*remembers when techno was well, techno and house was house* :p

Hey I wore baggy herringbone pants over 20 years ago, I see we haven't come far then ..... :p
That vid took me by surprise it did.

Oh yes you can lose point off your license for moving violations on your bike.
Totally makes me wanna bolt then..lol
I have recieved numerous tickets while riding. Fail to stop...illegal turn....proceed before green...dangerous driving (tha one was riding no-hands on the sidewalk in front of First Canadian Place! . Everytime I have gone to Old City Hall....asked for a Justice of the Peace.....told him the infractions were on a bicycle....and had the points wiped from my driving record. It takes a couple of hours but works everytime. There is some rule that says you can't penalize licensed cyclists when un-licensed cyclists cannot be penalized. I still had to pay the fine tho.

sweeeet!!!! You mean they take them off (police) and then put them back on (courts)? Seems to be a round about way of not doing it at all. Seems perfectly ********. Thanks for that information. Now to find the actual law/ruling on the books and quote that the next time it looks like points are coming off.

Now if only they'd not be so angry if you try to bolt.
I was just in a groove officer I didn't know all that was for me. :p

Yeah, the Justice of the Peace is sweet. THe best part about it is the cop isn't their to refute what lies you tell, so you can really lay it on thick. If you make up a good story, you can get away with no fine.

All I can say is... WOWZERS....

What exactly were you waving at him?

On another note, eyefloater, does your shop have master link pliers for sale?

Internet nerd question that some of you might know the answer to: Who here has stairs in their house?

I thought maybe somebody here was....I was banned in early 2000 and came back in 2001 but yeah, it started getting stale 2003ish. Lowtax is speaking at Yale next week, weird.

PAK CHOOIE UNF

Now to find the actual law/ruling on the books and quote that the next time it looks like points are coming off.

You probably don't want to do that. They'll slap you for everything they can write you down for. *darkmothers $400 ticket comes to mind*

Internet nerd question that some of you might know the answer to: Who here has stairs in their house?

I too was one of the 0-day members, and still am; never b&'d. I was a big Lowtax fan back in his old PlanetQuake days (~'98) and loved Cranky Steve's Haunted *****house. Another forum I belonged to (AQ2 on fear.net) pestered him endlessly to bring it back after he got fired from PQ, and he started eventually registered SA's domain. We even ran servers to play the worst maps from Crank Steve and it was excellent as everone acted absurdly, which kinda served as a prototype for FYAD.

I'm surprised people quit in '03 as that's when the file forums were formed, which frankly was the best part of SA ever. I swear that Toronto must have the highest per capita number of goons anywhere.

hmmmmm to Operator.

I want to learn American sign language for this reason. If you don't hear them....and don't look at them when they hit the annoying cop buzzer, ANNNN ANNNN! then you can just keep riding. When they finally pull you over, start ranting in sign. Thats prolly bad karma tho. I am going to hell.

Do you think flashing my gang hand symbols would work instead?

I hear there's good skiing in hell.... I'm game...faking deaf... I LIKE it.
Gangs.... like teletubbies vs the barnies?

[QUOTE=cavit8]What exactly were you waving at him?[QUOTE]

my icicle. no wonder he just kept riding.

just had one of those vietnamese subs for lunch. it was tasty, but i don't want to even think about what parts of which animals were in there. shredded "chicken". hm...

no harm no foul don't ask

speaking of music and nerds, have any of you guys seen this site (http://www.last.fm/)? It's pretty neat in a nerdy stats tracking kind of way. I like checking out what other people I know are listening to. Plus you can post things like your most recent tracks or last week's top artists elsewhere on the interwebs (ie. forum signature). When I get home and sync my ipod it updates the list with what I've listened to at work all day, which is why it currently says I haven't listened to anything since yesterday. Here's my page (http://www.last.fm/user/somnambulant/). I signed up around a year ago, but I only started using it constantly in the Fall sometime.

example:

http://imagegen.last.fm/oz-tiger-aw/artists/somnambulant.gif (http://www.last.fm/user/somnambulant/?chartstyle=oz-tiger-aw)

The other nice thing is that based on your listening habits (or other people's) you can also use it for a custom net radio stream that's tailored to your tastes. Nice way to discover new stuff.

