I think the point I got from the movie, though it's a long time since I've thought about it, was that it didn't really matter whether he was or wasn't. The fact that he didn't know meant they had finally created a human and also threw into question the nature of our whole existence...or something. Book added to list, I've just looked at how many books he's published - he must be older than RobW!

It's probably the whole point of it. What's the book like? Don't know if I've ever read anything by him.

Was that ever conclusively proved, one way or the other?

Shame on you. The problem with reading this thread is it's making me want to go back and watch a LOT of movies.

Do you still have to put up with ads for the free version? It completely freaks out under heavy usage.

Yes, absolutely. We've used it for over a year on 2 computers without any problems and would be intensive email users, we'd have hundreds of thousands of mails stored on each computer. I think it's possibly the first mail program that hasn't completely freaked out on me at some point.

I do have a tricky bastard of an apache problem involving the third level of subdirectory going to the wrong place in a dynamic redirection of subdomains if you fancy it? I fear Patrokles may try to scare me away.

You're probably not tied down once they've started fucking you about, check your contract. No, the Fish is right, burn their village. Bagsy first pick of their women.

Telling them that you're very upset with this whole episode and would like to cancel your contract may get you put through to a manager. I would then proceed to cancel the contract, but that's just me.

fixed. d'oh!

Cheers, I can search myself, I just know there's a couple of decent js heads about on here, and I don't fancy registering on another forum.

For the most part they are pretty ignorant of what's going on. I remember being at work on the day of Bush's final deadline to Saddam Hussein before the bombs started going, with the BBC News 24 feed on. These two lasses I was working with had no idea what was going on when the bombs started dropping because they were completely oblivious to the fact that it was all about to kick off. These are college graduates, studying to be CPAs, and not a clue that their country was going to war. Challenge them on the rights and wrongs of it though, and you got a look of utter disgust and a load of shit about 9/11 and how Hussein was DEFINITELY involved. It's sad that people can be so stupid and yet hold such ludicrous views when you try to take it up with them. I just used to get told "I don't know why you even live here seen as all you do is bash America" off one lass. I did used to wind her up intentionally though. 173619[/snapback] Mystery solved tbh. Seriously, the education over there is a little weird. Over here people tend to be more cultured, well rounded () when they have a good education. I find they're more one-track over there. No interest in anything outside of their field.

Check out foxnews.com or wait a couple of years and flick over to Sky News. It is scary, and we'd be just as bad over here if we were being indoctrinated with that shit constantly. The likes of Bill O'Reilly/Ann Coulter are hilarious to watch, until you remember people believe it.

Sadly not, they'd be in good company. Same doesn't go for Islamophobia. The way the average US citizen reacted to an act of atrocity vs how the average UK citizen did recently says a lot, I think. It's hard because obviously there are many millions of sound US citizens, but there's definitely a problem there, and a lot of the sound ones I've spoken to acknowledge it.

How do I reference a variable in an address document.formname.child.style.display="none"; Where 'child' is the variable, I've tried all mixes of square brackets, dollar signs, pluses etc. I could assemble it as variable first and then reference it, but I'd rather avoid that if possible.

I'll have you know I've a very strong moral code, it just seldom intersects with the laws of the land. Racists, basically. Voting Bush wouldn't have helped their cause, like, but I wouldn't codemn them for that. Actually, I'd probably have forgiven the racism if they had brains in their head.

I don't agree, like, I think the US serves as a warning to where we're all headed. I haven't been there since 1999, and I've said I won't set foot back there unless things change a lot. We just had friends over from the States, very representiative of upper middle class US, no reason to be unhappy with their lot. Fucking shocking opinions on things outside the US, and well "educated" too. I was very nice to them while they were here, but I told the girlfriend they weren't welcome back, and I'm not that intolerant. There's plenty of good ones in the US, I've always thought it was a land of extremes, for every bad one there's an equally good one, but they do do stupidity like no one else on Earth. I don't think that's by birth, though, they're farmed that way.

It's probably pretty similar to Ireland, yes, there's plenty of money in the country, but living costs are sky high and people are over-worked. Weather definitely makes a difference too.

For people that are supposed to be happy, they've got a bargain bucket full of hatred.

You'd all be miserable regardless of economic climate tbf.

Now that we've established that we're all racists, Alex will come back with a serious answer to my post...

I am not being bamboozled by your so special of offers.

He insists that you talk to him in an Indian accent? Does he give you pointers? Give him my number, he sounds like a laugh.

Well, being pissed off, no; but putting it down to them being a "thick Paki" and then carrying around that prejudice would be, in my view. I think the whole concept of racism is fucked anyway, no one wants to discuss it, people won't even use the words as if they themselves are poisoned, and then all scales of it are put under the umbrella of 'racism', leaving people to even open their mouth about it in case they get branded racist themselves.
