I remember thinking that at the time that the squiddies were moving around in a stupid fashion. They stayed in big easy to hit columns and wasted a lot of time swooping around instead of attacking the enemy quickly and efficiently.
showing an act that in the UK is illegal between male and female
Forgive my ignorance, but which particular sexual act are you talking about? I live in the UK and I kind of thought a male and female of consensual age could do what they pleased in private.
3) A real anteanna connector like TNC, SMA or something not 2 pins that might connect to some adaptor that has a real TNC or SMA on it. So I can connect it to an antenna mounted on the car
God yes. I was living out in the sticks at one point and I could only get a little bit of reception at odd times of the day, I would have loved to have been able to connect it to a bigger anteanna.
It would have been good to have got a directional anteanna and mounted it on the side of the house pointing in the direction of the nearest mast.
So this kid spends an average of 1025 minutes a MONTH on his cell phone? That rivals most business people
If he uses 1,025 minutes in one month that is equivalent to 12,300 minutes per year. (1,025 x 12 months)
Which is 33.676283938921307392522844820568 minutes a day. (12,300 / 365.242199 days)
I think if you added up all the little phonecalls through the working day a lot of business people would beat this kid. Sorry for the big numbers but I wanted to
I do a similar thing. I have a windows/linux dual boot system and I have a 30gig fat32 partition that either gets mounted by linux or shows up as a drive on windows. It's where I put any files that I want to access on both systems. Very useful
Light passing through a lens converges on the focal point and spreads out past that point. If it was focused on a reflective surface then the light would be diverging upwards from that point, so the closer your eye was to the focal point the more intense it would be.
The real danger would be if the reflective surface came between the lens and the focal point, the converging light would hit the mirror, be reflected upwards and continue converging until it formed a focal point in mid air. Nasty.
It varies with the gym. I used to go to a gym full of steroid abusers, which did fit your description. I now go to the gym at a local leisure center. The staff are helpful, the people using it aren't freaks and there are a lot more pretty girls there. It pays to shop around a bit.
If you don't enjoy the "LOL, look at teh n00b" experience you could get yourself a set of adjustable dumbells and train at home for a while. You can learn about weight training and get in shape in the privacy of your own home. If you do enjoy the teamwork aspect of training then you could get some of your friends round to train with you.
I do four "sets" for each exercise. When I can get ten "reps" in each set know I can raise the weight the next time I train. Each "set" is three minutes apart. There are many different combinations of sets and reps you can use, but four sets of ten is a fairly good one to start with.
If you have any questions about weight training feel free to ask.
He looks out the window, sees the "real world" and goes and builds up himself instead of a fake character
I can relate to this. The two guys I share a house with play computer games obsessively and are in terrible physical shape. I like to play games occasionally, but I go to the gym three times a week as well. I often have the strange experience of coming back from a gruelling workout at the gym to have a fat pasty housemate enthuse about how his character in Anarchy Online is now more powerful because it has levelled or because he has a new implant/buff/nano. At these times I find myself wondering why he doesn't go and "build himself up" instead.
Okay, this is a serious pet peeve. Fark is not a word, never was, never will be, STOP USING IT unless you want to be placed in the same category as lusers who make the Vulcan "V" sign.

For those of you who are not lucky enough to be English it's a spoonerism of "I haven't had a drink all night constable". (Constable is rank in the british police force).
A bunch of Super intelligent, yet hyperactive and ruthless 9 year olds, with ultra fast reflexes and photographic memory, but total lack of self-control and morals, begins their master plan of taking over the world.
I saw a similar show, (I think it was called "Scariest Police Chases") and in one chase the guy being chased had a criminal record and the narrator actually used the phrase "criminals never learn". I couldn't believe it, somebody was actually said that criminals lack the ability to learn from their mistakes. Like they are some kind of retarded sub-human scum.
I realize that this was not exactly the cream of American Television, but it really bothered me. It seemed to echo the whole American policy of simply locking people away instead of bothering to rehabilitate them.
For the folks asking "What's wrong with X?", I suggest you seek out the X windows chapter of that seminal work on the subject, "The Unix Haters Handbook" by Simson Garfinkel, et al.
Good to see those guys back together again. I wonder if "The Unix Hater's Handbook" will be as good as "Bridge Over Troubled Waters".

Wise.

Ouch. I reckon you're right though, gaming is linux's Achille's heel.

Of course, you have to be a firm believer in propane and propane accessories.

Shouldn't that be "frickin' giant Frensel Lenses attached to their frickin' heads!"

They've already taken over Counterstrike.

Yep. I know that one.
Like GNU, what a dumb choice of a name that was. They could have chosen a name that sounded good, but instead they went for a "recursive acronym".
Then they act all suprised and upset because people prefer "Linux" over "guh-noo".
Good to see those guys back together again. I wonder if "The Unix Hater's Handbook" will be as good as "Bridge Over Troubled Waters".
I'm not profficient enough with Linux to do that kind of work yet, but I appreciate the efforts of those who are.
Thankyou.
Interesting. I'm 6'4", I might have to try some big american cars out for size.
Don't feed the trolls.
