Sit on my face and tell me that you love me I'll sit on your face and tell you I love you, too!

China will get their first anyhow. They actually are designing the spacecraft and have begun the programme, whereas the US just have Bush making empty promises of an out of date fleet.

] Yes I am. And I'm proud of it too. You found the link, and I took it and posted it. Think of it as a re-imagining of the original

In case you want a more personal relationship than a fake pen pal :- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll..............=37558 Gosh, it's tempting.

:Monkey nods in agreement, while stealing alt_f13's wallet:

That's what we like to call 'untrue'. It's an English nursery rhyme, and it is about mesures of liquids. We still serve spirits in Gills (or Jills in the rhyme) and the explanation was posted previously. We had a big thing with Gin at the time, and found it important our mesures were not changed (hence they are still in use today!). Where did the connection of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette come to mind? Louis isn't really similar to Jack, and Marie does not really sound like Jill. Is this something a teacher mentioned once? N.B. we do have very funny ones about the French, but as a kingdom that has a strong monarchy we didn't really mock regicide very much. If the general population had found it funny, we obviously would not still have a monarchy now.

David Lynch is a bit odd. Hence his flims are a bit odd too. Twin Peaks actually gave me weird chills watching it, it was that near to insanity and to being crazy myself. The Mulholland Drive film is quite simple Spoiler:- The main character (Diane) has arranged for someone to kill her girlfriend, and the second half of the film is her reminiscing about what led to this point before she kills herself. Because she is a ‘hollywood starlet’ the reminiscing in her head is in the style of a film. A flashback, in the style of a film in a reality, within a real film. Simply put, the film is just David Lynch mocking Hollywood and the film making industry. This also includes the people who watch the films (well, you), hence the confusion and in references to stereotypes etc. And that's about it. He's messing with your mind, run away!

What? I'm sorry, but what in the sweet name of the giant horned devil are you drivelling on about? Big history buff are we? Get all that from the bumper book of 'Ease US middle class guilt' did we? I was under the impression the US was founded on slavery and mass genocide. It was not founded on the ideology that all men are created equal, which I feel the need to point out here, they bloody well are.

I can get a date, and my boat keeps itself afloat using bilge pumps.

Dammit. Another thing I was taught at school that turns out to be hideous lies then. Alluvial silt is deposited by glaciation in valleys, who thought it would be funny to teach me that?

Yes, if you go to an old building with it's original glass (like a church) you can see the thickening at the bottom quite easily. My Grandmas lodge has glass that is only 90 years old, and it's obvious in that too. It's something that's more obvious if you wander round old buildings for time to time. My Grandmas lodge predates the creation of the United States, which is nice.

I thought the issue was that he couldn't use the IRC client due to the security issues. It was mentioned all you need is an IP and a port scanner to hack, so they may as well use the IRC client anyhow and sod the risk. Which is a bit like saying, I know where you live, therefore I can break in (past the military style defenses) so you may as well leave the door unlocked. But hey, I'm not really paying much attention.

So. Is a forum better or worse than email? I'm not sure where this thread is going anymore.

Don't apologise, it's not your fault, boycott the matrix! They lied to you, and that makes them evil! The devil take their eyes.

Arrggggggggggg, no! I not referring to 'slow motion', that has been around since the 1850's! The rapid progression to using a succession of images to capture a fast moving object was done to follow a horses stride, to see if a horses hooves ever left the ground at a gallop (Eadweard James Muybridge). The method of using a series of cameras taking simultaneous pictures and then manipulating the images so that you can travel the camera around a stationary or slow moving object, that is the technology that was in use in the wildlife films in the 1980’s. They made quite a big deal of it on the BBC, it appeared on many shows but never got picked up in the US. The work is quite extensively covered in modern photographic methods, and is taught to most art students as part of the photography and film aspect of the courses. I’m sorry if the Wachowskis have lied to you, but that’s what Hollywood tends to do! I just hate it when Hollywood surplants decades of pionering work just to sell tickets.

Hmmmm, are you talking about the oddly titled 'project sunshine'? The US did some macabre experiments using cadavers and strontium 90 in the 1950's, hence the happy name.

It first popped up around 1985, as a development of film technology. The extensive use was in wildlife films, it showed in exacting detail birds flying/fish swimming etc. It was a fashion in the UK for a couple of years to film in that style, the Wachowskis just thought nobody would remember. Just like they thought stealing 'Dark City' and renaming it 'The Matrix' with a couple of minor changes would be ok, as no-one remembers that either.

Ignore it. You will probably have to wait a couple of days before you find out anyhow; a structured interview normally takes a few days to filter out successful candidates. There are legal matters to be taken care of (equal opportunities, contracts etc) As someone who gives interviews from time to time, I don’t think walking into a room and announcing your going for another interview later is a good idea. Neither the interviewer nor the company cares, it’s assumed that a candidate will have more than one interview in the pipeline. Just pick the one with the most pleasant working conditions, or the people who look like you get on with the most. If you like the people, they will probably like you too, which helps your career prospects!

You know the French had a resistance when Germany invaded? If only they had thought be more harsh when invading countries and flaunting international law. Not that the UK is any better, following Bush around like a little puppy. That's the reason why the UK and US are downplaying it; they are in an intractable position. In this situation, every act they make against the perpetrators of the attacks is an act of terrorism against the Iraq civilians. They made themselves viable targets by crossing the border into Iraq. The only attacks that are not justified are the attacks against the UN and the Red Cross, who are not involved in the conflict. I have friends out in Iraq right now, getting put into situations where they are likely to be attacked by the religious factions, ex-military, or the nationals who are resisting the occupation. They can quite plainly see this is on the verge of another Somalia/Vietnam, because not everyone loves the Americans and the Americans just never seem to understand that until it’s far to late. If you can find an example of this sort of occupation turning out ok, you just let me know. History teaches us that people will resist, despite what the regime was like before. The Americans can’t just whop out guns and start shooting, on the off chance that it all turns out ok.

There is no war, there is a aggressive terrorist force in Iraq that is being attacked. Guess what, the terrorist's are from the US and UK. You can't cry about it because a country doesn’t appreciate being aggressively occupied.

No laughing, I'm sure that YT just found the flaw in the system. Run away!

Mmmmm, random use of silver nitrate around liquids intended for ingestion. Chewy lawsuit fun.
