    Badass punch

    http://www.cnn.com/video/?hpt=hp_c3#/video/us/2012/07/09/vo-fist-fly-courthouse-brawl-florida.hln Watch the young guy in the red as he appears at first to be "guiding" the old guy in the suit through the door - at first I thought he could have been a relative of the old guy trying to keep him out of the confrontation... Not a fan of being pushed, the old guy raises a fist, young guy throws a punch (difficult to see but it is in there) and the old guy throws a big long punch, knocking the young guy to the ground and breaking his jaw.
  2. That last video (White Knight) smells like yesterday's calamari.
  3. Did you use the youtube stabilizing option? That first video keeps giving me LSD flashbacks the way the wind deflector keeps changing shape.
  4. I wonder if Nickelodeon will retire his character or recast it? Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
  5. His wiki page was updated already! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Borgnine
  6. Hang on, I think I'm on to something here. Definitely touched a nerve...
  7. Aren't we all naturally drawn to news stories that involve our interests? For me that's computers, motorbikes, guns and law. For you that's motorbikes, psychology and gay porn.
  8. Then unsubscribe...? I went to law school - the process is fascinating to me.
  9. Doesn't AT&T require data plan for iphone. Buddy of mine tried to drop the data plan and just use wifi on his iphone 3 and they told him no. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
  10. Zimmerman just posted bond and left the jail.

    You posted the link you need to manage your ad. Don't worry, I edited the ad requesting prepayment of the full $1000 asking price to Western Union in my name.
  12. So that works, huh? Hmmm.... "MOM! I dropped my Geo Metro in the toilet, can I have a BMW?"
  13. Oh she accidentally* dropped it in the toilet, huh? That's unfortunate. Maybe the time she spends saving up for a replacement will allow her the opportunity to reflect on how she can be more careful in the future. * = Intentionally, and with malice aforethought
  14. When I saw this comic I was convinced these guys were following me around using me as material...
  15. I would be inclined to put my odds on a fast car over a bike simply because the biker is at greater risk of physical harm an most sensible riders are not going to push it as far as a cager will. There are always exceptions - but anyone who has tracked their car will know that you spend a lot of time in corners playing with the limits of adhesion and knowing how far you can pushing before losing it. A biker who is not on a suicide mission is not going to want to test the limits of grip up to (and potentially including) losing control... If you are running for your life then it may be different - but to avoid a traffic ticket?
  16. That's assuming it's not a cash bond. There's cash-only bonds, Surety bonds, OR bonds (Own Recognizance - no $$$) and a couple different other types. I thought FL state/county criminal Bail Bond premiums were 10%, and Federal/Immigration bonds premiums were 15%... EDIT: Look here... http://www.bail-florida.com/bail-bond-faq/bail-bond-fees.html
  17. Depends on the type of bond. If the court will take 10% then Zimmerman will get that 10% back, minus a processing fee (~10% of that 10%) ie $1m bond, $100k placed with the court and refunded upon the bond no longer being needed - except that the court may keep $10k as a fee. Every state/county/court can be different so this is jst a guess. If they have to go through a bail bondsman then the entire 100k (10% of 1m) is kept by the bondsman as his fee.
  18. $1m bond. Looks like he's going to have to pull that money out of his legal expense fund, but he should make bond pretty quickly. I think it's a 10% cash bond in FL, right?
  19. I bought a prepaid phone for my 7yo to have with him at summer camp. He knew to call me only if there was an absolute emergency and nobody at camp could help him. A couple of weeks later he butt-dialled me and when he didn't talk to me and I heard kids screaming I called the main number for the camp. Well nothing untoward was going on, and the camp director confiscated my son's phone until I picked him up.
  20. Only time I ever spilled a drink of my laptop (Dell Inspiron) I had to disassemble it down to every individual component and clean everything up part by part. Took me 2 hours - and I used to build & repair Dell laptops for a living. Even stupid things like sugar gumming up the closing latches will plague you for weeks if you don't fix it correctly. 1) As soon as the liquid hits the keyboard - TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN! 2) Unplug the power cord and power it off as quickly as you can. 3) Take out the battery (If you are using a properly-designed laptop) and any removable devices 4) If you haven't already, set a towel under it to soak up any liquid dripping off the keyboard (Still upside down!) 5) Remove any components you can get at from the back. HD, memory, wireless minicard etc. 6) Once all the dripping liquid is soaked up, turn the laptop face-up again and take the case apart. Remove all components, cleaning each one with isopropyl alcoholt o remove any sugary residue. 7) Continue cleaning all components until you get to the motherboard. Remove the motherboard and clean both sides, then clean the case. Pay attention to any mechanicals like the pcmcia slots and lid latch. 8) Once you have removed all trace of the drink (and the sugar especially) then reassemble everything. Good luck.

    New PC

    Thanks jp. Iwas just looking to see if Dell will give me a DVD to reinstall W7 the way I like it and I found a Dell Community post that shows how to get hold of the ISO and product keys. I'll see if that helps, otherwise I'll be begging for your help...

    New PC

    That will depend on if i get an install CD of W7 Ultimate. If I do then I'll put W7 on a true SSD, else I'll leave it where it is. Too many PC makers these days send you a preinstalled Windows but you cannot reinstall it yourself - you can only restore back to factory settings. Give me a damn disk! I don't want 2TB in one partition!
  23. (Remmber those stupid BING adverts where people would chip in with useless but irrelevant facts about a word that someone is enquiring about, but is taken out of context?) Oceania is a track from the Mike Oldfield soundtrack of the Arthur C Clark novella "Songs of Distant Earth". Along with tracks like Hibernaculum and Shining Ones, Oceania follows a vaguely trance/ambient new-age theme as it tries to give a voice to a film that never existed. Oceania flows directly into the next track; "Only Time Will Tell" which provides one of the main thematic anchors for the the album. Watch out for "Crystal Clear" which includes elements of hypnosis in an attempt to induce deep relaxation in its listeners. Many listeners have been confused at feeling sleepy while listening to the famed 14th track Oceania http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wzcUTLaFuw Only Time Will Tell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkJL28y_rAI Crystal Clear (Don't listen while driving!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AuOTLRPEXo

    New PC

    Got tired of my 3yo entry-level $250 PC and ordered a new one. I've been doing HD video editing recently and the old girl just wasn't keeping up. New one is a Dell XPS 8500 i7 4Ghz, 16GB ram, 2TB/32Gb SATA/SSD and Blueray burner. I'll add 3 more hard drives to it when it arrives. This thing should go faster a teenager losing his virginity to Megan Fox
