... they were discussing names for Windows 8. I just assumed we do the same as for Windows 7. It got the nickname 'Weven'. So Windows 8 should be 'Weight'

The term "smoking-gun" is a reference from 19th century literature, describing a just-fired weapon as "smoking". Gun smoke is created as a result of both the chemical composition of gun power from that era, and the burning off of various gun cleaning/lubrication checmicals due to extreme heat caused by the discharge of the weapon. Powder nowadays is smokeless, and advances in cleaning solvents and oils somewhat inhibits the production of resulting smoke/vapors, thus allowing faster follow-up shots.

After a few hundred rounds you had to take a short break and let the smoke clear up before you could aim again.

Best not discussed on an open forum. Working practises here are erm, interesting.

Not so tiny, it's his 6 month birthday ( I'm off to buy a cupcake and will add half a candle as a joke)today, but for his age he's tall. He's begining to turn into a cute mini-human being now rather than an ultra-cute eating and excreting machine. It's the sweetest thing when they smile and interact. He's also threatening to crawl which is going to be a problem give how small and crowded our flat is. [edit] Must meet up if you are about. Ramadan was a killer BTW.

So I guess that means you don't blow the end of your gun after shooting then? :sigh:

No, but I do spin it before sliding it back into my holster.

Most likely, but I'm not ruling out the US.

Aye! Welcome to my world, where job satisfaction is an alien concept, unheard of in most circles.

Bless him! Their smiles are what make it worth all the effort! At his age, diaper consumption still hasn't peaked, take it from me. Hehe, Mattie is now 10mo and he doesn't crawl so much as staged rolls on to his bum, quite ingenious and lazy! :D

Name a time and place and I'm ready. Yep, Ramadan and Summer just don't mix well.

Oh so that's what people mean when they say 'Weven'. I thought it was a Windows emulation thing like Wine.
