I got through ~5 pairs of CX-300s over a few years. Not sure if they were fake (had heard stories of fakes floating around the internet) but had enough and got a pair of these Denons. Had no trouble since, can’t say they’re any better or worse than the Sennheisers soundwise, I’m happy.

The only reason I stick with Apple is because of the keyboard.

There are plenty of iOS style keyboards available for Android store, now unshackle yourself!

1994. No one died.
1995. No one died.
1996. No one died.
1997. No one died.
1998. Someone died.

Sounds to me like you need to be a bit less careful. Imagine if you actually were the kind of inconsiderate person he’s claiming you to be. Would you care about him or his peace? Would you be posting this? Would you be bothered? I don’t think you would, because you’d be the kind of person we like to complain about as well meaning members of society. Essentially you’re trapped by your well meaning attitude. Unfortunately it isn’t solving the situation. So, stuff him. Ignore him. Keep your log, don’t do anything that authorities can chastise you for, keep your nose clean but just stop giving a monkeys about him. Tell him to direct correspondence to your mediator. You don’t want anything to do with him.

No matter how much procrastination tempts you, don’t take it apart tonight. We don’t know if it’ll die, just that statistically it has a reduced lifespan. Seeing as it’s already old… When the CPU gets hotter than its threshold, it’ll throttle down its frequency. If it’s too hot, it’ll turn off. I’ve had pentium 4s last three cycles of “Why is it turning itself off?” “Oh, the heatsink isn’t on right” and carry on working (this was at a netburst tastic 4.12GHz) I saw 115*C in the bios!
:D

HELLO EVERYONE :)

My mind is relative. It likes to compare things to other things to get a grasp of what’s happening. Depression suppressed any good aspects of anything and exaggreatted the bad. I would then get lost in my mind, focussing only on the bad and spiralling deeper and deeper into this irrational world I created in my head where everything was bad. This would happen in the car. On the bus. On the sofa next to someone I love. At the pub. Halfway along some singletrack. I wouldn’t even notice it was happening.

I would drift through my days in this daze. I thought ‘other people aren’t like this’. I realised I was depressed.

Although my mind is the gateway through which I experience everything, it isn’t the only thing in the world: Food and sleep are necessary. Forcing myself to eat and sleep was my number one priority. No matter what happened in my mind, I needed to eat and sleep.
This gave me something absolute, a grounding, something solid against which I could fight any bad thoughts.

I realised I was wrong, there were other people like this. There were other people who were depressed, and a lot of them are doing very well.
I read Simonofbarns(?) mentioning CBT on here. I looked into it, but I could never find any ‘instructions’.
I started reading classic philosophical novels and opened my eyes to the fact that there are so many different ways of looking at the world. There isn’t one fixed viewpoint, there are hundreds. I considered lots of them – but I wasn’t searching for the right ‘religion’, ‘life philosophy’, or ‘spirituality’. I just realised that there is more than one way to look at the world. Having depression tinge everything wasn’t the only way.

So, I began to fight it. Everytime I realised I was having depressed thoughts, I would pause and tell myself that a depressed outlook was no more valid than a happy one – I was simply having depressed thoughts. I would then reconsider the good aspects. Try and see them through the depressed fog. But as I mentioned before, I would slip into this depression without even realising it, so spotting that it was happening was the hardest part. It still is.

Once I spot it though, I’m fine. I bring myself out of it by reminding myself that I need to be my own friend.

Basically, it’s unlikely any of the above will work for you, but I found that taking the time to examine myself and the thoughts I was having worked very well.
Hope that helps

So I got that Nexus 4 you were all harping on about.
It’s really good.
Thank you all for your kind suggestions. There’s nothing better* than watching 80s action films while your mate gets the rounds in at a club, especially when the lack of sound isn’t an issue because you know all the one liners.
*YMMV

Thanks again

Nope, underlined as ever

Talk to him about it, find out why he did it and why he thought three punches was enough. Then explain self defence etc… It’s his intent that’s far more important.

I would rather be thought of someone who wouldn’t hurt a fly than someone who can kick the crap out of someone.

