    Double barrel pistol

    That thing looks awful. Pistols aren't really my thing, never actually fired one, but if I did I'd probably go for something historic like an SAA or a Webley, or that Five-seveN thing with its funny little bullets. Thought the whole idea of a double barrel was either: a.) birdshot in...

    What Mistakes Do You Normally Make When You're Typing/Writing

    What this says. Doubly annoying because it's intentional. First thing which came to mind when I saw the thread title. I don't do it, I just have poor grammar in general.

    Hairstyles.

    Whatever way the wind blows it. And I cut it when it get's to my eyes, which is about every 6 weeks. I've never styled or dyed it, but then I rather like it the way it is naturally.

    Should the overweight pay more for airfare?

    Though some people don't like being seen naked but still have to go through those machines which let people see them naked. It's a deterrent. If everyone took an extra 10lb onto a 300 passenger flight, the aircraft is now a few tons heavier, which means more fuel, which is more weight, and...

    Should the overweight pay more for airfare?

    EASA's CR-25 and the FAA's FAR-25 dictate allowance for 175lb per passenger, plus 30/40lb of luggage for short/long haul flights respectively. These are the regulations the engineers design to. I imagine that value is an average so it's probably not necessary to charge them extra.

    Should the overweight pay more for airfare?

    I'm studying Aerospace Engineering and would like to agree with everything this fine fellow has just said. The things they could do if they didn't have to pander to consumer preference.

    Why I am not going to buy Mass Effect 3

    Been blown enormously out of proportion, I reckon. If you go to buy a car, you'll have a list of extra stuff you can order for quite a lot of money, sometimes ridiculously overpriced depending on the manufacturer. Same with computers, yachts, almost anything. They have the right to market and...

    Poll: Brush teeth before or after eating breakfast?

    Clean teeth, shower, breakfast, perhaps floss (much more important than brushing) again if there's a particularly stuck piece of food, onwards. Never use mouthwash, 'tis a gimmick. Mother is a dental hygienist. Don't understand the 'wipe ass, then defecate logic'. If your faeces left your...

    I'm ashamed of myself... but I finally succumbed to Origin

    What does everyone actually have on their computers that would be so bad to have shared? I don't really care if EA wants to see what programs I have installed or my folder with pictures of aeroplanes in it.

    I challenge you to find a battle more epic than this!

    I don't know much about anime, but Leipzig, Kursk and Vienna 1683 all pop to mind when I hear 'epic battle'. In terms of games and films, watching the charge of the Rohirrim in the Return of the King was cool, and Total War lends itself to some good clashes.

    What's so bad about Maths?

    Mathematics is fantastic, it's the language of the universe isn't it? Biased though, as an engineering student. I always struggled with more subjective subjects.

    Games that ramped up difficulty and dang near destroyed the experience

    In the meantime I have hooked up my old PS2 and am giving it another bash, the dambusting mission is pretty tough too but enjoyable, and the tank mission in China is epic. The whole game is like eating a delicious cake, which only gets more and more delicious as you go through the chocolate...

    Games that ramped up difficulty and dang near destroyed the experience

    Dropship: United Peace Force. The last two/three missions were impossible.

    Car vs. Computer

    They're both depreciating assets, perhaps the computer moreso, so financially I doubt it makes any difference. Though the car then has to be taxed/insured/fueled. Anyway, my car cost me £1300 (Jan 08) and my PC £1500 (Sept 09). I can honestly say the car has given me an immeasurably greater...
