I live in campus associated housing, so I'm pretty sure that the search results are as obscured as they can get Now you've just given away even more information! You obviously live in an infested campus!:p
I know plenty of people who try (here in Scotland). A large percentage of people I know anyway, even if that is nothing on the scale of people who call themselves Christian. They really do make an honest attempt. I've decided recently that I'm not a Christian any more but that doesn't mean I'm going to start trying to be a jerk either.
It's a bigger piece of cruft than all versions of windows multiplied together Bad example, Windows has had a pretty big influence on the direction of the computing industry (for example the anti-virus/spyware industry wouldn't be so huge without it) in the most recent part of history, and will hopefully eventually be recognised by all for the giant turd that it is. If you hadn't grown up in a part of the world in some way affected by the bible (basically all but the most remote parts) then you might just accept what the GP meant rather than getting your snide remarks in there.
I've never heard of American Graffiti. It may have got him noticed, but he was made 'properly' famous by Star Wars.
It's only a couple of miles from me in fact:p In my original comment I was of course suggesting that the original poster's views were similar to those of the people of Cults. There are also Maryculter and Peterculter around here, I don't know who Peter or Mary are though.
I'd say he believes that video games (and other media) containing sexual or violent content are the root of all evil, and that he'd rather have no video games (or other media) than the possibility that the games could contain sexual or violent content. Wow - kind of like nuking the planet to stop all the murderers and rapists from performing their chosen tasks.
Those are elements, not molecules, they basically have to be given arbitrary names. Molecules can be given silly names by scientists if they want over and above their chemical name, but I feel nutrileum was made up by marketers rather than scientists having a bit of a giggle.
Well even if I had one I'd have still gone to see things like Iron Man. A lot of other stuff I don't go to see even though I get as many films as I want for £12 a month. Since an adult ticket is £7.10 these days then it's well worth it. I also buy some of their overly priced but awesome Ben and Jerry's ice cream now that I don't have to pay for tickets though:p
Musical notes are mostly contained within hex too, though hex only goes up to F and musical notes go up to G. It would be cool if that's somehow related to the answer (after reading below, basse seems to just relate to someone's name/a building, how boring >.> ):) But I'm off to work now, I'm not about to spend all day decoding a mysterious letter!
I'm not a cryptographer, but maybe it relates to musical notes (on a bass line rather than the standard EADGBE?).. in fact "would call this noise" also could suggest something similar, that the guy wouldn't enjoy the song the notes make?:p
The lenses in Cybershots are good quality. The camera was only 6MP which doesn't enable very large prints, but it was still pretty much the best I could get at the time on the budget I had decided on.
I agree with you about the laptops. I didn't say I thought they were especially great, mostly because of the prices.
I haven't played Forza, though apparently it's great for multiplayer. You can get it on the PC as well as the 360 so it's not exactly exclusive. I'd wanted Gran Turismo on the PC for many years, but now I have a job and a PS3 so I don't mind:p You can get the NFS series on PlayStation as well. NFS Carbon on the PS3 didn't look any better than on my Wii though, which is a bit stupid. Gran Turismo to me has always had the most interesting single player game model for me - acquiring licenses, buying cars and choosing in a fair amount of detail what to upgrade and setup, racing in small races for cash, working your way up through the classes, etc. One game that also does this quite well, but doesn't involve actual racetracks per se, is Test Drive Unlimited. Right now I'm actually waiting until Test Drive Unlimited 2 comes out and then I'll be driving for a good few weeks/months on my PS3:) Test Drive Unlimited on the PC is the best driving game I have ever played, it's a shame my Macbook Pro can't drive my HDTV at a decent resolution, and overheats/hangs after a few hours at full pelt..
My current camera is a Canon 30D btw, but I'd still be happy with the Sony as something that's easy to carry around. The only things I don't like about the Sony was the fact that you could only choose between two aperture settings, and the wheel at the top got a bit finicky when switching between play and shoot modes after a while. It's survived being hurled across a car park though (I was swinging the case around and didn't realise it was unzipped:p ), so I don't know what you mean about low quality really. I think I mainly got it for the large screen on the back, which was quite uncommon at the time. In hindsight I still think it was a great camera, better than my sisters' Nikons and Fujis cameras anyway (apart from on optical zoom). Maybe these days things are different.
Thanks for the link, that looks pretty good:) I've used 3D Studio a couple of times at work to update an underwater scene which we update every year with the latest structure for our tidal turbine, but 3D Studio is slooow (probably a lot to do with the fact that I'm importing the actual CAD model of the turbine, but nevertheless one of the engineers was shocked at just how slow the program was even opening up the materials editor and such compared to Inventor) and way over the top for our needs. I think I'd be better recreating the scene myself in another application, but have been too busy with other things to play about with different 3D packages..
Slashdot Mirror
What were the headlines like that day?
"Now you can keep your Boogers forever!"
"Woman buys $50,000 artificial Booger"
"Chinese scientists follow God's nose, extract Booger"
There's also the fact that pretty patterns and colours tend to help to attract mates..
An army of tiny laser wielding seamonkeys would be far more terrifying than a shark, if it didn't sound so cute!
Yeah I had thought he was a carpenter before Star Wars as well. Just like Jesus!
Your mom was on my face!
;)
Sorry, couldn't resist

I am not a number - I am a man!
Oh wait, I'm number 5. In your face number 6!
If they were on top of their game they would have made it a $98 discount :)
Others just don't like songs about bicycles
Sounds like meta-moderation has become a lot more fun than since I last tried it! Are there any new additions other than the castration option?
Oh, also for some reason I read your comment as "there is a small rhubarb in Aberdeenshire"

That would be your definition of freedom. GP is suggesting that Al-Qaeda have a different definition.
Ack, my sarcasm detector just overloaded!
It was like that when I got here.
