If we are getting deeply and uncomfortably honest, some people simply don't like their parents, and dont want anything to do with them. Not all parents are particularly great to their kids, to greater or lesser extents. In no way am I

Yeah, I think in practice, as drawn, the red wheels would simply jam up. And if they don't, the outer rim of the big wheel would not hold its place relative to the inner part. I dont see how the outer rim could be solid enough, relativ

Could not agree more. Its almost frighting. It kinda reminds me, as a long standing Formula 1 fan, of what NASCAR looked like on TV when I first started watching it. It was like being assaulted with brand names. Quite a culture shock. Howev

The creator will get zero if punters get irritated with having to run back and forth to their PC's, and just down load the work and consume it locally.

I can't know, but I imagine you cause a lot of internal grief. Bosses would have been kicking off, blaming techies for it, one way or another. I imagine a couple of decision making noses were well put out of joint, if not broken. Egos

" Without your knowledge? Really?" Dunno many people who buy cars having any idea of the privacy issues of driving the nice new shiny car. Most normal people are only just realising that their entire online activity is recorded in

Surely we all do, unless we have specific reason for not doing so? Control the controlables, isn't that the phrase?

The article references an article published in 1991. Does that need stating too?

It shows that, like its British equivalents, the NSA is not an intelligence service who purpose is to protect American people, its a propaganda tool of the sitting government used against its people. Never forget, the one single thing gover

Well, it didnt take too long. Interesting that now "controversial" means "popular".

American and allied lap dogs will. And that helps demonise the "enemy", thus justifying the over reaches and so on.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how hard would it be to add a boat that realistically bobs up and down with the water?

The post I was replying to was about US citizens, not HN. BTW, who are you to say what is crap and what is not? I mean, I may consider your reply to be crap.

Makes you have to wonder about the assisted suicide debate, either way.

Well, sort of, the web site is the newspaper's hypocrisy. No? You are correct, the DM does excel at what it does. On the face of it, the impression I get is that the paper does have a consistent vibe. I mean, I despise its views, but I

Sure, but if you don't get that "90%" right first, your "20%" becomes irrelevant. Too many don't get the "90%" right.

Not the newspaper its self, but online, it apparently is, sickeningly. Dunno where we get the numbers, but perhaps you do and can knock the claim down. A nation might thank you for doing so.

There is a difference between the Daily Mail newspaper, which is a scare mongering right wing hate rag which has as much relation to truth and news as say Fox News, and its website which is pretty much a celeb stuff and sort of a soft porn

Used to have much fun with an ex-neighbor. He was a massive football(the one you play with feet) fan, and when his beloved Liverpool played, I could literally follow the game via his excited, or gutted, out bursts from next door. He watched

Ooooooh, this really makes me angry.............. How dare you? Those two arguments are very valid and absolutely need to be included in any serious discussion about this. Just because you so arrogantly dismiss them, does not mean that ot
