I never understood these. How do they hope to gain support? Yes, it gets your attention, but everyone ends up fucking despising you and would never get behind your argument.

Personally, I support that idea. It's not like there's no way arround that kind of thing, and it's been pretty well advertised and warned about via the Highways Agency.

I think we've about his the apex for everyone rioting over the fuel. A week or so back we had the truckers line the motorways up to London protesting the hikes.Today, bikers. Hell, I think we're all out of fringe groups! After all, we'd have to go for extreme groups, like, I dunno, fishermen. Or Indian Communists...

You know what's ironic?

Now they have to buy new fuel because they used up all on this protest.

Naa. They'd use less fuel for driving economically. It'd be less expensive than if they drove on the motorway at the normal speed...

They use more fuel than NOT driving. ;)

but that's far too inconvenient.

Any type of protest is a good protest, hell, look at America.

Yes, i have watched Michael Moore's 'Sicko'.

Zune

One of my friends has a zune, he told me to get one so we could share music. I said "I don't want a zune, good luck finding someone else who has one". He got mad. It was funny.

I actually really liked my Zune, I don't hate it. It did a lot of things right before iPhone did and the large screen made it good for watching movies. The Zune music service wasn't my cup of tea but it was a durable little music player that could take a beating... the outside was made of this soft plastic that could take drops easily. Plus it has FM tuning and wifi-syncing, which I need to see in the new Apple stuff.

Did anybody hear about that story about a year or so back, some parents bought a zune for their child and the package appeared like it had been opened, but they didn't bother checking or anything. W/e right? Well they gave it to the little girl, she turns it on.... and its 100% fully loaded with GAY PORN!!! More specifically ""a homosexual orgy they had videotaped for an hour and 44 minutes."

"Besides the porn, she notes there was no charging cord in the box. The store manager , however, "blamed it on Microsoft." " -- copied from some site

lol, buttsex

RE: Zune
i had a Zune and it was definitely one of the better DMP i've tried. the ipods circle dealio just doesn't appeal to me, plus i hate itunes. i hate the Zune software just about as much, but at least the Zune doesn't have you watching movies on a 2.5" screen.

the ability to personalize things is a biggy for me, and the Zune is pretty much all about that. i love how i can name my Zune so other people can see it, and set backgrounds. it's full of wee!

my experience is with the old Zunes, too; the ones without squircle pads. adding touch capability just enhances the experience even more (that's what she said).

so yeah. i like Zunes. i hate ipods, although if the ipod touch were to have a hard-drive in it, i'd probably get it :P it's the whole customization thing that really gets me. a friend of mine (Ben-the-Jew) knows how to "jailbreak" them, so i'd probably do that.

since my current Zune (also obtained from Mr. Ben) has a slightly, um, fried motherboard, it's a bit useless. ): i have a Creative Zen Touch, though. i've had that thing for years, and talk about durable! i've dropped it from about 3-5 feet up onto hard tile on accident and it still works. i dropped it in the toilet on accident once, and the only thing it messed up was the previous song button. CAN YOUR STUPID IPOD SURVIVE THAT SHIT?

Sarcastic, Americans are controlled by their government however countries like Britain control their government, our prime minister is shit scared of doing things wrong, and if he did do something majorly wrong, there would be a revolution.

Um if our president did something majorly wrong there would be a revolution or impeachment too. The problem right now is that Bush technically didn't do anything illegal, so there would be no basis to impeach him, even though most of us are unhappy with what he's been doing. But there's these things called "limited terms" and elections that keep him in check. If he does something wrong enough, he doesn't get reelected, or in the case of the end of the term limit, ruins the chances for his friends from his party.

i don't mean to break this lovely political banter, but..

i finally figured out the displacementmap filter! o:

check it, yo. just move your mouse around.
wee, i love this kind of stuff :D

Re Beta testing

Well as it always goes when it comes to me making a game, I underestimated how much work I had left. Anyway, to all who were interested in testing the game out for me, check your inbox, I sent a message with a link to the test file online. Keep these to yourselves please and be sure to reply to the questions I asked in the message, thanks a ton for taking the time to play.

You don't have free education (college) or free healthcare, if your poor then you have a much less chance to actually get anywhere in life. Less intelligent people will believe any crap their president tell them.

I hate how people bitch about CCTV in PUBLIC PLACES. "Oh my god! They can see me when I'm in the streets!". They could stand there and see you if they wanted to.

CCTV is there for people's protection, there's nothing 1984 about it, countless crimes have been solved because the police can track people's movements and find them. Now if they put them in our homes, that WOULD be like 1984, but that will never happen.

Fuel prices

I don't get why people are so worked up about fuel prices and not food prices. I mean, surely something that you actually need in order to stay alive should take priority.

Blah.

RE: Fuel Prices
fuel is a bigger deal because everyone is clashing on the issue of phasing out fossil fuels. it's a big deal, so buying gas is big deal, which is made worse by the fact that it's gotten extremely expensive in such a short period of time.

we have basically limitless amounts of food, and its prices, as far as i know, haven't risen quite as high as gas' price has.

also, *cough*.

I was gonna comment on that before but the link was down. I suppose you host it on your personal computer.

Anyway, I'm not impressed until the text says 'GuyWithHisComp'

Fuel Prices
Because only people in Africa, South America and South/East Asia are dying because of the high food prices. Fuel prices affect us directly, food prices not so much.

NG Side Banners

I really hate those banners you get on the side of your screen! They're ugly and sometimes they're over a Flash viewing-window, making it hard to click the close button.

I really hoped they went away after the Tank Awards and apperently they didn't.

What do you think of these banners and how long do you think they'll be on here?
