Fantastic Contraption Game
I've not been on B3ta much recently, and this game is the reason why. It's utterly, utterly addictive, and you can complete the same levels over and over again in classier ways once you get good.
It starts off so simple, but you end up making machines like this: FantasticContraption.com/?designId=6120243

Good opportunity to have anoter crack at it, though.
Edit and that's a belting machine for that level. I think my solution just relied on pivoting the thing and was a bit hit and miss.

A couple of weeks a go there was a thread on /links about Jade Goody
in which someone or other rejoiced somewhat at her impending death from cancer, and a bunch of other b3tans pointed out a number of reasons why dying of cancer and making orphans of your children is a really bad thing even if people think you are an annoying gobby chav slapper.
The link is not funny or silly or quirky or otherwise b3tarded, just an opinion piece from Michele Hanson in The Grauniad, that happens to be a bloody good explanation of why there are times to stand up and support even the most painful of individuals, even when they employ a cynical moneygrubber like Max Clifford as a publicist.
Apologies for such a dose of seriousness, but I know a few of you responded sympathetically last time this was aired and I thought you might find this interesting.

Cancer isnt remotely funny or a punishment for annoying people. It is a horrendous state of affairs for the sufferer, those who have to support the sufferer and those all to often left behind.
As much as Jade has annoyed me in the past the way she seems to be tackling this illness shows courage well beyond what I think I would be capable of in her position.

It's then that the two words "Max" and "Clifford" loom large (her publicist btw).
For that reason it wouldn't surprise me to hear that she makes a "miraculous recovery" in the not too distant future.

If there are people willing to front the money
for her to make this documentary, then why the hell shouldn't she make it?
That's not to say I'm going to watch it - the same way that I wouldn't watch any of the fly-on-the-wall documentaries about her life pre-cancer, or a Jordan and Peter wedding special...
The fact is that a lot of people will watch this. Whether they be the Heat/Hello readers after something to gossip about after Corrie has finished, or people who've taken a genuine interest in how terminal illness affects a family, huge numbers are going to tune in to watch her final moments.
As the article rightly points out, whether we like her or not, she is bringing to the attention of the media and public at large, the necessity for screening etc and that in itself has to be commended.
I'm of the opinion that Jade Goody is a fucking spack simply because she has caused so much public offence on several occasions and doesn't seem to learn from her mistakes. The making of the film in no way redeems her for events past, but we can at least say she has (or will have) had at least one positive impact from being a public figure.
(, Tue 17 Feb 2009, 13:53, Reply)
As much as this is upesetting,
and no one should ever go like this, one thing still plays on my mind. Dying of cancer does not make you a good person. And yes, I was mocking her poor attempt at racism, her lack of any general knowledge and general annoyance. And at that time, she had no cancer. Just because she is now playing the heart strings of the public by saying what any body dying would say -miss her boys laugh etc- does not mean she has changed. Deep down, she is still the same person I detested since 2002. And why should we feel guilty about the things we have said about her, when she should be carrying the weight of her own ways in the past. I am not willing to share her burden.
Any way, I blame the media.
Quote of the day
What's incredibly sad is that neither C4, nor the tabloid press, nor a brand of scent, nor a Christmas cookbook, nor even a premature and impending death can manage to make Jade Goody at all interesting.

There's been a lot of very bad law passed in the last few years in the name of security. But if one's going to oppose it, one should at least get the right targets.

From The Telegraph
Whereas in the past the police have not had the power to prevent photographs being taken of them, from today they have. Under the new Counter-Terrorism Act it is an offence to take pictures of officers "likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism". This is such a catch-all measure that it can be used – and, in view of recent trends, will be used – to prevent photographs to which the police object merely by invoking counter-terrorist requirements. While it is important for officers involved in such operations to maintain anonymity, many photographers fear these powers will be abused.

from experience
and study.. it more often the case that the letter of the law is enforced, yet the spirit is not.. while there is, by way of implied limitation, exceptions to being able to photograph officers, in practice the actual law will be enforced wherever and whenever anyone wants to use it. All it requires is for an officer to justify it anyway s/he likes.
examples of this are with the anti-terrorism laws being used to punish litter louts by local councils
your country is becoming more and more a police state
(, Tue 17 Feb 2009, 13:29, Reply)
A major problem is that most people don't know the law or their own rights well enough.
Therefore, when a police officer tells someone to do something or makes demands for which compliance is voluntary, they tend to do as bidden, even though they don't need to. This is even more likely when done in what could be perceived as a threatening manner as experienced by many photographers in the last few months (see links throughout this thread).

i've experienced misconceptions myself
taking some pictures in a park local to here, i was verbally abused by a woman that wanted me to delete all the images from my camera because i was "taking pictures of kids".. i was taking pictures of plants, flowers and a squirrel i saw (for a project)..
she stopped short of calling me a perv, though did threaten to call the police..
she didn't believe me when i told her it's a film camera..
the odd thing that struck me, was that she had crossed halfway across the park to shout at me, leaving her two kids and a pushchair alone over 100yards away

There's a piece on this issue on theregister.co.uk which points out that
"In line with the model used in related laws, the offence itself is "strict liability": it is the gathering of information that will be deemed to be the offence, and a defence that the person had a "reasonable excuse for their action" is only allowed after the offence has been charged."

and my target is?
I thought that might be plain from the text at the start and end of the video.
Putting such vague laws in place which are so open to interpretation (and without any guidance to or restrictions on implementation) is definitely worth noting. And it is surely worth mentioning those who proposed and put the law into effect.
Furthermore, past behaviour by some members of the constabulary shows that this law is open to abuse.
So, please tell me who you consider to be the correct target as you imply I have so clearly got it wrong.
As for your qualification/clarification/put-down - Of course you are correct. I was obviously not intending to deceive but lmited by space and by my own laziness to type an explanatory extract of the act into the headline field when I posted.

As I remember, he and his wife had had a baby chimp as a pet, but when it got bigger, they gave it to a zoo. They visited it every day, going in to the enclosure to give it a cuddle and say hi, but one day, one of the other chimps went mental and tried to rip him apart.

aaah
see! there we go.
I think this is quite similar to harmonics in a way, if you play 2 different frequencies, one in each ear, the brain produces an entirely new frequency that can be beyond the frequency range of the human ear.
Clever stuff really!

"But there is one colour that is notable by its absence."
ONE colour? Funny, I don't see brown there either. Or beige. People never pay enough attention to biege.

Are brown and beige not just lighter, less saturated oranges and reds?

Question:
If the eye receives light of more than one wavelength, the colour generated in the brain is formed from the sum of the input responses on the retina. For example, if red light and green light enter the eye at the same time, the resulting colour produced in the brain is yellow, the colour halfway between red and green in the spectrum.
Surely that's the mean; wouldn't the sum be somewhere closer to the violet end of the spectrum (somewhere around blue)?

When
you merge two frequencies you don't end up with the sum of those frequencies, you end up with a modulated wave.

erm
Magenta most certainly is a colour. It may not have a specific wavelength but the brain interprets the two signals as a colour without any problem whatsoever.
Interesting read though, if flawed.

I may have mied the point a touch...
... But the thing that made me smile about that was the fact that you can just about hear "Let's Go All the Way" by Sly Fox in the background.
I've not heard that since about 1985, and was beginning to wonder whether it'd ever really been released.
