Can the government "tap" your internet in the same way they tap your phone? I know they can read emails, but what about instant messaging? Or messaging in MMO games like WoW? Seems like putting codes in like trade chat in WoW would be an easy way for spies to communicate.

Yes, they can. Due to a 1994 law called the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, all ISPs must have the technical capacity to wiretap an individual customer's internet connection, in case they are served with a warrant to do so. You can encrypt your online communications, but anything less than 256-bit is going to be torn to shreds by those NSA weenies in minutes. There is legislation in progress that would mandate that any communications software capable of encryption install a backdoor for government officials to use. This is a bad idea, will be used by hackers to gain access to your encrypted data, and won't prevent terrorists from owning and using illegally encrypted P2P communications programs.

Hey so my monitor keeps doing this thing where the screen suddenly shrinks horizontally, just a little, and then expands back. It does it every 30 seconds or so. It is annoying as gently caress. Degaussing doesn't fix, nor does adjusting screen size. I'm guessing my monitor is just hosed? It's one of those fatass glass screen ones, obviously.

They'll both be in English. Here's how "Widescreen Dubbed Subtitle AC3" breaks down

Widescreen format
Dubbed, (usually Eng/Fre/Spa): you can hear the movie in French or Spanish if you wish
Subtitle Languages: Spanish, for Spanish-speaking viewers who'd rather hear the original English but read what's going on in Spanish
AC3 = Dolby Digital = 5.1 surround sound, made for home theaters with 5.1 (five speakers, one subwoofer) sound.

As noted below, stores want to point out the main features quickly when advertising a DVD or Blu-ray.

In your case, the difference between the two versions is the features you get with the AC3-labeled one:

American Gangster[Widescreen] - Blu-ray Disc
Sound Digital Theater Systems (akin to 5.1)
Languages/Sound Eng/Fre
Screen Formats Enhanced Widescreen for 16x9 TV
Subtitle Languages Eng/Fre/Spa
Additional Features Public Enemies sneak peek download

American Gangster[Widescreen Dubbed Subtitle] - Blu-ray Disc
Sound Digital Theater Systems (akin to 5.1)
Languages/Sound Eng/Fre
Screen Formats Enhanced Widescreen for 16x9 TV
Subtitle Languages Eng/Fre/Spa
Additional Features Feature commentary with director Ridley Scott and writer Steven Zaillian Deleted scenes including an alternate opening Fallen Empire: Making American Gangster Case files Hip-Hop Infusion, Featuring Common and T.I. The BET Special: The Making of American Gangster Dateline NBC: American Gangster First Look Music videos

Best Buy has a weird habit of listing things with the "dubbed" or "subtitled" keyword even when it's completely irrelevant. Either of those discs should be the normal US release with English audio.

We had our meetings in a room with a bar and Brian Clough said to me "Millsy, get the beers in and get yourself a Guinness". I told him I didn't drink. He said "Get yourself a fucking Guinness" so I did. I drank it, pulled a face and then he named me in the team. I never said no again.
My girlfriends' housemate has come back to the flat a bit giddy. He's found a large amount of money in notes on the pavement (three figures) and is rather excited. However, without wanting to piss off any Karma Gods, we've all agreed he should notify the local police that he has found it. Am I correct in assuming there's a set time for it to be claimed before it becomes finders keepers? Any help or experience in this matter would be appreciated.

My thought has always been if you find cash its yours. Turning it into someone will almost inevitably turn into that person keeping the cash. I suppose you could put up a sign that says "found cash on X street, if you lost it what is the amount" but that sounds like a lot of work to me.

Well first things first you should take it to a bank or something and ask them to check if they're counterfeit.

Additionally though, if it's just loose money on the ground there's no real way for the police to find whose it is (unless the person who lost it meticulously recorded all the serial numbers). Turning in a wallet is expected since there can be secondary identification and all that, but loose money on the ground belongs to whoever finds it.

If found property is unclaimed in 28 days, it's yours unless it's a mobile phone or other 'unsuitable' item. I'm guessing unsuitable would be weapons or drugs....

He should just keep it. There's no "bad Karma" involved in random chance like that, it isn't as if he stole it. If anything, the Universe has obviously just tossed that stuff into his lap..."Don't look a gift horse in the mouth".

If it were a wallet, or on the steps to someone's house, then it might be a different story.

Edit; I say this because once I found over a hundred bucks in an envelope and yeah, I spent that money (gave some away as well). :)

Not sure about the size, but I have heard that it's pretty expensive to build much and a lot of the time you'll be using a lot of certain colours. I haven't used these, but I want to.

Amazon has it $5-6 cheaper than the "official" online retailer. On closer inspection, only the 1200-piece box is cheaper.

Not particularly well with just straw, but well enough to reduce the leak to a drip and carry out small tasks with it. You could make a weave out of it as well, depending on the type of hole you have. If you have some more time and other materials there's wattle and daub.

Straw expands when it get wets. So you find an about right sized piece, stick it in the hole, and then trim the ends off. It'll do a pretty decent job so long as it isn't a very large bucket.

It'll be a hell of a lot better if you brown the meat first, I'd think. I don't know how well chicken & beef would go together but it sounds like overkill to me. Repeat this question in the GWS small questions thread and you'll get better answers. You'll also get yelled at about "curry blocks," whatever those are.

Within reason. If you come across a sack that fell off an armored car or an ATM spitting out cash, no, you can't legally keep that.

How would you phrase a question that ended with a quote, when the quote doesn't contain a question mark?

For example, say I wanted to ask who the historical figure was who said the famous quote, "Eureka!"

Clearly if I phrased that in the form of a question, I would have to end the sentence with a question mark.

But the quote has an exclamation point. How do I reconcile this?

I certainly couldn't write something like:

Which famous historical figure said the famous quote, "Eureka!"?

This can also get confusing with other things as well.

Example:

Which character on The Matrix said the famous line, "Whoa?"

This implies that a character may have said "Whoa?" When in reality the character just said, "Whoa."

I believe you can just leave out the punctuation on the quote:

Punctuation stuff

I think this covers everything: http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/quotes.asp

Rule #2 suggests that in your Eureka example, you should leave out the exclamation point. However, I would give equal weight to an exclamation point and a question mark. I would use both of them in that case. A period simply ends a sentence, but an exclamation mark adds meaning to the sentence, so I think you still need it.

Are you talking about inflection or punctuation? For punctuation, the question mark goes outside the quote. For inflection you should stress the "Which character" and say the quote as it was said originally.

Common? I don't know but I have always had shaky hands to one degree or another, and no medical reason why although later in life it seems like it my have just been anxiety although that's not a doctors advice, just hindsight.
