On my pc I have a basic logitech webcam, with software for it to be a motion sensor, a camera for animations and time lapses (like when a flower opens really quickly, a picture every x amount of time) and a normal camera and a webcam obviously!
Plus I have a deskjet 960c laser printer.
And finally I have a 6 speaker 3d surround sounds system including a sub woofer/head thingy! (the thing that controls everything else! It's well good for watching films!
Hello Mr Martini, nice to see you on our topic!
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and everyone dies.
What happened people? This topic was was far near the back. I've haven't been able to post because of study, and final exams. Who else has to take the dreaded SAT?
Hey I had them last week! Mine are only the year 9 SATs but they are still horrible! I don't see the point in them either, oh well! I discovered a load more Beatles songs, like while my guitar gently weeps and blackbird!
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and everyone dies.
I'm only a Sophomore, so I don't take it for a while yet. I plan to take the preparation class before I take it. I'll probably be taking that sometime in my Junior or Senior year.
What about state/official/whatever-they-are-called tests? Who has had to take any of those recently? I just had to take the science test, which, by the way, I passed with flying colors!!
I think life (inside and out of Bond related news) has gotten more boring, not to say there's nothing happening in the world!
What does everyone think about these prisoners in Iraq being abused?!

As an American I must say we shouldn't be there. Let's pull out and go home. As for the abuse, each and every person involved should be thrown in jail and forgoten about. I mean Iraqi's are people to.
Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
I think both the Brits and the Americans have been rather big headed about it all.
We thought that we could just strole in there, overthrow the regeim and be back in time for tea. And everyone would be like "oh thanks sooo much life is so free and easy now" like in some cheesey movie! Well we sure are red now eh?

I guess I'll have to step in here, since no one else will . . . .
If we were to pull out of Iraq now, there really would be total chaos. The last thing we want to do now is pull out, now. The country is not ready to take care of itself. The terrorists would take Iraq over again, and they wouldn't be too pleased with us, if you know what I mean. If we pull out now, that's asking for another 9/11. That's why we need to remove the last of Saddam's people and stay there until Iraq can actually stand on its feet. We will all be much safer when some of the worst scum of the Earth is wiped from its face and when Iraq is finally free.
As for the Iraqi prisoner abuse, I agree. All the ones who participated in the ridiculous prisoner abuse should pay for it. All that mess was completely uncalled for. So it is only fitting that the ones responsible should get some form of serious punishment.
And quite frankly, we were the ones who messed it up, we should stay right where we are and sort it out!
On a lighter subject! My friend went to see Troy the other day, he said it was brilliant, if you ask me it looks like a pile of dog poo. Anyone seen it? Oh and what about the Day After Tomorrow, that looks amazing!
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and everyone dies.
Well, I'm not going to compare "Troy" to "The Lord of the Rings", because first of all, I despise all of the LOTR films. Secondly, "Troy" has Brad Pitt/Orlando Bloom starring as the two main characters - so we already know that it is going to be awful.
But I'll say "Troy" seems better, simply because Julian Glover is also in it. So there is some talent within the film at least.
As for "Die Another Day" being 'crap', in certain parts yes, I agree. But this film is extremely strong in other areas. It probably ranks about tenth out of all of the Bond films for me. There are some good sets and characters in the film. Cough *Rosamund Pike* Cough...
yes we all know your in love with her! The major problems I had with it was how unrealistic it was.
I think I wouldnt like Troy cos it looks like its taken way out of proportion and exagerrated etc, and historically incorrect! I think thats what it looks like!

Well Tripitz asked me to keep the topic going until his return so that I will do.
I've uploaded a new photo (hense the change) its a rather good one of Yoda (from Ep. 2) when he's about to fight Darth Tiranus (sp?). I don't need to Pm anyone do I? As far as I remember Si said the mods are noted of it automatically. What (if anything) am I supposed to do?!

I had a delicious pizza the other day at a place called Cafe Uno in Farnham. It was BBQ chicken, had the nicest sauce, mmmmm. I'm salivating at the thought!

So the topic is food. Jedi brought up Pizza and now I'm thinking Pizza. San Remos Pizzeria and Italian Eatery in San Carlos California. The best Pizza you've ever had. It's been run by the same family for 40 plus years. Oh man, going there my next day off. I'm craving now.
Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
You folks across the pond must know the resturant?! I went to one while i was in California for a school trip skiing! They had the nicest burgers I have ever had!! My history teacher said there was nothing special about them "just a burger" but I beg to differ!

Ah yes, In-N-Out. Best burger ever. Tell your teacher that a California man concurs with you. It's not "just a burger".

Oooo Random chat, nothing like randomly just saying something. Now only if I had something to say. By the way, is anyone here familiar with the bond that never made it. I was reading an article on a guy hired as a Bond, but ended up never making it into the movies after all. In the middle of my article I got called to work and when I returned my magizine was gone....
Ouch, that'd annoy me. No I've never heard of that sorry!
I was just wondering something random, do England, Scottland, Wales and Northern Ireland all have their own armies or just one UK army? Or perhaps Wales, Scottland and England have a British army, can anyone answer my question?

its the same army. britain is still technically a unitary state, after the recent referendums scotland and wales received their own assemblies but are still controlled by westminster as their new delvolved powers can be retracted at any time.
Quoting The Communist:
Yes thats correct. They all possess seperate divisions but are all controlled by The untied kingdom and should be used together for one purpose.
(sorry i study politics to) it is a matter of intrigue
good to know im not the only one! people's eyes tend to glaze over when i start to talk politics!
I just thought I would post this here under random chat.
I can see I have 3 private messages in, but I can't get to them because when I log in, I immediately get logged out when I try to move to the next screen. I can post, but I can't retrieve my private messages.
So I don't want those of you who left me a PM to think I'm rude by not responding. I just can't

Perhaps you should post your problem for Si to answer in the Help and Suggestions forum.

I've just got back from buying a new trumpet, was very good! A Yamaha 4335L, £350 which is about $700 I think, just under.
They had trumpets in the there for about £1500!
I'm still getting used to it at the moment but I think it will sound much better!
