Random Thoughts II

[Haydos]

You can't get the upperhand because most of the time, even if my opinion is different to yours, it is well formulated and informed.

Stubborn doesn't come into it, stubborn is someone who changes his view every five seconds to continue an argument - I'm like a sledge hammer, pounding the same tune out since Feb 08.

[DrTiTus]

Any minute now he's going to start referring to himself in the 3rd person, as though he's some sort of hero.

[Lightspeed]

Lightspeed is the only hero around here!

[Haydos]

Lightspeed is a stinking piece of monkey douche who can't remain consistent to a point and uses semantics as one of his chief argument weapons.

Haydos however, in Haydos we trust.

Don't listen to those other two d-bags.

JP is a man you can trust. While his intellect and physique are astounding, perhaps godlike, he is also extremely humble. Unlike those other 'elitist' jerks.

Hrm I'm surprised it's not on here yet. I thought it'd be big news.

There seems to be an absent on nzgames about a certain ornithological piece. A headline regarding mass awareness of a certain avian variety. Oh, have you not heard? It was my understanding that everyone had heard.

[Lightspeed]

Whut?

[p01s0n]

[Peter, Stewie and Brian are sitting at the kitchen table. Brian is reading a newspaper]
Peter: Brian, can I see that paper for a second? [Brian hands him the paper] Huh, that's odd. I thought that would be big news.
Brian: You thought what would be big news?
Peter: Well, there seems to be an absence of a certain ornithological piece. A headline regarding mass awareness of a certain avian variety.
Brian: What are you talking about?
Peter: Oh, have you not heard? It was my understanding that everyone had heard...
Brian: Heard what?
Stewie: Brian, don't! [Peter puts the record on and starts dancing and singing]
Peter: A-well-a bird-bird-bird, b-bird's the word,
A-well-a bird-bird-bird, b-bird's the word,
A-well-a bird-bird-bird, b-bird's the word,
A-well-a bird-bird-bird, b-bird's the word,
A-Brian, don't you know, about the bird?
Well, Peter's gonna tell you about the bird!
A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird's the word,
A-well-a bird. Surfin'-- [Peter starts blubbering along with the song, with eventually turns into a seisure-like fit]
Brian: Oh my God, Peter, are you alright?
Peter: Pa-pa-pa ooma-mow-mow, [gets up and starts dancing again] pa-pa oomow-ma-mow,
Pa-pa-pa ooma-mow-mow, pa-pa oomow-ma-mow,
Pa-pa-pa ooma-mow-mow, pa-pa oomow-ma-mow... [Peter continues as Brian leaves. Stewie is shown with a blank expression on his face. He then pulls a gun out and puts it to his mouth]

Army specialists are being called in to help car wreckers dispose of airbags because of the explosive charge contained in them

By law, the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Squadron has to be used because of the explosive device in the bags.

Anything classed as an explosive device cannot just be treated at the wreckers, but must be discharged by a specialist.

The squadron's Major Nick Bowden said newer models of cars containing airbags usually ended up at the wreckers after a crash, when the airbags had already deployed.

But it seemed the first wave of cars that had not had the airbags inflated were now turning up.

"I guess because airbags have been in cars now for a period of time, we're starting to see those cars now come through the disposal system - and so it's really only hitting our radar now,'' he told Radio New Zealand.

There was a possibility the Environmental Risk Management Authority (Erma) could give people licences to do the work, he said.

that surprises me

Nikkei is getting OWNED beyond belief atm. Down over 10% and still dropping.

I assumed they had a circuit breaker like the US where a 10% drop meant trading suspended for the rest of the day, but apparently not...

[Cyberbob]

Can someone explain freezing for the rest of the day to me?

Whats the point in telling people they can't trade shares for the rest of the day.. they're just going to wait until opening the next day aren't they?
Then that day's going to be affected too.

[Baal]

Usually they freeze shares after a major announcement so everyone trading is on an even footing.

Or in the case of a massive drop so everyone gets a chance to calm the fuck down and not freak out and make a bunch of stupid uninformed trades.

id assume alot of trading happens automatically... if something happens, do this... if something else happens, do this... the freeze would be to stop something becoming an avalanche...

It's psychological, I think. Large drops over short periods of time can cause stupid emotional humans to panic and do dumb things to make the problem worse.

[Cyberbob]

Ah yes.

Also known as "driven by sentiment" aka "my god something awful is going to happen.. we lost everything.. shall i jump out of the window? yes, lets all jump out of the window!"

I call lies, a girl going through 200 orgasms in a day would have a far more toned appearance than that chubby little temptress.

Global Secure Systems has said that a Russian's firm's use of the latest NVidia graphics cards to accelerate WiFi ‘password recovery' times by up to an astonishing 10,000 per cent proves that WiFi's WPA and WPA2 encryption systems are no longer enough to protect wireless data.

if thats true, could cause some interesting problems

Doesn't look like it'd make it over the harbour bridge.
