Exercise is recomended for people suffering from depression. I know I suffer more in the winter months when I can't face the cold while riding my bike.
I was pulled over by the police some weeks ago. The copper said to me "you look nervious". I'd done nothing wrong, my car was in tip-top condition, I was nervious because this copper had the power to change my life on a whim.
I used to write music at school. I even have a GCSE qualification in music.
Writing music is easy. Writing music is quick too. Someone at the top of their game could knock together a decent tune in a day. Another day to add some words. Another day for some polish.
The only reason I can see for long timeframes is that the artists are not at the top of their game and hence should not expect as much as the get... or expect everything they get.
was primarily people chatting in video games that drove me away from online gaming.
Why? Is your mom teh fag lamer noob?
Seriously, I can't stand voice chatting on games either. There's always someone with a bad mouth. One who's played the game a million times more than me and like to tell me at every opportunity. One who get a little bit too excited. One who wants to chat about anything but the game...
If ISPs want to keep their traffic local they should own a large server with massive storage for their users. Maybe have a file retention of 10 days to keep the size down. Maybe sell extra retention time to users who want it. Imagine the download speeds when connected to your ISP, who might only be 5 hops away! Imagine not having to upload anything either!
If only ISPs bought into this model, we'd all be sorted.
I'm surprised no universities have experimented with something like this already.
(I know the first rule, I know it used to happen like this, I know ISPs are stupid as mud)
Our IT department recently gave us a new web app. It saves one department an hour a week, it costs me an extra hour a week. An extra hour a week I could be spending with my family.
Dregs of society? Hell yeah! Add the Jews to the list too? Hell yeah! What about the blind, they're no good to anyone? Yeah, add them to the list too. Any generic part of society I can't stand? Put them at the top of the list.
As sad as it may be, a lot of us non-USA citizens picture all Americans in this light. Purely selfish and self-centred. I'm alright Jack. Not my problem. Fuck 'em all. My way or the highway.
Very, very sad world to live in.
Does the saying "you only get out what you put in" mean anything in the USA?
I like your motorbike story. I too didn't have my motorbike stolen 20 years ago.
They broke the chain and padlock.
They rammed a screwdriver in the ignition and turned on the electrics.
I had no kickstart so the only way to fire the engine was to bump it.
I had an FS1E and those in the know would know that the gearbox is upsidedown. The twats were trying to bump it in top (4th) gear and it wouldn't start. They didn't even set fire to it, which is still surprising to this day.
I miss that bike. 70mph down hill on a 50cc (bored out to 65cc - shhhhh) bike made me king of all school bikers:)
Looking at this from the side on console games. TAKE THE FRAGGIN' MICROPHONES OFF YOUR KIDS!
90% of the time I get abuse it is from the high-pitched young. I don't even know how to respond to some of the things they say. I cannot be witty, agression doesn't work and swearing is pointless because they know more than I do, even if I'm more streetwise than the average 30-something.
What is the teabagging thing too? I'm a man, they're young boys. What the hell are they doing to me after a frag? They're the quick ones to shout fag and gay. The mind boggles.
The other 10% are drunk adults or meth-heads and I enjoy the banter with them. This should be promoted.
Why does gambling have to involve casino games? I am a true 'punter' and have never entered a casino.
I'll have 20 or 30 punts this weekend. All for about 50p each. All on sporting events. All for fun, not for the big win.
And sporting events can be gamed. I'm up by 1000% this season due to all the non-draws at the start of the season. My favourite bookie got the odds terribly wrong on one game last week and I took him to the cleaners.
Just keep the losing feeling in the back of the mind when betting though. That feeling is the one people experience most of all when playing.
Are you kidding? Jump at the chance to work for one of the big boys: Ladbrokes, Will Hill, Stan James, Bet365, Paddy Power... the list of players goes on and on.
There is no stigma. Everyone likes a gamble. Most of us are not addicted to it and only place 50p bets.
I'd love to work for one of them. The maths alone fascinates me.
The worse of them all is the government sponsored lottery. Stay away, stay away.
And I've read that the RSPB want more wind turbines - if they are not blinded by the myths, why is everyone else?. More bird deaths are caused by cars than anything else.
I hope you didn't like your mod points because you wont be seeing them for a long time....or does that only happen when you disrespect Taco's dress sense?
I used to play it on the system with less spec than that. 450mhz, 64mb GFX card, 384mb ram... OK, that sounds a little more, but a GFX card plus extra RAM is not worth mentioning... even though I did just mention it.
We used to do something similar on open FTP sites. No one could delete your warez, which was handy after you'd spent an hour uploading a 10mb file. God damn deleters!!!
You kids and your torrents are spoil these days. And if you must walk on my lawn, please mind the gnomes.

All of us are probably a little scared of that too but we should all know a little bit of CSS. No?

Aw bless, can't cope with the Queen's english? Maybe you hicks should have picked French.
And I put on my polite telephone voice when speaking to those things.
POS: Do you have a repayment or interest mortgage?
ME: I have a repayment.
POS: Sorry, please answer "repayment" or "interest"
ME: RE-PAY-MENT
POS: Would you like to speak to an advisor?
ME: Yes please.
POS: Sorry, please answer "yes" or "no"
ME: Fucking do one.

Talking is overrated.

We bitch...
Our IT department recently gave us a new web app. It saves one department an hour a week, it costs me an extra hour a week. An extra hour a week I could be spending with my family.
You wonder why we bitch?

Fucking prick.

>> There is a fantastic software library for the DS with hundreds if not thousands of titles.
Each one similar to the last!
Those of us who pass in a manual, the vast majority, can also drive autos but no one chooses to. To me, autos feel unresponsive and gutless.
I wonder if the American Slashdot control freaks would choose a manual if it was offered more readily? Maybe a poll is in order?
Get him some Drum and Bass (DnB) or some Jungle. He'll love it.

Awww, you could have hit comedy gold with a bit a thought.
Surely 8th is "If this is your first login, you have to upload" or "if this is your first supscription, you must download all headers"
6th RULE: No Outlook Express, No Grabit.
People using the same username and password on forums is the easiest way to get your account stolen.
