I have a netbook with a resolution of 1024x600. I routinely have to hide the status bar already to get a little more vertical space. If I can get rid of the status bar and still retain the functionality in other ways, then great!
If you're unlucky enought to get something strange, there's a button to get a new pair of words right away. I've never received two difficult ones in a row and by now I must have solved hundreds of them...
And then there's the clean-up work, the corrections.
Hell, I used to have to write everyhing twice. The first time to get it down
and the second time to correct the errors and fuckups.
Only twice?
Hell, if I'm writing anything of real importance I generally have to write most of the text closer to a dozen times!
Inserting new sentences, paragraphs, chapters, changing word or paragraph order, making clarifications and corrections - it's simply impossible for me to just write a long text from start to end. My mind just doesn't work like that.
It was a huge relief when I no longer had to write essays etc. with a pencil and could use a text editor.
But from the same speed, there is only one situation where an ABS causes longer braking distances: If the ground is not solid, but consists of sand, gravel or freshly fallen snow
...which are all pretty damn common in some countries.
I still prefer ABS but that's hardly 'only one situation'.
There's also a theory that some allergies are caused by the lack of correct, beneficial bacteria in the digestive system. These (normally present) bacteria can get wiped out by heavy antibiotics, causing allergies.
I'm no scientist, but it sounds also reasonable...
In real life, I get called a slut, a whore, and a bitch and people assume I am all those things.
Not necessarily.
Most men call someone a whore because it seems to be the one insult that always works. 'Slut' is very similar. 'Fat' is almost as effective - but not quite.
Most men are not verbally talented enough or have good enough intuition to use more accurate insults.
Now why are 'whore' and 'slut' so effective insults? Well, that's a whole different question...
Strange, I thought they were ok but not that great.
I started to get bored around book two but originally kept reading since I didn't really have anything to better to read back then. And boy am I glad I did.
If you ask me, the books really became great somewhere after Rhuidean and following Mat's storyline actually made me giggle out loud several times.(Not very manly, yea I know)
Yes, there's a lot of reading in Jordan's books but I don't mind that much since I'm a quick reader and even the side stories are interesting enough to keep my interest.
Can't wait to to see how well Sanderson does with the ending.
Myth 3 was a bit disappointing in comparison but 1 and 2 are still among my all time favourites.
They're also a perfect example of real-time strategy done right. Great controls, formations and tactics matter, interesting units, suitably challenging missions, great story...
Still being maintained and ported? Hmm, I'll have to look it up then...
Exposure to millions of photographs has just broadened my tastes in women. Except that I find very thin women lot less attractive than when I was in my teens...
Yes, tastes do change when we get older, but the internet just made me more openminded.
That second quote referred to the Thach Weave, which BTW does not rely on superior numbers. It is a method for forcing double teams.
Huh? I'm no expert on aerial combat but I read the wikipedia article on the Thach Weave and it does seem to require superior numbers in practice...
The pilots work in pairs and when an enemy fighter tries to engage one of them, the pair can execute the weave allowing the second pilot to attack the enemy.
So what happens if TWO enemy fighters attack, each targetting one of the pair?
IANAP but if you can see 9 cards just fine from the distance and then pick up one particular card to stare at it closer then yes, it does sort of hint at psychological differences...

Because it's a waste of space?

So?

Falling in a dream and realizing that it was a dream and deciding to stop. Once that happened I was able to turn things into what I wanted.
Yeah, I've had a couple of nightmares where I've realized it's just a dream while still inside the dream.
Unfortunately instead of being able to manipulate the dream I always wake up at that point.
Heh, good to see I wasn't the only one to think of that movie :D
Opening a new tab in Firefox already opens a blank page, not the home page...
I'm fairly sure this is even the default setting.

After 1-2 weeks the corpse is all bloated and as the blood unclots again it's oozing out from every orifice....

And similarly the culprit for the property destruction is the idiot smoking near flammable solvent - the bank president.
It's the only webmail I know of I can log in through a secure connection
Huh? https://mail.google.com looks pretty secure to me...
Ever try reading by a compact florescent bulb?
All the time.
The experience will pull your eyes out of their sockets and leave you blind by the time your thirty.
Suuure.
I miss my incandescent bulbs, my bright living room, and the ability to read a book for hours on end without getting a headache ...
Never got a headache from fluorescents either.
Yes, there's a visible difference with incandescents and compact fluorescents. Does it really matter in some way? Nope.
First three books were damn good?
Strange, I thought they were ok but not that great.
I started to get bored around book two but originally kept reading since I didn't really have anything to better to read back then. And boy am I glad I did.

Cannon Powershot?
:D
Point and shoot indeed
Yes!

Exposure to millions of photographs has just broadened my tastes in women. Except that I find very thin women lot less attractive than when I was in my teens...

Cool :)
:)
No, I have to say I haven't read any of those...
Amusingly enough, my interest in WWI aircraft got started by a) Peanuts comics and b) old pc game called Red Baron
Yes, I've read about that.
:)
Otherwise my interest in aerial warfare has been more about the WW I era. And the manouverability was a bit different back then
Ok, I can see how it works now.
Thanks for the explanation.

Or even better, ESCF.
It's a lot more comfortable for my hand to leave the thumb on X (WAXD) or C (ESCF). Using S or D forces my hand into a less neutral position.
Maybe they intend to make sure the next one won't even last this long?
"Damn, they're still inside... Ok, release the skunks!"
Well...
IANAP but if you can see 9 cards just fine from the distance and then pick up one particular card to stare at it closer then yes, it does sort of hint at psychological differences...
Very well, bad choice of words on my part.
:)
Let me rephrase: I must then belong to a minority as i do not curse more often in my dominant language.
Satisfied?
