a pom is an aussie derogatory term for the English. There was a reason, but I certainly can't remember why though. Thought they called us limeys since the ships we sent them over on all people got to drink was lime cordial - the stuff doesn't go off for a very long time. O and in England yanks are septics - it's a bit of rhyming slang that has found it's way into everyday(ish) language - yank = septic yank.
A faverate quote from my boss: I look at using large amounts of pirated MS software as a way of contra-charging them for the amount of productivity we loose though there stuff crashing. (we're a fairly small firm and being in a vaguely cotnructionish trade we contra-charge suppliers and subcontractors who do stuff wrong all the time)
At a gig i recently worked a frankly awful band mined very badly (names left out to proctect the giulty, think god awful girl bands and you wud be on the right lines) and the gig soundie type used a load of analogue filters to try to make the music sound better. being a lampie I won't deem to coment (aside from I wudn't have bothered) but when he was playing real music before the start of the gig it sounded pretty good. so yes modern music does indeed use muchos vintaage soundalike gear.
well im home from work (and now the pub and prtty pished) but yes a pointless job(DBAish) is why i spend my time doing nount but browse slashdot. nnot dissing the site, it rocks but u know there's under employed and under employed. still getting paid to do sweet fanny adams is all good
You can allready get flat pannel speakers, which importantly don't weigh very much for those of us poor b******s who find our selves moving them. I think (and i stand to be correct here i feel) that they work on some kind of pizzo electric thing.
This is why writtern consitutions are a stupid idea. If no one condescends to give you the right you don't have it.

The way to avoid this is to turn up late of course. I never make it on time any way and you know theres going to be at least 15minutes you can avoid at the start
I do hope they like drinking tepid water though:P it wont warm the lake up i argeee with every one there, but the drinking water....now that will be pleasent. or do poeple not drink tap water in toronto?
But then you'd wish you'd spent the money on a card as well as disks - if your splashing out on 4 disks you might as well have a card and get the best of of them
My mate had just this problem. FTP Server for a LAN party, RAID0 to speed things up, tansported in the back of a car, maybe bgumped arround a bit. Got there to find a disk had failed rendering the data on both disks useless
Also it can be beaten in water hence the blue glow of pools of coolant water, its the equiverlent of a sonic boom for light. The thing is the speed of light in water is 2/3's the speed of light elsewhere so particles can easily go faster than light does
Or you could just get as close as you can manaager to light speed, which would slow time down (effectively, not litterally) so as that whilst as far as we are conserned it maek take you xHundered years to reach your destinenation but to there bodies (and to the craft) it would seem as if it took a far shorter length of time.
those of us who regularly used big f*** off speakers as seats (no they weren't plug in hence vibrating u sick minded fool) will know that magnetic fields are a real life danger to e.g. all the mag strips on stuff in your wallet.
And I'd actaully be prepared to roll up on one. Lastly I might even actaully get were I was going. even a push bike beets the seegway hands daown surely?
Of course we could all with out breaking the law rember t ouse his address whenever we filled in a form likely to result in junk mail which asked for a snail mail address. granted It wont make up for it but its a step in the right direction i mean he'd get a good post bag of sh*t a day, the number of poeple who read this and have forms to fill in in...it beats "1 long road"
correct me if im wrong - I my analogue electronics isn't very good - but wouldn't 60Hz (we use 50 in eurpope) suddenly cease to be the magic frequency for get the most out of your power lines?
