Seriously? Not that I've ever noticed, anyway. Generally if I go out for a pizza, its been made on premesis. Or if its a supermarket one, it won't have travelled round the world.

Regardless, the question was where you had it, not where it came from originally.

Yarrr! GTFO with your **AA newspeak FUD! Go back to your **AA masters and hail them you drone!

I swear, soon I’m gonna stab anyone who ever uses that word in that context again. Help mother nature a bit with the natural selection of total fucking retards!

Uh... explain then why European & Japanese manufacturers can make high mpg with the same four-stroke engine technology? Oil lobby aside, the technology has more efficiency possible.

And irrespective of that, two-stroke doesn't necessarily mean less fuel consumption - and is far more likely to mean higher lubrication oil consumption.

Where on earth did you get the idea that Europe subsidises diesel?

That's more likely to be a pattern of behaviour - distances between cities and key locations are smaller due to higher density, and roads are narrower in Europe, so having a massive car is more likely to be an inconvenience.

I get a lot of reaction from the yeast, actually. The dough is constantly 'burping' as I mix it, and the in the oven, it produces bubbles across the whole crust, big enough to have to pop half the time. The yeast also adds to the flavor, and since I have so much of it in the freezer (move it to the fridge as needed), there's no need to use anything else. There's never a time that the yeast is inactive once it has water, heat and sugar.

I also make tortillas and bagels with the same flour - and I can assure you, the texture is not at all similar to either. It's pizza through and through - and I've had a LOT of variety of pizzas to compare it to. It's just a nice thin, extra-bubbly crust - with a good real flavor to it - not too 'crackery' to be flavorless, nor too bready, or all the other flaws that come with quick pizzas of all sorts. It's got a nice powedery-to-crusty transition that carries the 'stone-cooked' flavor just right for my tastes.

Zing!

EEE only applies to open standard Microsoft targets. And exFAT is a proprietary standard solely developed by Microsoft. What is the point for ruining their own standard and make their customers and manufacturers angry?

The "reinstalling someone's new XP-SP2 machine" should have been the clue to aid you in reading comprehension and show it has nothing to do with whether I'm good at anything or not. They bought it, installed XP, and had a virus within minutes so brought it in to work to see if I could sort it out (wipe and reinstall, only way to be sure). For some reason malware got on there before the antivirus could deal with it.
No need to go in for personal attacks just because someone has a very recent example which shows your point is incorrect.

Thanks for the apology, it is appreciated. I don't have a problem with the word "impaired", in fact it seems apt. On the other hand, I find the word "retarded" to be hateful and pejorative. That's all I'm saying.

Words have specific meanings. When you call an entire class of people a word that has become a slur, you should expect that you're hurting someone's feelings. I don't think I'm asking too much here to keep that in mind. And I also think that we're having a relatively civilized discussion, how do you think I attacked you?

Nice to see a reference to Colossus: The Forbin Project in the document. That film is under-appreciated, especially its own copyright owner. Where's our widescreen format, region 1 DVD, jerks!

Why does every discussion on this site end up in black-and-white? Is it so difficult to see the shades of grey?

Social networking sites, like real-world socialising, should support different social groups. People have different circles, and they interact with them differently. Why must a social networking site mean you have to say and show to the exact same degree to *everyone*? You don't do that in real life so why view a website that way?

I have family, friends, work colleagues as Facebook 'friends'. Do you really believe that I should only put on the lowest-common-denominator information?

You can run DNS Benchmark to check the speed DNS servers.

You people at Verizon are a bunch of asswipes.

But dude, that's on-topic.

Oh, man. We need to recover this thread, ASAP.

I just had a cookie. I like cookies. Especially Farmers Market oatmeal raisin cookies, homemade ginger crinkles, and those butter cookies that only Mom makes right.

Do you like cookies?

I do.

Darwin is not OSX or whatever it's called. It's like saying that Debian is Linux. Darwin is just the kernel, OSX is the real deal. Open Source everything that sits on top of Darwin and maybe I'll call OSX open source. OSX-OSS???

Yes, but it did spark an interesting debate on whether it was Russia beat the Germans or not.

Wow. Only 13 posts and Godwin's law is already invoked. Perhaps you didn't use the word "Nazi", but you are referring to the time period. Someone was bound to mention it sooner or later. OK, say it was 14 posts (counting mine). Well done.

Being the case that even slashdot crowd is complaining about google's "great idea" I am sure Ballmer should be laughing out loud at Google Chrome :)
