No chippies? Criminal.

[Worm-Nut]

What are chippies?

[BetongÅsna]

Fish and chip shops. Strange, I could've sworn you were English.

[AndrewTaylor]

We have the best chippie in the world in Leeds. Woodsley Road Fish And Chip Shop. £2.65 for a good sized fish and chips. Good fish. Good chips. Friendly staff. Almost illegally cheap chicken and chips. Shop-price 800ml or 1.5l cola - and proper Coca-Cola at that. Also do an excellent spicy fish. And they have a habit of giving out free food sometimes. Also they do pizza and special offers and things.

It's great!

[SargeMcCluck]

Mmmmm, that sounds lovely. You've got me hungry now.

[MtlAngelus]

What is Fish and Chip :confused:

[FutureWorm]

Fish and French Fries.

[SargeMcCluck]

Only with the proper name for chips. Catchier too ;)

[War Worm]

Chips the fries gets me confused with chips the potato chips.

[SargeMcCluck]

Chips the fries gets me confused with chips the potato chips.

French Fries = Potato Chips = Chips...

[War Worm]

[KamikazeBananze]

damn it AT. You've got a good chipper near your house.

The best chipper I've ever been to was a place in Kinnegad, which is about an hour out of Dublin. The next-best was from a Galway chipper. And then, in a very close third, come Leo Burdock's here in Dublin, near Christchurch Cathedral and St. Patrick's Church.

[SupSuper]

ok, my onboard soundcard (a good one in fact) has been acting up lately, so i think i'm gonna install my SoundBlaster Live! again. now i just need to wait for the 30mb driver download to be completed... :mad:
now that i think of it, it's since i started using the onboard soundcard that i lost my mic support. hmmm... more news on that later.

[Worm-Nut]

Fish and chip shops. Strange, I could've sworn you were English.

Me? English? Umm....OK....

NO.

I guess the USA english equivilent would be "French fries and fish shops".

Right? Am I right???

EDIT: I got Worms 3D before it was relased in the US by preordering it from T17. :D

[AndrewTaylor]

Nah, it'd be called Fish And Chips and have Union Jacks plastered all over it if I know my American culture properly.

[SupSuper]

WOOHOO! :D
with my SB Live! back, the microphone works! and it has nicer MIDI playback too.
WOOHOO! :D

[BetongÅsna]

Nah, it'd be called Fish And Chips and have Union Jacks plastered all over it if I know my American culture properly.But the chips would still be American style fries.

By the way, I'm amazingly glad that 'Freedom Fries' didn't catch on. The USA's becoming so Orwellesque recently that it scares me.

[War Worm]

Ahahhahaha, Freedom fries, I remember those times. I've heard of patriotism, but that was over-the-top insanity (not that there's anything wrong with insanity...)

[MtlAngelus]

When the insanity is related to US patriotism, then it is wrong


:p

Get this man a drink, he's the Wise Man around here!

[OldSkoolCrazy]

Freedom fries have nothing to do with being patriotic. It's to be "politicaly correct" and it's stupid how they need everything to be that way.

[KamikazeBananze]

Ummm... then why did they get called that JUST when the French said they weren't going to be involved in the War on Terror(TM)?(plz note, I'm not sure if this is the full and correct story. I don't watch TV much anymore...)

Because before that nobody cared what nationality their fries were, obviously.

It's stupid anyway, because they're not French. And they're not fries - they're plainly chips.

[UnKnown X]

Weren't they from Bulgaria or something?

My memory is failing again. :-/

And you won't believe how some people in this country want to be politicaly correct. Even they are a tiny minority, and everyone is against them, they make a lot of noise and embarass themselves.

Ummm... Andy? I was attempting some sarcasm. Just forgot to add the :rolleyes:!

[SomePerson]

they're plainly chips.
But we call what you call crisps chips.

[AndrewTaylor]

Yes, but they're plainly not chips. Those are crisps. They're crisp, for a start. If you chip bits off a potato it doesn't fall into thin, crinkle-cut slices, does it?

