This kid hates MW2 so much he punches a wall and cries.
He\'s leading the anti MW2 group... since the rest of the group is mostly made of girlfriends of guys that like COD.
[edit] A message to that club can be found here.

I.T & Computers Chat / CPU\'s running high.
« on: 17, November, 2009, 03:09:30 AM »
Recently my computer has been frequently freezing for a few seconds at a time. To be more specific, web browsers, chat clients etc will visually pause for a few seconds then continue [repeat].
Sound is continuous, my mouse doesn\'t freeze, everything else looks ok. I was looking at my resource manager and it looks like 2 out of 4 CPU\'s are running high. When these 2 spike that\'s when my comp freezes. It\'s very odd.
I can\'t see any programs using the CPU\'s resources apart from a windows executable (wininit.exe - averaging 22% - it\'s virus free).
I\'ve got an AMD Phenom 9750 Quad Core processor with Win 7.
Any ideas?

General Chat / Google Wave
« on: 06, November, 2009, 02:51:41 AM »
https://wave.google.com/wave/
Who has it? I doubt many people will have...
If you remember the early days of gmail, it was invite-only before the public release. The same goes for this, at the moment it\'s invite only, I got one a few days ago.
I\'ve been using it with a friend, it has some nice features, but it seems more of a group-thing. Perhaps it\'s more suited for work, projects, groups etc.
If you don\'t know what Google Wave is, read below.

I\'ve got it and I still don\'t fully understand it. I\'m sure it\'ll be useful though.

Skip to 1:15 if you can\'t stand pointless revving.

It\'s particularly hilarious at 2:05 but let it play from 1:15.

The quidco cashback probably won\'t be paid (or maybe it will because of the publicity) but it\'s nice to hear of such deals.

General Chat / A380 UK Tour
« on: 05, September, 2009, 15:12:42 PM »
This might not be anyones cup of tea ...
Did anyone see the A380 doing it\'s tour round the UK today?. I didn\'t know of it until today when it done a fly-by over Glasgow airports runway. A lot of aircraft engineers were standing waiting outside the hanger for it. I was on Twitter at the time and saw an old friend said it was just about to fly over, just as I stepped outside, it flew in.
Quite a sight.

General Chat / Movies: \"District 9\" & \"500 (Days of Summer)\"
« on: 04, September, 2009, 21:41:22 PM »
This week, me and the lady went to see two movies.
The other half\'s choice was 500 Days of Summer. I went in thinking, \"Meh, another Rom-Com.\" I was right and wrong, it was another rom-com, but it was 500 times better than any other rom-com I\'ve seen.
District 9 was my choice. I went in with high hopes and left in a total downer. Seriously, after all the hype from The States, I genuinely thought it was going to be a good film. I was wrong. It was very slow and boring at the start and it was in documentary-style for at least 30-40 minutes - in this time about a dozen people had left the theatre. After the film switched from documentary to movie, it got slightly better but still ultimately boring.
Go see 500, leave D9.
