Of the base jumpers I know a disproportionate number do seem to be programmers and strangely perhaps there are quite a few accountants too. Maybe there's some kind of homoeostasis effect where people who lead really boring lives 9 to 5 need to redress the balance.

I'm sorry, I posted this 3 years ago and can't remember the solution. There used to be a lot of information about WSODs on the web. I think I might have just recreated the controls I was having issues with and copied and pasted the important code back in from the original files.

So have they won the war? St Bill[^]

Do I misunderstand the meaning of the word liberal? It seems to me that calling someone a liberal extremist is akin to calling some a motivated apathist.

A= Every word in a scouse sentence?

It does seem that a new branch of evangelical atheists have sprung into existence in the last few years. I ceased to believe in god 20 years ago but don't attempt to "convert" anyone who believes in a faith. I think a lot of non-believers get so fed up with people telling them that they should let christ into their lives etc that the reaction is to turn the thing into a conflict. Far easier to step away from the fight in my opinion.

I'm sure Godwin's law applies when you compare people to the Nazis. In DDs case he was merely pointing out that the pope WAS a Nazi (although I believe joining the Hitler youth was a legal requirement at the time). No matter though, we're talking about a guy who believes that paedophilia is acceptable but homosexuality is a sin.

I was of the belief that milk was ok for most vegetarians! However chocolate containing milk should be reserved for children leaving the real stuff for adults.

she probably just signed you up for the extension anyway!

so you've got 24 cores in one box. Sweet!

The AK 47 is pretty much an Open source design manufactured with subtle variations by a number of countries. The improvements from each manufacturer feed back into the design improving the quality and the volumes produced keep the costs down.

There's exercising free speech and there's behaving like a twat. I have a right to do many things but it doesn't mean that I have to do them without having sensitivity to others' feelings.

Yep, that's a bad day allright!

I think the pictures might need a spot of fixing up!

just thinking of an example of being far away where you can't get closer. I guess birds on the other side of a river. People in a hot air balloon etc would be just as hard to get closer to.

I'll remember to tell the marshals that the next time I'm trying to take a photo at a cricket match.

What if you want to zoom in on a portion of the image?

I think it said: "Government department worried about budget reductions. Attempts to create wave of fear to ensure future government pork" I may have misread though

http://www.royalmint.com/corporate/policies/legal_tender_guidelines.aspx[^] Legal Tender Guidelines Legal tender has a very narrow and technical meaning in the settlement of debts. It means that a debtor cannot successfully be sued for non-payment if he pays into court in legal tender. It does not mean that any ordinary transaction has to take place in legal tender or only within the amount denominated by the legislation. Both parties are free to agree to accept any form of payment whether legal tender or otherwise according to their wishes. In order to comply with the very strict rules governing an actual legal tender it is necessary, for example, actually to offer the exact amount due because no change can be demanded. The amounts for legal tender are stated below. BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES: In England and Wales the £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes are legal tender for payment of any amount. However, they are not legal tender in Scotland and Northern Ireland. COINS: Coins are legal tender throughout the United Kingdom for the following amount: £5 (Crown) - for any amount £2 - for any amount £1 - for any amount 50p - for any amount not exceeding £10 25p (Crown) - for any amount not exceeding £10 20p - for any amount not exceeding £10 10p - for any amount not exceeding £5 5p - for any amount not exceeding £5 2p - for any amount not exceeding 20p 1p - for any amount not exceeding 20p
