And hey, how did twitter ever copyright "twit" anyways? Clearly that belongds to the Monty Python competetive series (or perhaps Commonwealth Games category?) "High Class Twit Of The Year" !

Now I know why they named oit "Twit"ter (hey do I have to copyright that "joke"?)

Here they have no maximum sentences. Only minimum ones. Re:that court ruling supposedly "once again making it illegal" to rip cds, actually, the judge stated that they SHOULD have introduced a compensation scheme. That can only exist if it is legal to do. You cannot legally sanction criminal behavior, and a compensation scheme while ripping was illegal would do just that.

Eat yer heart out.. Internal combustion! Electric rules, here! There is absolutely NO way that an IC engine could ever hope to match this accelleration, NOT "speed". ."Speed" might sound better, but, way to bring the DOT down on ya, Tesla motors. You ASKING for it?

Well, no.. but they're handy for stopping, though..

Wow! What a list! And ALL counterfeit. THat's something you can take to the bank. Oh forgot.. "Replicas" Well, that's all right then eh?

It's entirely pointless it being free or not, if, like in most of B.C. (and probably most of the reat of Canada) public transport is far and few between.. such as a 60 minute wait for a 45 minute walk .. for a healthy sober person anyways.. and of course, the big one.. public transport stops running a half hour before the bars close down, and maybe an hour before the clubs close. *If* it were free, and more usable, then in the city, yeah.. 100% probablilty I would use it, as I hate driving in town. I live in the country though, now.. Beyond "rural" as the nearest town of any size is a half hour away and the nearest real city is 45 minutes to an hour to town... Going to the city on the bus is almost 75 minutes, and the local town is 45 minutes, but a 15-25 minute drive on the highway. Considering the frequency of service, there's little likelyhood of ever using the bus to either town, or the city. If it were free, ANSD usable=y frequent, , I might more often. We would have already had a rapid transit system to town already. They started talking about it when the local train service stopped. Unfortunately, nobody wanted it because they liked the remotenmess of their location, and didn't want where I was living (and grew up, actually) to become a suburban community. It's coming our direction anyways, since the debate, 10 miles closer. Currently, it's a bedroom community for the affluent.. so much so that I couldn't even buy into my own community. People that were born and raised there can't afford to live there.. ;-( However, a free rapid transit system would possibly change that, as well as save lives.. Essential services should NEVER be run solely for profit, or even as a break-even exercise. That's why we have taxes, after all

Ah yes, but a lot of people who call themselves "gamers", are often more than that. By rights you could call them game "collectors"..

Well, perhaps the article could also say "how bad summaries can ruin articles" , because the submission say nothing about "Bad" useer interfaces - quote: "Submission: UI Fail: How Our User interfaces Help to Ruin Lives" but at the top of the page "How Bad User Interfaces Can Ruin Lives".

I don't see anyone asking the obvious question.. Why? Now "vandals" might knock over a mailbox or cut the cable from the telephone pole to the house, but to use special cutting tools, dressing up as workers and using spy vs spy tactics isn't vandals anymore. SOMEBODY is pissed at these companies for going fiberoptic.. Maybe a suddenly out of work standard cable installer?

Truly leading the pack...In undergarment searches, cameras in the loo, on every street corner in the entire country, plus over every doorway and in every hotel room.. all properly fitted with the newest facial recognition software. And microphones! Where ever the cameras are, with high tech audio filtering. And yes, even aimed at residential windows where they can even hear through walls. . So, my oh my, it must have stung then to hear about the American data collection of all posts and emails , when the UK simply didn't have anything nearly as invasive. Well, they've fixed that NOW.. with "no safe space". Now they can safely hear private communications about junior's pooping in his diaper over and over, or what a twit the local mayor is, or, y'knoiw, whatever.Frankly,. I doubt they'll catch anyone planning harm or fear and loathing to society via email or the phone, but I bet they're dyiing to "accidentally" overhear someone planning to harvest their grow-op.. Once they (didn't) hear that, they now know to pull their car over for a full search on suspicion of speeding. George Orwell would be so proud of what his mother country has become. :satire:

Naw.. I absolutely despise Vista, but I got a a legit builders disk for $30 so I jumped on it. -unfortunately it's 64 bit only, which would be fine but there's lotsa compability issues with it. I'm on a really tight disability pension so just can't afford one and a half C notes for "7". That's what it is here, STILL, in Canada. I've got a lot (a smokin' whole lot) of digital Pinball games that just run on PC formats i.e. Dos, or Windows

... Just glad there's nothing about ME in it...

I don't know that I've enjoyed reading such a witty thread since, oh, I don't know.. '95?

Well, I don't give a rats ass which browser is Hip or supported or what the fook. If it loads all my web pages quickly and doesn't crash, like Chrome used to do, then that's fine. Unfortunately, since I don't know how to turn off automatic updates on chrome, I've been stuck with the crashy, increasingly incompatible builds, with that horrible bookmark manager that I luckily managed to revert back, for the moment, untiil they block that option too.. I DREAD the day that I am going to have to switch back to Safari on my Mac. At least I still have Torchbrowser (Chrome, really), which never gets updated anymore so no new buggy builds ...
