Except that 'the former' is 'the one mentioned earlier than the latter', so you've got them the wrong way round ... </pedantry>

Hi there, CocoCreekFisherman. This is a web forum, not IRC. The 2:30 hours it took you to solve your own problem are not a lot of time in this context, and your question apparently refers to a small group of games on a not-so-mainstream emulator. It seems likely that during this short time the...

The way I read it, they're pretty much saying it is. You're talking to the box in your home via GSM, but from there on upstream it's VOIP (or some similar voice-over-broadband implementation).

Naive question: How hard would it be to have Navit play a second or two of silence before each announcement?

Yes, sorry to be confusing. My point was that the 200 euro price before VAT does not include any VAT paid on the components. The last buyer pays VAT on the full price, but there's no cumulative tax on the tax paid further upstream. Also, although VAT is collected at every manufacturing step, in...

I have signatures turned off in the "normal" version. I do this on all the forums I use -- who needs the clutter? To me, signatures are a visual cue that says "I'm not logged in". So yeah, I don't care what your signature is; but then I've never seen it.

Don't overestimate the "taxed again" part. VAT is a tax only on the difference between purchase price and resale price (which is where the "value added" component of the name comes from). There's an admin cost of course; but if you were imagining the end user paying tax on tax on tax on tax...

What ED said was that he's done with his batch 1 queue. Batch 2 preorders can be in the same situation, except they're not among the first 4000. According to Notaz, who claims to have received information on the matter yesterday, there are indeed 84 such preorders left with ED.

I'm pretty sure he means "professional developer of content to be run through flash players", not "professional developer of flash players".

Well, _wb_, some birds are simply migratory.

There's a big difference. You'd be exerting your right to self-defence (or, technically, defence of a third person in this case). You-the-ordinary-citizen can intervene in a critical situation and legally do something which would otherwise be illegal in order to counter the acute threat of a...

Try "have read the USADA Reasoned Decision on him" :P One-sided, yes, but pretty convincingly documented.

I'm confused. Are the media your way now saying that he didn't raise that money? Bloke cheated, lied, pressured his colleagues/employees into self-injury and further cheating and lying, was caught, lied some more, was caught lying, and continued to lie long after anyone would believe him. If...

Whereas if we don't offend you guys, you'll warn us before suddenly becoming all fair and considered? :)

Chinese? You must know less than NOTHING about tizen. I didn't either, but hey, google.

I'm getting the impression jabz "upgraded" from an already-upgraded-to-1GHz preorder at Craig's shop, and is asking for only the Craig-upgrade money to be refunded. No doubt it's an upgrade in itself to be Michael's rather than Craig's customer; but still it seems odd that Craig would get to...

Maybe you're seeing the price including VAT for some reason? When I look at it, it says $418.81.

I'm pretty sure the writer's error doesn't lie in confusing the grammatical roles of the words <their> and <there>. He simply misspelled the word <their>. The misspelled form is also the correct spelling for an existing homonym, and that's certainly more confusing to the reader than a plain...

Since this is probably the official pedantry thread of the forum, I'd just like to point out that writing "there" instead of "their" is a spelling error. There's nothing wrong with the grammar. Others have already pointed out that this is an international forum, and that odd syntax, word...

I think it was 700 before VAT, now it's 714 including 19% tax (which comes to 600 before VAT).
