Of all the things banks do to get upset over, they chose this? Do these people not realize that not only are fees/ interest rates so high due to the insane number of people who pay late/ don't pay at all, but the banks are doing a huge favor to anyone who they loan money to. It's not like the loan money belongs directly to the bank; any money in there belongs to the account holders/investors who in reality should have a say in who does/doesn't get a loan. If I wanted a loan for more money than I make in a year, I would rightfully expect the bank to be skeptical of my ability to pay back. Maybe I'm just misguided but I have to side with the bank on this one for once. It's not like all their money comes from nowhere and they should have the right to be discretionary about who they loan to and the terms of the loan. If anything, bricking up the entrance is counter productive to their cause. When the banks found out about this shit, do you think they would be willing to give out a loan at all, let alone for the amount of fees stated in the article? Just because you're butt-hurt because you didn't get the loan doesn't mean you have to fuck over all of the employees and customers to the bank. Also, if the English police force works any bit like America, that's a huge waste of manpower and taxpayer money as well.

Considering the picture of the yacht in the post.... I would imagine that is correct. I would imagine that the picture is from a digital camera though, so it seems only to respond to the red recording light on most cam corders

Apparently, you aren't contributing to society. There's a difference between people being bald because they care about the environment and people being bald because they want us to THINK they're helping the environment. No, but seriously. This is a nice huge step. I'm excited to see what direction this heads in.

I may be wrong, but i think getitng your finget bitten off at a HEALTH CARE rally is against some kind of sanitation regulation. The irony is priceless.

I know B.O is generally considered a bad thing, but isn't something like

kind of subjective?

Don't you think Google is taking it a little far though? It's like me patenting the visual appearance of "Thursday, September 03"

Can you name 10 people who can't recognize Google?

I'm the same way, practically blind in my right eye. If someone could explain the difference to me, say compare whay a full HD tv would look like by a 3D tv, that would be great.

It's just like that teenager-deterrent noise: http://www.noloitering.ca/tone.html which was ironically, but hilarously turned against adults: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5434687 But, It all has to do with frequency. For all we know, there are some animals that CAN'T hear that 'alarm' Dog whistles, people. Dog whistles.

I believe the term is "inter-species erotica"

It's not like people just WONT start using IPV6, the deployment may be extremely low now, but people aren't just going to let the internets run out of room.

There, fixed that for ya.

Anybody wonder if Vanilla Ice has anything to do with this? Sorry, I had to.

I agree completely, the statistical theory (out of the gazillion planets/solar systems, how is Earth the only one with life) is kind of a weak one, but it works. On the other hand, maybe we only have a remote chance of recognizing this because while the 'as we know it' is implies, it is still stuck in the back of our (NASA's) minds as a liquid (see what i did there?) requirement. We are creatures of habit, and generally afraid of change, so we stick with what makes us comfortable.

when you see a fat bald man riding a tricycle, you WANT it to collapse at any second.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but while most people say "Life requires water" isnt it implied that "Life [as we know it] requires water"
