[Wintermute]

I've not been to Blackburn in ages, but I'm not surprised it's bad. Lancaster's really not so bad. Bit of a posh town in some ways. Preston's bad, but the local chavs live in fear of the real gangs, which is quite a relief. :)

The real gangs aren't a threat unless you do something to aggravate them. Like be a chav, and mug one of their men. That was hilarious... the chav in question lost all his fingers to a machete. :)

[Random.bass.player.]

lol.. yeah basically round blackburn theres a small punk scene thing, then its just chav chav chav. They just fight with the Burnley lot normally.

Now Burnley is bad. You can tell it's a chav town when the BNP win seats.

I walk past it everyday to uni, im surprised i havn't poped in there since i started, its a great shop imo, i'll properly buy my next bass there.

when you went UA who you reckon was the best band? im most looking forward to in flames and lamb of god with slayer being very close behind them. i dunno about children of bodom or thine eyes bleed though

hmm, well ya see, in flames was the most fun, it was the 3rd time ive seen em, and theyre just great fun live, fun to jump and headbang to, nothing too serous, just fun
bodom i reckon were the best band, by quite some way, but being the 2nd time ive seen em, ive noticed how if you see a band like amon amarth it inspires violence/hatred in the crowd towards a common enemy, and everyone has a good time, bodom seems to inspire violence against each other, maybe some of their fans are just cvnts, but yknow, like if someoine went down in a pit, no one would bother to pick them up, which kinda wrecks bodom live for me, although they were the best band
lamb of god i spent most of the time spewing blood thanks to some twat, and the music wasnt that great tbh, but if you like em itll be good for you, they interact with the crowd alot which is cool
slayer, 2nd time ive seen em, well worth it, my voice gave out partway through their set though, thoroughly enjoyable, but in terms of bands in order of goodness;
bodom
in flames
slayer
lamb of god
(and i arrived late so i missed thine eyes bleed)

Goldstrike?

Smirnoff black is quite a 'soft' vodka, true. I believe you've didn't have Absolut though, because Absolut is also pretty soft. Try the vanilia if you can lay your hands on one of those! It's delicious.

5 hulled strawberries
2 shots of vanille vodka
0,5 shot strawberry liquor
0,5 shot lemon juice
0,5 shot (a bit less then the lemon) sugar sirop

Muddle the strawberries in the shaker, add the other ingredients, shake and finestrain it into a Martini glass. Garnish: strawberry.

coud be goldstrike, it was really sugary to mask the taste of bloody strong alcohol :P
and ill try and get my hands on some vanilla, it as absolut, it was soft, it just had an unpleasant taste, ive only ever really drunk smirnoff after a lot of other drink too, and ive usually not remembered it too well, so yknow:thumb:

Macs can only be used for specific tasks. not for everyday use.... thats what the guy at exeter college explained to us.

and polyamarous:
"The Mac firefox is several versions ahead than PC version."

doesn't that explain something? Updates are usually done to repair loopholes and fix glitches in the program...

[jaco jr]

macs are good if youre a professional, eg you do one thing on your mac, whether it be graphic design or sound recording, but pcs are better for all round stuff, so if you want something to play games on, word process things, do a few specific things and generally browse the internet get a pc, but for stuff like sound recording, you need a mac and protools :thumb:

Opera is better than firefox
OpenOffice is better than MSOffice OR iWork
This Windows PC has been online more or less constantly for over two years, and has never had a virus.
A Mac using friend told me Macs never crashed once. Thirty seconds before I crashed it with my mobile phone.

Nah man, they make high-tech mouses for macs now.

Replace 'high-tech' with 'bog-standard', and 'now' with 'at long last'.

Outside the very very high-end, professional applications, there really is no significant advantage either way. It's an entirely pointless argument. :)

[Polyamarous]

As long as you display a tiny bit of common sense and go around opening random .exe's and downloading porn off horrible sites, you won't get a virus on your PC.


But on a mac you can do all those things and not get a virus!

Macs aren't good for everyday tasks?
What the ****?

[Polyamarous]

Opera is better than firefox
OpenOffice is better than MSOffice OR iWork
This Windows PC has been online more or less constantly for over two years, and has never had a virus.
A Mac using friend told me Macs never crashed once. Thirty seconds before I crashed it with my mobile phone.

Open Office was also made for Macs methinks.

EDIT: Ok this is a lie.

Why would you want to do those things?

[Wintermute]

Open Office was also made for Macs methinks.



It was originally intended to reduce the market share of MSOffice - so probably not.

But my point was that it runs on both platforms, so who gives a **** whether MSOffice or iWorks is better? OpenOffice is better than both, and is multiplatform.

[Polyamarous]

So find me an 'everyday task' that you can't do or is difficult to do on a mac?

[The_Boul]

get stuff to work

[Wintermute]

:lol:

But who said you couldn't do everyday tasks on a mac? Who are you actually directing that question at, Poly?

ok anyway, now that i have a picture i think its time to get back to the topic

Macs can only be used for specific tasks. not for everyday use.... thats what the guy at exeter college explained to us.

and polyamarous:
"The Mac firefox is several versions ahead than PC version."

doesn't that explain something? Updates are usually done to repair loopholes and fix glitches in the program...

macs are good if youre a professional, eg you do one thing on your mac, whether it be graphic design or sound recording, but pcs are better for all round stuff, so if you want something to play games on, word process things, do a few specific things and generally browse the internet get a pc, but for stuff like sound recording, you need a mac and protools :thumb:

Oh and btw maniac: IT explains that lots more loopholes have been fixed.

I really don't want to prolongue this most utterly pointless of arguments... but that's not a good thing, Poly. There's no reason they'd only correct loopholes on one version of a piece of software, unless they were only PRESENT on one version of a piece of software.

Now back to the desktops. :mad:

Face it, it's a pointless argument. it's like, OMGzorz, you can get MSN messenger 8 for windows, but it's still like, 4 or something rediculous for mac last time i checked.

is there a way to easily to stp pixelation of an image when you have it stretched across your desktop?
dan

edit:whurd at my new avatar

[Wintermute]

Not with rasterised images, no. And if it's a photo, it'll be a rasterised image. I think some image suites can interpolate to a degree, but not enough to stop it looking crap across your desktop. :)

Try just sticking it in the centre with a classy background colour instead of stretching it.

If you had adobe illustrator. they can stretch things without it pixalating (within reason i presume)

How it work is it, it looks for the shapes on the image, and instead of enlarging each pixel, it makes these shapes bigger, by adding pixels.

Or something along those lines.

Thats what my graphics teacher told me last year.

Are you sure that works? Illustrator can create a vector image, I am not sure that it can render a pre-made image into vector though.

Everyone is really diggin the Zune skin then?

My favorite desktop was your octavarium one dan....

And you need to change your location. Otherwise i'll cycle to uplyme and squat in your old house until it's legally mine. 3 months innit?

and to polyamarous:
Yeah, it's better than tellitubbie blue, cheesy silver, or pukamatic olive.

I was gonna try edit this zune one, to get rid of that vile orange colour for the start menu and loading bars, and replace it with a translucent neon green, but skin studio wasn't having it....

i like the ash gray bit though.

Might see if i can get vista to work, and switch back to that, but Jaco has my install DVD and it didn't like my graphics drivers, so i have to reload the stock ones.

A funny little thing the girl I'm seeing made for me basically.

We'd been talking about how we used to be dinosaurs nuts as kids and she found her old doll from the tv show "Dinosaurs" and I asked her to do some pics of it and she came up with that when she was bored.

Always makes me smile when I see it, so it became my desktop.
