You joke, but here you go.

That is untrue. The prosecution was for "gross indecency" with a 19 year old man, who was also prosecuted.

Thank you. I'm glad someone saw what I meant :(

God this is tedious. I was making a joke. It wasn't a very funny one, but that is all it was. I made a joke about someone describing a volume as 1.5 times a quarter of eight of something we can't all agree on. I very clearly referred to a quart as a quarter of 8 pints, to which Megane retorted "A quart is a quarter of a gallon, not a quarter of a pint." Excellent reading comprehension skills there. When I asked if there was some kind of gallon that was not made of 8 pints, given that Megane was trying very hard to contradict me while actually agreeing with me, noh8rz10 replied with a condescending reply saying that yes, there are 8 pints in a gallon, and asking if I had any other questions that need answering. Now, I know it is extremely unfashionable on this site to read the article, but it does behoove one to read the comment they are replying to, and in cases where you are making comment on other peoples comments on previous comments, to read the whole bloody thread. In this case, there were 4 sentences, apart from a list of measurement conversions, to read, and you somehow arrived at the conclusion that rather than the possibility that there are 2 people on the internet who are incapable of reading 10 words correctly, that I must have phrased my words incorrectly, and you choose this as a way of deciding instead of reading 4 sentences?

any qs?

No questions. I was merely pointing out that Megane above did not read what I wrote. Obviously you didn't either. Nevermind.

And are these gallons of yours some newfangled ones that are not made up of 8 pints?

Was that 1.5 quarters of eight American or English pints?

Would that be Brian May?

I agree! It's a good thing that your statement has 50% less disagreement.

Beacause it had at least 50% more trolling.

Option 1 should be used in some form for any hardware repair job. Remove disk, replace with disk containing freshly installed virgin OS. Beside the frustration of having to deal with idiots telling you that software that isn't specifically allowed automatically invalidates the warranty (and I have been told this by HP Proliant server support staff regarding Redhat, a flavour of linux that they readily supply support for on their website), who knows who is going to end up looking at your hard drive? I'd rather not have the hard drive of a machine I use for internet banking in the hands of someone I don't know. Plus, when they are finished with it, they WILL wipe the drive and install a fresh OS. If yo have anything you want to keep, take the drive out.

Whoa, easy there. That could be misconstrued.... and if you were referring to the homo genus, homo sapiens neanderthalensis was a member.

Do we know that for sure? The linked article requires a subscription, but if it is the same as this story then it was based on an analysis of the DNA of a single individual from circa 5000BC, who was closely related to northern Europeans but was living in Spain. There are many interpretations one could make from that: that all Europeans were similar to this man, that this guy was of mixed parentage and was relatively unique, that he belonged to a splinter population that got wiped out... I am sure there are many other plausible hypotheses. At the end of the day, you are trying to make a guess about the entire population of Europe from a sample size of one individual near Europe's borders. Was this some other study, and if so can you provide some details please?

Everyone pays for everyone else's children. Since he has been found by the court to be financially responsible for the child, is he going to be given the normal tax breaks associated with dependents?

Could restate your opinion in a way that makes some semblance of logical sense? I have no idea what property rights in America you claim "European busybodies" are infringing by refusing to sell to murderers.
