Re: Hotel Facebook

"Re: Hotel Facebook

What a small and sad life you lead."

"What a relatively private, un-interupted, law abiding, tax paying, junk mail / phone calls etc free life i lead".

There, corrected that for you.

Re: Hotel Facebook

Thats why yopu should NEVER submit wholly genuine details. Enough to get your account, yes, enough for them to launch ad after ad at you with no means of stopping them?. No.

Every advert i get on FB (and i have the most minimal account to keep in touch with the rest of my sheeple mates) gets reported as being sexually explicit. Just to fuck up their figures..

Try it, its quite satisfying. Also, living in Tongo means i have very few targeted ads as its the least populated place i could find to say i came from!!!!

Fuck you.......Bitch...

Erm, boric acid works on ants as a stomach poison. It doesnt affect their joints in any way at all....Furthermore, they wont ingest it unless its mixed with a sugar or protein based food (honey/peanut butter).

Besides, Quantum Maxforce (Imidacloprid) will deal with the entire colony....

Erm.

what about the PIN?

These devices need a camera to record you input your PIN.

Cover the keypad, they cant see your PIN and cant use your card!!!!!

Excellent news.

As a WP8 user, i was starting to wonder if i had made the right choice. This is encouraging news...

I would like to see better ways to close an app instead of having to flick back.

Better, easier multitasking would be nice, a better SMS UI and a bit of a polish to some of its rough edges.

Also, the copy and paste options need improvement.....

But the radio is the thing i miss the most.

Re: Yawn

Are you a woman?

I ask because " taking a cheese grater to your wedding tackle would arguably be less unpleasant".

There is NOWT worse than "itchy scrot" and a cheesegrater provides blissful relief from the condition.

Ahh..

"“Fact is that any game can be cracked, so all you do is spend time on something that in the end just annoys your real customers while only slightly delaying the inevitable,” he writes of DRM. “"

He finally gets its, but as the story last week about "Game Of Thrones" making beelions of $, despite being pirated left rigjht and centre demonstrates.

Truth is this. Make a product people want and they WILL buy it.

Erm,

last time i checked, sheep were somewhat "wooly"

As this technique makes only the skin glow, as far as herding and locating sheep, seems to be a bit of a non starter...

Re: Good!

Actually, she sounds like her head is screwed on.

You call one of these "emotionally sensitive" women (or "men") a name and see how long it takes to wipe the smile off your face as you are dragged through a process which, in all probability, will result in a fine / losing your job etc etc...

A slighty off-the-cuff remark these days will land you in a load of trouble because we are so entrenched in not offending people its now not even funny.....

I work with em, i once told my colleugue that our new team leader was a "twat", quietly between myself and him. Some politically correct, offended by anything lesbian tree hugger heard this and off she went reporting me... I had offended her by calling HIM a twat, she had just overheard me whilst walking past and that was enough for a full investigation into why i thought he was a class 1 twat, why i shouldn't have said it and how it's not done these days... I'm 44, not 21 and having some farty little 20 year old report me shows what a fucking joke this system of political correctness is. I shall be glad when i expire. Our planet and future standing is being ruined by people who cannot see beyond their own imposed moral standards.....

All these people with these "issues" should all be taken to somewhere where real abuse happens, a place where, for the perpatrators there tends to be no recriminations and the victim is ostracised...

They would soon shut the fuck up about being called "love" or "darling" or whatever...

Offence is taken, not given and its all to easy these days to scream "i've been insulted", then sit back, waiting for the vultures (lawyers) to jump on the band wagon.

That daft cow who took offence at a dongle joke a few weeks ago and had some innocent chap sacked.. THATS the kind of loose emotionally tetchy idiot we DONT want in the workplace.

Re: Bioethanol from crops?

If you use wood,cellulose etc then you get methanol, not ethanol, which is alchohol basically. Don't know if that makes any difference as fuel but methanol is a tad more toxic. Its what bootleggers used to cut with ethanol back in the days of prohibition and is the cause of the myth that moonshine makes you blind...

Re: Hmm,

You do indeed.

IIRC the price per unit of electricity for UK prepay meters is (roughly) 2x that for billed meters.

Rent the house. Cant change the meter..

Of course it does mean you've got some light, TV and internet if you've just raided the local supermarket for cider.

I do hope that isn't some sort of a dig at my (unknown to you) employment status.

If it is then, i work full time, have done so since leaving school, have no kids and cost the state the least possible amount, so fuck you...

If its not, then i'm sorry but i dont know what it is you are trying to say. Would you elucidate please?

Hmm,

A faraday cage consisting of tinfoil is about to be fitted into my little cupboard where my PREPAY mater goes.

They can bollocks if they think they are controlling my use of the invisible juice. I pay for it up front and i pay a lot. My monthly leccy bill is about £120....Slightly less in summer...

I will employ *every* dirty (but legal) trick in the book to thwart the meters attempts to dictate when i can have power...

"The firs developers that do this will make a lot of money".

No, they wont. The price of the apps is so low as to be appealing. Very few apps make lots of money. The ingame purchases / adverts / generate that missing revenue directly for the developers.

Rock and a hard place.

Perhaps an age verificaction system may be more appropriate...

Personally, i detest any adverts or ingame purchasing. Its a slimy bastards trick......
