Quote by Deviated Prevert
You go to a speed dating event and the only women who show any interest in you are the ones that need their PCs fixing.
Guess that'll be me last night, then... rolleyes

Oh well, did any of the ones that want their PC fixing appeal to you?
I get that a lot when I meet people, for some reason they think that a Linux sysadmin will know exactly how to sort out whatever crap proprietary software they happen to have running on their POS Windoze box.
I get that occasionally too, being a programmer although as a Linux person, the only Windows I have is '98 that gets used once in a blue moon nowadays and some experience a while ago writing stuff for Win2k and using XP a teensy bit. Not that I can't help out at least a bit with most things, but it's almost like someone you just met from another country when you're on hols, who doesn't know much about geography saying "oh, how is the Queen by the way?"
I'm definitely a geek though. Sometimes more so than others. Other than not being addicted to caffeine.
Jezzay - hi, hope your speed-dating thing goes well. I'm thinking of going to one in the next few weeks, in fact there's one Wednesday I might go to. Never been before. At least you know everyone there (assuming they're being honest) is single and you won't spend ages chatting to someone and getting on really well only to find out they're happily married. Let us know how it goes.
Quick aside: PC World, wouldn't trust them with my PC (not that they'd be able to fix anything software-wise anyway as it runs Ubuntu). And, I've eaten maybe 2 BK/McD's in the last 3yrs. A mate at work made me laugh by pointing out that one of them now advertises that they only put 100% chicken meat into their chicken nuggets now. So what went in there before? confused
Anyone else got any specific speed-dating advice (ok, apart from normal stuff like be yourself, be honest, have fun).
The lock/key ice-breaker thing - I know which company that is, had a look at their site and events. Happy to chaperone anyone happening to go to an event I'm going to.

Any techie females out there want to suck my big cock lol :lol: :lol: :lol: surprised :o :o :shock: :shock: :shock: rolleyes :roll: :roll:

Aren't you worried I might byte?
Jezzay
Oh dear.. Don't get me started on computer-based puns.... smile
I won't have a bit of it (soz..)
But you can come caress my joy-stick anytime (ok, now it's just getting pathetic). Just don't squeeze the (mouse)ball too tightly.
We could have a load of fun, it would be a great gig, is meg coming too? I'm a little into bondage but does meg-hurtz?
(mm... I'm losing it).

If you have XP then your CD-Rom will work in safe mode. Might be as easy if you had a USB stick. XP on my OLD pc lol Its a pentium one with either win95 or win98 on it, it makes my Spectrums look fast

Probably more stable, too (the Spectrums) - yes, even with a wobbly RAM pack! There is a TCP/IP stack around for them that is workable I believe. Win95/98's networking is unbelievably flaky, even with stable device drivers and all the patches. They gave up for Win2k and nicked it from another O/S (allegedly... or was it proven in court?)
PS - yes, 2 posts together, but the 1st one was big enough already thankyou very much! Different comment anyway
Quote by HarryJones

If your old PC has a ethernet port then get a crossover cable and network both PCs, then transfer files. Networking arghh I would be up till about 6am trying to do it.
If you get someone in to do transfer dont pay more than £30.

