Re: Friend's kid needs votes for his monster

This creature is called Chemicrow. It is a mutant creature that evoled from a crow - because of stuff like the oil spills and all the chemicals that go into our air - these are the types of birds we will be seeing in the future if we don't take care of the planet. Chemicrow lives in mostly in Canad...

Re: Need a new PC, but not sure of best option

Could be a resonance effect. So instead of hunting a imperfect mechanical insulation you could try changing the idle rpm of your fan slightly. Not nice, but should work.

Re: Animal rights and sexuality discussion (no connection)

Finally had some time to continue this and ended up with a lenghty thing noone would read. It's a sad thing in general these kind of discussions leave behind the points of common agreement. So I started to compress it and kicked out most of the research done on human evolution. As usual I'm using my...

What you could try out next time you're gathering for a game on the big screen, is watching some B-movie trailers.

Hehe, sounds like great fun! :-)

Vividly I remember those Oil Imperium sessions after school.
We played it on an old oscilloscope with a thiny b/w screen, having terrible (not drug induced ;-)) headaches afterwards.

So, yesterday has been the big day. According to our lawyer it should have taken less than a hour for the judge to decide in such a clear case. It took 4, and there will be at least 2 other dates.
