Would certainly reduce congestion on the roads - I can just see Cpatain Slow and the hampster trying to coach Jeremy Clarkson through that part of the driving test
Quick question--do you know how your mouse or trackpad works?
The next obvious step is not to use it unless you can understand it.
So you're not going to use your car because you don't understand internal combustion engines or the chemical properties of gasoline?
But you probably would want the bomb to go off in the event that the bomber is shot down.
No. What if the bomber just took off? You'd lose an entire AFB or carrier group.
It's probably rooted in the fact that American commercials shown overseas won't produce any revenue. I despise Hulu because I pay monthly for service and still get commercials...and the interface sucks compared to NetFlix.
Then do what I do--vote with my wallet, and stop paying for Hulu Plus, and stick with Netflix. So I'm a year or two behind--so what? I can watch years and years of a single show, and then do the same with another show. I never run out of stuff to watch and never see a commercial. Why bother with Hulu?
Yeah how about trying "We were ordered to do it by the US government and we can't give you details because a) national security and b) gag order". Seems to work for the government, why can't it work for Google?
Because they've had 2 years to make that argument, and making it now isn't credible?
Even 16 episodes for $22.99 is way too much. You think AMC makes that much off cable viewers? No way.
For that kind of price you could get the DVDs. This is why I wait for shows to be on Netflix.
22.99 is for the high-def version; would you consider that an acceptable price for the Blu-ray disks? It's $14.99 for the standard definition. It is a complete rip-off for only 8 episodes, but seems like a decent price for 16.
Does anyone know if there is gold in Fort Knox still? Or is this one of those questions that isn't supposed to be asked or answered? If so, I apologize for asking it, but I'd be enlightened to know anything about this situation.
And, if you don't believe the government, the Mint is audited by KPMG
Most of NSA and CIA funding comes from the transport and sale of contraband, weapons, drugs, any other 'controlled' substance, and money laundering through the banks.
Yeah, I just read that entire article, and I don't see a single mention of the NSA or CIA. Do you have any actual citations, or only unrelated ones?
To try and put in context. As long as the guy had a genuinely difficult/unhelpful time dealing with BA customer service then he's fine. If that isn't true, for example they responded quickly and repeatedly but he ignored it. He shouted and was rude to them immediately on the phone making it impossible for them to capably serve him etc. In those circumstances they would have valid grounds for libel in the UK because what he is saying isn't true. Though BA would never pursue it because it would simply make it a bigger story.
But the word "horrendous" is not a factual word; it has no legal meaning. BA can say "we helped him 15 times and found his bag in 20 minutes and paid him 100 pounds for his trouble", and those are all factual statements that they could (and should, if true) present for their side of the argument in court of public opinion. But "horrendous" is still an opinion and opinions are not libelous, in the United States. Like I said, in the UK things are different, and he probably can be sued for his statement of opinion--but if he is a US citizen then the US will refuse to extradite him for a free speech violation.
But is it libel if it's true?
His tweet said "their customer service is horrendous." That clearly makes it a matter of opinion, which is protected by free speech laws in the US. However, British laws are much more "protective" of the "victims" of "big meanies" who share their opinions in public.
Nuclear weapons also just "burn" people. They are not used specifically for their fallout either. What's the problem?
The problem is that nuclear weapons cause too much "collateral damage". As in, not only did the military base cease to exist, but the hospital and schools around it are gone, too. Don't forget the orphanage, the retirement home, and the church/synagogue/mosque/etc.
There's a guy there?
We have totally un-attended gas stations, with nobody around but a phone to pick up in the place is on fire or something. Why does there have to be a guy there? To swipe (as in steal) your card?
To sell me candy! Also, to help the handicapped who can drive but who have trouble navigating the space between the pump and the vehicle while in a wheelchair.
What is this world coming to when a porn company is not completely on the up-and-up?
Actually, they are a law firm that purchased the rights to the films from a porn company, and then "gifted" the copyright to a random guy that the owner of the law firm knew; their business model was to sue those who were sharing the film illegally. But giving the film away for free get the downloaders off the hook, IANAL.
