How about this for heresy: Best breakfast is a vegetarian English breakfast! No sausages, no bacon. Just beans, over-easy eggs and toast. Possibly some grated smoked cheese on the beans. Add freshly squeezed orange juice and a dark cup of finest Assam tea and now I am hungry again.

Depends. Headache after drinking, which is usually considered part of a hangover, is typically a result of dehydration. Thus, water is an excellent and medically recommended hangover cure.

Well, what else are they going to patent? They already patented rounded corners and they haven't developed any hardware for decades. Apple is more of a design studio and software developer than anything else. I'd say an unlocking gesture for a touch screen isn't innovative enough to warrant a...

But the oil is running out and soon the environment with all its little spiders is dead. What are we going to do then?

Aren't you forgetting about all the female animals?

The point is that there is no real moral difference between defending your place in a needless hierarchy today or a year from today, if you are aware of what is going on. Getting your head ducked in the toilet every day isn't going to hurt you physically, so why bother being upset about it...

I'm not really disagreeing with you but consider this: a couple of big bullies are in the stage where they are getting ready to attack you physically (telling you to know your place and shoving you, mustering their courage to violence). You know that you can either take it or you can interrupt...

One tip is to look at how competitions in the martial art play out and you will get a sense of the direction it is going to take.

Can't help thinking about this whenever that song is mentioned.

On the other hand, CDs and DVDs rot so you will be unable to play any "physical" copies either. Even though Valve might fold before any of us turn eighty, the license to distribute their games will be up for sale for eternity and it is likely that someone akin to GoG would sell them if Valve...

To me, that is pretty relevant and in my opinion it is best to mention to someone building a computer from scratch. After all, getting a second GPU as a later upgrade can improve your computer's performance a lot for a very low price. So, when choosing your motherboard it still makes sense to...

It is different because of the scale, even though the principle is similar. Buying the license for a film specifically allows you to show it to small groups of people or to lend it out but you are the same time not allowed to show it in a public place or to large groups. The fact that you are...

I took the liberty of abbreviating your post in my reply. Watching a film at a theatre, you have paid for the experience in advance. Watching it at a friend's place, he/she has paid for it in advance. I agree with you that the line is getting blurred when it comes to borrowing intellectual...