Just as long as it’s attention, eh Moley? ;)

there was a chap in a black hoodie who had the fright of his life. Oh and the middle eastern looking chaps who got dragged out of a cab at gun point in downtown Boston.

Link me!

I’m glad there weren’t any stories of people being arrested because they chose not to obey the lockdown. When that happens, we have a problem.

I think some teles will do it but I’m using a Raspberry Pi for double nerd points

Good lad. How’s it sound?

>>You’re just going to shout NEXUS 4 at me aren’t you? Is it any good?

>Yep. Yep.
Phwoar! You got one Cougar? What’s the nerdiest thing you’ve done with it?

I don’t think you can do anything cool with them, just nerdy stuff. I use mine to control iPlayer or ping youyube videos to the tele

Nerdy stuff is more than welcome – are you using a smart TV for that or a seperate set top box / media PC?

You don’t need a smartphone for that. According to recent scientific research you just need big genitalia.

Phew!

How easy is it to get an app I’ve written onto a Nexus 4?

Do you require 4 cores in the virtual machine? Are you specifically using multithreaded apps? I’d stick to 1 or 2 CPU cores.

HAARP, innit ;)

Causes cancer, dunnit!

If a driver is trying to overtake you, maintain a steady course and speed, slowing down if necessary to let the vehicle pass.

I’m arguing against the dicks who barge past anyway without bothering to wait to see if I’m interested in going.

Have you ever waited to overtake a lorry, had someone overtake you and the lorry, and followed them past the lorry? Or is that a danger explosion?

Bollocks to the lot of ’em

Based on the colour of their skin? Careful now…

…and ‘make progress’? WTF?

‘Making progress’ is that thing that causes you to fail a driving test when you sit behind a bus at 35 mph in a 60mph limit when it’s safe to overtake. It’s right there on the test marking sheet:
“Progress – Undue hesitation, use of speed’

I might even be the guy doing 40mph.

But do you make it dangerous for people to overtake you if they want to?

They’re both silly mistakes to me – unless the driver had a motive to intentionally damage the helmet, or the helmet owner had a motive to intentionally damage the vehicle.
I hope they both apologised to each other.

You don’t think of a tablet as a mobile device? Determined to swim against the flow aren’t you?

Actually, I’m inclined to think that he’s ahead of the flow here. Consider Apple: they seem to be merging iOS with OSX. The hardware in some tablets is now comparable to home desktops from 5 years ago, with x86 tablets running full Windows OSs being released. In my oppinion, There’s less and less reason for App Ecosystems, other than centralised distribution for lots of developers allowing a skim of revenue to land straight in Apple / Google /whoever’s pocket, and control over content.

By the way, it works in firefox too – don’t feel left out!

All that money and it’s not even a Platinum card?

When are the Butchers open round your way?

Teh Ladies.

Seems to me like a cleverdick has been exposed for being just that.

What’s wrong with being a cleverdick?

So, having had more than 187 espressos, I’m dead now? Or do they have to come from a plastic container with a made up word on the side of it?

Cheers for the suggestions all,
time to load up a few maps and put some ideas to him…

Erm, not a big sports fan, sportsfan.
I’m going to say Bernie Ecclestone [kinda counts, right?] – I really am that infuriating.

Hey,
Here’s some attention
Now TELL US SOME MORE!

Sorry JY, It’s already over, nothing to see here…

Well, I’m disappointed.

**** me,the kid got shot in the head,don’t you think she deserves a break

yeah possibly…

Says it all really :)

It’s all right, we love a troll

It makes me proud to be British.

They make noises when you turn them on, and stop themselves from heating up if the ambient temperature is outside of their operating limits.
They look like they’re Kashima coated, too.
Pretty manly.

Stop being introspective. If you can think about yourself, you’re not working hard enough.

Only one she could brig herself to tell me was “Oh, Oh, Oh, To TOuch A Girl’s Vagina”

There’s a bit more to that one… ;)

To a greater or lesser extent, followers are usually encouraged to spread the word and to procreate as much as possible in order to create the next generation of true believers.

Crikey, Cougar, that’s a very low opinion of mankind.
I don’t see how, can you explain please?
