Cos thats the key that you have on your number pad on the left of your keyboard. Plus x/x is perfectly legitimate notation for division.

MS Office is an awful piece of software. Full of bells and whistles you'll never use but bloated, buggy and full of security holes. And VERY expensive. You would be far better off using Open Office. Costs nothing, has 95% of the funtionality of MS Office, supports MS document formats (plus a...

They're nomally permanently attached in my experience, you would need to replace the whole thing. Alternatively if its just a broken track you can repair it by scraping the insulation back and soldering a fine wire across the gap. You need to be a bit of a dab hand with a soldering iron though...

:D Cheers guys.

I think the roadside bombs are triggered by someone with line-of-sight. If you're close enough to detect it you're close enough for it to kill you. We already have insugent incendiary devices (which I assume you meant), the problem as in any urban warfare is who to point em at. How do you...

Roger Waters got it right in The Wall - "Got thirteen channels of s**t on the T.V. to choose from." Its incredible how you can have all those channels and still not have anything on worth watching, so we watch maybe 2 hours of TV a week. Otherwise we watch DVD's. At lease your getting what...

I agree, he's provided me with hours of entertainment, bless.

Can anyone tell me what the approximate cost of a cubic meter of ready-mix should be? Cheers chaps. Pete _____________________________ lynda, moderator please note forum rule 9

I was bored, whats your excuse? :wink:

You STILL with us, thought you'd given up alongtime ago :wink:

You stop over-reacting and I'll stop doing it. :wink: You answered this yourself. You hit the nail on the head. Please do argue strongly, just so long as you DO consider the newly discovered points, sometimes you might discover you were wrong via this method. I'm glad we established...

And I would always defend your right to hold that belief. In fact I agree with it, though maybe from a less absolutist standpoint than you. I read the second response before it got modded, and I'm not sure how to interpret it. I'm afraid it looked to me like you were saying that anyone who...

I don't want you to accept anyones point of view if you don't want to, I would prefer arguing with you if you accepted that other people are allowed a different point of view. If you considered the possibility that they may have a different perspective than yours, which may be as valid as yours...

That assumes that they agree with your interpretation of the facts and your application of logic. Logic can be used to prove whatever you like by inputting the facts you chose - Gigo's law. If you are accurate in your assesment of the facts and if have properly applied logic and if you...

I absolutely agree. So can we finally agree that your moral outrage as regularly directed at others on this board is in fact your personal opinion and not based on logic or fact?

The childishly simplistic labels are flying again...... Sarcasm is saying something you don't mean for rhetorical effect, is that lying? Playing devils advocate is saying something you don't mean for rhetorical effect, is that lying? I think that you are so keen to find opportunites to...

So you are saying that the people whom the majority elect to represent them should then turn around and tell that majority whats right and whats wrong? Thats not a democracy then, its an elected oligarchy.

This is the point I'm trying to get to, and these really are not rhetorical questions. Our laws are theoretically based on the will of the majority. I think softus is right that the theory doesn't really match the practice much as our politicians would wish us to think otherwise, but thats...

Ah, no childishly simplistic labelling of people here! Can we say "hypocrite"? Humour has a long, long tradition of being used to puncture pomposity, I suggest if you don't like it you stop being so pompous.
