Morning Lusty
Does this mean the OT early birds club loses another member?

It's a shame really - I can pretty much guarantee some b3ta time for the first couple of hours I'm at work, but by the time everone else wakes up I'm usually busy.

Hehe. I said member

Morning Ducky.
I was going to attempt to write a witty reply, but now that looks like it's not going to happen as
1) I'm not very funny
2) I keep giggling at the word member and my brain's stopped working proper.

Morning light. Goodness! The words member, greasy and meat in the first two posts of the thread.

Right then...
Was invited out last night by somebody I've not seen since the summer of '69 2006. This came about because a week or so ago I logged on to msn messenger for the first time in about 8 months, we started chatting (hadn't spoken for a good 8 months I reckon) and she mentioned birthday drinks and invited me out.

Anyway, we have history (when I last saw her she was leaving my house...) but I'd gone with the intention of just having a drink and catching up with some people I'd not seen in a long time. Pretty much as soon as I arrive she starts flirting with me and pretty overtly too.

She's pleasant on the eye, we get on well and both know that neither of us would want a relationship of any kind so it wasn't long before we were attached at the face.

The interesting part, however, is that after a little while of this one of her (female) friends was ostensibly in a strop. Turns out that the two of them had a bit of a drunken snog fairly recently and that her friend fancies her.

:edit: Not yet duckie. When I woke up this morning though I did hear what sounded like the sharpening of knives. I think this pregnancy could lead to the first known case of the V-section which is like a C-section except the cuts the mother open instead.

I feel it would have been inappropriate to have been attached in any other way in a bar.

We were going to go back to mine but to be honest her patching things up with her mate was more important. I suggested that to placate her friend she go back with her and go down on her. That suggestion didn't go down too well either.

I'm not sure whether her friend bats for both sides or not. She was hot though so perhaps I should have just taken a gamble.

@No3l. I do feel a bit bad though as a few days ago I was giving her relationship advice about a bloke from her uni which ended in her deciding that she did want a relationship with him but (and I don't understand this part) they're not going to commit to a relationship until some date (can't remember when) rather than just committing to it now.

re: "That wont last then" - That's what I'm thinking Clenders
But being a friendly chap who enjoys trying to help people I egged her on to go for it.

She's scared of commitment because she seems to have it in her head that relationships should be like fairytales and that if they don't work out then something truly awful has happened. She needs to learn that relationships that don't work out can still be seen as time well spent and the memories need not be painful.

Only way she'll do that is by actually having some relationships.

Well, that's good of you, although making people question what they mean by relationship is good too. I think there's too much, 'Where are we going with this?' and 'Is this serious?' etc. People should just get on with it and see where they end up.

Exactly Clendrix
As far as I can tell her definition of a relationship is being monogamous. I'm sure there are plenty of other things she associates with them but that seems to be where the line is drawn.

I'm inclined to that say that's the ONLY difference between a friendship and a romantic relationship - sex either monogamous or consensually otherwise.

I agree with you entirely about just seeing where it goes. I think that the only answer to the question "where are we going with this" is "nowhere". If you need to ask the relationship's probably fucked anyway.

b) She didn't know her friend batted for the other side until last night

That's precisely why it infuriates me so much when people start complaining about the "youth of today".

I think it'd be fair to say that people in my generation are no more or less stupid than any other and that throughout history young people (teens, early 20s) have been seen as trouble makers we just hear about a LOT more trouble being caused than just our personal experiences like we used to in the past.

Rather than having the odd experience now and then with a (typically) young person causing some trouble, not thinking much of it and moving on people read about incidents taking place all over the world but (some people) seem to react as if it has all happened to them.

There's nothing special about my generation, your generation or any generation to come.

To be honest, even though I've only been using Linux a couple of months I'd say Ubuntu ftw. Dead easy (and very quick) to install and easy to pick up out of the box. As soon as I'd installed it I could complete basic tasks like using the internet, creating documents, playing games etc.

Sit me down in front of a mac and I can't do anything at all without guidance from a Mac user. Also, that power mouse thing is far and away the most poorly designed mouse I have ever used. The ball thing is good but otherwise it's practically unusable for people that haven't used one before.

I have, I'd never do such a thing ;-) but apparantly there are downloads of build 7000 available on the torrent sites.

It's very nice even at this early stage, much better performance and some nice useability enhancements too.

That said, I never had the vista hate that some have possibly because the main machine I use it on is spec'd up to the nines.

re: Vista
I've not spent much time using Vista but the only thing I've ever had against it is how poorly it runs on any hardware that isn't top notch.

