If you fancy trolling through my trolling posts, I posted the start up times from an ultra modern CCGT a year back. Maybe two years back. I would have used the words "ultra modern".
Off the top of my head, as I can't find the info on this computer, and I shouldn't have posted it the first time:
Cold start: 12hrs Warm start: 8hrs Hot start: 4hrs
They aren't "spun up" imediately. Oil fired power plants and hyro are used for this sort of thing.
Then English version of Mythbusters (Brainiac?) tried to explode a cavavan using mobile phones and petrol. They filled the inside with vapour, added half a dozen mobile phones, and called them all at once.
Disapointing is the word. Nothing happened.
I've also seen a cigarette dropped into a glass full of petrol.
AC wrong again. What is it with you and being wrong all the time?
Chasing smack (heroin), using a piece of tin foil, heated from the bottom, is the prefered method of taking it. Only people addicted to it shoot-up, as it can make it go twice as far.
Shit, you fucking fucky fuck, you only have to walk around the rundown flats around here and you can smell it.
I type very little on my phone - there's just no need.
Google has pretty much cracked the voice recognition thing. Give it another 12 months and I expect it to be faultless, maybe even better than my own ears and brain... Once it can understand Taffy mumbling (hi colleague who shoulder surfs too much), that's perfection.
Quills to pens to keyboards to voice recognition. It's inevitable.
Kind of pissed off that links I've placed on forums no longer work. Mostly random football pictures I'd "photoshopped" and some videos of goals. I could go back though the thousands of posts I've made and swap them out, but that's not going to happen.
Couldn't give a stuff about the small handful of Xvids I put on there. They were put there for my real life friends who struggle with anything other than clicking a link in an email. They are still availiable on a billion torrent sites.
hmmm. That "know somebody" was usenet, message boards, IRC... Even climbing the ladder wasn't hard, especially if you had a fat pipe and a multi-gigabyte hard drive.
I will admit that today no one needs to climb the ladder and obtaining your warez is a Google search away.
1. Unless you've already booked, hiring a car during the olympics is almost impossible.
2. Cars travel at about 10mph through London. Cloned horses are faster.
I don't drive in London. No one with any sense does. The last time I drove through London (city) was on a Friday night during the rush hour. It took 2.5 hours to get out of London; about 10 miles. 1 hour to drive the other 75 miles home.

Same as the UK with our last referendum about voting.
The question was not worded correctly. It was a case of "do you want X?", when a No vote mean we'd get "Y", when most actually wanted "Z", which wasn't offered.
Slashdot Mirror
That's no longer true (about the British).
I haven't seen a proper fight here in twenty years. And I was involved in that one.
I've never seen a football related fight, but I only travel to half a dozen games a year.
My social circle contains a lot of undesirables. Violence is still rare.
Self-segregation is nothing new. It happens in England too.
MS says Sharepoint and "one link for all" (to be saved locally and attached to emails, with the formatting totally fucked)
Business as usual.

Yep, all your fault. You were going too fast; faster than the road conditions allowed. Or you weren't concentrating.
I don't know about your country, but both of those are illegal in my country for good reason.
The correct thing for the computer to do is slow you down. As speeds approach zero, the chance of causing a crash also approaches zero.
I could be convinced to keep my mouth shut for large sums of cash. For an even larger amount, I'd wear pom-poms and chant the company mantra
Anyone with Google Latitude can confirm this. And since I renamed my SSID, Google doesn't even know when I'm home.
Storm in a tea cup, as always.
That's kind of bollocks though. Rabbits spread because of us. They shouldn't be all over Europe in the first place.
Sugru is not something I've heard of but I've done a fair amount of plastic mixes.
Go careful with accelerators. I stopped using them after the first fire. It's always better to show some patiences.

How was this modded funny and not informative?
You. Have. To. Ask.
>>Your job now, is to apply more alcohol till she will do things she wouldn't normally do.
Fix: just wait until later in the night. Someone else will pay for those drinks.
Disclaimer: I hated this. It was never what I wanted. I turned it down more times than I accepted.
PS. The good girls ask too... and they're all good girls.
Stuff it where the sun don't shine. Seriously.
Looky-looky men are your best bet in Europe.

If the Big Bang Theory has taught me anything, it's taught me that clarinet is a euphemism for cock.
Raj said "Oh, Bernadette, please play my clarinet".
I propose that all mentions of clarinet on the internet should be censored by the Guardians.
*wink*
Interesting, and logical.

When searching for release folder names, Megaupload was there regularly.
I used it for both.

That's FUD too.
*.doc created and saved in MS Word 2003. Sent to contractors.
*.odt returned and all the headers and footers are corrupted.
Do we ask them to fix? No. I do the fixing as it's quicker and easier for everyone in the chain.
This is not a one-off. It happens all the time.
PS It's actually nice to receive *.odt files. Some still arrive as *.pdf and there's still the expectation that they're editable.
I posted this exact thought a month back. It'll take a lot more to convince Slashdot.
But, back on topic, your idea will happen when Apple invents it.
Those Mini engines can almost be picked up by a single strong man.
Catalytic converters and alloy wheels are the parts stolen around here. Spare wheels on 4x4s command the largest prices.
The BBC trumpet their own greatness.
Experience tells us different.
Their recent stirring of flamebait on their HYS section is appalling.
That already happens.
All race horses can be traced back to three thoroughbreds.