Er.. thought I'd better point out that networking one PC that's infected up to any other PC is a bad idea. I think removing the disk out of the problem PC and installing it in the new one is one of the best and quickest ways (a 5minute job if your PC case/drive mounting screws are easy to get at, and you know how to set the drive to master/slave as appropriate).
Using the infected PC's system to do anything involving the copying (eg. over a network, via a disk, even a USB flash memory-stick or something) always runs the risk that the infected PC can infect files on the disk or copy extra hidden stuff on there to infect other PCs with (although that's not such a big route to infection nowadays). Taking the disk out means as long as the PC's system you put it in doesn't read anything from the new disk except the pictures, you're safe. Also - it can read the data fastest of all 'cos it's coming direct from the drive.
Ok, sorry to bore you all with the techy bits... Hope it's helpful to anyone interested.
As long as you're careful with the infected computer's drive in your safe, working,. machine, and don't run any software or open any files that could have viruses in from the infected drive, you're ok. Virus-scan it first. Any shortcuts to programs should be temporarily broken anyway (usually a pain but in this respect rather helpful) as the drive will be a different letter (not "C:"), I presume.
Get someone a bit knowledgeable about the insides of a PC (dont need to be an expert, but anyone who's built their own PC before or added an extra drive a couple of times or something should be plenty capable enough) to help with a bribe of some sort.
Oh btw everyone bigging-up Firefox - yes, compared to IE it's brilliant ("doozies"??? from another thread I was just reading), and it's the most compatible non-IE browser out there but it's too lacking in customisation for me (without getting really techy and writing plugins/skins). I prefer - faster (once it's started), way more customisable off-the-shelf (to almost stupid degrees - I love it), and also runs in Windows/Mac/Linux/BeOS/on your PDA/smartphone/almost anywhere else. Has a decent " feed reader" too (for news eg BBC, Slashdot, blogs etc). It remembers the pages you had open as well and can start up exactly as you left it without losing anything. But you might find more sites not working as well than you would in Firefox, so I have both for all situations.
Posting as someone who can disappear from the site for a few days at a time (mainly weekdays), I welcome it. Friendly missing-you/how-are-you PMs are good. Ok, so it's not quite the same as not coming on for weeks/months but it's the same point.
ago I had also been out of a 3yr relationship for 6months where she took the pill and we both knew we were clean, and my first time after that I was very nervous again and because of that it actually took me longer, but I can see nerves or just unfamiliarity with the new person being a possible cause. I did use them a few times with the ex, but we both weren't that fond of them. Having to wear them made a difference.
Hope it fixes itself or you find a solution.
Happy anniversary! Is it anniversary month now? Both NN and Sleazy have one biggrin and my year here.. Surely someone elses too.
Quote by kazswallows
Congratulations hun and your year and a bit anniversary

I guess so. When's the presentation (of the certificate)? Can I invite friends (no point inviting family - they already know I'm insane!). Oh do a ceremony... Please! rolleyes biggrin

Quote by markz
off road is a good idea for avoiding speed cameras

Why - planning on doing >60 off road? Are you mad??? biggrin Even >30mph would be ...er... interesting, for proper off-road tracks. Take a spirits mixer with you and give it the best shake it'll get..
Being a Subaru fan and owner, all theirs have all-wheel-drive so you won't slide around (great in snow/the rain/mud), the Forester (or is it Outback?) might be cheaper and certainly a bit less heavyweight than a full land-rover type. Drive very nicely too, the more modern revisions are based on the same chassis as an Impreza (if it's comfortable enough for you) and that's an awesome car and for extra pull the turbo version's pretty damn quick. The only other ones I know anything about are the LandRover/Range Rover which have already been discussed lots, or the Rav4 which is totally just the town run-about for those who want a 4x4 and a bit of a girly one too (excuse the comment but you know what I mean). Fine if that's what you want but is it suitable for your situation?
Range-Rover sport is the top car lots of celebs have been buying up and they liked on Top Gear, you can get it in very bright colours but I suspect that's way out of the budget. Would write more but I'm more a fan of sports cars than 4x4s.

i am hurt now that you never mentioned that you at last met the most fantasic women in ya life!

O well congreats and all that...Debs walks off hangs her head low and mutters

Most fantastic? How well do I know you yet Debs?!... rolleyes Isn't that asking a bit much for one night (the munch, for anyone wanting to read too much into this)! Did I not mention the fun I had at Notts with the lovely people I met and the eye candy (damn... that outfit still emblazoned on my subconscious). Til our next session wink .....

Ok I cleaned this one Eagerslut:

Absolutely spotless as you can see...
Where's the next one?

You missed a bit..!!! Look !
Congrats on the 1year plus 1 week anniversary thingy... you were one of the fellas i first got talking to when i joined last year... and i thought you were an old hand then.... now.... I just remember your Advert withthe red pants! lol
Oi! You conniving so and so! I swear that mark wasn't there earlier! See! Look up! Tut tut... Now get down on your hands and knees and clean it back up to sparklingly new. I've got all these other windows to clean and all you can do is mess up my work here biggrin
Great memories of those evenings soon after you joined, mate - you me and Wishmaster and others. I should never have let you see that ad, it's all you ever mention nowadays! Something you want to admit postie?? :twisted: :shock: :D Yes they are nice I know...

