I dunno, I quite liked the story (for an action game) in modern warfare. That sniper mission was fucking epic.

You just don't get good thunderstorms these days. I remember watching storms roll across the fields out my bedroom window as a lad (now a couple of doors down) and they just don't happen now. Just the power in a good storm, makes you feel tiny.

Modern Warfare Remastered does look interesting but even as a freebie to try and get me to buy the new one it's not going to happen.

You keep claiming traditional education is irrelevant but without it no one will be able to make the behind the scenes magoc you so crave

Making something feel or seem simple is an extremely complex task

And that is the point isn't it.
Make the complicated simple by automating all the tedious bits.
Allready every dickhead under the sun can edit photographs, music, video and get professional results.
Obviously someone has to write the code..but then the next person can leap higher with less knowledge.
30 years of training can be matched by augmented reality, hand scanning and instant access to every nuance of the task involved.
This is the future..the tools are being perfected and reteaching people the same shit over and over again will die out.
People will learn 'on the job' and the machine will learn with them, then that knowledge is in the bank...automate it and move up.

True to form the bike did almost kill me today :) Well actually I tried to kill me, because I didn't tighten the handlebar stem sufficiently (Teeds might know about quill stems and grub screws and what can go wrong there). Almost went into the back of a Range Rover as the handlebars disappeared from beneath my hands, down toward the front wheel. Fortunately he turned left at a roundabout and I was able to go straight past him. Other than that, the bike is fucking amazing for it's time, although brake lever ergonomics have improved considerably since these were manufactured.

It involved mostly shitting myself and hoping nobody drove into me. Fortunately I was able to guide it into a bus layby and fix the problem.

Mate of mine has put in a massive segregated cycle lane in Nottingham (and more are in the works).

Motorists are up in arms about it. They're not happy at the loss of space :\

wow. that thing is near perfect bar the fugly blue colour. wtf's wrong with those people?

Similar situation with the Bearsway. Despite advice that no congestion was caused, that a cycle lane was safer, the locals all hated it. When asked by a campaigner if they wanted children to ride in safety, they said they'd rather see them in cars. These people will be costing the NHS a fortune in a few years.

Cyclists never use the bloody things so why bother?

Because if you build the infradtructure you encourage more people to take up cycling.

Infrastructure first.

There'll be a design, maintenance or cleanliness reason behind that.

Yeah, perhaps the weekly road sweepers that clean it and the fact that it is an entire grid that used to be a light railway, mostly independent from the road that confuses the poor souls.

The dumb thing is, the cycle route is both cleaner and more direct from town than the road, they still refuse to use it.

edit http://www.brackmillsindustrialestate.co.uk/sites/default/files/file/Brackmills Cycle Map 2008.pdf

It great, two lanes, well lit, clean. completely safe. The map doesn't show the route into town but that is an old railway that was converted (at great cost) really they should just rip it out and turn it into a bus route or a tram as cyclists don't use it.
