Yeh, well, I heard you're gay.

This is a bit of a blast from the past, I first watched these videos about 10 years ago, back before streaming video online, and I had to download it at school, winzip it so it could be split across a load of floppy discs, then unpack it again when I got home. (This was before home broadband, so would have taken hours to download on 56k).

Hang on, did I miss something cool appearing on the internets? How did it happen?! I spend about 10 hours a day staring at it...

Sounds like the sort of thing that you could do with him? You could just set a budget aside, and do it as a father/son thing?

Source? I wish to pass this on.

Yeh, I don't have that skill. I'm far too aggressive... I'm happy in my career, just not happy doing my degree, because I don't think it'll actually help my career from now on.

Depends which part of Web Design you're in really, it's as wide a field as Software Development IMO. Web Systems Design is kind of an overview type course, it takes in front-end design and development, server-side development, server administration, database design and administration, business shite, project management etc. It's actually a very widely reaching degree, just very badly named... I doubt I'll struggle to get work after Uni, I've got 4.5 years of experience and a semi-decent portfolio (needs updating at some point). I just don't think my degree will be a factor. Nearly all the successful front-end developers I know are self taught. Feck support work, you need people skills for that!

Nahhh, not that nerdy... Web Systems Design. I might think it was worth it in 30 years time, but right now it's hard to see...

16 hour stint working on a uni assignment today... Many more days to come like this. Uni sucks kids, don't do it! Spent 4 years getting a life instead.

Blimey, that looks bad... I see a truck in the background...

Bad times, had similar happen to me once. Hard to know what to do in that situation. I seem to remember I just did a U turn and went a different way, wasn't in the mood for any argument.

No, don't. That is very silly advice. You need to replace xpcom.dll. What OS are you running? Does the error message specify the location of xpcom.dll? There are more than one of them I believe. Although, a swift search tells me it's related to old versions of Firefox (2 and 3) and not Internet Explorer, which is very strange. Personally, I would run a virus scan and an adware/malware scan, then if that doesn't solve it, uninstall Firefox and reinstall the latest version. If the error still occurs, then start playing around with the .dll file.

Yes. One of them.

A chap who lives next door to my Mum has one with some fancy pipes on it (Vortek rings a bell?), and he likes to start it up and leave it ticking over for a few minutes on crisp, cold, winters mornings while it warms up. Burble burble burble...

Gotta be the B6 S4. V8 power!

Favourite bike is this one by far: However, it doesn't have pedals, so I guess my Simtra ST-1. Spent a ridiculous number of hours building it, everything was modified somehow.

Trudat, I did the same thing in New Mills. Woman pulled out in front of me, was not very fun at all. I put my brakes back on soon after.

Get on with it! Brakeless in the rain is the same as brakeless in the dry, apart from you're wet with rain instead of sweat.

No you won't, at all. A copper may well ask you why you're wearing it, but they cannot arrest you for it. You have to break the law, aid the law being broken, or witness the law being broken to be arrested or required to do anything by a copper. You don't even need to tell them your name if you don't want to unless they suspect you of anything. What about halloween? Or any night out actually in fancy dress? Or people wearing costumes to blag money for charity? Wearing aviators whilst also sporting a big beard and long hair? Other countries are irrelevant, as they have their own laws and as this is a religious thing, not a race thing, the only country that matters is this one. Since when has wearing a motorbike helmet been banned everywhere? It's not at all, you just have to remove it in certain places, where your face/identity matters. That's what most replies in here have said already about the burka, that it should be legally required to be removed when your identity needs to be established. Are you joking? That just some biggoted wanker ranting away on youtube, he's not even slightly reliable. He didn't reference a single one of his statements.

Since when? It's a free country, you can wear whatever you like. that's kind of the point, it's a democracy. Who the f**k are you to say why I shouldn't wear a face covering scarf? If I believe it's important to me, then I'm going to do it. This country isn't soft on religion at all, it's simple accommodating to people, whether they're religious, fat, stupid or short.

My opinion is not at all, seeing as I have the right to wear a scarf/balaclava, but the police should be able to order people to remove them.

I was quoted nearly £5k TPFT a couple of years ago, so not much cheaper than a fairly fast car. Fact is that a lad in his early 20s on a hayabusa is a very high risk.

Yeh that's true, if you pas your test and get a supercharged, methanol fed busa with 600bhp, you can only legally ride at the speed limit. Get real though, every Busa ever sold was only bought because it's a rocket ship designed to break speed limits. If you wanted to do 70mph, there are bikes that are lighter, more efficient on fuel, comfier and more fun in the bends than a busa. Fact is that you can make the rules as tough as you like, it only makes people more determined to bend them. No-one can pass their test and get on a Hayabusa anyway, ever looked up the insurance cost on one when you've only had a licence for a few months?

Don't blame you. She would get it, and make no mistake.

For laptops or desktops? Simply put though, they're significantly cheaper and significantly slower. I have an i5-3210m in my laptop, and it's not exactly "gutsy" IMO. It's fast enough for the stuff I do, but I wouldn't want anything slower. The main difference in laptop land is that the i3 is a dual core without hyperthreading, so it has 2 threads, whereas the i5 is a faster dual core with hyperthreading, so it has 4 threads, all of which are faster than one of the i3's threads. (Roughly speaking, that's not how hyperthreading actually works but that's the simple explanation lol). The CPU can be changed, but it's a ballache.
