To be honest I can see his point on both cases... tax havens=bad in my mind. I can see where you're coming from but I'm sure the IoM would cope (I didn't even think of it as a tax haven, although I guess Nigel Mansell moved there didn't he?). And the war? What war? The war on terror? The war to steal Iraq and Iran's oil? The war to earn America's finest construction firms billions of dollars? Great war . Edit: Also, I doubt he will have the power to stop banks investing in anything...

I really don't understand what possessed him to choose her... seems like a very very odd choice.

Reinstall windows?...

Solidworks is a pretty straightforward and powerful tool. It tends to be fairly windowsesque in its GUI, with nice little buttons indicating the extrude, shell functions etc and for solid modelling you'd be able to pick up the basics in a week or two, probably less if you're already clued up on other 3D CAD programs.

Yeah, but... it's the quantity of pointless crap I have issues with- as I said before, it was the first programme of the new series and they spent the time fannying around with trucks. I wouldn't of minded so much if they'd raced a new *insert new car here* against a dog sled team and cross country skier in Alaska but to take up 75% of the programme with silly truck games was annoying. They didn't even destroy any caravan's with them. What's the world coming to?!

Well that sucks! Whenever mine does something similar it usually goes to a 'Please insert Windows CD or browse for file XYZ' type window. Sorry, can't really shed any light on that one .

Please don't smite me oh mighty smiter...

What components is it trying to install?

You could but I'm pretty sure that's not what Viz have done, judging by the dimensions of the body...

Own up, who said McCain?...

I thought it was funny...

... All hail the Messiah!! He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

I rest my case.

Watched an interesting vid yesterday of an interview with [retard voice]Matt Damon[/retard voice] where he totally slated her and expected her to start banning/burning science books etc if she became president. Funnily enough my thoughts on Matt were quite a bit higher of him after watching that...

Well finally they're about to get rid of that retard Bush so what are people's thoughts on the matter? Personally I would rather see Obama up there but that's only because of McCain's 'right hand woman'. I don't know much about McCain and equally I know nothing about who is Obama's version of Palin but anyone who believes in creationism and is too dense to realise the French president wouldn't phone her out of the blue to tell her he 'loves what she's doing' really, really shouldn't be allowed an ounce of power... Also, horrible as it sounds, if Obama does get into power how long before someone takes a pop at him? I can see a lot of Americans being really unhappy about having a black president.

I do comps, lots of static gaps, sidehops etc big ups to back, rolling gaps... never any problems.

But they were on slicks for 80% of the race.

Toni Bou's got him beat though!

Ahhhh... so there was some reason to his madness. Gotcha.

Thanks?

Exactly. Yesterday was the first show of a new series. I missed the first 10 minutes but the only cars I saw on the entire programme (I think) were the reasonably priced car and Oliver.

Doesn't work. Not that I've run one because every single one I've ever seen is full of stiff links. However, everyone I've spoken to about them say lubing and cleaning does sweet fa and that they have stiff links from new, even with the nice thin assembly oil they come coated with. So no, not common sense! You seriously must be doing something wrong then. I've run purely Kool's on my trials bikes (plural) for about 7 years and never snapped a single one. Replace them every 6-8 months if I remember and just never have problems.

Also, Top Gear used to be a motoring program where they tested cars and gave advice and information on useful stuff. Now I still enjoy them thrashing the pants off of supercars and Ben is an absolute legend (and, so I'm led to believe is a really nice down to earth guy). However stupid staged races etc was funny a couple of years ago but it's now just getting silly.

I was also told by someone (currently working alongside them) at the weekend that they're all really up their own arses, which I expected of Clarkson but thought the other two might be a bit more down to earth. Ah well, will keep watching anyway in case anything interesting gets tested but they really need to go back a step and reconsider where the programme's heading I think.
