I have lived in Bradford for 4 fears, which has a large asian population, with some large areas of white only and some asian only. When I once got lost in the asian only area I was chased - by a ricerboy civic, and only got away because I'm not stupid enough to lower my car and thus can handle speedbumps at 50mph.
Anyway - The BNP campaign came round to our house for the local elections and started trying to get my vote. I stood, arms folded and listened to this shaven headed, pierced chap waffling about my rights as the indigenous(sp?) population. He wafled so long that he was still there when the landlord turned up(Asian) for the(late) rent. The BNP chap spat at him and kicked his car as he stormed off. I have met 5-7 BNP members, and they were all incredibly racist, as were the 20 or so BNP voters I knew.
In short, I have seen both halves of this racism, and The BNP is a joke - any rational person knows what they are about.
British imperial, though my brothers mate has a 2003TDi golf, and that at best manages 58mpg at 80mph. BTW, I drive a 1996 Citroen Xsara - the engine design hasn't changed in 15-20 years.
The next engine change was 2003 - The HDI, which commands double the price secondhand and manages 50-60mpg around town.
Only in america would someone proudly state their car does 30mpg, as if that were amazing. The last big run in my car was at an average of 90mph for a couple hours, and averaged 60mpg.
I've had cats for a total of 4cat/years now, and never once has either of them had a hairball - could be because I groom them every couple of days. Not just for their good - its a miracle de-stresser.
If the people regularly drink good coffee, Starbucks won't consider opening nearby.
FYI, Starbucks are primarily a coffee shop, but as well as overpriced mediocre coffee, they also sell overpriced cake, iscuits etc. Just like any other coffee shop.
Oh yeah, and they are evil.
(This is/. - I don't have to back that last bit up with evidence)
You are technically correct - the best kind of correct.
Please attempt the following when you find a large safe area - Accelerate to 45, perform emergency swerve. Thats swerve, then swerve back onto line, as if you just avoided an idiot on the motor/freeway.
Repeat , but engage neutral at 45mph. Worst case, you spin out, best, you lose a ton of speed, and are now in another lane, one that might not have been expecting you there.
I agree, and often coast on the motorways, but in gear with the clutch down - instant power and control if needed(Warning: will screw clutch if not properly adjusted; "Instant" claim reliant upon reactions)
please, have an original thought some time soon. I have tried recent(4-8 months old), although not the most recent versions of redhat and mandrake, and believe me, although I can get them going (Mandrake easier) a lot of people won't.
Your attitude is one reason why people shy away from linux - you effectively say:
"you aren't good enough for my OS"
If it bothers you so much, why spend so much time ranting into your underpants?
I swapped to Firefox the other day, and will continue using it for the forseeable. (I incidently also downloaded spybot S&D, AVG and ADAware, which helped considerably)
My favourite bits? tabbed browsing and reading pages before they assemble properly - stops me waiting for annoying images etc to load.
Fantastic.
Incidently, can I combine this with my recent discovery of what a Grue is to upgrade from nerd to Geek(TM)?
step 1 cease all farming subsidies - it is cheaper for africa to import food than grow it - all money leaves africa, no investment in farming, all bad.
step 2 ???
step 3 The whole world profits in the long run!
Africa is just an example here, other countries are in need too.
If Honeywell were such genuii to come up with this idea in the first place, why werent they producing them? The alternative - that they were patent squatting and waiting for the lawsuit returns to build up - is just too shocking to think!
Unfortunately solar panels weigh a hell of a lot - best case scenario I know of is a similar weight to 5mm glass for decent(>12%)efficiency. Imagine a glass coated blimp?
Refuelling the blimp with H2 based on this system, yeah, but onboard, not going to happen until technology carries on a little.
Shifting into neutral whilst moving is classed as A Stupid Manouver(TM) because coasting technically doesn't give you much control over your vehicle - slowing down and steering isn't always enough.
On the other hand I've shifted into neutral in a Vauxhall nova at 120mph(indicated, probably 110 really) because half my 80 mile journey was essentially uphill, and the other half downhill.
If I hadn't thrashed the ballls off it to get to 120, I might have gotten good mileage, factoring in 20-30 miles coasting.

Ah damnit. What about "I for one welcome..."?
This one was e-mailed to me by a teacher
When asked to answer a question about circular math proof(I don't know) the written answer was
Fork + Spleen = shoe
The student appeared to be panicking at that point in the paper.
Simply change the gas in 'em.
I fell for that too, for about an hour. It was a slow brain day.
Hi John
You don't have to live off planet to be dissatisfied with how the "democratic leader of the free world" is (s)elected.
If this retails at less than £250, I'll get one - I've been putting off buying a CD multichanger due to space - in dash HD - fantastic!
punch cards. lots and lots of punch cards...
I know, and i'm happy with the impression I put across. It disarms people so i can get on with my world domination plans. Oops.
In other news, Slashdot has declared "Soviet Russia" jokes now officially over.
Apart from the AC's, thank you.

You want to try that at 90? I don't.
Thanks
