Here's a little taster for what I'm working on.

Of course, it isn't finished, and the end result will probably bear no resemblance whatsoever to this, but I thought that it was still worth showing you all. :)

Enjoy. :)

Nah, if you REALLY wanted to confuse your opponent, you should play the chipmunks theme tune. Either that, or "the hamster dance".
No, wait... The ultimate in confusion would be "do you have a waffle," which is a flash movie available on this site.

On a more serious note, the type of music all depends on the atmosphere you intend to create when you enter the ring. It's the difference between Mars: The planets and The adams family

I think he just came in to vent, which is quite alright, but I'm gonna give some input due to the fairly likely chances of me being completely wrong on that.

I think you might have handled this badly, and that's what she's more angry about. When she suggested cancelling the night out, what exactly did you say in return? If you said anything about all the money, planning, and effort that you put into it, you've gone the wrong way. This would make it sound as if you're less interested in making her happy, and more interested in showing off your wealth. Altogether, making you appear selfish. If you raised your voice at any point, you've gone about it the wrong way. This just makes you look like a whiner/moaner/angry git... And none of those are desirable traits.
You should have told her that you want to do something special for her, and that you want to show her how much it means to you to have such a good friend for such a long time.

However, since the situation has already escalated, I suggest the age-old solution of: apologise, call yourself an idiot, and do whatever she wanted to do for the evening. This will make her happy, and preserve what's left of your friendship.

Hell no!
He doesn't let anyone touch his "Sasha".
I think he spends too much time with that damned thing. He'd marry it if he could.

You took the words right out of my mouth, BlackPlastic!

Now, MePatch, since you're so low as to lie about such a thing, you make me sick.
And if you're not lying, you still make me sick, because of what you did to this poor person.

Either way, you make me sick, and I hope you get what's coming to you.

To prevent this happening again...

Any time you are sent an attachment, ask what it is. A virus will be unable to answer that question. A human will.

Technically, this does not make him gay.

But you should get some good insult-milage by continuously telling him that he's a poof.

My compy recently imploded.
I lost my WIP.

I'll start work again soon. :(

Is it giving you a driver name that is causing this error *SOMETHING*.sys? Are you able to boot into Safe Mode? Is this happening all the time when you try and boot into Windows? Is this all the information being given?

To me, it sounds like some sort of hardware corruption, probably RAM or your HD. Try a Linux LiveCD Knoppix or Ubuntu are adequate choices (I recommend Knoppix). In the case that blue screen is being caused by imminent hard drive failure, I would suggest you run this Live CD now and back up what you can.

Yes, that's all the information that's given, and it doesn't give any specific details regarding what exactly is causing the error.
A friend of mine has suggested trying to rescue files from this hard disk using something called a hard disk caddy. Is this a good idea? Or is he just speaking in farts?

I guess it's time that I started looking at a new computer. This one seems to be on its last legs.

With thanks for your continuing help,
Ynek.

I wonder if anyone can help me.
When I start up my computer, I get the following error message:

If this screen appears again, follow these steps: Disable or uninstall any anti-virus, disk defragmentation or backup utilities. Check your hard drive configuration and check for any updated drivers.

Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this problem?

I would have taken the time to make a more courteous and polite message, but I have a parent breathing over my shoulder right now, asking what the hell I'm doing with their laptop. So I should really be going.

Thanking you all in advance,
Ynek.

Ah, thank you very much, BlueHippo!

I'll go submit my little error screen into that thread right now. Feel free to delete this topic, as I now realise that this was not the place to be dropping my computer-related troubles.

To the computer hospital!!!

When I went to open up my computer today, it displayed the following message on an ominous blue screen:

There are no options or anything available on the screen... And I don't know how to do any of the things that it's asking of me unless it lets me get into Windows... Which it seems reluctant to do.

I know that asking here is kinda a long-shot, but does anyone here know enough about computers to help me out here?

thanking you all in advance,
Ynek.

P.S. Before anyone asks how I got here, I'm using a borrowed laptop to ask this...

By the time I was 18, I had enough home-made porn to start my own site. One legal idiosyncracy is that I was allowed to record my own porn, but not legally allowed to watch it. Daft law. I ignored it, for the most part.

