Top criminals are the most intelligent people around.
About 10 years ago I took one of those intelligent and aptitude tests. I was being laid off and the company, trying to smooth things over, helped me to find new work. This wasn't an ordinary test, it took three days.
The results unsurprisingly showed I was a clever chap. Spatial awareness off the chart. Handwriting the worst the examiner had ever seen. Mental arithmetic better than most people's calculator skills.
Top job "recommended": Master criminal Next job: entrepreneur
We're called Document Managers these days and we get paid higher than the national average in wages.
Even large projects, let alone large companies, cannot afford to be without one.
Information is king, espiecially when entering the liquidated damages stage of a project.
Worse job I've ever had. Can't wait until this project ends and I put my name forward to do something more techical. I was only supposed to write the fucking database (you fucking wankers!)!!
For the big asteroids, a single bullet would split the asteroid in half. Another two carefully aimed bullets would split the first halves in half again. A final set of four bullets would vaporise the asteroid fragments, as shown below.
A lot of folk howled with laughter in Europe when middle America made a fuss about Janet Jackson
Actually to be fair a lot of people in the US also couldn't understand what the problem was. However those who complained about it had the louder voice...
How can you say that? MoS helped kill the house scene.
We went there a few times around '98, '99, 2000. Travelled 150 miles to get there, names on the door and all that stuff. The place was about dressing up, not the music or the scene.
One time we were upstairs, in a tiny room, and the local DJ was banging. But becuase MoS was not full, it wasn't creating the desired atmosphere so the heavies kicked us out onto a shoulder to shoulder main dancefloor. Bang out of order. We never went back.
The Cross near Kings Cross was always a better club - is that still open? It was well worth the traveling time.
Club UK before that was a proper club. I miss those days.
I visited a school last week as part of their open day. There was a bowl of soapy water that the kids were bubbling methane through. They let me grab a handful and set fire to it. Big fun.
Pigs hearts, lungs, eyes, parabolic mirrors heating water,... Best days of your lives kids.:-)
I've played browser based MMOs. All HTML and JS, no plugins, all free(-ish).
The people with the biggest bank balances always win. This week's hot item is a red shirt of death, only $5, recover your health 1% faster. Next week's hot item is the blue shirt of death, only $6, recover your health 2% faster.
I played one where the richest player constantly begged the developers to make him the pink shirt of death with 50% health recovery. They sold it to him for $100. Rumour was he spent well over $2,000 to become top-dog.
I giggled like a little schoolgirl when I read that.
We, the family, were talking about nipples last Sunday at dinner.
Our guinea pig, Jason, died a few weeks back. We were never sure if he was a boy guinea pig or a girl guinea pig. My daughter, 10, said he must have been a girl as he had nipples. We all smiled and corrected her - boys have nipples too.
Nipples. I'm still giggling like a girl (with nipples).

You do twice in succession?
Fair play to you geezer!
You aren't alone.
"I haven't logged-on in weeks/months" is something I hear more and more. My wife hasn't logged-on in over a month. I still don't have an account.
What's next kids?

It's a shame that I'm so lazy.
7mhz? Bloody luxury!
Back in our time we had to draw the frames, paint...
As bad as it sounds, most people survive knife stabbings here in the UK.
I always remember something my elderly father said about knive-crime:
"We didn't have knife crime in my days. We had coshes and knuckle-dusters."

The solution is "text to columns". Yeah, Excel won't ask, you have to "tell".
You can choose any delimiter you please.
Non-issue.
You just need a small spacecraft.

I too remember paying less thatn a fiver for Spectrum games. I also remember returning a lot of them because they wouldn't load...
I ship a lot of my games to European countries after a sale on eBay. I even charge stupid amounts of postage and the buyers seem happy to pay.
Um, dunno where you from, but in England the fire service is paid through your local council tax. It's not nationally paid for.
We can also go to prison for not paying. That's how you make sure everyone pays...
[you dumb fuckin' money-lovin' capitalist yanks. how can you let this sort of thing happen?]
Exactly. If you have nothing to hide, why try and hide your website?
The Queen does get money from us taxpayers. I think the figure is around 50p a year per subject.
Pure comedy Au.
You jest but most of the 'encrypted' files I receive are like this:
Hi Inda,
Please find attached our encrypted data. The password to the zip file is "pass".

I just Googled using their handy date range form, in 12 month blocks, back to 2005.
Nothing about nothing.

I cannot trust my eyes so I used a difference filter and there really isn't much difference. Interesting Mr Google but one has to ask why?
They still do all that in the UK.

I keep seeing IPv6 addresses on my home network; on the XBOX360, on the router, P2P, the laptop.
I've done exactly zilch in setting up IPv6. What gives?
Is Taco still giving out badges for first posts?

I stopped playing at that point.
