You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, I just dot give a toss though.

It won't be overpopulation that does it, but rather the price of bacon.
According to those in the know, we taste a lot like pork, and cannibals refer to human flesh as 'long pig.'

Yes, I have heard this. Gross thought though, really, very gross.

A few years back I had a mole cut off in my armpit to be sent away for testing (no cancer... yay). They cauterised it with a hot poker, and blow me down if we don't smell like pork crackling when singed!! Put me off pork for a good few minutes!!

Certainly not "all". Probably not even half. Maybe ten percent.

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Of course early adapters leave normal food alone, thus making it a law of diminishing returns.

Watched a crazy, mad, bonkers film last night:
Cockneys vs Zombies [^]
You have to see this to believe it: was actually quite funny in small parts!
Nice that I recognized some of the locations.
If you have trouble understanding the accents, I think you need to find a version with sub-titles.

I like the credits IMDB lists:

Actually caught such an item, myself, last week: Frankenstein's Army^
But, for top quality terror, watch "Teeth" - and don't spoil the fun by reading the plot before watching the movie. (according to IMDB, I refer to the 2007 version)

I have Skype on 3 computers, my Dev PC, my laptop, and my wife's PC. The laptop collects dust most of the time. My wife NEVER uses Skype. I use it all day long.
It used to be that I would only pay as I needed. $10 a month would suffice. I'd use it up, add more, go on.
Starting in March I am now getting automatically charged 3 times a month, which I assume is because I have 3 installations. The charge states "Auto-recharge on low balance."
Problem is, I only use Skype on 1 pc. 2, I didn't turn on auto charge.
Anyone else seeing this?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

I have a Skype phone number account, so I pay something like $30 per year for unlimited US/Canada calls and incoming phone. No problems for the last several years. I use the same Skype account on all of my computers, as well as my cell phone.
Are you using the same Skype user name on all three computers?

Yes I am, but two of the PC's never see Skype open.

To avoid confusion, you should probably have specified, that you only get charged when you use it for calling phone numbers through Skype.
I have not experienced what you are describing, but I only use the phone calling feature on one PC and I have not stored the credit card information for adding minutes.
It is possible that the last time you manually added minutes, they had the "Auto-recharge" checkbox checked by default. You know, to "help you".
I have no idea how much money you actually spend on this, but maybe you want to do what I do and sign up for the Bing rewards program. You get points for searching through Bing and those points can be redeemed for things like Skype credit.
I don't know if it is worth doing for you - I admit to having become a "search addict" (actually most of the time, I just click repeatedly on the Related Searches until I reach the daily limit).

Hmmm...I admit that looks a bit like a spam post

This video[^] inspired me to go looking for a camera to mount under my heli. It's the same model as the one in the video, so that's not the problem, but I'm not quite sure which camera to buy.
- The GoPro is a bit too expensive to use as additional landing gear in a hard landing. Something a little cheaper might be wise.
- Between the landing skids the GoPro looks like a brick. Some more cylindrical helmet camera may fit in better.
- How do I keep vibrations low and get an acceptable video quality?

You could try a Muvi[^] - but then to lay it flat your would probably need to add a mirror, at a 45 degree angle to the lens, underneath it.

Interesting, and you have brought up another point: Not only the lens must be in the right positon. When it is installed, I will also need to access the controls to start or stop the recording or get at the memory chip.
