i can completely 100% guarantee you, that NO MATTER WHO* wins the world cup, there will be parties in toronto.

*if Canada somehow, with the aid of God's outstretched arm, not only QUALIFIED but WON the world cup, we'd have less celebrations than if say...Italy won again.

Do the worlds in the many worlds interpretation necessarily have the same physical laws?

@Masquerouge: Soccer is extremely important in Europe and we do love to protest
(seriously, it's a regular social event)

Nobody in France protested when Italy or Germany won, and I think it pissed French people far more than an US win would...

Why is every computer in every movie, always a Mac? Does it have something to do with advertising?

 

[jeps]

because they look sleeker. and the movies are all made on macs, so they dont buy windows to use a mac on.

Why are the threads with >1000 post closed (usually)? I still do not know.

Because Mac is the largest single computer company, and thus does the most advertising.

Actually, I've seen quite a few Dell notebooks in movies/tv shows So it's not 'every' computer that's a Mac, but I think you've got it right there

Can anyone help me get the links for all the latest threads? (sig)

Bigger the thread, larger the server load, so it cuts down on costs/load time if we lock them away after 1000

Only if the whole thread is loaded, and why would that happen? It's one page at a time one way or the other, isn't it?

 

[Abaddon]

I honestly don't know, jsut repeating what I have heard elsewhere..

 

[Harald]

I have actually seen threads way longer than 1k post in other parts of the forum.

When a shotgun shoots a slug, is it rifled?

Slug as in the bullet.

 

[Abaddon]

How could it be?

 

[Bigfoot3814]

Is it wrong to have a little party in my head every time I toss something into the trash can from across the room?

 

[Abaddon]

Depends.. is a rebound worth more or less than a direct hit?

 

[Bigfoot3814]

Not sure. Though a swish is impressive, banking it off the wall or something else can be dersirable as well.

 

[Abaddon]

For me, a direct shot is cleaner, something worth pride. serene. Simply nod to all who noticed

A rebound is proof luck is on your side today, celebrate vocally.