The stories I've heard about the over zealous authentication put me off a bit too. I've also heard that without all the anti-piracy bollocks it'd run just as well as XP. Still, I didn't have any reason to upgrade my home machine when I was still using windows and work use XP.

Computer stuff
Yup that was the one Ducky.

Macs are better at graphics and video related stuff, it's what they were made for.

Windows 3 was stolen from the mac os, as the mac os was stolen from xerox.

And yes I have many other tests than that that show me that my mac is lovely, and it has a two button trackball because I know my left from right!

That is all I'm going to say!

On the subject of geeky things
(Ducky might be able to help with this one)

A few years (5 years or so) back the father of a friend of mine had a BMW with a button on the alarm remote that would start up his car and turn the heaters on so that he could defrost the car without leaving the house or having to have a spare key.

Do you think it'd be possible to perform a bit of a hack so that you could achieve the same with a phone call or a text message?

That way I could heat up my car before I leave work! Shame I wouldn't be able to do it with my Ford Ka.

:edit: Dok surely that's just because the bundled software for those tasks is good? Couldn't I achieve the same with similar software installed on a different OS?

Are you sure it started the engine?

Usually, these things start a fuel-fired auxiliary heater of some sort, which heats the engine coolant without the engine being run. This is cycled through the car's heater matrix while the fans are on to warm the cabin and the engine.

On the subject though - yes you can, and it's already been though of. Webasto do several products (most of which would even fit your Ka) that do exactly as you describe.

It would almost certainly be possible to hack an existing installation too to have a phone-activated switch on it, particularly as most of the OEMs use Webasto kit anyway so you'd be able to rig up the phone interface.

Photoshop and such run smoother and faster on the Mac, as for video apps, so long as you're not using a Mac portable you have far more power under the Mac hood than the sub £1000 PC.

One last salvo
That may have been the case once upon a time Dok but these days the better video and graphics stuff is all Windows based.

As an example in the video editing world Avid make the best professional NLE out there, they keep the mac version of Media Composer only out of historical necessity and even then due to some of Apple engineering's strange decisions when designing the MacPro it's horribly crippled.

As for the graphics side, all I have to say to that is CS4 for the Mac was 6 months late and still underperforms compared to the PC version.
(, Fri 9 Jan 2009, 13:47, Reply)
You're almost certainly right
About it not starting the engine, my memory isn't all that hot.

Only had a quick glance but that webasto stuff looks pretty cool and it mentions being able to operate it by phone so no need for me to try and learn enough to try and hack it.

I think I've just found another way of putting off moving out...

:edit: Dok you're really, really wrong about the hardware. Taking the 20" iMac as an example. Costs £929. I built myself a PC just before Christmas with similar speed processor, 4gb RAM instead of 2gb, 180gb bigger hard drive, twice the video memory and 2 19" widescreen monitors for £550.

I go away for a bit and come back to a Mac v PC war. Well, I use Macs, always have done and don't like PCs. Not because they're 'worse', but because I don't use them and the OS does things differently, which annoys me. Were I a habitual PC user, I'd probably feel the same about Macs.

Using the Mighty Mouse is a piece of piss, by the way. I had absolutely no problems with it.

@V, rubberduck - I had a hire car in the US a few years back which did exactly this. It had a remote start button on the keyfob, which was very handy on a hot day if you left the aircon switched on. Doing the same with a manual car would require a switch on the gearshift to make sure it was in neutral, and I tend to leave my car in gear, so it would be another thing to remember.

The problem is that in most countries outside the US (including the UK), it's actually illegal to leave a vehicle with a running engine unattended.

Hence the reason why cars sold in this country with a pre-heat facility use parking heaters rather than remote start.

You wouldn't believe the legislative shit you have to take into account when you're designing a car. Speaking for the company I work for, the cars we sell in Europe and the cars we sell in the US are superficially identical, but under the skin there are subtle hardware differences and the computer programming is mightily different.

It's a question of firstly satisfying local legislation, and then secondly to massage local taxation rules. Ever wondered why so many car manufacturer sell cars in the UK with exactly 119g/km CO2 emissions?

The problem with flying cars
is when they stop flying.

If your car runs out of fuel or breaks down, it stops at the side of the road. Generally, this is not a huge problem in terms of not dying from it, although of course it is an inconvenience.

But if your flying car breaks down, it falls out of the sky. This would be likely to happen hundreds of times a day, causing in effect lots of mini-Lockerbies (sick enough for you, Bert?).

Not to mention the mid-air collisions.

Edit @ rubberduck - would that be an engine for a car named after a large cat, which is going to replace the current 2.7l one, by any chance? And does that also explain why aftermarket tuners can do so well with uprating diesels these days?
