That works with carbonated drinks like soda pop too.

Eating beans before a bath does not make it a bubble bath.

no one in their right mind would leave a perfectly good glass of champagne sitting there for more than a few mintues without drinking it, so ha!

Sad thing, but from what I've heard the Expansion does (well atleast better than Alpha Centauri alone). I need to get Alien Crossfire somehow!.

Partly true. It will run BUT the UI will be so small as to be nigh unusable especially on very high resolutions (1080 etc)
PM me ref the other thing.

Apparently a pakistani lawyer has filed blasphemy charges against mark zuckerburg and other facebook execs. Charges which carry the death penalty.

Mark zuckerberg should file charges for blasphemy back.

limey BSc. · « **Reply #1897 on:** June 18, 2010, 05:42:41 PM »

As far as my knowledge of international law goes, this is completely pointless. Facebook is an American company, governed by American laws. While Zuckerburg might be breaking the local law there (though the creation of that page had nothing to do with him), the only way he could be prosecuted is if he was arrested in Pakistan.
