I bet LD50 would. http://andrewferguson.net/2005/11/07/death-by-caffeine-calculator/

I'm sure the dead people are really glad they weren't intentionally killed. Fuck's sake.
PS. Didn't stop in '75. "In November 2000 the European Parliament invited IBFAN, UNICEF, and Nestlé ... UNICEF's legal officer commented on Nestlé's failure to bring its policies into line with the World Health Assembly Resolutions. Nestlé declined an invitation to attend". Fuck Nestle.

That's utter bullshit. NHS does urgent stuff pretty well; try going to a private hospital with a heart attack and see how quickly they get you to an NHS hospital. I have a friend who's kid is in the hospital down the road for urgent cardiac care.

It probably falls down for chronic, long term complaints like painful but not acute knees, hips, etc. But that's a whole different kettle of fish.

FUCKING YES!

Now, I've only presented with mainstream, acute conditions where everyone knows what to do - like a broken arm for example - but I've always found the NHS pretty good. The bare minimum of treatment is the right treatment; re-set it, put a cast on and then send me home. You are re right about the food though.

The question is whether you think the constitution applies to citizens of the US only, or everyone. By my reading, everyone in the world has 1st amendment rights - ie. the US government shall not attempt to restrict their speech. But IANAL.

OTOH, I've very happy with them. Reliably 20Mb/s down, and 2Mb/s up, soon to be doubled, with minimal downtime. I think it depends on the local area you're in, as they are basically an amalgamation of many, many different cable companies.

I can't speak for Latvia, but guys I have worked with in Tallinn, Estonia were good. I apologise for the drunken English tourists on stag weekends :)

Sure, you could instead have essentially an uncooked McDonalds beefburger with a raw egg on. Much yummier!

"Alcohol and tobacco are easier to control because production of a high quality finished product is much more difficult."

True, look at Budweiser/Anheuser Busch for example.

I heard this when I was working in BT's data mining group back in 1997 or something. It turns out to be not true I think: http://web.onetel.net.uk/~hibou/Beer%20and%20Nappies.html (plus other cites off snopes)

bonus points; if my bags come out at the carousel the destination airport, that would be nice too.

But how are you coping with the almost unprecedented high of 16 degrees Celsius?

(pissing it down in Bristol, at least we haven't got an amber weather warning like in the Midlands/Yorkshire way.)

"The first optical mouse."
Bollocks. I was using a SUN optical mouse way before MS came out with anything.

That's horseshit we feed to tourists I'm afraid.
