  1. I was thinking about our recent discussion on the subject of being enuthusiastic about being a developer and something occurred to me as an outsider: You chaps make it sound as if it's rather like declaring yourself a fan of Texmex cooking by becoming a flank steak.

    Cars!

    Agree with all Enoch says .But stress the above. Sensible at all times, and for all people.

    Cars!

    May I helpfully suggest that you solve the above problem by filling the rear of your car with floozies?
  4. Fascinating. Do you remember your first time fondly?
  5. Multiple systems? Different architectures? Take your point though. But I still think the cost and effectiveness improvements are the bottom line in an era of mach4 SAMs etc.
  6. Surely you have time to work out a BIT? twenty minute brisk stroll with a notepad?
  7. Dammit, now I want Reeses... We used to take a massive jar of peanut butter and huge slabs of chocolate on camping trips. Energy breaks from God.
  8. I am now officially filingall notions of poolitical affiliation and philosophy under 'pointles'. Libertarian? Right wing? Left wing? None of it makes any sense any more. I'm in favour of beer and pies. Who's with me?
  9. I really don't see any alternative to using unmanned vehicles in air warfare. Cheaper, faster, less politically sensitive, no s&r... the list goes on. I guess the only small problem is that it becomes very hard to explain culpability when that missile hits the orphanage.
  10. Flat full fat coke. Drink a tonne of it. Only problem in serious cases is it makes it harder to tell when your guts start bleeding. Commiserations, anyway.
  11. Oooooh. I get it.
  12. I prescribe a pint of gin.
  13. They should have a particularly spindly aircraft known as a catfighter.
  14. It's this sort thing that makes me wary of any cooking by an anglophone. Have you ever TRIED eton mess? Simple dishes, cooked with the highest quality ingredients. It's what you cook when your economy works. Hence our national dish now being curry. I cooked a curry the other night. It was so hot that when I was washing up the next day, my hands started to throb.
  15. I'd go for something more like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with the FEV virus.
  16. That might work, if the pizza base was thin enough. Maybe a thin layer of meringue, and plenty of sharp fruit and thick cream or mascarpone. EDIT: oh! Break up the meringue into chunks and cook it over on the pizza. Use very thin strands of mozzarella to hold it in place, then douse in double cream. Be like an Eton mess pizza.
  17. I remember encountering this problem years and years ago. THQ customer support annoyed the **** off me by being increbily superior about my 'mistake'. So, commiserations. Practically speaking, however, you're ****ed. You need a dedicated graphics card.
  18. How about deep frying a . I was almost with her until she added the powdered sugar. That's not a recipe. That's what would happen if the brazzers network made food. EDIT: linked on same page -
  19. Our communist friend, being wholly isolated in academe/their own trousers, will also be ignorant of the complexity of maintaining an aircraft in operational readiness. Buying a US aircraft means all the supporting guff into the package.
  20. I know a way to gurantee the cancer won't kill you. We hire a Brazilian to shoot you. Cheered my mum up. ~ I hesitate to say this because I don't exactly have all the facts, but IL2 sounds like a bum deal. Survival in these medical terms usually means lasting more than 5 years. For an equivalent risk of dying immediately I don't see the advantage, really. ~~ We adopted the immune deficiency paradigm for my mother's treatment, which hit stage three soon after being diagnosed. The foundation of this response is that cancer arises from a weakened immune system failing in its daily job of weeding out cancer. And that in instances where patients beat cancer taking (for example) holy water it's the immune system doing the work. This means having as simple and sensible a diet as you can stand without compromising your morale, taking exercise, plenty of water, and keeping a positive fighting outlook. The issue of morale is key since we know that depressive or subordinate people often suffer weakened immune responses. It also meant applying chemo and alternative treatments where their action would not critcially compomise the imune system. Where it did so at all we would act to renew the immune system as fast as possible following completion of the treatment. Obviously, as you know, my mother only lasted just shy of five years so didn't technically survive. But on the other hand her initial prognosis was only six months. The biggest advantage of the immune paradgm is that irrespective of the efficacy I can attest to its creating a high quality of life in the end period. Which, compared to people who get banjo'd by a bus sucks but is better.
  21. I thought this was hilarious. Did nobody catch on, or did it just suck? Er...
  22. Why in the name of sweaty crevices would ANYONE want to eat deep fried butter?
  23. Actually, what really matters is who you're using it on. Chechnya et al. haven't any air forces. Should've stuck to yaks.
  24. I'm happy the world is not like Risk or Hearts of Iron. Otherwise we would totally have been conquered for our spawn and victory points Bloody Swedes in Empire Total War. Declare war on no pretext whatsoever, at any odds, and completely refuse all peace overtures. For me any European campaign, step one, annihilate Sweden by conquering it and handing it over to the Iroquois indians. What were we talking about? Oh yes, A-levels.
  25. Steady on, Cal. It's not easy for our cross-dressing colleague to stay on top of the news as well maintaining all these alts.