What it boils down to is this: You can't have "fish and fries" because it sounds stupid.

Edit: I don't feel as strongly about this as comes across in this post. I'm just sayin' is all.

[FutureWorm]

How can fries be chips? They look nothing like other types of chips (for instance, poker chips).

[AndrewTaylor]

They look a lot like woodchips.

I was electrocuted at work yesterday. Thankfully, I didn't take the full whack of the 20,000V transformer, or I'd be slightly deader than I am. 2004 strikes again!

[SargeMcCluck]

I got electricuted by a faulty 550W PSU. Not as bad as a many volts transformer, but still nasty - The current was high enough that the fuse blew (literally, there was fire), and theres a huge black spot on the plug socket from where the fuse blew. In the literal, blowing up, sense.

The fuse inside the PSU blew up too, with more flames. Hooray!

[Zero72]

I never used to be a big fan of spaghetti, but lately it seems I've been acquiring a taste for it. My mom and dad both make their own sauces, and I like them both-- just a little on the spicy side and with a little bit of tang, just how I like it. My mom puts hamburger in the sauce, which is good in itself, but my dad has taken to using these big chunks of sausage. Now THAT's man food.

[Paul.Power]

BUBBLES ARE COOL THEY'RE ALL ROUND AND STUFF NOT SQUARE OR ANYTHING I WONDER WHAT'S UP WITH THATWell, it's like this.

A bubble contains a fixed volume of air. The soapy-water-film-thingy that surrounds this air is under tension, storing elastic potential energy, and in accordance with one of the most basic laws of physics, it will attempt to minimise this potential energy. In this case, the potential energy is linked to the surface area of the bubble. For a given volume, the shape with the smallest surface area (and thus smallest potential energy) is a sphere. Hence, bubbles are roughly spherical.

The "roughly", incidentally, comes from other factors such as gravity and wind, which oppose their own constraints on the distribution of the potential energy.

I think it's more than that. I hear they tried it once - someone being executed kept mouthing the same thing over and over again. He stopped (I think) after about thirty seconds, and probably died shortly after that. But think about it, what kills you when your body is removed? The blood stops flowing, so you don't get any more oxygen is the answer. In theory you have until you deplete the oxygen in the blood that is there - how long that takes is very variable, on such things as the amount of oxygen, your metabolism, how hard you think, what percentage of the brain you use (:p)...

[SargeMcCluck]

There's also the fact that you could go into shock if you've just had your head cut off.

[AndrewTaylor]

I suppose it would be a bit unusual.

Hey tundraH, any idea why the background color of your Avatar always looks different depending on what computer I'm using?It's a 24-bit alpha-blended PNG, which means I can use the same avatar on a forum with any background colour and it'll still look antialiased. However it's also too small for Internet Explorer's little brain, so it will have a (dark) grey background in IE.

Duke Nukem Forever being held back because of military stuff?

From Gamespot: "RUMOR #3:: The real reason that Duke Nukem Forever keeps getting delayed is because it is actually a secret project for the US military.

Source: A severely grammatically-challenged post on the File Rush forums.

The official story: "What's there to comment on?" – George Broussard.

What we heard: The post tells the following tale: An unspecified branch of the US government, together with the British government, approached 3D Realms in 1996, asking George Broussard and team to design "the most interactive and atmospheric game to be made ever in history" based on the alien landing at Roswell; to be granted access to the real information about Area 51, the 3D Realms staff all signed the biggest NDA ever.

The reason for the game's existence is to get America ready for any possible alien landings, so that when little gray men really do land on the White House lawn, we'll all be prepared for them, having played Duke Nukem Forever. But the game needs to be perfect before it gets released, hence all the delays.

Bogus or not bogus?: Considering that Broussard would be quietly assassinated by the Men In Black if he said anything, we can't rely on his comment. We're going with Bogus, but only because we don't want the Secret Service knocking on our doors. Now pardon us while we stock up on bottled water."
