I was refering, of course, to this but of course my analogy, like my spelling, failed due to the fact that the plethora of broomsticks results from them regenerating from parts of the original rather than from self replication. Apparently my humerous intentions also missed their target.
I submit a request to be your Facebook friend as "CuteBlonde362436" and you accept, thinking that I might be a cute blonde with measurements 36-24-36. At this point, I have access to your information including the fact that you like to molest small woodland creatures. Of course, I'm neither cute, blonde, nor do I have those measurements. However, I am part of an FBI task force charged with protecting small woodland creatures from molestation and the reason I approached you on Facebook is due to an anonymous tip that said you were into that sort of thing.
I now have all the evidence I need to have you locked up for a very long time.
Entrapment?
Why would he want a cute blond when he is into small woodland creatures:)
That's a typo - it was supposed to be "CuteBlondeSquirrel362436"
You do know this is a european project don't you? It didn't cost any US Dollars, Euros, Pounds and of course all the previous european currencies involved in the building of the LEP which used to live in the same tunnel but not $:o)
I would suggest you get this checked out by a profesional. 7kW is a big load (3 bar electric fire = 3kW in case you wern't aware) but I wouldn't expect the supply into the house to dip when it is switched on which suggests there may be a problem else where - at the very least contact a qualified sparkie for an opinion. (best of course if they are a friend as the advice is more likely to be straight)
wups - my bad - I read Spit's post as saying all machines had the same spec and your post appeared to be agreeing with that. I now sit corrected (I would stand corrected but it makes typing tricky)
Of course my memory sugests that most games (not all but most) only appeared on one family of machines although there were always copycats about that were similar. I remember a friend introducing me to (I think) frontier on his amiga which I gather (thanks google) was also writen by David Braben - he left me with it for a few mins and whenhe came back I had worked out how to game the trading system allowing me to build up a substantial bank balance and buy the top of the range ship and equipment (no hacking involved - just manipulating the market). it made the game rather pointless as we could fly around wiping out everything in sight. Please excuse my mad rambling - something to do with nostalgia or old age creeping up on me:o)
Spit (23158) and BasilBrush (643681) seem to have forgotten the fact that there were many different personal computers available at this time so while it is true that the BBC model A could be upgraded to the standard of the model B there were also the apples, dragons, sinclairs, comodores, ataris etc (and many more) which in some cases had the same CPU and Memory but were still completely incompatible with the Acorn/BBC. Personaly I was exclusively an Acorn/BBC owner from early '81 with a kit built atom until about '95 when my work ment I needed to get into the grind of PC compatibility (I still have the Atom, BBC and Archimedes 310 though - all heavily upgraded) but it doesn't stop me appreciating some of the other tech out there at the time.
They have a great advantage over employees at other companies (at least from my experience of doing contract work in a range of businesses). If they don't know something you can be damn sure they know how to Google it.
Fair point but the beauty of using a microcontroler is that you can reconfigure the system to specific needs without having to redesign the hardware every time. This is pretty much what microprocessors were intended for until various people thought "Hey I can make a general purpose machine out of these"
You learn by doing , not by making powerpoint slides.
So how do you learn how to make powerpoint slides?
As far as I've seen this is learnt by doing an MBA or other managemant zombie courses - more to the point for me is why do you learn to make a powerpoint slide?
It's 640 light years away (give or take).
Would the neutrinos affect us at all? Is this another doomsday scenario?
I would imagine that it'd be hellishly bright in the night sky.
What does science say about it? I'm rusty on my astronomy, but it'd be awesome to see.
meh - 640 light years ought to be enough for anyone
Slashdot Mirror
Apparently not
Anybody who's seen Star Trek the motion picture
think of the effect if you then tied a piece of buttered toast to the back of the cat and tossed it.
The worlds first perpetual motion motion. a super conducting frozen, cat trying to land on it's feet while toast tries to land butter side down.
...and as a bonus you get an anti-gravity system.
The technique certainly sounds strangely attractive.
Just a touch of the Dyslexia which runs in my family I’m afraid (why did they choose such a difficult to spell word for that)

Did you ever watch the Sourcerers Apprentice section of Fantasia? Because if not, I politely suggest you do.
I tried to get a life once but I just ended up with celular automata
True. Now we have the question about "friends."

The units don't matter so much as consistancy in their use, hence SI units. This is what happens when people are inconsistant. http://www.cnn.com/TECH/space/9909/30/mars.metric/

I hope you have a licence for that half a bee
A cited fact on Wikipedia would disagree with you. The good old days were never that good.
And while we're on the subject nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
I suppose to avoid patent infringement we shouldn't use DRM on our P2P networks. How will we all manage :o)

Ah, but you were renting - jittles specified buying

I assure you, that's not a coincidence; that's genius marketing. And I don't see what it has to do with Idiocracy.
Well it's 40 years to late to be Lunacy

why cant we come up with the legal equivalent of a shotgun. shotguns ALWAYS work against zombies, or im i wrong?
Think Geek agrees.
