I stopped watching F1 when it was just Schumacher winning everything about 10 years ago.
This is a cool picture but it does make me curious as to what happened in the original.

The simple way to make F1 more interesting is to get half the cars to race clockwise round the track and the rest to go anti-clockwise :)

This season is getting steadily more "Mario Kart-like"
First they bring in power-ups (i.e. KERS and DRS) and now the cars can jump? Yay!

i used to love warios circuit, i'd get the lightning and use it when people where about to go over the jump, they'd end up failing the jump and have to go around about 1/4 of the circuit again. good times.

I've got a speckled vector that I lay over the top and just trim out of the lettering/graphics. It's a bit "triangly", but it looks okay if you make it small enough. The background is a colour-modified texture that's already distressed.

Someone I know wants to drop out of their 3 year university foundation degree in sound recording.
They have been there 2 years and have failed one of their modules and can no longer resit it any further times. They tell me this means they cannot pass the course, hence they want to drop out.
I have advised them to find out if the modules they have already completed have any transferable value to another institution where they might potentially complete their degree.
Have any of you had any experience of this type of thing or know anybody who does that you could put this friend in touch with. I'm really struggling to convince them and I think they are making a big mistake that they will regret for the rest of their life.
Any advice, hilarious or otherwise would be most welcome. bonus points for being nice.
of modern the education system, but has your friend explored EVERY avenue at thier current place? Most institutions don't want failures or drop-outs; it looks bad on them. Have they heard there is no way forward from 'the top'?

Here in Sweden,
the first thing to do would be to contact the people in charge at the uni - not once have I heard of any studies-related problem that couldn't be sorted by communicating (nicely).

Also in Sweden
you can flunk on an exam as many times as you like, basically, as education is free. He should move there. Not sure if this applies to foreigners now though, there were talks of MAKING THEM PAY.
I'd go to the faculty the department/school is attached to if the department/school can't/won't do anything.
Were there any extenuating circumstances? Family/relationship problems, stress, depression, anything like that? If so, they'll often take it seriously and may cut some slack. Other options include working serious overtime on doing a different module in their free time to make up lost points, although this might not work if the module failed was a compulsory unit. As a last reort, if they have the money available, or can work enough evenings and weekends to pay for it, they can always resit a year and carry as normal afterwards. I knew a few people who did that. It was hard work for them as they had to make enough money to survive on, but it paid off in the end.
they qualify for a HND anyway. You don't say which uni they go to. If it's a top flight uni, then they should do everything they can to get the degree. Even a third from somewhere like Oxford would be a great thing to have. A third from some shitty polytechnic claiming to be a university isn't worth the paper it was crapped out on. Those polytechs are no better than the spam emails you get claiming they'll give you a degree for $500. A retarded chimp can get a degree in quantum physics from one of those polytechs.

not many red brick institutions offer contemporary vocational degrees, so perhaps a reduction in the rhetoric might be due, given that vocational degrees are the only ones the govt. wants people to do from now on in!

At my university you had one chance to retake it.
If you failed the exam then you couldn't take it again.
However you could redo the coursework to try and get a higher mark (if there was any coursework). Or you could take a different module instead to make up the difference, it might mean finishing 6 months later than planned.
from judging the woes of a complete stranger on the basis of someone else's 148 words: it sounds like their heart isn't in it
if they've really decided that they don't like sound recording, that's that. if they just feel like they can't focus on it at the moment, they should plead for a year off

If they are intending to work in that field
then their qualification is probably not all that essential anyway. I know of some AV companies that demand a basic level of qualification, but in the world of recording it is generally your experience and skills that count for more than anything else.
Even if they cannot complete the degree, they can probably spend the rest of their time there learning as much as possible and using the facilities they have available to build up as impressive a portfolio as possible.
If they are not intending to work in the field, then it's probably time to go look for a job doing something else.

Comparison of a sunspot (the sun worked out here to be 3300 pixels across) with the Earth (.0092% the size - 30 pixels across). apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html
So I spent a year and a half learning Chinese once, and then after I finished that I went to china for a couple weeks (back in late 2009) on my own to make sure I did it right. I did and all was well. :D
Anyhow, I was going through some of the pics of my camera when I found a few in a series. I remembered that at the time I meant to make them into a nifty little panorama thing but I'd totally forgotten to until just today. So, I threw them into the panorama software that my camera came with, and this is what came out. There are a few spots that are a little obvious in terms of where the seam was, but I think it's altogether a nice pic.
What you don't see in it though is, behind me, there is a 70ft tall buddha statue.

nice pic
a very nice view for sure shame about the seams, if you want i can try and do something about that...
it really was shit, I just bunged a duplicate layer on top, used the clone tool to roughly remove the seams and then used a reduced opacity eraser to thin it out a little.

No, I saw these naughty desk shagging ones in a model shop.
Convinced I'd be served by a spotty youth, happy to supply me with miniature porn but no. Crushingly I was served by the most beautiful girl in the world who proceeded to look at me as if I were some clammy fisted pervert. Great.
I reckon I could do a bit more with the composition though.
