I wanted to (The pad wasn't cheap, and d-pad aside, was very, very comfortable) But fundametnally, up, despite being oriented with your hand, was no longer up. http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5808&p=455667#p455667 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 14:41:12 +0100 Wogan'sTrouserBulge says: Pre-order for a fiver? That sounds like they're locking people in, which means it's probably not going to be cheap there. http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5409&p=455665#p455665 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 14:37:32 +0100 Zio says: I manage fine with a 16Gb iPad as I don't have any music on there. All my music is on the iPhone. So the only thing I have on the iPad is apps, videos, books, magazines and comics. I do sometimes wish I'd plumped for a little extra capacity, but I just get into the habit of deleting the videos once I've watched them so I'm not taking up valuable space. If you don't want to spend out on an iPad 3G, maybe consider buying a MiFi from 3? That's what I've been thinking of doing and I've tried my iPad on two of my work colleagues MiFis just fine. I gather the experience is not as nice as having a proper 3G iPad, but it is about fifty quid cheaper. http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6037&p=455664#p455664 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 14:33:53 +0100 ApplePieOfDestiny says: I might not go now.

Right now probably what they mostly see is a threat rather than an opportunity, though. Agreed , and thats because its a large change in the market and they see how 'bad' others have done when the whole system goes through this - the music and movie industry for example http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3222&p=455649#p455649 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 14:05:22 +0100 Mr Dave says: Quite. My point was that you were saying that them "doing it differently" was somehow objectively good. It isn't, it's quite clearly subjectively good, to those who happen to like what they did with the game. Variety is a good thing, but that doesn't make me want to like a game that adds (in my opinion) shitty gameplay for the sake of being 'different'. I'm willing to forgive a lot more for it than I am, say, Activision shitting out the same game every year in time for Christmas. I'm not saying that I like them all (I rather disliked the Mega man on XBLA, for instance) But I'm still rather glad that they exist and that other people like them. http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6285&p=455643#p455643 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 13:33:28 +0100 Curiosity says: Stuff I have since remembered: Sleep texting. Scott's reaction to the email from the first evil-ex, and the ex's response when finding out he didn't read it. "I didn't know Vegans were psychic." Mostly anything Young Neil or the Gay Roomate did or said. The stunt doubles. The music. http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1370&p=455633#p455633 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 13:05:01 +0100 Mr Dave says: I'd say the only time it gets frustrating is when it gives you a time limit, because that does rather expose the flakiness of the movement targetting. http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6183&p=455622#p455622 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 12:36:00 +0100 The Rev Owen says: It works at the front, but not behind where the hill and trees are. I think if you flattened it behind and did the same thing with the scattering of soil, it would look even better. You were very right indeed. http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=411&p=455609#p455609 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 11:56:40 +0100 Trooper says: Living life on the raggedy edge! http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=466&p=455566#p455566 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 10:54:32 +0100 Craster says: http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6220&p=455556#p455556 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 10:49:04 +0100 Runcle says: Oh transfers need to be done by September 11th 11.30am.

The sun was catching it just right, although I did slightly tweak the 'blueness' after taking it. http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2098&p=455509#p455509 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 09:20:20 +0100 Curiosity says: Bloody one week gap in Lie Tome as well before the season finale in two weeks. Thankfully Tim Roth tweets hundreds of pictures from the set of the next series, so it's all good. http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=183&p=455489#p455489 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 06:00:43 +0100 Wogan'sTrouserBulge says: Holy shit. lhEAT6XAgbI At least now that I know this is possible, I can take a little comfort in some of the absolute spankings I used to get on Mario Kart DS online. http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6289&p=455449#p455449 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 23:15:31 +0100 chinnyhill10 says: I've ordered a massive repeater cable.. I think that's what its called anyway. I'll see how I get on with that but if this carries on, and things become a big problem I'll be happy to throw some more money at it. I've always thought about proper CCTV for the house but that's definitely a last resort option. If you go down that route, the Avermedia stuff that RF Concepts sell is aces. The in laws have one after having previously had a PC solutions. PC's crash and get upset. The Avermedia unit has been running for well over 2 years now with no intervention needed at all. If there's a powercut it just continues on its merry way as soon as power is restored: http://www.rfconcepts.co.uk/digital-recorder.htm They have the older blue 1304 model. I'd give it 950 Bananas. Once you set it up, you can just forget about it. The remote makes it easy to watch the footage as well. The only gripe is the unit doesn't adjust for daylight saving so you need to take that into account when searching through footage. The HD is so big you don't even need to worry about motion detection (which is just as well as there's a spider that insists on building its web over the camera every night). http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4633&p=455437#p455437 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 22:42:25 +0100 Plissken says: Went to Belfast. Spent time on the Unionist Shankill Road. Then, for balance, spent time on the Nationalist Falls Road. Then went to Gourmet Burger Kitchen. Not sure whose side they are on. Described the wall between them as "a bit like the Berlin Wall", which upon reflection is wrong in just about every conceivable way. Also, Giants Causeway and Carrick-A-Rede are total aceness. And I've fallen in love with the West of Ireland. I've been lucky enough to go to some amazing places, and I'll put Donegal right up there with the best of them. http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6279&p=455330#p455330 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:23:08 +0100 Mr Kissyfur says: The story is bigger than that, though. The police (allegedly) collaborated with the media to cover up crime (more or less). Which is pretty dreadful.Given that the Met are happy to kill people and cover that up/sweep it under the carpet, it's hardly surprising though. http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4848&p=455309#p455309 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:55:07 +0100 Doctor Glyndwr says: I'm tentative. I bought the first Crackdown DLC only to discover that with nothing left to do in the game it felt rather empty and pointless. In the end I barely played it. http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4343&p=455290#p455290 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:12:54 +0100 pupil says: http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/08/31 ... unctional/ Rockbox is coming to Android!

Although i'm more concerned about how it sees media on a NAS, rather than a directly connected, but I assume it will be a similar deal? Hang on, what's a NAS again? The only downsides to the WD thing is that occasionally audio sync can be a little off - I'm not sure if that's down to the actual files though (and I've not had sync issues for a while) - and the fact that .mkv movies require DTS audio (so I can't actually play them yet) .mkv telly episodes don't though (and True Blood in HD is well worth it). http://www.beexcellenttoeachother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3572&p=455264#p455264 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:11:21 +0100 ApplePieOfDestiny says: I quite like it, but only because it's good for FMJ kills!
