If you are in a pressurised cabin, it would be normal. If you were outside of a cabin, probably you would hear your last scream before you died. The coccon that the cabin provides means that vibrations travel just the same as they would on ground.

What, from the side of your head in an feathery endangered way? I thought it through, the less people playing the more pausable regaining the high score will be. Now all have have to do is drain my willingness to do other stuff, and get back on the arcade! Perhaps. I'm a bit ill you know. feel a bit woozy.

With a cheery wink and a quick smile. Boom boom. You've got flies in your eyes, that's what's wrong with you.

So, I attack your ports when I see you in the chat room eh? Interesting. J/K there will be a way to set access for the IRC in your options. I like the new easytoaccess button btw.

Well, I average 2.33 posts per day and I'm quite an active poster. Most people take months to get up to 50, unless they have an adjenda to get across in some crazy fashion. Not that I really know much about forum management, but it appears to be a method of encouraging spammyness for gaming reward. Mind you, I'm still a bit bitter about losing tetris high score.

I probably would too, if I lived in the county where bears/tigers/ninja monkeys prowled. But the differentiation you have to make is what is the right rule, not how many exceptions to the rule can you force. Either you think everyone has the right to arms or you think that not everyone does. By and large, rampaging bears do not beset Washington and yet they still carry arms (not the bears, the people). The constitutional amendment was to protect from rampaging Englishmen, pointing out that in certain obscure situations a gun may be useful does not make it right. It’s like Chief Wiggum using a magnum to change the TV channel in the Simpson’s.

You know, a badger once got into my mothers house. Made a bit of a mess and left again. True story. Used the catflap.

Yes, it put a new light on Hawking for myself. I never really thought that he was that driven to succeed. He’s a plucky fella. Well written and directed, it wasn't a rosy image of Hawkings past. It's nice to see quality tv once in a while.

Interesting link, brings it all home a bit.

In need of assistant....for experiment...concerning light speed travel
atinymonkey replied to a topic in The Lounge
Hi there, who are you? And for 10 bonus point's, the experiment would be? Does it involve ninjas? -
So, nobody else has the opinion that his stories are kind of linear? Scientists perform experiment > dubious outsider appears and is all clever and foreboding > something goes wrong > panic > outsider survives mayhem. Not that I don't think the guys smart, he's just a little unoriginal. Unlike, say, Uberto Eco’s crazy overeducated head.

Funny place that, the only country to really have managed communism for a sustained period without upset. Then Tito dies, they go turn capitalist and kablooey. I really must put some effort into banning organised religion; by and large bloodthirsty bigots at heart (bless ‘em).

'Timeline'. Jesus.

Forerunner to the next shuttlecraft, replacing the fleet of rockets with scramjet base jets with retrothruster for high altitude gain. If the scramjet is working, they just strap one onto a space worthy plane and staple a rocket to the other side. Very Dan Dare.

Whut? I remember in the original FAQ linkage was ruled out unless a big ol' wad of cash was offered. It's even got the superannoying jiggly 'You've won a prize' banner on rotation.

X-rays cause cancer?!
atinymonkey replied to -Demosthenes-'s topic in Anatomy, Physiology and Neuroscience
I've had my feet x-rayed in one of those machines. Gets the whole picture as it were, and so long as you have stopped growing the x-ray gives an accurate picture for decades. If you do a lot of sports, it's worth the X-ray risk as it's weighed against damage you could do to your feet with the wrong type of shoe. Wasn't in a shoe shop tho. -
According to recent thinking, we are statistically most likely to be the first galaxy to be a candidate for the development of intelligent life. Bear in mind that everything outlying from this point in the universe is younger than our own galaxy only the galaxies more internal would be candidates for development, and the chance of one of those other solar systems managing development of life is very very slim. If there are any other galaxies where life is going to develop, it will probably happen a lot later on. So, if there are UFO's flying around anywhere in the future they may well be populated with guys from earth. If you want to bring statistics into it all, anyhow.

Yes. Little robot, flamable paint and large fuse boxes: equals a need for a new IT block. Lesson learnt.

Yup, the wasted weeks are really paying off now

Electronic Arts is producing a revamped Goldeneye game for the PC (Goldeneye 2 or Goldeneye Never Dies) and Xbox. http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/action/jamesbond007goldeneye2/news_6090269.html http://xbox.ign.com/articles/494/494785p1.html?fromint=1 Yay!

Well, the moon landings happened yes. However it's plausible that some of the photography was faked, in case of some failure in the negatives on the moon or complete loss of the mission. There had to be definite proof of the landing and it’s been suggested that NASA prearranged some of the photography as a safety measure, leading to all the conspiracy theories. Honestly, if you had just spent billions of taxpayer’s dollars you’d make sure you had something to show for it!

Sorry, been spending too much time in the arcade. Really have to focus before posting. While the legacy of Martin Luther King is still in living memory, and the KKK and it's ilk, you will find that ethnic minorities my feel safer to keep within there own communities. The basis for people to group together with other people of similar backgrounds is not bigotry or racism, as the article suggests. Nether is quoting an example of an over the top PC response grounds for saying we should ignore racism. While I agree the article does make a valid point about the odd fashion in America for African Americans to behave in a way that anywhere else would be judged as racist, that is a fair situation for them to use given the history of mistreatment in the US. People like Malcolm X were quite clear about the plans for equality, they were not happy with the white society to simply say "sorry" and let it go at that. It doesn't quite redress the balance. This peculiar situation is just going to have to run it's course. It's much like a shared house, where one person forgets to buy the milk and has to apologise more than once and perhaps buy three rounds of milk to make up for it. Only instead of forgetting to buy milk, the pilgrims slaughtered the native Americans and enslaved hundreds of thousands of African Americans. As I see it, and I am fairly remote from this, is what the African Americans are doing is not racism but exorcising a legacy of hate.

The Enlightenment Test: Are You A Sheep Or Wolf?
atinymonkey replied to Wolfgang Mozart's topic in The Lounge
Well, if you make yes next to all of the questions you get that score. It's not a vey taxing quiz if the correct answer is always 'yes, your right'.
