king piece of st it is. I suspect this applies to most Mac computers. It's slow and all the main Microsoft applications have limited functionality compared to the Windows versions. The seven year old PC that I'm typing this on now is fking quicker than my work Mac. All I've done to my old PC is recently upgrade the RAM and yet it's quicker than said Mac that's less than a year old!
Careful mate you'll have all the Apple fan boys coming out in a rash if you keep that sort of talk up.king piece of st it is. I suspect this applies to most Mac computers.

All I've done to my old PC is recently upgrade the RAM and yet it's quicker than said Mac that's less than a year old!I find that work machines, when they use a "standard" build are often slower and clunkier than their cleaner build brethren. I have a work i5 quad core jobbie with Windows 7 that is fussy, clunky, slow and generally st.
My old, alternate, laptop is a 2.16 ghz core 2 duo with Windows 7 that is faster, more servicable and runs Lightroom far better than the faster, newer one.
As it happens, the older laptop is a Macbook - Just to make Mac people's head spin - OSX Lion just isn't up to it these days

Turning out of my local road this morning only to find that a major B road near me has been closed and all traffic has no idea where to go causing a 45 minute detour to try and get back to where I was going in the first place, Not a single notice anywhere of planed road closures 
Maybe it wasn't planned? Maybe floods overnight etc have closed it - obv depending on where you live. (Me? Essex/Suffolk, roads were flooded)http://roadworks.org/
Shows upcoming planned works.

Would have been nice to forewarn us by a sign of some sort i know for a silly reaosn its legal to drive around residental areas on only your sidelights at night but it gets on my nerves.
Cycling to the gym today a woman in a corsa A behind me, overtook me with just her sidelights on. I barely noticed her among another vehicle using dipped beam behind her. Caught up to her down the road and told her to use the dipped beam. She's a woman and and also had 'P' plates so a double wammy in terms of knowing nothing. Told her to use dipped beam next time. her excuse 'ohh I don't want to blind anyone in front on full beam'. she obviously didn't understand the difference.

5pm yesterday... it's dark already... I press the button at the crossing, the lights changed, two lanes of traffic stop, I step into the road and nearly get hit by the unlit cyclist dressed in dark clothes running the red light...
I know its a stereotypical cliché and I would have let it go, except she shouted at ME to "look where the fk you're walking!"

warfilm american GI's with helmet straps undone = dont mind if they die
strap undone and holding hand on helmet whilst explosions happen = want them to die in next scene ASAP
Do the strap up you sloppy knobcake.

Do the strap up you sloppy knobcake.
supposedly the strap could cause injury if an explosion went off nearby, pushing the helmet up and could break their neck
they left them undone deliberately
later the army developed new straps that would open under such force, but too late for ww2

I wonder how much damage would be done to an unprotected head by an explosion energetic enough to break your neck by blowing a hat off. supposedly the strap could cause injury if an explosion went off nearby, pushing the helmet up and could break their neck

Quite a lot I suspect.
But then I have no data. I feel an experiment coming on...

Conspiracy theorists who can't make their minds up 
NASA faked the moon landings, but also carried out secret manned landings on Mars

The story above has SO many holes in it - for a start Viking wasn't a rover, and it didn't carry a camera capable of capturing moving images

Mr Muppet: think of the helmet as sacrificial. The head isn't unprotected, it took the force of the blow but not the head with it