Bugger! Missed my anniversary. Been here a year and a week exactly as I post. What have I done in that time? Well, not so much compared to some of you. Sometimes I've been on here all the time, other times I haven't checked the site or chatroom for a week maybe even two (people who know me will remember a particular period when I vanished for about a month late last year due to personal things); But I have had fun, I still say this is the best site out there. Even more so that it's looked after for free and I don't have to pay extortionate rates every month to keep on it. passionkiss to the mods (and when do I get to shag one of ya? :twisted: biggrin)
Any newbies reading - enjoy yourself, allow time to get to know some people and you'll be glad you signed up a month or two down the line if you're still here.
Any friends I've made - xxxxxx wave :smitten: you're all lovely and to all the great, charismatic, sometimes quirky (like myself), people I've met - a big hug. I just hope my next year brings more fun, many more munches, and even more friends. And a few meets... wink :D
Highlights? Almost-full-english-brekky butties the morning after the first Essex munch (thanks, you know who you are); my first 3-some (again...); the eye-candy and fun had and putting faces to names and meeting at the recent Notts munch (multiple thanks!) and the 2 or 3-odd hrs of sleep the morning after; Wish's birthday party (roll on the next big one... oh sorry is that 50? :twisted: :D); and my days out at Brighton Sun Club.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Sorry all, but I decided it was time to go back OT (that's on- not off-).
Quote by postie
I just look at the subject titles to see if there're any new ones that take my fancy and to check the threads I've been following the previous time I logged on (if I can remember which ones they were). :confused:
Beyond that it's all a bit of a mystery really! dunno
bolt

Exactly the same here..... saved me typing that out ! Ta ES...
I'm a member of the same club - though I am a bit of a post slut, I'll reply to anything if I have something to say on the matter and it's not already been discussed to hell. The bit I'm not good at is starting threads (been here almost a year now and I think about 3 or 4 started?)
Don't care who's on here when I reply, but you can usually tell without looking at the list above the posts - just see who replied to a tonne of them at the top! I almost never unsubscribe from emails to the posts I've contributed to but I don't always keep up with them. The odd one or two reallly interesting ones (come on Dave Notts wheres part 2 of your parachuting story) get subscribed to without a post.
My worst problem is not wanting to hit "Preview". I usually just post, and sometimes end up editing about 3 or 4 times before I'm happy with it (with long ones). By which time everyone's read it already!
I've never been before and I might think about popping down after work on the Friday but not sure if it'll be worth it or what time it goes onto. I see there's a party after the exhibition on the Saturday but don't know if I'd go at the weekend (under consideration). My impression from the site/guess is that it's full of stalls from people with sex products/services/clubs - clothing, bondage etc. and the odd celebrity from the industry and the stage for shows. What kind of atmosphere is it? Do most of the viewing public go dressed up or just in normal streetwear? Will the stalls have special offers as there's a few things I still want to look at/get hold of and it'd be nice to see things in the flesh (or leather/PVC/whatever smile ) rather than just ordering online and not being sure.
You don't say much about what kind of fun you're after - just replying as a fellow Farnhamite. Men or women? Both? Anything in particular you want to do? You'll get better responses if you're more specific.

Here is my question for him:
"Are the complexity classes P and NP equivalent?"

If you want to get a headache, see more here:



Have you just been doing a course in Computing Theory? I remember getting taught (and then soon after, forgetting) that at uni several years ago. Don't ya just love wikipedia though.
My Q would have been (but I'm not posting it to him):
If infinity + 1 is still infinity, doesn't that prove that 1, and therefore by extrapolation, all non-zero numbers, are worthless?
All those pics! I'm really jealous I didn't get on the list (although maybe that means I was?) and get to not-come. Definitely putting my name down for the next non-munch, sounds like so much non-fun I don't think I can bear the wait.
(thankyou, the best laugh I've had for ages. particularly da69ve's pics post - were they unscanned in or taken on a digital non-camera? Maybe these are the only munch pics safe for development at Boots?) rotflmao
I've had a look around the web before for this and put a few links in my bookmarks so I thought I'd share the benefits of my toil with you:

