I remember all my school chums as being hormonal teenage twats. They probably remember me in the same way. Now approaching our forties, I doubt any of us fit into the immature and giggly brackets but that doesn't mean they are now worth the effort.
Plenty of new people have entered my social circle over the last 20 years. Some are still in it, some have left. C'est la vie.
That's not the first time I read that and it still amuses me.
I always spell my mother's maiden name differently; sometimes with two Bs, sometimes with two Ts and, as she's been married more than once, I sometimes use a different name.
I don't think I've ever been rejected from a website for using the wrong name.
I hate "me too" posts as much as the next man but the Gmail intergration in the wife's HTC Wildfire is just so easy. I've tried to get her head around the fact that contacts on the sim or phone memory are now pointless. I've tried to tell her she doesn't need to poke away at the tiny keyboard, just use the laptop.
I installed an FTP/HTTP server with access to the home network SMB share (I choose File Expert - was that the best choice?). She'll eventually understand that bluetooth is so last year. She'll never get her head around accessing the home network from anywhere in the world.
She wanted an iPhone, and I wouldn't let her buy one. Every time an iPhone advert is shown on the TV, I tell her that her phone can do that too. Not sure she'll ever be happy.
And I liked to take this opportunity to talk about Sims 3 on the Xbox 360, published by EA.
The game's been out a month and the saving and loading bugs are well documented, even though EA will not publically admit they exist. The game is unplayable after, what looks to me like a memory overflow. You can 'invest' 40 hours on one game save, which always loads, but cannot be saved. Proper programming is not my forte, but a clean save of all the games variables sounds like an easy task to programme.
The support from EA is disgusting. I've heard their reputation in the past but dismissed it, as you only ever hear the bad stuff on the internet. In my vast gaming years, I have never needed to contact the support channels and I don't think I'll bother again. Advice ranging from deleting everything to restore factory fresh settings, replacing dirty disks (EA are happy to send me a new disk when they feel like it), and jumping up and down three times have all been suggested.
They will not answer my questions about a patch or a full refund.
If you have bought this game for a children's Christmas present, as I'm sure many of have, return it before the day. I have never witnessed such a rushed and buggy game.
We are the easiest to track because we are more likely to install add-ons, fonts, etc. Flash block is a dead give-away, according to the documentation.
The USA interfering in other country's business has a lot to do with radicalising terrorists. The sooner they realise that they're not the World Police(TM), the sooner everyone can go back to minding their own business.
It's too late to stop funding the IRA, but staying out the way of those thieving Israelis would be a good start.
When I worked for BMW, I visited their UK design centre many times during the developement stage of the X5.
There was a workshop, big enough for two cars, and it always held two cars. A team of techs would strip the car, measure and digitise the parts. Anyone in the company could borrow any car part they liked complete with drawings.
I beleive it's called reverse engineering in the game.:p
Stealing drawings? Laughable.
When I worked for BMW, inbetween leads for new models, we often did work for Renault, Peugeot and Ford. They obviously supplied us with drawings.
Accuse someone of something when phishing for information. Watch the reactions, watch people back-peddling, listen for lies, listen for an overly reactive explaination, watch for the ultra-defensive, nose scratching, bullshitters, beads of sweat...
Does no on else use this trick in life? I doubt I've invented it; I'm sure it's taught somewhere and there's probably a fancy name for it.
Accuse Microsoft of cheating and see what information flows back.

They mean the WWW. You know, the whole of the interweb? The place where they have the Facebook and the You Tube. You must have heard about it?
Let them block the WWW. I get fed up with girls in my area who want to meet me.

55 hours!?!?!? *heh*
I remember downloading a metric ton of 1.44mb files back in 1998. 56k was fast back then and 55 hours to fill my expensive HDD was the norm.
GOML.
Unique too :(

We're all doomed.
You need the pro version, not the vanilla reader.
And the OCR engine is the worst I've ever used. It takes me back to the days of 1998.
My XBOX360 connects to my home network through IPv6. The amusing thing is, I did absolutely fuck-all to make it connect this way.
Al Qaeda are fucking amateurs compared to the IRA.
We didn't declare war. We just removed our bins from public areas.
I saw this on the bottom of one package and it always makes me smile when I think about it:
If you are reading this, you need a hobby.
Yeah, the little things amuse me.
Sorry matey, but they're both the same.
I believe he doesn't get enough of the manic side of things, only the depressive. That's gotta suck even more.
Spike Milligan also suffered from it, as do many comedians.
Remember he's a convicted criminal too, kids.

I was taught how to kill a man at the age of 11. Judo is a fantastic sport.
At the same time, someone also choked me and it only took a few seconds before I felt dizzy enough to tap-out. They were 11 too.
An item of clothing, a shirt collar, is more than enough.
I still don't understand why they don't use sails.
If it's all about burning cheap fuel, why not use free fuel when it's possible?
Spell your name wrongly. Works for me. I spell mine with a regional accent, which is how everyone says my name anyway.
Inda since 1997 (where good sites allow four character names).

I had a look at dennys.com and I'm pleased to say:
We have nothing like that.
They tried in Glasgow Airport, Scotland.
They got beaten up by public bystanders (or that's the way I choose to remember it).
They're so stupid.
I was going to say the same about the smell...
Put the leaves in a black bin liner and tie it up. Stick a fork through the bag to make some air holes. Leave it for six months.
I've had steam coming off mine in the winter. It's a lovely sight first thing on a winter morning.
Not strictly true.
I'm sat here at head office, and I can measure 30,000 sensors on over a dozen power stations. There is a link over the internet.
At the power stations, I can walk into the control room with anything I choose. Getting onto the power station site would be more difficult.
But you are right, the control room is not connected to the internet.
Let me get this right:
The BBC, who I have to pay by law, will have to pay Virgin Media, my ISP, who I already pay.
My money is going to who for what exactly?

Bless that post size limit or you may have broken cryptography, time, space, ...
...or the best?
But I think he meant ONLY contains the MD5, and I wouldn't know.
If it does exists, could it possibly be the worst password ever?
If it takes less than 3 years, you're doing it wrong.
