    I was wondering where all the surf had gone.. and do you have any idea how difficult it is to get a surfboard booked onto a plane? Grr. Oh well, off back home to good old Great Brittany.

    Exactly. The environment is like a series of ice boxes and beer cans. Only the other day I received two environments, and not wanting to clog up the ice box with too much beer, I just drank them instead.

    That's funny, it's the first time I've said it. Say, your not one of them fanatic 'political' types are you?

    And I laugh/cry whenever I see people talking about Republicans/Democrats, I mean wtf people.. well the UK is almost as bad.. political systems need to be a bit more open.. possibly not even involving parties but just involving people voting directly on issues? It's not that often that one party will hold the same ideals that the majority of the nation holds..

    I dunno, individually the games can be okay, I like Need For Speed Carbon (and I have one of the older ones too, and borrowed another off my brother). Endless versions of sports games don't interest me though..

    If palms don't sweat then how come sometimes you can leave condensation (that quickly evaporates) on a book cover or desk from your palms? I don't think it's from palming other parts of my body.. :P

    Yeah way to back up your arguments. What's being religious got to do with being a bigot anyway? Or are you saying that people aren't allowed to consider certain practices wrong if their religion forbids it (not eating certain types of meat, not conducting in certain kinds of activity etc).

    Try watching Chopper instead then, I think that's the film that got him noticed. He's a pretty good actor.

  13. Re:AGP or PCI-Express on Is Video RAM a Good Swap Device? · · Score: 1

    Not wanting to burst your at first seemingly correct bubble, but the OP points out that you can run 2 old IDE HDs at full transfer rate on even 33Mhz PCI, so anything newer than that shouldn't be suffering a bottleneck on the bus (though some people have pointed out that reading back from AGP takes a long time compared to writes).

  21. Re:Pluto probe makes discoveries at Uranus on Pluto Probe Makes Discoveries at Jupiter · · Score: 2, Funny

    It would have sounded a lot better if this were about Uranus:

    "In February, the New Horizons probe passed through Uranus system on its way to Pluto, and we saw some spectacular pictures. Now, the science teams have published detailed scientific results, along with new images and movies. The probe's instruments saw clouds form from ammonia welling up from Uranus's lower atmosphere, and heat-induced lighting strikes in the polar regions, and fresh eruptions on Uranus' moons. New Horizons also captured the clearest images ever of the tenuous Uranian ring system, where scientists spotted clumps of debris that may indicate a recent impact inside the rings, or some more exotic phenomenon."

    Kind of difficult to take space seriously since Uranus was named.
