Quote from Jakg :Jesus Christ.

Ugliest Facebook user. Ever.



Look at them!

Jakg=EPIC FAIL

This has got to be the best looking pic on ANY social networking site anywhere! This guy oozes that special magic that girls go crazy for, and men are jealous of!
Maturity, good looks, glasses showing intelligence....
Jeez..I wish I looked as good as that!



oops...just realised...I DO!!!

Wonder what Jakg sees when he views this thread...a pic of himself, no doubt!
In case he doesn't, here's a spare I found earlier

Quote from Gai-Luron :
Pubstat is a string! Quote it!

$PubStatIdk = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

I was having problems with this as well...then I noticed the "$" sign before the string...this is NOT shown in the cfg file that came with the latest release!

Another query, when trying to synchronise PB.TXT files, must we create a folder called "synchro" or is it created automagically? I f we have to create it, where should it be in the directory structure?

Quote from birder :A Nutter goes to an LFS lan party to prove he was the best.

After being beaten he pulls out a gun and says to the first player

"Are you better at LFS than me", the player says "yes" and the nutter shoots him dead

He asks the next player "Are you better at LFS than me", the player says "yes" and the nutter shoots him dead

He ask the third player "Are you better at LFS than me", the player smiles and says "No, but my wife is..............."

Wheres the next LAN party...and can I bring MY wife please??

Sounds like a good plan Greg...a little bit of military discipline can work wonders.. I found out through MY time in the services that the main lesson you learn is Self-Respect!
Once that hurdle has been overcome, the rest falls into place easily.
I just wish we had similar programs for some of the toe-rags in the UK, but with one difference...it would be compulsory!

Good luck mate!

Quote from thisnameistaken :.... it's not really a shocker that the people of Knightsbridge and Chelsea don't go out stabbing people, is it? ....

Precisely, so don't be surprised that the police stop&search more people in Brixton!!
THAT is what I am getting at!
As Andy quite rightly stated..."The majority of the crimes are committed by a minority of people"
If any of you had the choice of having a night out in Oxford, how many of you would choose to drink in The Blackbird, and how many would choose a different pub? Statistically speaking you have a 1 in 3 chance of getting out in one piece if you are not a 'native' of the area...it is almost a no-go area after dark for the police..although they wont admit to it...if they DO have to go in, they always go in heavy! Why? Because they HAVE to!
Do not forget, this is OXFORD I'm talking about...a 'nice' posh town (supposedly) full of rich white middle-class lib-dem Gruadian & Independant readers, yet we have the same problems as the rest of the country.

Quote from sinbad :If knife crimes are committed largely by white people, or in areas predominantly inhabited by white people, then I would be very concerned if it was 7x more black people than white people, or indeed even if it was a 50:50 ratio of white to black searches.
I don't think that is the case though. In this age in which we fear being labelled racist more than pretty much anything and walk on eggshells because there are plenty that will accuse us if we even come close, I serious doubt the police would maintain those stop and search statistics without just cause.

The wrong thing to do is to change the way they work because of the race issue. It would, in fact, be racist.

1000% agree...there is far more 'knife crime' in areas suck as Southhall, Brixton, Peckham etc than in Knightsbidge or Chelsea... the fact is, the police KNOW where the problem areas are, and target those specific areas. It is hardly the fault of the police that these aforementioned areas are predominantly peopled by "Ethnic Minorities"!

As for "The Day that I DO Have Something To Hide"..well if I get nicked, thats my own stupid fault! I wont blame the copper that felt my collar..RULE ONE of any crime..DONT GET CAUGHT!
Don't think that I have always been a fine upstanding member of society...in MY younger years I was ALWAYS getting pulled...mainly because plod knew that I was always up to something naughty..they just couldn't find out what

Quote from danowat :You got any proof of this?

Yep..I just look at the "problem" areas of Oxford...Guess what.. Problem areas= High proportion of single parent families where the main "declared" source of income is the State.
Further proof... approx 80%-85% of the "problem kids" in my daughters school come from...lets see..ahh, yes, single parent families!

Dont get me wrong, I am NOT saying that all single parent families are bad, what i am saying is that there is more likelihood of a problem child coming from a one-parent family than from a two-parent family.
I was listening on the radio to kids from deprived areas of London on the causes, and even THEY admitted that the lack of a father-figure was a major factor in the rise of youth crime.

Quote from danowat :It's the parents, IMO, responsibility for "yoofs" should start and end there.

