Quote from mantis9 :it means an end to loud gigs that yes may hurt your ears for two days afterwards but in a good way

A good way?? If your ears hurt, it means that your hearing has been damaged. Some of that damage is irreparable.

I stopped going to gigs when I noticed that my ears kept buzzing for 3 days afterwards. I'm in my 40s now, and the buzz has become permanent. Far too often I need to ask people to repeat what they're saying.
Quote :for god's sake aren't we all sensible enough to know when something's too loud?

No. This kind of damage goes creepingly slow. You won't notice until it's too late. Would you like to be deaf for the second half of your life?

Quote from xaotik :On average I drink a bottle of red wine per night and usually a few shots of harder liquor

There are plenty of online resources with advice about alcohol consumption. The Dutch center for alcohol and drugs sets the norm at 3 glasses a day, for at most 5 days per week. Your level of consumption may or may not lead to addiction, but it seems more than enough to damage your health in the long run.

It was clear from the first line of your post that you have a drinking problem.
Quote from Noccy :Think u might have passed the point of self help though, but give it a try...NO alcohol whatsoever for 2months(no tasters, no excuses, not a drop).
If u can't muster that, go find professional help

Excellent advice imho. Try leaving the stuff alone for a time, to see if you still have the strength. Beforehand, make a promise to yourself that if you fail, you will seek help. And tell your closest friends and relatives about it, because (a) they can support you, and (b) if they don't know, their behaviour will only add to the temptation.

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :There is many of texture mods, where you can put in your LFS Addon folder, to see new textures or just test them. And If have some problems, just remove them that folder and still you have an original texture mod.

The problem here is not really technical, but a question of support.

Currently, the devs are free to change the names and contents of any file in the LFS directory. If someone makes pretty new textures, his efforts may be invalidated by the next LFS patch. Tough luck for him, but he has no grounds to complain.

A facility like you propose implies an obligation for the devs to keep things working the way they do, and I'm not sure they will like that.

However, your idea can also be realised with an external program: a simple application that allows you to install new textures while saving the original ones, so you can restore them later. Two days' work for an experienced Windows programmer.

Aren't you worried that the magic might miss, so the sledgehammer ends up in someone else's skull?

I had a horn on my kid's bike that sounded like this.
I thought it was really cool... when I was 5 years old.

Quote from Flotch :it cannot be called FE blue
green, black and gold are the colors of the flag of the country which is supposed to be located the circuit.

True, but the Blue Mountains are also located on Jamaica. They're famous for the coffee gown there. (And cafeine fits racing better than "relaxed" names like Marley or Ganja :tilt.

Quote from Blackout :It's Paimio. Really not that known really, I give you a tenner.

Joking?

It's a landmark in modern chair design, just like the Eames chair. MoMa has one. You still can buy new ones, for over $3000. I'm not an expert, but I think an original one, if constructionally sound, should raise at least as much.

Stang70Fastback, you won't get any good advice here. Better contact an expert in classic furniture. (However, now might not be the best of times to raise a good price at an auction. If these chairs were mine, I'd have them restored to prime condition and use them myself.)

IIRC, Outlook has a setting where you can choose whether you want to send confirmation emails. (Can't give more details, coz I only have Outlook on my PC at work.)

Setting that to off should solve the problem. However, it could be a global setting, so Outlook might stop sending confirmation mails for all accounts.

EDIT: You can find the option here (Outlook 2003, English):
Menu "Tools" -> "Options ..."
First tab ("Preferences")
Click button "E-mail Options ..."
Click button "Tracking Options ..."
Select the second radio button "Never send a response"

Quote from DevilDare :ginho - since when a bannana is a tool?

Actually, I saw a demo on TV where they dipped a banana in liquid nitrogen, and then used the frozen banana to hammer a nail into a plank.
Quote from Luke.S :Dam how did i not see the of's

Because the lines were specially formatted so that you would miss them. Your focus is guided towards the start of long words, and the hyphenated line endings. It's psychological trickery.

"I think it's nice"
"Yes, I would even say that it's nice"
(hint: Thomson and Thompson, from the Tintin comic)

Great video, Michael. I didn't get bored (which, in my case, is exceptional with racing vids). Good sync'ing with the music. I especially enjoyed the visual jokes with the rewinding, the starting lights, etc.

So, to sum it up in one word:
NICE

I'd prefer war-crime lawsuits instead of bullets.
BTW, he already did dodge the bullets:

Quote from mcintyrej :I kind of respect the fact he just stood there and ducked, despite the fact the guy could have been throwing bombs at him or something.

It could have been a shoe bomb.

Seriously, there must have been all kinds of sfaety procedures, metal detectors, etc. The only explosive device that you can carry into a Bush press conference is a laptop battery.

It tried contacts, but didn't like it. The problem wasn't the hassle of putting them in/out, the discomfort, or whatever. No, my vision just wasn't as sharp as with glasses. Something to do with the shape of my eyeballs (cylinder), I believe). I work on a PC all day, and I had to squint to see my screen clearly.

I tried two sets, from different stores. When I returned the second set, the sales guy just shrugged and said something like "what did ya think?".

Well, then have some private fun and put the razor on your own wrists.
Quote from MAD3.0LT :lol my question is what is a relationship wif out sex????

Love, if that is a concept that you can grasp.

Look, the OP asked for help on a problem that's d*mn hard to handle. I you guys can't say anything supportive, then please don't post here. There are plenty of other threads that are more fit for silly jokes.

Quote from Crashgate3 :Geographically though, it ain't going to happen. Politically and economically (well, haha.. maybe not economically - 'let's invade and seize all their.... massive debts.. oh..' ) we may be ripe, but there just isn't any power that has the means and motive to get here and invade.

You've already been invaded, for over 20 years... by hardcore capitalists. Thatcherism, Reaganomics, globalization, etc. They gave to the rich, took from the poor, and spread the lie that it was in everybody's best interest.

The immigrants are just a scapegoat. The BNP should put the blame where it belongs: with the wealthy neocons. (If you don't believe me, read "The shock doctrine" by Naomi Klein.)

Quote from MAD3.0LT :was wondering when someone was going to say that even in the HICK country of australia thats against the law

Against the law to fall in love?? The OP never mentioned sex.
Besides, they met over a year ago, so he was a minor himself then.
