This is what happened in the original experiment with the letters.

"In an experiment in which 160 letters were mailed out, 24 reached the target in his Sharon, Massachusetts home. Of those 24, 16 were given to the target person by the same person Milgram calls "Mr. Jacobs", a clothing merchant. Of those that reached him at his office, more than half came from two other men.[5]"

All over again.

Green lights all the way with my greenlightduino.

You would have a job doing that as she is dead. :)

They can also apparently pull you if you have a similar in any way plate. try diff make of car and dark blue vs yellow. very embarrassing in a professional situation.

  The police in the UK have pulled me whilst i was stationary.
Overzealous special police office.

Do not trust the police they are in the main, like traffic warden.

English - its the standard language - Just shout loud enough and even deaf people will understand. :)

Except after reading that - my lawyer would be now being called and he would be wondering about the Arabic part ;)

O for my mod points +6 funny :)

Thanks for that. I thought that I had heard that sentiment on Slashdot a couple of times and it was bugging me.

I thought you had made a typo with chaebol but no http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaebol

"Chaebol (from chae: wealth or property + pl: faction or clan)[1] refers to a South Korean form of business conglomerate. They are global multinationals owning numerous international enterprises. The term is often used in a context similar to that of the English word "conglomerate". The term was first used in 1984.[1]"

Why would one want to learn about docsis?

I looked it up and its about cable tv and fibre connections.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS

Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) (often pronounced /dkss/) is an international telecommunications standard that permits the addition of high-speed data transfer to an existing cable TV (CATV) system. It is employed by many cable television operators to provide Internet access (see cable Internet) over their existing hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) infrastructure.
