I forget it now, he had it plastered over his youtube page. A girls name beginning with C iirc. Catherine or something.

Warning flags should have gone up when people found out he named his gun.

Quote from Thrik

Good job guns are relatively difficult to come by in the UK, especially for kids.

Not really, especially in London.

Two things:A game where realism is of the utmost importance amirite lulz?!

Obviously its not a realistic game, but its got objects based on real things so they should at least be vaguely feasible?

Then again I like cars and mechanics so stuff like that screams out at me. Sure you wont see them 95% of the time but I'm just a stickler for doing things proper.

Looks ace.

Minor nitpick:

Tyre tread is going the wrong way, if it hit water it would force all the water into the tyre, rather than out of it.

Edit: Well on the front view it is...the rear view is right...

though I am a bit concerned about his anti-american sentiment that seems to show through.

Thats the average British view of America :wink:

I had it on AF to get the first wheel as we drove alongside and kept the speed roughly the same, switched to MF and let the VR lens take care of all the shudder.

The rest of the settings such as iso/aperture/exposure were all auto by the camera and I used the burst (3fps) to get it, all 3 were pretty much identical though.

The VR is the lens makes it really easy, it moves a hell of a lot to keep it central.

Feel free to spend £450 on a 8800 Ultra

Quote from Thrik

It's not a £100 difference. You must have gotten the US exchange rate messed up or something.The minimum you can realistically get the GT for is roughly £170 in the UK and $240 in the US, while the GTS is £180 and $260.

512mb 8800GT's:

Between £170-£200

640mb 8800GTS':

Between £228-£270

The 320mb GTS you can get for £180, but thats not what Nexus bought.

Aside from the 512mb 8800GT is ~£100 less than the 640mb 8800GTS and gets pretty much the same performance if not better.

Shouldve got the 8800GT.

nikon D40 and tele lens? D40 haven't got a motor inside body so you have to use AF-S?

Correct.

If I want auto-focus I can only use AF-S lens' which there are a plentiful amount of now, can use AF lens' but have to manually focus them.

Was good, could only play on medium at a decent framerate though.

E6750, 2Gb DDR2 and a 7900GS.

Bagged myself the new(ish) Nikon AF-S 55-200 lens with vibration reduction for the nice sum of £150 new.

Random selection with the new lens.

Comparing male circumcision to female circumcision is ridiculous.

With a guy he loses a bit of sensitivity which doesnt really effect anything in the long run and you never know might be more beneficial allowing you to go longer. I read somewhere the average climax time for guys is 3-5 minutes and for females more like 10-15 minutes.

Female circumcision however is truly barbaric, at "best" removing the clitoris, at worst removing everything and sewing her up so she has a hole as bag as a matchstick head to pee out of. I don't think its on the same level as male circumcision somehow....

As for the health benefits etc, I hate using wikipedia as my main source but does anyone have any links to these studies that show it has no health/hygeine benefits etc as wikipedia sits in the middle, but has more pros than cons.

Raikonnen is possibly the dullest man in the world.

Would have preferred Hamilton to win it but that was asking too much, Alonso should just go back to Renault and start owning again.

None work for me either.

Quote from DUFFY

as an owner of an iphone and a friend of someone with an ipod touchdo yourself a favor and get the iphone. the only phone that remotely comes near the iphone is the blackberry in terms of functionality and options

lulz.

This would be valuable advice if the year was 2002. The only thing the iPhone has over other phones would be the touchscreen which is:

a) Nothing new

b) Not well implemented, I like not looking at the screen whenever I want to use my phone.

Edit: Actually, seeing as the US is quite far behind Europe in terms of mobile phones I suppose it might be a new thing to them but I'm pretty sure when the iPhone hits here it will not be pleasant for apple.
