OK people...
I know this relates to the 'Best Films Ever' question, but it has a little more to it.

What films would you truly rate as 10 out of 10?

I want to hear reasons for each, not just a list.

Mine will be in replies...

I'm sitting here in my office grinning like a loon.

I've just been given verbal notification of when my employment terminates.

So as of the sixth of August I shall be a man of leisure, that is if I don't have another job by then.

Greetings, technical b3tans
Can anyone recommend a dual output graphics card that supports hardware mirroring?

I've got a computer connected to a projector and an LCD screen. 90% of the time both outputs need to be identical, but sometimes I want to display different things on the outputs. I'm currently using a Matrox card but having to mirror the outputs using UltraMon, and doing it at a software level has some serious performance implications.

I'm sure I've seen graphics cards where you can set the option to mirror in the graphics driver but it is then done at a hardware level on the card itself. Anyone got any ideas which cards do this? Don't need any fancy 3D shiznit as it is a work machine. Don't mind what interface the card is as I will be buying a new PC to go with it anyway, probably PCI-E though as that's what everything seems to be these days.

Just to see how much of a freak of nature I really am, I thought I'd conduct a survey to see howmany non-pre-cummers there are out there.

I'm reading 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' by Bill Bryson, again. I've read it before, and it's packed full of truely mind-bending statements about creation, the universe and life itself.

What are you reading at the moment? And are there any books you regularly come back to?

Got a question for you.
Why is it so damn hard for people to understand that sometimes people just want to move and start over?

Called the british consulate today. Was told that unless I could get sponsorship I won't be able to remain in the UK or come back unless it's for a holiday.
To say I'm upset would be a bit of an understatement.

Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!
As you all know, my boyfriends daughter is an ex-tweaker (meth user). She's not used Meth since she got out of jail - believe me I know the signs - she just drinks instead. She's swapped one addiction for another.
She causes problems with me and my partner by a) getting drunk, telling her boyfriend stuff I said to her months ago and he calls my partner and gets pissed off because she puts it that I said it yesterday. He believes her.
Last night, I was supposed to spend the night at his - we're getting into a routine - and she was supposed to be at nightclass, hell, I even dropped her off. She came home drunk off her tits. She'd skipped class and went to her friends house, then lied that she was getting a ride home from school. She's 21. Instead of saying "hey dad, school got out early, going to friends house but may spend the night" she lied about the whole fucking thing and I ended up going home so I didn't have to deal with it.

I'm *this* close to ending the relationship. I love him, but can't deal with this shit any more. I would dearly love some genuine advice, as well as some "man the fuck ups". I am depressed and hurt and keep trying to do the right thing and I get slapped in the face all the time.

Catching up on some lovely Ashes to Ashes just now,
I suddenly realised that I am incredibly attracted the Gene Genie, DCI Gene Hunt.

He is probably old enough to be my dad and then some, and he's not particularly pretty. Although, he's very manly, and has this definite aura of power...

Should I be worried? Is anyone else suffering from this affliction, or any other embarrassing sexual longings?

What an awesome creature it is.

Didn't want to post a "I'm getting older" story into the "turning into your parents" QOTW
The other week I was back in Cumbria (my home-town is on the west coast) From my room you get a fantastic shot of the western fells. The only downside is, there are a dozen wind turbines which have been erected.

I was telling my girlfriend that they weren't always there and muttered the phrase one can only hope to say "I can actually remember when all of this was just fields"

It was at that moment that I felt truly old (i'm 22 ffs)

Have any of you lot said that phrase?

Back in Britain!
I'm finally back in the UK after 9 long months in America, and bloody hell, I'd forgotten about chavs. Walked up the road to Tesco this morning, and spent much of the walk recoiling in horror. There were more obesities on Yiewsley high street than in the whole of Georgia, USA. I'd swear that the road was shaking with every footfall of the hydrophobes.

However - I shouldn't complain. I'm now living with my fiance again(rather than talking to him over skype every night), will start working in a nice lab group in a fortnight, and can utilise the NHS* for all the maternity care I'll need in the coming 20 weeks - so I suppose I can put up with chavs. But still.

*my better half and I both pay NI and UK income tax, I'm not some sort of scummy healthcare migrant!
