  1. I skim read, looks like I read the posts in the wrong order, sorry dude.
  2. That's completely different, you can't disprove gravity or aerodynamics, but the effect of chocolate depends on a massive number of other factors. All they can ever say about chocolate is "In these circumstances, this is proven. In other circumstances, this is unproven." It's definitely not, in any way, guesswork though. They guess at a hypothesis, then prove or disprove it, so it's pretty much the opposite of guessing. (I'm talking about actual scientific experiments, not made up pharmaceutical trials and stuff).

    The Angry Thread.

    Sounds to me like it's just a compound thing, lots of life-stuff combining together to make for a very frustrated/negative atmosphere. Things in common though you say? Trip sounds good, I'd just try to go into it with the mindset of leaving the shit behind. Maybe try to work a surprise for her into it? Like a little "Thanks for putting up with me for being grumpy" thing? I find that sort of thing helps us both, might work for you?

    I feel like that from time to time, it's natural dude. During times of massive stress I find I just direct a lot of my frustrations onto her. Try to deal with the shit, rather than taking it out on her. I know sometimes that's easier said than done, (I can't just sack off uni, for example, even though I hate it and consider it to be one of the worst decisions I ever made), but there are ways and means. Have you tried getting away for a weekend or just a day out? Try doing similar stuff to the kind of thing you did when you last felt all loved up.
  5. Typical, forgot the bloody link... Added to the OP now. Cheers guys.
  6. Hello all I have a mate at uni who is researching into the use of CSS pre-processors, so whether you are a developer, designer, DBA or whatever, your input will be greatly appreciated! If you've never used pre-processors, it'll take roughly 2 seconds for you to complete. If you have, then the rest of your input would be invaluable. Thanks in advance to any respondents! http://t.co/dwnBHZnI
  7. Well done dude. Hope it all turns out well for you!
  8. As far as I know, it's not illegal to download telly that was recorded in the same country that you live in. That is my understanding, but my understanding is many years old and I could have just assumed it then, so best not to take it as read.
  9. Shorter version, Dave Anscombe in bullshitting shocker. OPEN YOUR EYES MMAAHHHHNNNN, THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.
  10. When Rainy-B posts in BOTI, you know shit's about to go off.
  11. What hate? I've seen nothing but mild banter and genuine advice.
  12. Can I play? I know it's not a telly, but people come round to watch films on it from time to time... The bits this thread cares about are: 3x 28" Hannspree 1920x1200 monitors Teufel Concept B speakers/USB amp. Big ass Pulp Fiction poster.
  13. Not sure if this was intended to have me in with the 'business people', but I felt I should clear up anyway, I'm not a business person, I tried it and it's far too complicated, stressful and difficult to make decisions for me. I'm now strictly an employee for other people. I don't even like doing freelance web development work because than means asking people for money.
  14. You commissioned a logo design without checking thoroughly if the name was already taken? The business world is going to kick you in the fanny.
  15. Pfft. Just steal it! Let someone else do the hard work recording it for you.
  16. If you want it on DVD, yeh it'll be loads easier. I've never looked into it much to be honest though, was just pondering. I tend to just download any video I want so never have to record anything.

    Sounds like she needs booting. I've always been of the opinion that if you need to have a break, then it's not going to last. I've had what I consider some huge arguments with my missus and we've not come close to being "off". Hope you get it sorted anyway dude.
  18. Why do you need to plug your laptop into a DVD recorder? If you want to record something, couldn't you just get a screen recording program?

    alloy bolts

    I'd never use them anywhere, far too weak for my liking. I used mainly stainless ones throughout my last build, apart from the rear Pro 2 bolts and crank bolts which were titanium. (Possibly the front hub bolts as well). If I were to ever build again, I'd use all stainless ones for M6 and below, and titanium above that. Not a fan of titanium bolts in aluminium threads... They seemed to corrode together, or something.

    There's been a lot of shit about that recently, basically the only people you can trust is eBuyer. I'd ask for a full refund and order another. I was really tempted the other day when they were £184 with £100 cashback, but my current server is ticking along nicely. I'm just going to wait for the ML110 to come on cashback again. It worked out at around £250 last time it was on, but has a quad core Xeon and will take 32gb of RAM.

    Meh, it really annoys me when people can't put the tiny amount of effort into their posts that is required to use sentences. I rarely bother picking people up on it any more though, it's a lost cause. Nobody can speak or write correctly any more! (Neither can I btw).
  22. Heard that kinda shit so many times, but I really don't buy it. I was a massively heavy drinker for a couple of years, as were all my mates, and none of us have any visible symptoms of long-term damage. The 3/4 heavy stoners I know, however, definitely show signs of long-term damage, like slow speech, going off on random tangents in the middle of someone else talking, not listening to people, and not getting upset about things when they really should. Less addictive? Again, I've known 3/4 heavy stoners who all struggled to kick it after a couple of years of daily use (even if they switched to normal fags), yet after a couple of years of drinking heavily, none of my mates are having "issues". Also only known of a couple of occasions in my life when I saw anyone getting violent because of alcohol. Far more occasions than that when sober! Just from my experience. I could easily be totally wrong!
