Oooh cryptic ^_^

:oops:

/me screws up the "Do you like me? Yes No Maybe" letter he was writing for Demeige :(

You can date AND study you know. Its not an either/or situation :?

Check your settings to make sure the music if turned on then go to C:\WINDOWS\.file_store_32 and delete all the midi files. And try again.

I dont think its really necessary to bump all the time. People have seen it now and its the first result for "tech border tutorial"

[quote name="Sunli - http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=83464"]You post a pic of a client besides Jagex's being used, you will be banned Id crop that pic if i were you.

I didnt say all patents were stupid Jammy...

There you go. If you want any changes tuff. I didnt save the psd.

You need 400+ people of a true random sample to have a reliable result ;) At least in local government research anyway

Pixel Bert McCracken?

Subtle lol. The cable looks a bit thin tho and the iPod is turned off. How can he hear his music :(

Welcome back Han. Theres some good articles on the BBC about him. Do a search if you want to read them.

That turntable image is used all over the place, its not really very original. The monotone colours look really odd and boring, especially such striking contrast of black and red. As others mentioned its just a few brushes and black scanlines. Theres not really much of your actual work to rate you didnt even add a border.

lol same, except i got 11 right, 8 left :P

No dating until you finished uni >.< Thats like 21 years old. ROFL

Plz dont change the colour of your font. I personally use a green background and i couldnt read it. I did read Mads link and I also read an article that Dusqi sent to me. and while it was very interesting reading it was very very outdated and forcussed a lot on American practives. I can only speak for British laws and testing because I dont know what goes on in other countries. Cosmetic testing on animals has been banned in the UK since 1998 and for the few years before that hardly any was done anyway. There is also a ban on the LD50 test. Currently only 4% of all animal testing is done safety testing non-medical products such as pesticides. Over a third of all testing is purely study. Meaning that the animals are just bred to study the function of a gene or scanning unborn babies. About 30% of testing is done to find ways to treat and prevent diseases such as the crippling multiple sclerosis, which affects almost 100,000 people alone in the UK, and neural degeneration diseases. The other 30% is on fundamental biological and medical research to find out how some people and animals are immune to certain diseases. Drug companies are not lazy and if there truely was a cheaper and more efficient way of doing this research without the need for animal testing do you really think they would pass that up? Companies are unethical and capitalists and will save money wherever possible, they cant rule out animal testing yet because there is no better way. I hear a rumor that in America they give tax breaks to companies that do animal testing, now i dont know about that for sure but I do know that in the UK there are NO benefits to animal testing and infact the British government gives tax breaks to those that DONT animal test using the "Three R's" policy. Replacement - use alternative methods, e.g. testing on cell cultures (in vitro). Reduction - use statistics to reduce the number of animals that must be used for each experiment. Refinement - improve the experiment to reduce animal suffering Humanitarian organisations and governments have funded studies into alternative methods since the 1960s. For the past 15 years, Germany has given ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã4.2 million a year in research grants, while the Netherlands spends ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã1.4 million a year. It is estimated that the total spent by the UK government is in the region of ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã2 million a year. The European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods was set up in 1992 by the European Commission, and contributes ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã6.3 million annually. EU regulations state that researchers must assess the pain that an animal may feel during an experiment, and justify its suffering by what the research can achieve. Maybe in a few years when people have mapped all the human genes we can simulate 90% of research on computers and petri samples and the rest can be done on "human guinnepigs". I dont see these animal rights activists signing up to be tested on maybe they should stop being such hypocrites. Its a fact that animal testing has saved lives and I value human life over animals. I'm not evil and i'm not pro-animal testing, i'm just intelligent enough to understand that there is currently no viable alternative to eliminate animal testing all together YET. It will happen, and i'm sure it will happen soon but the best way to end it is to put political pressure on the governments of the world, especially America, to grant more money into alternative ways of research. Its the ACTUAL animal testing organisation that are funding ways into alternative research. I'm sure you know of Clive Page, he is a lung specialist trying to rid the world of asthma and did animal testing in the late 90's. He was put on the "death list" by the Animal Rights Militia. Many threats were made on his life however he is also leading the way into alternative types of research. The anachism of a small minority of people is not helping matters and like I said earlier the closure of the breeding farm in the uk will only mean that the animals come from other countries where there is no legislation protesting them. Animal testing has helped to develop vaccines against diseases like rabies, polio, measles, mumps, rubella and TB. Antibiotics, HIV drugs, insulin and cancer treatments rely on animal tests. Other testing methods aren't advanced enough. Operations on animals helped to develop organ transplant and open-heart surgery techniques. As much as i'd like to see then end of animal testing no matter how much protesting and anarchism done by people like the ALF and ARM (funded by PETA) its not going to end. Because by ending animal testing many people will die from the lack of research into diesease. You are a vegan and so very bia to anything which could harm animals and I understand your position buit you also need to understand where I'm coming from (a neutral party) telling you that it's just not possible yet. Write to your MP/Senator, write to your PM/President and put pressure on companies in America to end the LD50 test and Cosmetic testing. Also put political pressure on more funding into alternative forms of research because thats the only way its going to end. It will not end until there really is a cheaper and more effient way. Until that day, keep protesting, keep writing letters but dont go stealing people bodies from graves and blowing up labs because it solves nothing. If the IRA can give up terrorism then so can the animal rights groups. Matt

Theres a thread in Tech and Comps about google talk. I personally think that another IM system is a terrible idea. I know pyro said this in the other thread bul ill say it here too. normally competition drives innovation and improves quality but thats not the case with IM software. All it does is reduce the number of users on each. Google Talk is also very featureless. I certainly wont be switching any time soon.

Good luck to all your British people this morning. If things didnt go so well don't panic and head on to BBC One Life which you can get some good advice along with a freephone number you can call. 0808 100 8000

thats a good thing surely? bmp are bad and stupidly big filesize. Imageshack also states quite clearly that any bitmap files uploaded will be converted to png.

Much better dom, starting to be much more believeable. I still dont think there is enough blood tho, i mean thats a pretty deep wound there.

Do you honestly think that there are easier, better and cheaper methods to animal testing? Researchers don't do it for fun you know.

Nothing abnormal about that at all really. The older you get the more time you should spend on homework. You say you normally only spend half hour on all your homework, thats the fact that seems abnormal to me lol. Its not unusual to spend a good few hours on some quality work

the "power" of the bunny doesnt seem to be converting anyone so far.
