On that note;

That sinking feeling you get when you've had a perfect run in XCOM for a couple of months and everything seems to go your way because you -know- the game is plotting your untimely doom.

I have never really understood universities teaching programming - its usually terrible for one thing in terms of outdated or impractical techniques (since decent coders do not make lecturers and vice versa) and for the other it will take realistically 2 years of employment as a coder before you are really earning your keep.

Better off teaching you database design or other bite sized bits n pieces tbh.

agree so bad. according to a coder dude I had a chat with recently our school is actually one of the better ones as well. the mind...boggles 0o

Is that a confession?

Self-loathing is a terrible thing.

megadave is only actually 6 years old. True fact.

Chewing gum in my ashtray.

Chewing gum in my ashtray.

You have a big ashtray to chew gum in

 

[Raven]

The fact that I am bloody hungry and the gammon will take another half hour to cook!

logging in remotely to work, and getting a "fresh" VM that then proceeds to install every bit of software that ever was

Chewing gum in my ashtray.

And in the holders on machines in the gym. Foul!

Cheap coffee.

The HTC One not having a removable memory card

I'd buy the phone tomorrow morning otherwise.

So if I want to copy, say, 6 Gigs from my old phone to the HTC One, to do it wirelessly is going to take a couple of hours with my crappy broadband. Otherwise, its a case of moving my 6 from the S2 to my PC, then connecting the One via USB (does it even have a USB slot?) to my PC and copy it over.

Anyone got the One who can reassure me I'm talking bollox pls. Really like the phone.

 

[TdC]

I have the one X and it's awesaaaam bra.

 

[Lamp]

Thats like saying, "No, we're not going to have Turkey for Christmas. This year we're having a Yugoslavian mouse with a broken knee"

OK. That was silly.

There is no Yugoslavia.

 

[TdC]

Mice have knees? 0o

 

[Lamp]

Yes. You can order them in any Chinese restaurant. They're just not on the menu.

 

[TdC]

also...just how much data do you keep on your phone anyway? I have dropbox on mine which auto syncs *everything* when it's within reach of my (or anyone else' s) wireless network, and it's almost never out of sync.

 

[TdC]

somewhat reticent

you wear tweed in your leisure time don't you? it's ok Lamp, you can tell me

 

[Lamp]

I edited the post as the word "reticent" is Yugoslavian for "mouse", and I'd end up getting an Excel "Circular Reference" error. My under-underpants are tweed, yes, made from camel's pubic hair and barbed wire.

 

[TdC]

everything you just said slid in to my brain with complete clarity. in my mind's eye you have become John Cleese (wearing an 1890's style tweed men's bathing costume) 0o

(I have all 3 Star Wars movies on there for starters.)
(anyone who thinks the Phantom Menace was a good movie can go stand in the corner right now)

Back on topic: people who think lonely middle aged nerds are annoying.

Every day im off rain rain rain and no shed

Surely you can plug both into the pc usb slots and copy from one phone to another? Not tried this but can't see why not.

 

[caLLous]

Careful dys, that sort of crazy talk is beyond Lamp's level of comprehension.

 

[Lamp]

I'm still trying to get my abacus to charge overnight. No joy.

 

[Edmond]

What's a USB slot?

 

[Shagrat]

I've got the complete Dead Set series on my phone at the moment, gives me something to watch when im travelling about through work.
