Not sure what this guy was trying to accomplish, but at least he kept his Darwin award to himself.

Spot the difference.

Now the main problem for coding is gone... the unchristian cursing because of the laptop keyboard layout.

What about the cursing about empty batteries or the cursing about the keyboard losing its connection/connecting with the PC five meters away?:lol:

And am I thinking to easy or wouldn't it be possible to make a symetric USB connection? USB ports are to me like parking spots were for my mother, you see them, you decide to park there and then you have to maneuver until you get annoyed.
One of the reasons why I've never liked cars, I guess.

No such problem so far. The keyboard has a good battery charge indicator (not the single red LED: Write one last sentence to your girlfriend and then change the completely dry batteries). And the wireless connection even penetrates the 2.0 cm thick wooden table. Something that the previous keyboard failed. Will test it over the 3 m distance between TV and couch soon... after all, a 40" LED TV is not that different to a 40" 1920x1080 screen.

Just understood how to move the pivot point of an object in Anim8tor and how to use it. I'm out of prehistory.

Ugh. So sad.

I really hope they don't find out he was a CoD:Modern Warfare player (walking into an airport with an assault rifle = scene from MW2), because that will bring the whole video game violence debate back to the forefront again.

(walking into an airport with an assault rifle = scene from MW2)

Nope, that was a M240 machine gun, which had a competition with the M60, the machine gun used by John Rambo, if it gets introduced in the US Army.

Usually detailed facts are enough to make your oponent look stupid although I've never tested this one so you should be careful.:shifty:

If we are talking about detailled facts being enough to make your opponent look stupid:

I want one.

I wasn't actually referring to the gun in the game being an assault rifle. Probably should have rephrased it better, maybe [this guy walking into an airport with an assault rifle = very similar to a scene in MW2]. That's more the point I was trying to make.

Either way. Po-tay-toe, po-tah-toe.

just that

I'm for a Jump and Run/Mario version where you play a tax evader *cough* Romney *cough* who has to get through the levels without getting caught by the FBI while collecting more and more coins.
And then you're in a castle...uh island state but then they make a tax agreement with the US so: "Sorry Mister, your tax haven is on another island!"

Damn that actually sounds fun and instead of Bowser we can include Steinbrück as the boss.:lol:

The M60 was around (and in use) long before the 240.

 

[MattBaker]

The M60 was around (and in use) long before the 240.

But when they had to find a replacement for mounted machine guns in the 70s after the M73E2, also called M219, was quite troublesome they had a competition between the M240, the old M219 and E2 version of the M60.
And there the M240 won because it could fire more rounds without failure.

Therefore Belgian guns>American guns.

I think these explanation videos are really neat.

Bayern vs Dortmund 1:1, so we're all Champions League winners!
I just wonder why nobody came to my CL final celebration.:uhh:

That was just the wet dress rehearsal. And as you had seen, with a lot to discuss before the show starts.

I guess Bayern found a failure in the substitute security valve of the right booster?

I remember this day that the first EF5 tornado hit Greensburg and leveled nearly 95% of the entire town... :shifty:
