  1. They had Mcdonalds back then? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey! Call fair trading! Price-fixing!
  2. Steve, the point is that gay civil partnerships have only recently been recognised; therefore the judiciary are more inclined to take their previous de facto relationship as evidence of a stable partnership, rather than the legal definition that is written out for heterosexuals. I thought that was the Roman Catholic Church (and probably the Greek / Russian / Whatever Orthodoxes, as well).
  3. Lioness was doing the gene pool a favour.
  4. The price is dependent on the franchise; I remember we had three McDonalds restaurants within walking distance when I was young, and the prices were all different.
  5. Currently, homosexual de facto relationships have more legal binding than heterosexual ones. Edit: What Jimmy ^ said.
  6. One common misconception is that small businesses need small customers ... actually, most of the time spent in SME sales is finding which (potential) customers should never be engaged as they are TOO MUCH WORK for the revenue. It's only big corporations, like McDonalds, Walmart, etc, that have the resources to deal with the fiddly little tyre-kickers ... :D
  7. Interestingly, same-sex couples in the UK currently have better legal protection in the case of seperation, than common-law heterosexual couples, because their relationships are now regarded as equivalent to hetrosexual marriage, whereas the defacto heterosexual couples are left to battle it out with the most expensive lawyers.
  8. Sounds like there is a lack of mathematical acumen. No surprises there, then.
  9. Personal attacks will result in thread pruning in the first instance and thread closure after that, as well as warnings for all the culprits.
  10. They have a very bad review in the latest Custom PC, especially in pairs (i.e. Quad SLI): the cards aren't ventilated properly, and the quad-SLI drivers are crap.
  11. After using sophisitcated tracking sk177z0rzZZ!!!11, I can reveal that Onar is really:
  12. Hypnotisability is an unpredictable and uniquely quantifiable trait for every individual. :D
  13. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I edited my original comment from "an Animal Rights" to "a Rights", without removing the alternate indefinite article.
  14. Time will tell ... [/cynical bitter twisted sociopathic introvert]
  15. >insert witty Seinfeld quotation here<
  16. Well, there are hordes of starving baby seals now that the annual cull (for skins) has been under moratorium ...
  17. Setzer, meet OCD and ADHD, OCD and ADHD meet Setzer.
  18. And before this conversation drops further (into the realms of merkins) ...
  19. That's not as controversial as you make out. Certainly there is going to be a LOT of CPU/GPU/Motherboard releases in the next six months ... more than the GPUs released in the last 12 months, by some accounts ...
  20. Jimmy, did you determine if the X1900XTX can be used as a master card for CrossFire?
  21. Yes, because I will be able to play the game faster by waiting for a bloated publisher to leverage their manufacturing capacity to send out hundreds of thousands of bits of plastic and paper to thousands of retailers, whilst paying all their expenses (wages', rates, electricty, transport) and liabilities (loan amortizations).
  22. Hmmm. I only just checked it about half-an-hour ago, as I didn't want anything to interrupt my Episode One experience ... perhaps I shall need to pause and restart it. Edit: just tried to cancel and restart and was warned that the server was too busy and to "try again in a few hours". Fortunately the whole process seems to have been invalidated and continues (albeit at the snail's pace) ...