That's all. :)

Well most of the stuff is pretty healthy (carrot/parsely) except the vietnamese ham ( no idea has lots of msg). and the lard(?) they put in it (so it doesn't taste ultra dry).

I always get really thirsty after eating them but it's quick cheap food.

^^ above site is unoriginal.

I'm partial to the veggie spring rolls instead

msg == thirsty. :)

and yeah, not the most original concept in the world, but well executed in this case. Especially since you can access the raw xml data and use it however you want, which is nice. It's actually something I plan to use in the project I have in mind. Plus the people who created it are friends of a friend and they're Good People (TM). Oh, and there's lots of hot girls.

ps. Shiznaz: that's Erica my CK hookup in my friends list on there. :)

hey op, i think you mean coriander/cilantro. and the lard is butter. and the meat you're referring to is headcheese. it's kind of like all the undesirable meat (snouts, ears, cheeks, etc.) melted off the cow/pig skull and extruded into a kind of sausage, then sliced up. bahahahahahaha the vietcong-sub police is out with a vengeance. the veggie sub (hold the butter) is a good way to go. they also have a gluten/soy/meatless version. co yen (since closed) also had a roast chicken and pork variety. damn, 2 for 3 bucks, can't go wrong.
forums..blogs..flickr..lastfm.. isn't it a pain in the ass to keep all these things updated? the interweb is damn high maintenance...i only wish i was as organized. good stalking fodder though.
i think we should have more lunch rides when the weather ain't -394C. someone pick a neighbourhood and we all ride out and eat whatever's there.

Critical Vacuum, take two. Anybody who wants to join veteran_youth and me for a relaxed cruise tonight at 930 should meet at the Honest Ed's parking lot. Early enough for you old timers? I'm recovering from the black plague, so it won't be too strenuous. I'm sure Andrew will now post something in which he calls me XXXII flavs. Werd!

XML EW. die die die.
And gokiburi is right. Don't listen to me.

XML is Dog....

Hahahaha you wish 100000flavours. Roman Numerals are so last week, it's all about binary now! Anyway the hilarious bars are off the bike for now but will be back for CM for sure. Being fairly cold I would be down for an underground parking lot trackstand, backward riding, showboating type session, even though I have a race on sunday and should be piling on the miles!

So come one, come all, but remember:

Nature abhors a vacuum.

Andrew

psssst 32=0011001100110010...is this right?
What Sunday race?

actually 32 in binary is just "100000" :)

binary is easy. Each '1' basically means "on" and each '0' means off. The right-most position is "1", and then each digit as you move to the left doubles. so in the example of 32, each position of the above is 32-16-8-4-2-1. So every position is "off" except for 32. So, 33 would be 100001, 34 is 100010, 35 is 100011, etc.

Nerdy enough for you all? moo ahahahahha!

oh, and XML ownz j00

edit: btw, yes I *did* just go back and type out an explanation. ;)

ps. ride tonight is a no-go again for me. I just got home like 20 minutes ago from riding around the city finishing up some shopping for my gf for her bday tomorrow, and now I'm eating, and then I have some freelance shizzle to work on. yay me.

What kind of bloody converter was that?
Now that I think of it of course that's not flippin' 32!

XML is the ****

Still at work no ride fo' me later.
Som... are you all frantic about her bday?
No going to go into base to the power of explanations? Hex and Oct? lol

Remember "The geek shall inherit the earth"

Didn't spend as much time with Oct and Hex in school.. :) I can count up and down in Hex fairly well just for HTML colour codes though, but the literal conversion is more of a calculator thing. :P

I just realized that the MacOS calculator has a "Programmer" mode that's totally insane. I wish I had that back when I was doing Computer Science. :P

Computer science is fer n00bies

Anyone? Aaaanyone?