And I might as well put this one in while I'm at it although it's a bit off-topic for this post (but certainly not for the Cafe biggrin ):
(Masturbate for Peace!)
Irish definitely, Scottish too. Have some that don't appeal to me but if I got to know them a bit and fancied them anyway it wouldn't make any difference.
I could mention one evening (at a Madonna concert several years ago) of standing next to an absolutely drop-dead gorgeous blonde who I was all set on trying to chat up when I realised that a) the big well-built bloke standing the other side was her husband (not that it made any difference him being big), and b) she had a very strong Texan accent that just didn't appeal to me.
I remember coming back home one evening after a night out and turning on the TV, flicking through the channels as you do and coming across a girl I used to work with on a dodgy program on five. Actually it was one of those excuses for more titillation type documentaries . Mind you she had said at a work-outing dinner one evening that she was trying to get into modelling and glamour stuff.
That was a little scary.
I would be interested but can't do 2pm, as I'll be bellringing for a wedding or having a test drive in something rather sporty (just for the sake of it). My only previous time in the Eye was at sunset, beautiful and I have some nice pics (although the glass can be dirty in the capsule). I hear it's going to rain on Saturday and be miserable but still warm (20deg C).
Early evening would have been ok. PM me if you change your minds or have any Q's. And no matter what anyone offers I'm not dogging up there! Mind you they couldn't chuck you out til you got back down again biggrin Takes about 45mins if I remember rightly, queue shouldn't be bad at that time of day.
(yeah, I know you're only planning it to be social - well, I expect so)
Before I read this, was just going to say...
Rent a room out with very thin walls and a few couples living above, below and either side... smile
Or go to a similar cheap hotel
On the phone might be a bit trickier to arrange by accident.
Kinky Lizard,
Sorry to break the tradition in this thread but I'm going to try and help. I'm not an astronomer by any means but I do read some scientific mags very occasionally and did get quite interested in it at one point.
I seem to remember that reflectors are cheaper for the equivalent power but bigger and heavier to carry around cos mirros are heavier than the equivalent lenses. But can be supported better in the frame.
Refractors, conversely, are more expensive but smaller, lighter. As they get larger even the professionals are using reflectors 'cos there's only so big you can make a lens without it collapsing under it's own weight, and easier to build with better light transmission (I think? IIRC) with mirrors. Easier to reflect all the light than filter none of it.
If it's only a small one (oo-er.. couldn't help it!), the weight difference won't be so big or so important. Make sure you rate them by amount of light they pick up (measured in some silly unit I can't remember like luminance or er...) not by how much they enlarge things if it's for stargazing, and the quality of the optics. It's no good having it 500x life-size if it's too faint to see through the eye-piece or you can't get it in focus. Stars should always be a point of light by the way if you look through it no matter what enlargement (oo-er again..), any stars that look bigger are the telescope's inaccuracy cos they're just tooooo far away (almost about to quote an early part of HHgttG there). Or they're not stars and much closer. I had a book with some good advice in it somewhere, think it's back my folk's house though.
Also - do you wear glasses? If so you might want to get a corrective dioptre eyepiece for it, if it gets a bit more serious.
Handy links? usually does me proud, and I came across with a quick search - go to the guide section for buyers.
ER... that's about all I can say I'm afraid. Hope you boldly go...
I personally like to hear...
"oh that's so good... don't stop... yes baby yes YES YES!"

Bloody hell mate! :shock: I did and I don't even swing.
Anyone who wants a proper snog next time is welcome to ask. I was too much of a gentleman to try anything at the munch.
Just seen the pics. I totally missed the smurfs! Had wondered wtf everyone was on about. Mind you did anyone escape from them without getting the slightest bit blue (and I mean colour! oi!) biggrin
postie - mm... Miranda Krestovnikoff.. not bad. A complete unknown til you mentioned her. Doesn't come high enough on the radar bounce-back for me though I'm afraid.
Alyson Hannigan - definitely rather hot.

I missed part of that episode damnit. Rushed in to watch it about half-way through after a late day at work (I would have watched it anyway) and was glued to the TV til it finished (no, not literally, ya pervs!... eurgh!)
Davina McCall is a very cool person, and kinda hot. I always remember watching Streetmate and wanting to be on it and have her go ask the girls if they wanted a date. Would have been flirting with her the whole time.
Other posters wanted at various times: Victoria Silvstedt, Kelly Brook (mmmmm....), Carmen Elektra, Sharon Stone (no, wait, actually I had one of her). Had a Louise (Redknapp, ex "Eternal") one too now I remember, was up for a while after "Naked" came out... Ooh that Top of the Pops performance... Blue bikini top or something? Anyway, I diverge...
