"I made my own amusement and got into tons of trouble."
Same as that.
Why don't the head teachers spot this sort of behaviour?
Each year I'd get a new teacher. Each year they'd spend months working out what I already knew and by that time I was truly bored of it all.
Even to this day, no matter how hard I've tried, I still get into trouble, or I take risks I shouldn't be taking at this age (almost 40). I still hang around with the 'bad crowd' because I need excitement in my life. I still risk arrest daily (never happened though 'cus I iz clevar).
When I played, I was pretty good. Infant school chess champion 1980!
I got to a level where I needed to learn (memorise) all the opening moves and this is the point where it got boring. I felt it was akin to cheating - it stopped being about logic prowess and more about cramming. Boring.
Learning chess is good up until a point. I hope they don't put the children off with the advanced boring stuff.

FTP Is 40 Years Old

Amen to that.
First thing I did on the wife's Android phone was install an FTP client/server. Why not?
My German colleague just said the word "prepone" to me, in reference to a meeting. Opposite of postpone? That's what I guessed. It's not a word I've read, heard or spoken in the last 40 years. I had to look it up.
It turns out that the Indians invented it and it is the opposite of postpone. There is not an English word opposite to postpone, so they made one up. Fair enough.
I do use slang in front of my German colleagues; normally after they've broken out the German, which they know I'm limited in. I have a bubble; it puts a smile on my boat. Know what I mean, me old China?
This is what I thought when I bought EA's Sims 3 for the Xbox 360!
Turns out that myself and many others couldn't save games if the save-game was corrupted. It'd load, but not save after seconds of play time. *facepalm*
Giggling at puns again? C'mon, surely you've got past that stage in life?
Puns are droll. There's no need to apologise for them, unless they are truly poor. There's no need to point them out - it's like explaining a bad joke.
And we did, via the same forum they stole content from.
The BBC and TalkSport have been guilty of lifting thread topics, word games (puns on player names normally) and passing off insightful opinions as their own. No big deal as we often expand their content to the extreme. One day we ran with it.
We post on a football (soccer) forum.
Our "get even" moment was the deliberate posting of player transfer rumour. A rumour started on another forum they obviously have no knowledge of. The Sun printed the rumour a day later and all the other media outlets picked up on it after that. Each one adding a little bit more bullshit to their stories as the day went on.
Their embarrassment was our "get even". Hopefully they'll be less trusting in future and actually create their own content... and maybe they'll feed my unicorn while they're at it.

Inda - keyboard monkey with an IQ over 140.
PS: On Topic: A high IQ doesn't mean shit.
Why's it even an issue? Who's going to take this path to 'piracy'?
If you had the knowledge and means to save the stream, you wouldn't bother.
Turning it off and on again?
I'm serious.
"The West" from where I'm sitting means: USA.
There is not a hatered of the Chinese in the UK. Most of us have enjoyed their cheap shit over the past ten years and their food is lovely.
The USA needs an enemy to feel important. When they work out that they are the enemy, the world will be a better place.

£16 for the first session
£47 for fillings, root canal, tooth removal.
£204 for the major work.
In the name of clarity, I will post my about:crashes log from my new FF4 install below.
Great advice.

I'll add other rule:
"You never get caught the first time"
If people were caught the first time, there would be no crime.
Do not repeat your crimes.

"Delete your save!" said EA.
Still not patched since November 2010.
EA - failing every game
Yep, it's been done with e.coli and fruit flies. Many, many, many times.
It's always installed itself as a printer driver; you can 'print' from any application.
All of them. And I even write extra functions; "features".
No all of us use spreadsheets to compile lists.
The best one I wrote pulled data points from a remote power station and calculated the creep life of the boiler headers.
My old Spectrum 48k ran a spreadsheet. Tell me I could have used that to calculate creep life.
More robots than ice cream vans.
More robots than a Honda factory.
More robots than a robot factory?
More robots than elevators? Um, yeah, sure.

I've seen reports that state £2b is spent by the NHS on smokers each year in the UK, and £10b is generate by taxing smokers.
I see no one is mentioning drinking. I beleive it causes more ill health among the population.
Fact checking is down to the reader :)

Same with Empornium.
One day I find it's been taken down. Googled "Empornium", found a news item with a list of 15 other trackers I'd never heard of.
Sometimes you cannot fight fire with fire, you have to use water.

Puns are droll. There's no need to apologise for them, unless they are truly poor. There's no need to point them out - it's like explaining a bad joke.
For comparison in the UK:
CT scan just cost my insurance £450 ($721.22) and the nurse told me that was cheap.
Wife just had gaul bladder removed. In and out of hospital within 24hrs. £4,750 ($7,612.83)
NB. Some of us in the UK get private health care through work.
Judging by the photos of Team17's car park, all I can say is good. They obviously get paid well, so there is no need for government handouts.

Rooves actually increase the atmosphere. No sounds escape.
Wind was not at issue at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. They love their Rrrrrrrrrugby in the valley, isn't it?
