You can buy a car in Britain with its licence.
Presumably you can buy a TV ditto?
Though it is the home that has that one. (I think.)

Then there is a fishing license. That's per rod but you can be using any number of any rods if you have that number of licenses.

He has helped a lot of morons to realise, finally, that there is no difference between the USA and the USSR, that there never was a difference between the USA and the USSR and that there never will be a difference between the USA and the USSR.

Apart from that there isn't much difference between this case and all the other cases brought against whistle-blowers everywhere, including the Brit that got pulled out of Australia for writing a book about the Brits.

And it goes all the way back to the McCarthy witch hunts and further: United Fruit and the CIA and it touches on the exploits of Admiral Vanderbilt in central America. In fact you could blame the whole Colombian drugs cartel business on the way Central America was carved up by the USA.

All good clean fun for the family's enematainment.

Pity we won't be given the customer fall out from this. It would be a pretty picture, I am sure.

Why not just subscribe to The Pirate Bay?

I needed a birth certificate, proof of my national insurance number and all my bank details.

I had to sign a waiver about my bank account and agreed to have some of my wages docked for this and that reason.

Then the interview began.

After we had to sit through all the advertising bullshit for Morrisons, the company employing the agency running the scam... (I wish I could get hold of some of the presentation videos. If you remember the deer in the headlights clip of Tony Blair visiting the USA after realising he'd just got rogered into a phoney war, it was like that) they wanted to know just how desperate we were and how reliable we'd be.

I wonder just how many of these sorts of scams people like the large supermarkets pull. Their in house "agency" only running the personnel office of that one branch not the whole chain.

And only offering a few days here and there as needed and no sick pay if you fail to meet their stringent quarantine laws. It's back to the Victorian era in time for the Jubilee.

What a pity it is illegal to enquire back. Anyone here know anyone from Anonymous, know what I mean, wink, nudge?

You are right they shouldn't ever be told that they are making a mistake.

How long have you been employed by AMD?

Absolutely

Ah, hang on. I can remember when the railways were de-nationalised in this country. The morons who got the control suddenly decided that people who used bicycles were going to have to pay for their tickets and their bike's space on the train.

So the people who had bikes had a choice, use the bike or use the car.

And that means their architecture will be the best?

How does that work when the people who need to know can't couple their expertise with their expertise?

1. Grandma's zombie is dead so it isn't an offence to kill it. If she isn't stopped, she will remain a liability till death does her part.

2. Being afraid of governments makes fearsome governments. Being afraid of criminals makes powerful criminals.

If anyone reading this is considering such an attack, fetch a better weapon.

A broken pencil can do as much damage to the attacker as the victim. And the victim will be seriously annoyed. And your pen will no longer be mightier than a sword as it is now defunct.

If you are in a situation where a pencil or a biro is all you have, you need to get it behind the person you are defending yourself from and in a position you can pull it into soft flesh without it breaking and before he kills you.

That means his neck.

If you can get both hands on it, keep pulling until you can write the result on your shirt. If you can't, you may lose -badly.

In my case, that would depend on whether I was paid per view or paying per view.

If no money was involved that would soon exclude me in.

Is this to do with the Great Game or just the stuff the rest of us don't play in real life?

Because the IBM advert in here:

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1204_omap4460&num=1 just wouldn't go away.

And the results table wasn't designed to work properly on Ubuntu. Not on my Ubuntu at least.

Or maybe it doesn't like Opera. (Whose DDoSsing them by the way?

Not the Persians shirley?)

So what I was thinking is... that with a super-fast Ubuntu desktop, can Tetris work?

Or Pacman?

Anyway, now that you have scared everyone off Intel Chips and Microsoft Operating systems....

Besides nuclear bunkers, what's next to build?

Scientific Linux is a Linux release put together by Fermilab, CERN, and various other labs and universities around the world. Its primary purpose is to reduce duplicated effort of the labs, and to have a common install base for the various experimenters.

>>>The base SL distribution is basically Enterprise Linux, recompiled from source. Our main goal for the base distribution is to have everything compatible with Enterprise, with only a few minor additions or changes. Examples of items that were added are Alpine, and OpenAFS.

Our secondary goal is to allow easy customization for a site, without disturbing the Scientific Linux base. The various labs are able to add their own modifications to their own site areas.

By the magic of scripts, and the anaconda installer, each site is to be able to create their own distributions with minimal effort. Or, if a user wishes, they can simply install the base SL release.

Pity nobody told the Persians.

If I'd knowed that a Kindle could be used to write stuff on and store stuff and stuff I udda got one by now.

Why make a thing more complex than it need be?

You lose a lot of usefulness by dumbing it down like that.

At 3000 dollars a throw, I'd have converted Sony Walkmans years ago if I knew how.

So much for human ingenuity and free enterprise.

A country like yours would be more likely to vote a chimpanzee into office rather than get a few basic people problems solved.

Oh wait...

You did. That's it then, problem shelved. You will have to wait for the British again.
