20 years ago I was paid around £1. a line (55 taps) and I had a computer. Today I'm lucky if I get 40 p. Computer translation hasn't made much headway since Naom Chomsky's famous 'The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak', translated into Russian and back to English - result - 'the vodka's OK, but the meat's a bit off.'
If people want a good translation then they should pay for it - and not expect it to be delivered yesterday.

and there is you and the other person who wants it, do you graciously step aside and let them have it b/c maybe you want chicken instead or do you grab it and run to the hills with glee that you grabbed it before that slow poke-that would be me ;-) and envision how delicious it will be tonight on the BBQ?

At work I have been told if I am off sick again (i've been off one day with illness) I can be put on a discplinery and after that a written warning then I can be dissmissed. Is this legal? I work for a supermarket in one of their fresh food depts and I have the flu, sore throat, temp, headache and dizzyness, but I've been told I can't gop off sick without getting out on disciplinery. Surely this isnt right?

I am sure most of you know the story about the heavens gate followers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavens_Gate

Now my question is "Why would these people die for something that wasn't true?" I mean willingly give thier lives for a lie?

I would really like to hear Christian opionions on this.

Note: I am in no way saying they were Christian

Hi everyone, I have been using my laptop for quite a while(1 year) and my laptop starts to slow down 4 months ago. Now i am seriously irritated by it and i really feel like doing something to it now..
I check my task manager and realise that i have about 5 "IEXPLORE" and 1 "SVCHOST" that takes up most of the momory. Can i ask how do i reduce their comsumption or is there a way to keep the numbers down?
Also, i always have this feeling that my computer may be filled with virus even though i am using norton 360. Is there a better software out there that can assure me?
Lastly, is formatting good for me now? If so, is there anyway to transfer out my folders without getting any virus, if there's any in it.
Thanks ;)
