  1. That was my little hypothetical that I comically inserted into the discussion. It was a silly way of saying "strongest possible acid (even if it can't exist)".
  2. I think it's a very good idea. I will help out wherever I can, but I'll not be that useful until AW is ready

    Guns

    I cba reading up but I'm pretty sure YT said his guns were registered and legal.
  4. It's enjoyable, although Salinger probably couldn't believe his rotten luck when he realised joe public loved it as I'm fairly sure it's meant to be a scathing commentary on "the way people are". I'm going to re-read it soon as I'm sure it has some fairly complex subtexts, despite the deceptively simple approach to the story.
  5. That's right it doesn't; it has a sort of horse-shoe-shaped, loopy orbit. It's a captured asteroid really, but many fondly regard it as a moon since it's more or less permanently trapped now.
  6. Ooops, so sorry I forgot. I can't find the script I used before. I got it from one of these: http://javascript.internet.com/ http://www.jmwebdesigns.com/freestuff/scripts/

    How does it not still apply? [edit] Oic. We're back at deciding where to draw the line in the sand.

    Burglars don't usually give you stuff. Murderers sometimes do, but they still have to pay for it.

    Guns

    Thinking about it, YT does have a good point in that there's little incentive (other than it being illegal of course) to hand in weapons. The .gov could exchange the weapon for the same value in Debenham's vouchers or something. Or a council tax rebate.

    Guns

    Where the "if" evaluates to true, YT kept guns despite them being illegal because he "wants to". That would be putting his property in danger of confiscation, his home in danger of being raided, and his person in danger of receiving harm. For no good reason. Now, I can see how he'd be miffed at the prospect of losing a lot of money if he handed in his weapons on an amnesty day, but that's immaterial. The fact is that LuTze's labelling of the above behaviour as "moronic" is his generic opinion of people who keep illegal weapons and has nothing to do with respecting mods on a forum. [edit] this is like a practical example of where the law falls short of pleasing everyone
  11. Let's hope so... livers on demand would make a huge difference.

    I think he means "people who own firearms that are illegal in the UK, illegally, in the UK."

    Or indeed, the fact that you responded to a hypothetical and not an instance of known fact. Minelaying can be as bad as trolling.
  14. It doesn't matter if it's due to politics, diminishing returns or space goats from Titan. It's still going to be retired. We should be more concerned now with what's going to replace it.
  15. You've kind of missed the boat on the whole "save Hubble" thing. After protests, NASA reviewed the situation and finally determined it had to be retired. Oh well. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3437309.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3444853.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3474891.stm

    I couldn't have a shower because SOMEONE had washing in.

    Server Speed

    I didn't mean that it would. I meant if the server is being slow, you should remove any overhead from the database so that the only avoidable delays are due to the server itself. That's what I meant by "wringing out every spare drop".

    Server Speed

    It's unlikely any customer on that server knows which other sites are on it, unless they themselves have multiple sites there. Or if they own the server ofc.

    How much does a dedicated box cost over there?