Twice as perverted and barely legal...
I think it's actually illegal in the UK... Bookshops here have been shut down for selling that shit. And personally, I think it should all be made illegal.

As for the offenders themselves, I vote in favour of physical dissection to discover the root problem that causes their wayward lusts.

That is possibly the best description of the problem that I have ever heard. Kudos on that.

My question is: Isn't there some way for us to solve this problem with meaningless violence and orgies?

What the hell is wrong with you? I thought that this was the internet....

Personally, I never get "falling" dreams, but all too often, I trip over something in a dream, and end up kicking out my RL arms and legs to catch my fall.

It sucks, but you just go back to sleep.

Rule 4:

I was under the impression that it took the exact same amount of energy to break a bond as is given out when a bond forms. I thought that was the entire principle behind bond enthalpy, one of the cornerstones of chemical thermodynamics.

I was always taught that the reason why it takes more energy to break the bonds than it does to make them is due to inefficiencies in the technology. For example, some of the energy given out by the reaction will be used to heat the container that the chemical is being stored in, some will escape to heat the atmosphere, etc.

I was always under the impression that the basic premise of thermodynamics was that energy could not be created from nothingness, (which is why perpetual motion cannot exist) and similarly, energy cannot be destroyed.

So therefore, if I take water, and break the two O-H bonds at an expense of 432 kilojoules per mole, (One bond = 366kj/mol, and as there are two bonds in H2O, we need to double this number,) the total energy given out when I ignite that oxygen and hydrogen mixture will be 432 kilojoules for every mole of water that I electrolysed in the first place.

If, as you appear to be suggesting, the breaking of the O-H bonds takes more energy than it gives out when that bond forms, then we would see a net loss of energy, but to where? Unless you are referring to problems with the technology (I.E. the imperfect insulation of the reaction) then the energy has, in essence, been destroyed, which is against the fundamental principle of thermodynamics that energy cannot be destroyed or created.

I'm not having a go at you or anything. I'm just interested as to why you think that this is the case. I was given a very dumbed-down version of physics as part of my uni course (to fill up my timetable), and my knowledge is limited to only the core fundamentals.

Hey, if you're determined to paint THAT kind of face on your easter egg, you should look at it from this perspective:

When he fucks up, it'll reflect badly on all of them, and no more of them will be elected. Ever.

Just look at Margaret Thatcher. She was made leader of the Tory party shortly after all the feminine rights campaigns in Britain, purely as a tactical move to make feminists vote Tory.
Unsurprisingly, she won, and went on to make some of the biggest political mistakes in history, including the complete destruction of the British Labour trade (closing of the coalmines, shipyards, steelmills etc,) privatisation of public transport, television and telephone networks...

All that came back to haunt her. Soon after, she was replaced by John Major, because nobody liked Maggie anymore, and she was going a bit batty.

Long story short, no political party in Britain has ever tried to put a woman in as their representative since Thatcher. I'm not sexist or racist, but that's just the way that things seem to go... The populace of the country just seem to consider "the first XXX president/primeminister" (where XXX is woman, homosexual, midget, negro, muslim, amputee) as a representative for all of whatever XXX represents. It's an unfortunate side-effect of the media referring to that individual by their race/gender/whatever instead of their policies.

Let's face it, the phrase: "First black president" was shoved down all your throats during Obama's campaign, and even now after he's won. Unfortunately, people now expect him to set a good first-impression as to how good "black presidents" can be.

But, on a completely unrelated note, Thank fuck Obama won. He was the lesser of two evils.
McCain, and that idiot Palin were just plain dangerous.

I'm planning on a portrait poster (I.E, a poster which is taller than it is wide) with roughly the following image:
A picture of a single soldier, looking like he's just come through a rather tough fight, but is still ready for more, holding aloft a flag or banner whilst readying himself for his last stand. For the background, I'm thinking either ranks and ranks of enemies, or something simpler, but more iconic, such as a national emblem or symbol.

I'll probably go with a caption such as "Defiant to the end." Or "Go out fighting!"

After reading through a few topics on the NG BBS, I realised that people seem to split the NG community into two groups - "The Regulars" and "The N00bs".

Then I started to wonder: "How exactly do you define the difference between a regular and a N00b?" Do you base it on NG-level, post count, grammar and spelling, general attitude?
