quote:I feel I must intervene in this Great Date Debate. Actually it's not even that simple ( - what Aran said). In the UK you'd probably never see anything other than dd/mm/yy, so even yyyy-mm-dd would confuse people no end. Putting a dash where people expect to find a slash is just asking for trouble. In Sweden people are more flexible and can usually figure it out, though they tend to use yymmdd or yyyymmdd. -------------------- I think this is really wonderful.

quote:In (northern hemisphere) winter it's like this in the UK too (generally at 0 C). The tiniest bit of ice or two centimetres of snow, and the whole country grinds to a halt. Swedish winter regularly gets down to -20C and they hardly bat an eyelid. Just a matter of getting used to it I suppose. -------------------- I think this is really wonderful.

Above ground in London it was *only* about 34, but the tube is always much hotter than the outside temperature in summer, and usually colder in winter. People were standing at the tube station entrances saying "Don't do it, don't go down there." -------------------- I think this is really wonderful.

Well personally I'm not trying to mock Christianity. In all seriousness, I thought that the whole point was that you're not supposed to understand everything about it, because God is inherently unfathomable. And yes I do think that some Christians use that as a convenient excuse to do whatever they like, but somehow I don't think that a religion really makes any sense if everything about it follows clinical logic. -------------------- I think this is really wonderful.

quote:As I understand it, God is God, and Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God are also God manifested as the Holy Trinity. So Jesus is either not quite the same thing as God or exactly the same thing as God, depending on how you look at it. Either way, Jesus is not a separate God from God, so no problems there. Anyway I don't think that's what Jewels said at all. -------------------- I think this is really wonderful. Posts: 147 | Registered: Tuesday, October 18 2005 07:00 |

Wow. The second version actually has more calories than the first version. Swanson's obviously felt that they needed to improve the calorie per gram efficiency. Perhaps they intend to use it for long distance runners or astronauts or something? -------------------- I think this is really wonderful. Posts: 147 | Registered: Tuesday, October 18 2005 07:00 |

Wait, you got a new Intel Mac Thralni? Well, you sure kept that a secret. :P Web editors: I know nothing about them so it's probably best to ignore what I say, but you could have a gander at this.

quote:This is quite true, and I don't object to being mistaken for a guy on the basis of that photo (or the one in my profile, which is just as unclear). In those picures I could plausibly be a 14/15 year old guy, when in fact I'm a 23 year old girl. I should get a part in Shakespeare. That said, I do object to the trend that Aran pointed out: that everyone is male by default unless stated otherwise. -------------------- I think this is really wonderful.

This topic is nuclear-biased, so I don't know how to count my family. If just siblings, then we are 3 (two sisters). If parents and siblings, then we are either 5 or 3, and if you add up all the individuals then we're 6. ?? -------------------- I think this is really wonderful.

In A4, all monsters are already shown as red dots on the automap, so it's easy to see whether you've killed them all or not. I'm guessing this will be the same in A5.
