    UFO Hunters

    :D Yes, not being of the American genus or having lived in that culture, I too am confused by the colloquialism of what constitutes 'sucks ass'. Can you elucidate my good fellow? I have a fear that if we are not careful we could be exposed to SEO bombing of a flagrantly incorrect topic for...

    UFO Hunters

    one has to make a reasoned judgement here... Do you like sucking ass or programmes centred around that? Do you draw a direct correlation between a person's ability to make a tv programme and their ability produce a monthly newsstand publication? If you like sucking ass and do not draw a...

    Musical Interests

    This is my funeral request music. If there is one thing I can give to my children, it is the central tenet of this song. The styilised video by Shinola and the setting just makes it more.

    Alternative iConference #3

    Yes, I agree with you I think. People are offering the truth from their perspective - it may or may not be your perspective, but it helps to round out the case/subject/genre as a whole by being exposed to it - if nothing more than to make you aware of the cruft that exists around the topic and...

    Alternative iConference #3

    Perhaps the best thing is not to take anything on any of the shows at face value. People (IMHO) should be critical in analysing what is said and it is up to themselves to form their own conclusions.. do the research, ask around, whatever you're personally comfortable with to get the answers you...

    grim news indeed

    That is a genuine shame, once we'd got past this bit, I was looking forward to debating how we wouldn't reach the point of no oil because other solutions would have become economically viable. Oh well, peace be with you and hopefully we'll mend our differences in time.

    grim news indeed

    Ok, to explain my point on this. In your first long post you state: "Logic prevails that in a closed system all things have either a finite short term use or a final fixed rate of extraction (this would cover such things as coal and oil as they take a long time via geological process to become...

    grim news indeed

    Thanks for editing your post to not calling me retarded. I am genuinely sorry if you feel I am attacking you for being you, but you have made several statements which show either a lack of understanding or are not true. I think I have the right to question those points just as you question...

    grim news indeed

    gah! you're really not helping yourself with this are you? Quick check on wikipedia reveals that: Current projections show a continued increase in population (but a steady decline in the population growth rate), with the global population expected to reach between 7.5 and 10.5 billion by 2050...

    grim news indeed

    Can you actually define what you mean by a closed system please, because checking the definitions on Wikipedia, your analogy fails on all four. Closed system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia That's fine, but it's still not a closed system. I leave to the tens of astronauts that have already...

    grim news indeed

    No it is not. How can you (an engineer) be so foolish to say that - I thought engineers were supposed to be analytical and obsessed with detail?.... so the Sun has no part to play in this - fine switch it off mate and see what happens in 8 minutes. Meteors and asteroids have no part to play in...

    grim news indeed

    The trouble with the 'growth' in the western economies was that it was a beard for increasing debt. Once the growth stopped, the illusion of being able to service the debt went AWOL. The Greek's and the EU will continue to kick the can down the road so long as politico's make the decisions, it...

    grim news indeed

    Nice try, but it's not a closed system. It's an island right? so you have the Sea to bring to ,and take things from, the island - fish maybe to eat or seaweed, driftwood to burn. You urinate/defecate in the Sea (so long as no one's looking ;) ) and rely on the tides to take things away from...

    This is another test.

    What size was the gif, in MB terms?I don't think the actual dimensions would be the blocker, more like the size to upload the image over the net. That suggestion explains a lot.

    This is another test.

    the file will only upload if it is a recognised image file .e.g jpg, gif, png etc.. or a .txt, .zip or .pdf file. If you are trying to upload anything else it won't work. It assumes that the image(s) will then form part of a slideshow, so word docs and excel files won't fly, you'd need to either...

    Yup, it could be as simple as title holder and then everything else is related to that title so you could have n+1 entries as needed that would form the contents of the case - warts and all. Absolutely, if you think of it as a tree with the case as the trunk and the entries as main branches...

    Screw that dude, why not blog about it, better still, when the site is setup, why not blog about these as individual topics and the many others? *cough* I fully own one of them.... it's a 2Gig USB stick *cough* Ta da! :) I am hopeful that the miscreants of these forums will keep us honest...

    I disagree with some of your points. It isn't another web-crawler to database to screen approach - that would end up as yet another narrow minded view of what the data is and shaping it to fit the author's view of the world. Garbage in can be useful. For example, hoax sightings can act as...

    No more forums for me, anywhere.

    agree with ron. Voyager, why not put up or shut up, like the title you gave to this post implies. Presently, you're just sounding like a kid who threw their toys out the pram in another thread and then started this one so people beg you to post something and all is forgiven and you have an...
