Shakje - putting the 'K' in kwality

Yawn, nothing worse than watching ignorance in action....

I assume you'll be able to find someone to read it to you.

They are changing the H1B program (sort of)

Merkin senator Charles Schumer is putting a bill before the senate and would offer up to 10,000 working visas per year to Irish citizens to work in the United States, the visas will be called E3 visas and are similar to the ones already given to Australians and will allow people to work in merkin-land if they can find a sponsoring employer, however, unlike the H1B visas time worked in merkin-land on an E3 does not count towards getting a green card or citizenship = come and work for us and if you cause any problems or look for pay rises you can fuck off home.

"There are also the two HTC drawbacks that are making me consider an alternative manufacturer at update time: poor camera and poor battery life".

Well if you are unhappy with the battery life of the HTC you could always get a fruity 4S!

$40m may sound a lot but remember google also want to give $33m to NASA to give Hangar One a makeover so that they have somewhere nice to stash their fleet of eight private jets!

No doubt the donation to the charitable fund will be made in whatever country has the highest tax, any chance it will be made from one of the international tax havens that google operate from.

Just because I'm a cynical old git doesn’t mean that there isn’t some financial advantage to google in doing this.

@Shoot Them Later

That's OK, I got the joke.

Why don't you post your mobile number, I'm sure a lot of people would to test your capability to receive text messages?

To be boldly buried where no one has been buried before

Portions of the cremated remains of Gene Roddenberry, Timothy Leary and 22 other people were put into orbit onboard a Pegasus rocket in 1997 which remained in orbit until 2002.

Some of Eugene Shoemaker remains were carried to the moon onboard the Lunar Prospector in 1998, so strictly speaking the only person buried in space is Eugene Shoemaker.

Why Not??

Why is it not possible to build a firewall app?????

Is there something specific in android that prevents a zone alarm type app from working.

Very suspicious, google creates OS where you can't block access to the ad-server, it's enough to make you want to like a life of seclusion in the walled garden!

I for one…

...do not see any irony in that.

I do see some irony in the fact that the copyright mafiaa would sue napster/kazaa et al. for breach of copyright and then use similat technology themselves without having to pay any royalties for using it.

Of course the *MOST* ironic thing that could have happened is for the copyright mafiaa to have said to napster/kazaa et al. “Hey! That a great bit of technology you have there, can we buy it from you so we can use it as a delivery medium for the music we want to sell”

No, you are just a equally valued person that is OS non-preferential or possibly you are transOSgendered

Can I send you my CV?

The devil is in the detail

However, the two experiments are only seeing the god particles at 2.5 to 3.5 stigmata

Problems....

Well if $DEITY did design it he couldn’t have been 500 million years ago because some followers of $DEITY believe that the earth was created only 6,000 years ago over a six-day period.

Which explains why it is extinct, obviously 6,000 year old aussi’s hunted it to extinction, probably no doubt mounted on dinosaurs with saddles – see the Creation “Museum” near Petersburg, Kentucky

I'd love to know why GaboonViper67's post got so many downvotes

They were probably shot because they did not pay their protection money to the Sao Paulo plods.

I never cared much for the vesta chicken curry, I much preferred the chow mein.

Icon, extra chillies please

May I suggest...

...that you use the Paris Icon

Possibility because Voyager 1 was launched on a shorter trajectory to the planets, Voyager 1 arrived at Jupiter in January 1979 whereas voyager 2 reached Jupiter in July 1979.

Obligatory phallic reference

You don’t normally find spiders in bunches of bananas and I’d think the reason is because bananas are transported in a unripened state and are ripened by exposing then to xylene gas, and considering spiders have such poor respiratory systems, probably kills them.

And now the real reason for making a post

Paris, ‘cos she likes to eat bananas . . . . . . . . . . oh hang on, that wasn’t a banana, was it?

Southpark - "The Snuke" S11 E4

What like this?????

"Stan heads over to Kyle's house to see what he's doing when Kyle explains to him he did a Google search for Hillary Clinton campaign rally and was led to YouTube account where a Russian man, Vladimir Stolfsky, has videos of every single Hillary Clinton rally. He then cross referenced his Youtube profile with his MySpace page and discovered, and according to his blog he's an old school communist. Kyle and Stan find a bunch of old Podcasts by Vladimir with links to eBay, where they plan to search his user name and see what he's been buying."

"hay we are 99.99% sure there is life on earth and some of it might even be intelligent"

Yep, that sounds about right to me....

The chairperson (fixed it for you) of your bank views small shareholders at an AGM the way you would view a lump of dog shit on the sole of your shoe, how do I get rid of it without having to touch it.

You could get 5,000 people at an company’s X AGM, all of them critical of a companies directors, but when it comes to a shareholder vote, the number of voting shares held by the 5,000 are totally insignificant when compared the voting shares held by other companies (where some of the directors of company X are also directors).

So when the vote for the remuneration package for the directors of company X takes place the 5,000 vote against the package but all the OTHER companies vote for it, company X then issue a press release saying that the shareholders have confidence in the directors of company X.

As part of this incestuous relationship, the directors of company X then return the favour to the other companies at their AGMs.

Anybody who thinks that being a shareholder in a company somehow gives you a say in how a company is run us delusional, well not unless you own at least 30% of the company.

Over to the right a bit....
