  1. So Coulson's actions near the end seemed a bit un-Coulsoney.
  2. Anyone up for Hawken this weekend? It's double XP.

  3. Their legacy mode is a trackpad, not a mouse. It'll do as a stop gap, but there's a reason why laptops are generally not considered so great to play with. Bummer they never covered any keyboard :/ (Didn't even end his turn in Civ V) Other than that, controller based games work with controllers, and everything else seems to be Xpadder like.
  4. You're not reading any of the links are you? I've had the keyboard for over two years. It's got access to my social accounts and SMS and even blog too. Yes it has some adaptation, but it stills absolutely cocks up when it comes to anything 3 letters and below.
  5. So is this "Attack on Titan" in English? I might look into watching it. Seems interesting.
  6. @Tenshi: Best I understand is: 1. Extremist groups of republicans want Obamacare gone. 2. Speaker Boehner would like to keep his job. 3. Republicans refuse to agree on a budget unless Obamacare (enshrined in law for a few years now) is de-funded. 4. Because of the way US funding is structured this means government has "shutdown" 5. They're now in a slinging match, both looking bad but Republicans exceedingly more so. a) The debt ceiling is about to be hit next week. b) This is slightly separate, but is also being used as a kind of ransom for the above. c) The extremist horse doctor republicans are feeling emboldened by the shutdown and are trying to push past the debt ceiling too.
  7. I got the latest Humble Weekly Bundle. Nice mix of strategy and city building games n such.

    World Politics

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2013/10/09/oops-azerbaijan-released-election-results-before-voting-had-even-started/ Azerbaijan speed up voting process. Announce winner before votes start.
  9. And how long for that to take effect? Also keep in mind it duplicates the effect over time because then it starts reading it's own predictions since you're then using the app.
  10. How long is this "over time"?
  11. One of the major flaws of SwiftKey however is there's only 3 predictions at a time, and they only work properly should you have a 5 letter word or longer. Anything below and it tends to not have much to go on. Hence my preference of Hacker's Keyboard and it's "as many as will fit at once" predictions. I might pop back to HK and see what it was that changed in my use of it to stop me using it after so long. I only have SwiftKey cos it was 10p.
  12. Not swiftly enough? On a bus? At all?
  13. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24429621 Fusion reactor in California produces as much energy as it consumes. Probably only for less than a second, but the fact it did it is enough.
  14. Been listening to Scott Pilgrim soundtrack at work.
  15. All the money? Part of point of Doctor Who was to be quite cheap what with it just reusing period piece sets from other BBC shows. I don't think they ever foresaw celebrating it's half centenary at all in the future. And yeah storage was somewhat an issue, they now have large chunks of disused London Underground for storage, and plenty of film was wiped and re-used (film wasn't cheap back in the day).
  16. I was using SwitKey on a bus at that point. Which doesn't live up to all the hype, but for some reason I can't quite remember I'm not using Hackers Keyboard as I had most of the year.
  17. I got one for Enemy Within too, but not too fussed on it considering I've still not managed to beat the main game. It'll be cheaper than £13 at some point soonish.
  18. Actually the health site seems to be quite the technical fuck up from what I'm reading in tech circles. So not just a simple DDOS scenerio. Of ciurse that has little to do wuth the bill and largely sn issue of govt IT contracts going to the lowest bidder.
  19. It'll run from say the west end to the east end, stopping at many stops along the way to drop off and pick up passengers. You say where you want to get off along the way.

    KITTEH <3

    You ain't got no legs Lieutenant Dan! (Fuck I've not watched Forrest Gump in a long while. Too long a while to have not watched Forrest Gump)
  21. So one for Mason: In the UK. Well England at least but I've not heard of it being different elsewhere, when you get on a bus you say where you're going, "town centre", and the bus driver tells you the price, and you pay and it spits out a ticket and you go n sit down and get off at your stop. The price is based on the distance/stops between where you got on and where you get off. For example this journey is £1.45. Ticket machine looks like this: You can buy day, weekly and monthly passes, or be a student(secondary and further, not aware of it for HE), or OAP and you just flash the pass/ticket at the driver and doesn't matter much on where you're going. Here's an OAP with their swipe card, it's RFID or something: (I should maybe note I've never actually seen one with a passenger side screen though)

    Terrible Jokes

    We traded a few at work: Why did the developer leave his job? Why did the web developer leave the restaurant? An SEO expert walks into a bar, bars, pub, tavern, public house, Irish pub, drinks, beer, alcohol.
  23. Directors Cut. Tweaks a few bits n bobs. But looks like you'd have to buy the game all over again to get the new boss battles. Not just upgrade or buy DLC like a normal non-Capcom game.
