Damn. TLAM beat me to it.

Rest assured, Deuce, - and all those who share the opinion that we're on the verge of some kind of oil crisis - we'll be fine. The technology for synthesizing oil has been around for at least, like, 80 years now; we just don't use it because it's more efficient to drill at the moment.

For now, I rest my case in the interests of not completely derailing the thread and/or cluttering it with massive blocks of text, (I do that a lot

) but I trust the topic will come up again and we can discuss it in-depth at that time.

Lol, I watched that clip yesterday, I wondered what all the fuss was about.
Now I know. Stupidity has taken on a whole new meaning to me

Made me want to perforate my eardrums with a pencil.

The worst invention of the past centuries:
The decision to have the "Press Esc to exit fullscreen mode" message hardcoded into Flash and have it popping up in the center of a video anytime you watch something in full screen.
Yes, I got it after having seen it 89235789 times... I have to press esc...

The guy who decided this should be tarred and feathered.

Please forward this post to german companies - though I doubt that they would be able to find this funny and strange word "service" in their dictionaries...
