  1. I'm guessing he means the snow chains on the front wheels of a rear wheel drive car.
  2. When I try to ctrl-shift cursor movement, such as highlighting a word I've typed, the forum - JUST this forum - doesn't move the cursor. It's been this way for weeks but not forever. It's actually quite frustrating. Moon - owt you can do?
  3. You're looking for correlation when you have no idea what noise looks like; therefore any results you get are invalid. You may as well find patterns in telephone boxe...I've given too much away. << >> Nothing to see here...
  4. This is probably the most famous one:
  5. A Scimitar poses a question to your opponent - do I fire at it with my precious AT assets or infantry (recon by bang), thereby compromising my position or do I let them go past to get a go at the real armour threats which means they will be able to spot my AT assets easier when I do open fire.
  6. CMBB runs on Vista if you d/l the patch - it's $5 http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=51&Itemid=90
  7. Thanks for that - a quick query, what unit size (shift-C) did you film it on?
  8. I worked on a tall ship in Israel with an Aussie guy who'd worked on the sheep stations. He said the nearest boozer was about 100km away. I said, "Damn, and I bet you went every week didn't you?" he said "We went every night. Twenty of us packed in the back of a truck with whoever was least pissed driving." You've got to admire the dedication.
  9. Good program. Auntie have been doing loads of good documentaries recently.
  10. I wouldn't say there's any strobing. You can see the transition from one wing-beat to another.
  11. Moths on long exposure. Looks great though doesn't it?
  12. Yep, do as MSBoxer said and create yourself an admin account and add them as restricted users.
  13. I'll send a £10 check to anyone who gets it right*. *I won't.
  14. Get this fella, it's free and good: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ Also, stop using Internet Explorer, get one of these: http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/ http://www.google.com/chrome http://www.opera.com/download/ TBH there's not a lot to choose between them now, the last one, Opera, is probably safest as it's the least used and so less targeted.
  15. Surely this shouldn't be allowed. Here.
  16. The only time I've heard of a tank actually "flipped" was after heavy bombing in Normandy. Pretty hard to flip something heavier than you.
  17. http://triggerpit.com/2010/11/22/incredible-pics-nasa-astronaut-wheelock/ Beautiful.
  18. AFAICT policeman in this context means "universally loathed", so maybe everyone but the Chinese? {edit} I solved it! http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/11/13/weekinreview/deficits-graphic.html?choices=ywlj15qt Much like BigDuke6 really, except a bit kinder on the military.
  19. I was going to buy a book on homoeopathy. In the end I just stuck an empty notepad by one instead.
