I'm fairly indifferent myself however there's no denying that they are inconvenient, uncomfortable, reduce vision and make head movement for all round vision more difficult. T
"uncomfortable and reduce vision"? WTF are you wearing? (I trust that it's not because your eyes placed somewhere strange
You haven't lived in Melbourne, have you?
"Four Seasons in One Day" country? No. (I shudder to think about riding near tram lines!) I have lived on the east coast though. Frankly, I think cycle helmets are essential to save you being attacked by the Australian magpies!
You don't know what you're writing about.
Plenty of European cyclists use the road for some or all of their journeys, yet helmets are not mandatory (except for children, in some countries).
Australia has mandatory helmets, and very low levels of cycling to go with it.
Could that be more due to the relative costs of fuel in Europe and Australia, the slightly increased relative distances and perhaps that car parking is probably easier? (On the other hand, Australian weather is probably far better, so would offset that somewhat)
"car's part of the road" ???
This is a mistake. Where does it say the road belongs to cars?
It seems to be etched into the brains of some of the car and, worse, truck drivers around here. One on-coming driver even thought it'd be amusing to veer over to my side of the road to give me a surprise. nice.
For those of you unfamiliar with Shakesphere:
And for ACs unfamiliar with the spelling of the Bard's name, it should have "ea" where you put "he".
Try spelling it as "Shakespeare", next time.
"Shakesphere", might have been his nickname after moving to "the globe".
True that. Nothing more stylish than waiting for your C64 to spool the tape...
Speaking of the devil, I saw this on the BBC re the C64 turning 30.
The video shows the tape failing to load
"I will beat you with this... herring."
Did that sound menacing?
Depends.. Pacific or Araucanian herring?
What? Yes, the initial tweet was bullshit. But you know what? An athlete earns money by people caring about them, positively or negatively. And then this clown, with a HUGE audience. calls the 17 year old jerk an "idiot"?
FYI, because I strongly doubt you follow UK sport, the "athlete" in question is also a teenager and, to my knowledge, has never worked in a circus. Frankly, IMHO, the poster of the initial tweet is an insensitive idiot.
Unfortunately, their hardware has the unfortunate side-effect of flipping all bits upside-down.
This is actually to the benefit of their sales department because you always have to buy them in pairs.
I thought "biogas" referred to bovine flatulence.
A bit pedantic, but cows mostly belch gas rather than fart - so do make sure you connect the pipe to the right end.
I'm convinced a car that costs much more to own and operate than traditional vehicles is going to change the world.
Cars cost more than horses. Cars replaced horses.
You are seeing the world through the proverbial rose tinted glasses and are not accounting for the cost of the infrastructure needed to support horses, i.e. thousands of shovels to clean up their exhaust.
In 1894, the Times of London estimated
that by 1950 every street in the city would be buried nine feet deep in
horse manure. One New York prognosticator of the 1890s concluded
that by 1930 the horse droppings would rise to Manhattan’s third-story
windows.
It reminds me of that movie Groundhog Day. Every day its the same old shit. But at least in the fiction of the movie, things got better, and the Bill Murray eventually got laid.
No, he eventually became a good person. His character actually got laid before that ("[she] makes noises like a chipmunk when she gets *real* excited") but he still hadn't learned his lesson by that stage.
The question is whether the Murdochs are planning a trip to Punxsutawney.
All they have to say is "We believe this file is encrypted using stenography, give us the password"
Yeah, it's those stenographers and their suspicious-looking keyboards. They're bound to be up to no good. It seems like they've infiltrated every court in the land, too.
Snigger. It's a bit like (IIRC) the WW2 civil servants who, when quietly looking for staff for Bletchley Park, recruited some people who were experts in cryptogams
I'm going to have to find ways to use it
Use it?
I think I've been there - it's a town in Wales.
Surely that must be the shortened form of the name! Is it anywhere near the bio-research centre of Deoxyribonucleicgogoch?
I was thinking that the boast about encoding in 720p at 30fps already puts it behind the curve of present-day Apple mobile chips, let alone what will be available later this year with the next iteration of the iPhone.
I was about to say that didn't sound right but I see from wikipedia that I was thinking about the iPhone 4 (which only supports up to 720p). Apple's clearly beefed up their video encode hardware in the A5.
