And people ask what the point of having the monarchy around is.

And then threaten to close those kitchens when there's the possibility they might have to provide benefits to same sex partners in accordance with proposed law. In other words, using their "good works" as a stick to enforce their religious beliefs into the law. Moral, my arse.

But this story is in the Daily Mail. Since I don't believe anything they say maybe Russia *hasn't* denied it?

You don't sign a license agreement saying you won't put the engine in another car. Now, you can argue whether or not license agreements are fair or not and you can work your ass off to get the law changed so that you actually own the software you buy instead of just licensing it (good luck with that), but at the minute the law is on Apple's side.

Every other company also makes 5% margin compared to Apple's 30%*, Should Apple also cut their margins to be with the cool crowd?

*figures pulled from ass, but not far from reality.

Please explain to me why I am a fool for buying the system that best enables me to do my work? I have, at various times, primarily used Windows, Linux and OSX and, currently, OSX is the system that works best for me. Considering the price differences amount to a couple of hours pay yet the productivity gains amount to more than that every month, wouldn't I be a fool *not* to use it?

I think the UK is pretty well sorted since we have no "influencing" borders to persuade us to change. Any idea why an island would have decided it would be worth the effort to make the transition?

Hmm, interesting. I would love to see the outrage if the UK tried to close all the roads for a weekend :)

It would also be interesting to see the increase in number of accidents, particularly with everyone having the steering wheel on the wrong side, not to mention the issue with all the headlights shining in oncoming drivers eyes.

Am I the only one that sees an issue where cars drive on the left and trucks and buses drive on the right?

Being in the UK my Google Voice account is pretty much useless, but doesn't GV render the changing number issue moot?

Don't most big companies have a policy of ignoring any letters that are suggestions, to stop people suing the company for royalties if they implement a similar idea?

It didn't specify *what* efforts. I was going with asteroids as they are the most immediate threat to life on the planet. Work out how to keep ourselves safe long enough to do the rest.

Mogambo!

I'd go with Betty. But I'd be thinking about Wilma.

I'm so not a maths geek, but why is this useful other than being able to say "hey, we found the first trillion congruent numbers"?

I know that certain branches are useful for cryptography purposes, but what awesomeness does this let us do?
