  1. Theirs is best
  2. Yeah, I found I had less control with the WYSIWYG editor, so I went back to the text editor.
  3. He didn't use them, I had to go back and fix them, so yes bad. In fact, he deserves a good trout to the head for that one, 'cause I haven't seen it yet. Fucker.
  4. Maybe they're fire elementals. (cf. Berserk, book #24)
  5. Okay (makes a mental note of it)
  6. Someone has (had?) that as their avatar on another forum.

    DEATH TANK!

    You know, I'm not much of a gamer, but one of the few video games I've ever played is "Cybersled" in the mall. Death Tank looks kind of like that, especially with the lobbing of the shells like that, using hills to get the trajectory just right. XBox 360, huh?
  8. That's what that little lever on my chair is for. That'll take care of the neck pain, but not the eye strain. Yeah, I don't think I'd have that top row for anything but webcams (I'm thinking of getting one for my kitty, so I can watch her while I'm at work).
  9. I've kept mine in my front pocket for security reasons ever since I talked to that cop -- he said that's what he did, to thwart pickpockets. Which was like 2 decades ago. PS They don't fare much better, in terms of wear. I buy cheap-ish wallets, so the first place they deteriorate is they "shrink" (wrinkle at the corners, etc.).
  10. Yeah! [will-smith-in-Bad-Boys-II]Now that's what I'm talking about.[/will-smith-in-Bad-Boys-II] I suspect this will be the case with me as well. Pfff. PS I've gone back and forth on the home cinema thing, and that will be a separate system, probably even a separate computer. And will probably be a 50" Samsung plasma. The thing about vertical resolution is text -- Greg's setup is actually the sort of thing I'm going for eventually, but I tend to have the terminal windows and the IDE eidtor window(s) usually much bigger -- when I'm doing rapid prototype type work, I tend to get somewhat sloppy, and not everything is compartmentalized in separate files, so I like being able to increase the vertical row-count of a particular window to max screen size and hop back and forth between two or more areas with just eye movement. And I can't just rotate the screen 90 degrees, because the font-rendering is optimized for LCD layouts, where the anti-aliasing takes advantage of the way it is this way. But yeah, I've decided that 1200 isn't really that much worse than 1600, so I'm definitely going incremental. Also, it lets me buy them piecemeal, rather than all at once.
  11. It's like watching the little imaginary cartoon devil and angel on nummy's shoulders.
  12. Jesus, you must have auto-deposit. In by 6, gone by 8, and only because you didn't set your alarm earlier.
  13. salmon zucchini panang from Pilin Thai om nom nom nom nom nom nom...
  14. Probably paralleling to try to attain a certain value, is all.
  15. No-one has that kind of control. And they need to take it to 3D.
  16. No, the way you're describing it sounds like it's going too far. I mean, don't get me wrong, when I say you need to match your consumption with your exertion, the obvious way to do that is to increase your exertion -- I.E. get some exercise. And also to eat more balancedly. But 800 calories is ridiculous -- even Weight Watchers will tell you not to go overboard like that. I mean, these blind numbers like "1500 calories to maintain your weight" is ridiculous. How much exercise are you getting with that diet? And don't try and tell me it doesn't matter, 'cause it does. Someone who's sedentary and gets no exercise will have different dietary requirements than someone who walks three times a week will have different dietary requirements than Michael Phelps, who basically exercises non-stop, so his dietary requirements are fairly high.
  17. Yes...yes you did. And for that I am grateful.
  18. Ooooh...ModWright caps...
  19. Yeah, except the max vertical resolution is 1200 on anything less than 30", whereas the max vertical resolution on the high-pixel 30" one is 1600. Yes, I realize that's not much, so it's not a deal-killer, just a point of contention. Porbably won't get the ultra-high-pixel one, at this point.
  20. Yeah, never mind -- I == dolt -- the ones I recognized weren't anything special so I (incorrectly) extrapolated that the other ones were "restaurant grade" as well. Don't get me wrong, I still drink the mediocre stuff. But now that I've had the good stuff, I doubt I'll be buying any more, once it's gone.
  21. That's the way I usually buy them.
  22. I think it's mostly domestic shit that annoys him.
  23. Incorrect. If you starve your body, it automatically tries to store the calories as fat. You need to match your consumption to your exertion.
