Yeah, they are a really cool idea, even if they weigh a ton and you feel like a sixteenth century knight wearing them.

Considering any participant as the enemy seems quiet fair to me, they belong to a criminal organization after all. So you're saying it's ok to be a bigot as long as you're passionate about the subject matter? How does that make you much different than them? They kill because someone's a black, and you're willing to kill because they are KKK members (regardless of whether or not these members killed someone). That's not how America works. We have a thing called freedom of religion -- of all religions -- even if we think they are stupid. You should be happy, anybody hasn't his own fan-club Hmm... good point. I never thought of it that way. :) Jeremy Falcon

Not exactly...I just usually hover over the person responsible and drop decreasingly subtle hints about the level of testing they're doing before checking anything into the database. If they then hurredly check in code without adding a comment about what it is, I'll wind them up about that too. ;) Seriously though, there are occasions when just about all of us does this through one minor oversight or another, so I try not to take it too seriously. If there is a real problem with understanding however, I'll usually try to explain alternative ways of working which would reduce the risk of the problm recurring.

Personally I tend to agree with your views, I would rather fight the ass who would threaten my wife, but I can respect my friends values even if I don't agree with them. Jeremy Falcon wrote: Agreed, but my point was if we do nothing, then our follow citizens could end up dying over it. So, if even I didn't fully agree with Iraq, I'd still fight for our country, our home, and its inhabitants. I agree that Iraq is a place we need to be and something we need to do. Saddam Hussein needed to have been removed long ago, and its to bad we hadn't done it before now. If I wasn't in my 40's I would be more than happy willing to go to Iraq, unfortunately age and my situation prevent it.

Huh! :) I just read myself back. That definately sounded odd :)

I think that will cause the number of church members who sleep through the service to shoot up. :snore: "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

Depends who makes the call and how many times and for how long they can delay the election. And because of that I don't think elections in any country should be delayable because decision makers can be corrupted. Mugabe in Zimbabwe delays elections all the time to hit favourable periods and miss unfavourable ones. Also in particular reference to the States; going on the intelligence agencies that would be advising this delay-decision I wouldn't have much faith.

Now that's worthy of a 5!

If I had a 300D I would try the crack, it enables some useful features. I would have insurance on my camera anyway so the warrant is not so critical. Saying that I have to defend the 10D from the droves of nutters claiming the crack makes the 300D as good as the 10D. Obviously I have a vested interest but the fact of the matter is the crack does not enable some very useful features of the 10D, for instance the rear-wheel which until you have actually tried to do without you don't realise is so critical. There are other features it does not enable which I can no longer live without. Let's see a firmware update add a rear-wheel ;) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Ian Darling wrote: "and our loonies usually end up doing things like Monty Python."