Sorry to contradict Dan, but I am willing to bet my mortgage that in more than 80% of the "yoofs" with problems, the word is PARENT (singular!)
The vast majority of these kids come from homes with absent (or, in some cases) completely unknown fathers, bought up by women who would rather spend time out on the pull/on the pi$$/shooting dope than caring what their kids are doing.
I know that there are MANY single parents who do a remarkable job of bringing their kids up properly, but the ones that don't are the ones that hit the headlines.
The plod can stop and search me 3 times a day for a month and I wouldn't care...why should I; I have nothing to hide.. it only takes a minute or two, but at least it would prove that the police actually WANT to do something about it!

Quote from wark :But when an event in my country makes people in your country go to war....

er...read ANY news in the last 4 years??? WTF do YOU think we are doing in IRAQ??????
Forgive me if I sound cynical, but it seems to me that anything that happens OUTSIDE The Land of the Fee doesn't count!
OK, maybe the scale was different, but the impact to the local population was just as significant.

My sympathies to the families and the survivors.
I was driving a bus in London on that day, and I will never forget..it could just have easily been me.

Quote from Ian.H :What about gaming, FTP.. whatever.. nothing to worry about / consider. Simplified:


Bittorrent packets: ABC123AABB321
Gaming packets: A1B2C3D4E5F6


Hence the term 'deep packet'. They're not just looking at "this user is uploading.. he must be seeding illegal software"... they're looking at _what_ data you're sharing and going on that.



Regards,

Ian

But...what effect (if any) would using Protocol Encryption - which is an option in uTorrent - to "hide" the content of your uploads

Quote from Bob Smith :
More to the topic, retests should be manadatory, and get closer together as you get older.

Cant disagree..if you cannot pass a test then you shouldn't be on the road.


Quote from Bob Smith : you should remove yourself from the road at a certain age, even if you think you're still driving alright.

Please define "A CERTAIN AGE"

Example, my 76yr old father still drives a 38ft Fleetwood RV, as well as a Kangoo that he drags around behind it for short runs etc... He is STILL a very good driver, and the only accident he has been involved in during the last TWENTY years was when a KID of 22 lost control of his Corsa on a roundabout and broadsided my Dads Fleetwood!

I know a guy (I work with him TBH) who recently got his award for THIRTY EIGHT YEARS driving without an accident for which he was responsible. This guy drives an AVERAGE of 1500 miles per week.

He is 64.

Older drivers are not necessarily BAD drivers, the problem is, stupid boy-racer kids that OD on reruns of Fast and teh Furious THINK that anybody who "dares" to CRAWL along at 30mph (in a 30mph limit!) instead of letting teh VTEC or teh Turbo'z cut in and do 70 should be shot.

If they ( the Euro Parliament) REALLY believed in Democracy, then they should throw it open to a referendum in EVERY member state, and THEN we could/would accept a majority decision.
Unfortunately for us, they do not possess the balls to let it be decided democratically, because they know that they would lose!
As I stated earlier in this thread, they are determined to shove it down our throats whether we like it or not.
And then, they have the audacity to wonder why Nationalism is on the rise throughout Europe, don't these idiots realise where this COULD lead???

The biggest problem with communism is that NO COUNTRY has ever fully embraced the concept....in every so-called communist country there are always some people who are more equal than others.
Basic human nature is against the very concept of communism, as we (homo sapiens) are genetically programmed to follow those who are stronger/faster/better etc (Note: I'm not saying that prats like Brown and Bush etc are any 'better'...they just fought their way to the top by one means or another...).. just a case of survival of the fittest, basic Darwinism at work.
This doesn't stop everybody aspiring to be the top dog, head honcho, bossman whatever, so true communism can never work.

Old drivers have proved that they can drive by managing to stay alive long enough to BECOME an old driver!

OK..I am OLD...but I am a member of the IAM, got HGV, PSV, and a shit load of other driving qualifications...
If anybody (and I mean ANYBODY!) drives my car in what I consider to be an unsafe manner, I let them know.
Statement: You were going round a bend at 50 mph and hitting the apex...well done...what RACETRACK was that on?
Or maybe you have magic eyes that can see round a bend before you get to it...what happens if you hit the apex only to find that there is a twat coming the other way that has taken the bend a bit wide...or if the apex is on the left, what if there is a cyclist/pedestrian walking along the road?

Example..other day I'm driving home from work...window down, radio full blast, 50 mph (in a 50mph limit!) when I get overtaken on a blind approach to the summit of a hill by some toerag in a VXR doing about 80+...big deal...there was something coming over the top of the hill who had to swerve into the verge to avoid him, I had to brake HEAVILY to let him in...the c**t could quite easily have taken both of us out!
FYI..the road there can be taken at 100+..I know because I have done it myself (on my bike!) but its everything else that must be taken into account at the time...30 mph may be dangerous on exactly the same stretch of road that at times is capable of being driven at 100+
