Merry Christmas to all.

Cappedup is extremely well informed :) Good evening chaps. I don't have time for a long update, but I am well aware I've been away for a long time, with little explanation. In the past few months, I have unfortunately been too busy with work outside of Egosoft, and haven't been here at all - just a ...

I haven't read the whole thread - very little infact. I would say I pointed this all out several months ago when I raised the issue of M4 money supply. It isn't exactly a surprise, but the speed at which the events manifested themselves probably was. It is a good market to make serious money in if y...

That was below the belt.

As Phil said, the gene pool is a little cleaner today.

I'm happy with my Norwich City toilet paper...

That said, I think the Government and private sector should be much more open about their pension schemes. What the Government is doing with the Civil-Service Pension Scheme is no worse than the games many companies in the private sector are taking. I would challenge that statement. Public sector p...

Sadly, my milestone appears to have coincided with a large server outage - either that or we have finally cured malaria.

I've pretty much finished all my CPU-intensive stuff (Photomatix) anyway, so I'm bowing out of BONC again for a while (until Photoshop CS4 or the equivalent is released ).

When anyone takes a new job, there are always various considerations to take into account. Will I like it, does the boss smell, how much hopliday will I get? Etc. One question should be; how much will my pension be? A question answered which is increasingly being noticed, seeing as it is the tax pay...

All - keep the discussion on the topic please, not at individual users. The topic has plenty of merit.

Solid state drive

The sooner prices come down and they get out from just laptops to desktops, the better.

200 nhp from a 4.9 litre V8 is... extra ordinary. I've never fulyl grasped the American desire to have such big engines - I always thought it would end up bankrupting the motor industry there...

And not all deaths are the same. They may be to the person who dies but not to the people left behind. To know that the world is a large, uncaring place is one thing. To know that someone is willing to die to hurt you just because of where you were born? It is different, IMO. M To know that someone...

I can accept, even if I don't like, the fact that people are ultimately selfish and will not agree to an equal division of the worlds resources. I cannot accept that anyone with a grudge can murder thousands just to gather political capital. M Death is the same. Indifference or deliberate action. I...

I was in Boots getting a new pair of glasses when it all kicked off. On the way back to work, I stopped at Dixons and watched TV through the shop window, then went back to work and picked up a bit more there. Nasty business. And for the majority out of the blue. The odd thing is, this week more chil...

Is awesome bar possibly the worst name invented for anything in recent times? Possibly only to be outdone is if there was a run down drinking establishment in a small hut in the middle of the Australian outback called the same name.

It won't cut it - it will slightly threaten it though, in a sort of abrasive way (like a 3 week old razor).

I regularly shoot wild rabbits and eat them. Trouble is, there are not many guinea pigs wandering around next to them...

So was I.

That's rather interesting! I suppose it also has the added benefit of the guinea pigs attracting larger predators, and then you could get them too.
