It certainly threw me off.
And FF for me. I'm tempted by Chrome but don't like the idea of Google owning and running everything to do with the internet.

I think the TV industry can quite frankly fuck off. After the complete mess they UK and TV industry has made of selling us new TVs with digital TVs sold to us (with analogue tuners) and then digital set top boxes and then TVs that are HD ready (but don't do full HD) i think most people just want a period of stability with the £400 - £600 they have spent on huge TVs.
No one is going to be prepared to buy another TV that has a refresh of 120Hz just so they can watch 3D at home.

Off-Topic / Re: Czech weed law
« on: January 06, 2010, 10:00:32 am »I don't agree with making drugs legal at all. When they are illegal most people think of it as a bad thing. Which it is.
No real facts but drugs result in debts and crime. I spent many years spending my wages on weed, it came to a point where I chose weed over food. That should never happen.
I loved getting stoned, don't get me wrong. But weed is hard to detect by the average person, this makes it easy to be stoned and deal with everyday life. Unlike alcohol, which is easily detected by the effects. I could get stoned at 5am, be in work for 5.50am and no one would notice. The facts are though, my heart rate was slowed down. my reaction time was also reduced.
That's why we shouldn't accept drugs. it could slow you down in school, in school you have to pay attention to achieve your potential.
Drugs are bad. I should know.
Do you not think that if they (are we talking about all drugs or just weed?) were made legal there would be a far greater support network to catch people who fall through the cracks like we have for alcohol? The strength and quality could be maintained and monitored?
I'm not saying it would be a good think to legalise it (when i was younger i did, now i am older and have seen some of the damage (firsthand) that weed can do) but i certainly think that the whole world of drugs should be debated more as the current system isn't working, as it just funds criminals and criminalizes the end users.
Ush, does The Netherlands have a big problem due to the coffee shops (are they only in Amsterdam or everywhere?)? I appreciate it is also a cultural thing, so may not be so easy to map from country to country (look at how 24 hour alcohol licenses didn't change the UK drinking culture at all).

TBH i think that is a really good place to keep server updates all in one place rather than scattered all over the forum. Imo of course.
