No sweat! If you saw a bunch of them, then I'm guessing you were in the Brecon Beacons, somewhere not too far from Llanddeusant. There's a red kite feeding station there

Quote from MattsterGT :let me make this clear...THAT DIDN'T HELP...THAT'S JUST U ADVERTISING MASTER SKINNERZ (but clearly they aren't master spellers)

Matt

How very peculiar. I found the Master Skinnerz site to be of immense help when developing skins. I'm very surprised that you didn't find their site useful.

Is it that Shadowww forgot the link?

I'm still holding out for a complete political/electoral revolution in this country. The whole expenses thing is just the straw that broke the camel's back, as far as the public's concerned.

Politicians think we've all just been apathetic and that they could do what they wanted. Now they're realising we weren't apathetic, we were just getting more and more angry. An unelected prime minister failing to deliver on electoral promises, on the referendums they promised us.. and steam-rolling over our civil liberties in the name of national security and the fake "war on terror".. what did they expect? That we'd take this shit forever?

My nieces do this on facebook. Well, they did. I don't know if they still do. I found the "hide" button.

Quote from bunder9999 :isn't the point of forum usergroups to allow/prevent people from seeing certain categories?

You can do that with beer, if we all drink enough!

I've calculated that Tristan can only eat 6 Jaffa Cakes per minute when sober, and 1 per minute when drunk, so provided there's a LOT of Jaffa Cakes AND ALSO a lot of beer, we'll be fine!

The Brits will take free beer.. or Jaffa Cakes. Either's good!

Most of those are serviced by the regional community websites, I think, which often have forums etc in their own language etc. liveforspeed.se for example

But.. if it's a good idea, there's no problem passing it on to the devs to decide

Group and subsection creation is limited to the developers. If you have a good idea for a new LFS-related group, let us know and we'll suggest it to the devs.

He had it coming because he makes money out of taking the piss out of other people.. and he was owned by.. someone who makes money out of taking the piss out of other people.

So.. now, can we expect Sacha Cohen to be owned by.. someone who makes money by taking the piss out of other people. I wonder who it will be, and where it will all end.

In tears, I bet

Most games developers will charge what the market will bear. If you don't want to pay the price they're asking for a game, just don't buy it. Do without.

If something doesn't sell because people won't pay for it, they'll stop charging so much for it*. People make a lot of noise about their objections but all too often, they pay it anyway. Until we turn the culture around and start only tolerating the tolerable, games distributors, and everyone else as well, will forever screw us.

* Except for Sony, with their PS3 that is. They got thoroughly busted, massaging sales figures after launch, and yet they're still determined to keep the retail price high. But then Sony has a long history of dismal marketing, dating right back to their Betamax video format and beyond. They're the exception that proves the rule.

Quote from Shadowww :Ubuntu can be reinstalled in 6 (or 7?) mouse clicks, so that's not a big problem - she can do it herself. And only program she needs, Firefox, comes in default install.

You couldn't teach your mum to double-click on a Firefox icon in XP? Yowzer! Even after 2 days of trying?!

[edit] Or.. did you try to teach your mum to use Office, email, some kind of Excel application etc in XP and just in the end, resort to Ubuntu with Firefox, and forget the rest of the stuff she might do?

Quote from Shadowww :SamH, I was explaining mine mother how to use Windows (it was XP) about two days. Then I gave up and installed Ubuntu (it was 8.04). She didn't asked a single question! + Ubuntu has translation to over 90 languages.

It's a good thing she has you, because as soon as it goes tits up she's screwed. You know it's true.

My dad's a complete imbecile with computers but he can get around XP as long as you plot a route for him. Some people just aren't able to take on board what a computer is and/or how you go about using it. Some other people will just never be able to learn to drive. Others will never be able to learn to dance. There is no definitive "anyone can do this" in life.

[edit] I've said it before many times, but I'll say it again: I'm no fan of Gates or of Windows. But I do have the sense to recognise that, if it hadn't been for these, the internet probably would never have become as popular as it is and the percentage of homes with useful personal computers would be a fraction of what it is.

IMO, the Windows OS is the only OS for the masses.

Macs are easy to use (as long as you don't want to do much) but difficult to buy (prohibitively expensive).

Linux is cheap to buy (even free) but isn't easy to *fix* (which is needed more than Penguin-shaggers realise, because they're so used to having to fix it that it's second nature) and there's sod all to do on it.

A Windows machine is cheap, it's easy to use, easy to screw up and easy to reformat/restore. Grandparents can write letters to the BBC about how rubbish Question Time was, and grandchildren can kill aliens to their hearts' content. Neither Mac nor Linux offer this level of versatility unless you're extremely selective about which aliens you want to kill, or which printer you want to print to.

The reason Windows is as popular as it is, is because it's so much better than anything else at being THE home PC.

I cleared out AMB's posts as Lazza2k9. He posted thousands of links to the crack last night under various usernames. Someone who does that has no place on this forum, ever.

Quote from DevilDare :Lol.....

Spammers invasion

Feel sorry for mods

Don't feel sorry for us

AMB spends 15-30 minutes getting around the system, to create a new account before he can start spamming links to the crack etc. It takes me about 20 seconds to delete every post AMB's made and ban him. It's literally 3 clicks these days, since Vic changed the forum because of AMB's previous tantrums.

Of course, it doesn't mean I think it's okay for him to do it.. but he's not nearly the pain in the ass that he THINKS he is.

[edit] Another one bites the dust.
