  1. It's going to be hard to beat the footage of that ferarri loosing controll then doing flips off the road with the fat german guy in his bmw behind going AHH NEIN NEIN NEEEEEEEEIN!

    :P

  2. It is in comparison with other supercars like i said

    It's still not that slow! Even in comparison. Ok... maybe compared to like an SLR or an ENZO...

    What a waste of an NSX...

    Yeah :S who the hell would rather have a ferrari than an NSX...

    Thats like going from a 6" cock to a 4" cock in one move...

  3. it's quite funny seeing the quiet girls you know locally making themselves look like pandas, taking some shit "self portrait" shots, then talking about how they 'luv bein random'.

    *sigh*

    Muhahaha, that made me laugh so much. It's so true :lol:

  4. When you've passed your test, your not a good driver. Don't think you are. Because you can push the pedals hard and pound the gearstick means nothing.

    I love watching the lower 6th who are just passing their tests around now, RAG the hell out of their cars down the road, break like mad... then totally f**k up parking in a space 2x as big as their car :D

    When you've been driving 5+ years then you have the experience to say you might be a good driver, but untill then remember how easy it is to f**k up!

    During the day and around town I stay at the speed limit and usually change around 3k revs, I'm a pretty slow / boring driver.

    There is a time and a place for everything. the important thing is knowing where and when that is.

    exactly! The only problem with alot of lads is that they seem to think that they really are good drivers, when infact they aren't. I know i'm sure as hell not a good driver... I won't even pretend to be. My dad, now, he's a good driver. I don't even know how the hell he manages to get around / into / through half the gaps and spaces he does, or how he can just keep such a constant speed on country roads. Just 40+ years of experience and racing I guess (and about 10 serious crashes to learn from too! >_< )

    Late at night on open country road, coming back from friends houses I will just have bursts of pushing the car as fast as it will go. At the end of the day even if something did go wrong all that i'd do was slide off the road and stop in a field. Alright, it's a bit hypocritical, but I need to get it out my system sometimes! ;)

  5. box.net probably isn't ajax at its best, but it certainly isn't bad.

    Indeed, I more just ment the site an design overall, and web 2.0 at it's best - the ajax is simple, and to the point though!

    I still believe web 2.0 is a load of shite though. Its just people trying to coin a technology and/or method which has been around for ages. Don't get me wrong, its a good thing, but just media hype.

    We will gracefully agree to disagree! Now I don't like the name 'web 2.0' because it prompts that there is some kind of solid and visible divide between web 1.0 and web 2.0... but call it what you like - I follow the concept whole heartedly and understand they key behind the movement. You can, in truth open any website and say 'yeah.. thats web 2.0' or 'no thats not web 2.0', and the web 2.0 sites are always better.

    If you're lost as to what the hell Alex or i are going on about, wonder over to netvibes, one of the best implimentations of AJAX i've seen, and is a pretty solid example of what web 2.0/ajax means. Basically its turning websites more into an application rather then a flat website.

    Yeah they have great ajax, but most of the trickery is done using the prototype framework and the ajax is just used to store and recover the work of prototype. In reality the ajax there isn't too advanced, just well designed. With the new packs that are popping into the marketplace it's getting easier and easier to push dynamic aps like that. I've been playing with prototype quite a bit in the past month, and I've just baught a book to start learning more advanced ajax - it really is the way forwards.

    I think the best ajax around is seen at google (the site that started all the interest really) with things like google maps, google calendar, and now google shares.

    Anyway, ideas for a new craze for the internet. Well, there isn't many left. The ideas that are left either require lots of money to get going, or are stupidly hard and require a massive development team.

    The big downside of web 2.0 - yes, more elegent, more beautiful, more accessible - but damn, more time for developers! >_<

  6. Could somebody explain why Western Union is so dogy? I always use it when sending money abroad and not using paypal/card.

    Because it's 100% untraceable. If i leave money for MR JOE BLOGGS then MR JOE BLOGGS in timbucktwo can go into a random western union branch (of which there are several thousand) and just collect your money. And thats it, there is no comeback or no way to find out where the money went, or how the hell it even got there.

    The whole concept of western union is just screwed. I remember reading an article in the paper on it once, saying that over 60% of the money moved through western union is dark or illigal.

    :rolleyes:

    It should NEVER be used. Ebay state in their rules, terms and conditions that no one is allowed to use, or ask to use western union - or all your ebay rights and terms are void (ie: your breaking their terms of service)

  7. My dad rules :P Nothing anoying about him at all ^_^

    My mum's alright I guess, I live with her so other than the usual arguments now and then nothing really anoys me.

    Edit: Actually, the only thing that does anoy me is that shes a really bad / slow driver and doesn't 100% understand gears :mellow: hehe :lol:
