Just make a new Comanche thread. Since discussions that were still on-track stopped 13 posts ago and noone has tried to revive it, witness the fastest clicker south of the equator!

I used to send empty smses to the first person on my address book (got myself a SET610) - the joystick/main button is oversensitive and gets pushed in my pocket and keeps doing the default options protocols (go to menu-messages-text messages-write new-send-select recipient-recipient ok? phone number ok?-send) It stopped when I set the auto keypad lock on. RILMS is a Canadian, if I remember correctly. "SMS´ and "text messaging" is apparently a very foreign concept to north Americans - it´s true - read Rheingold´s Wired Mobs. It´s a culture thing. Europeans and Brits, however, are avid texters. Asians even more so, with the Japanese kids at the top (it´s considered rude to talk loudly a la Nu Yawkers, so sms is the alternative). They even develop bigger thumbs because of their habits.

*Yes Dawg, I knew that! I was being funny, hence the &quot;<img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>&quot;* We have to think of some strategy to persuade the pigeons to crap into the biomass receptacle, instead of on the solar cells <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> who was the King of Vulture Men that you once mentioned, Taw? maybe we can hire him as avian liaison. Wiz , who begged me to come back to the &quot;civilized hills of Holland&quot; @ the locked feminist thread, after learning about my now-public obsession with racoon poo; here´s my reply: I don´t know which is funnier, Wiz; the &quot;hills&quot; part or the &quot;civilized&quot; part <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> you joker you!

Put powerful spotlights on top of your roof solar cells, smartass. Power the light with the power generated from the solar cells. That´s what I call a cycle of continuous, renewable energy <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

*Click* Ahh that felt good <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> it´s been a long time. Observe, Dragon: the entire thread is a spam (with the exception of the early replies). Now learn well, grasshopper!

This thread made me laugh. Thx guys, I needed that <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Now back to the topic - I suggest everybody go and get Newsweek, the Double Issue Edition 6/13 September: Hybrid Future. Great stuff. You were all putting great ideas, but the real answer is not any of them, but ALL of them. Instead just pumping funds into windmills, solars, or nuke, there should be one integrated concept that harnesses all of those potentials. The ideal environmental utopia would be: 1. More windmills - Chips already showed us how great they were! 2. Better houses: triple-glazed windows for better insulation, preferably geothermally heated, etc. 3. Biomass - flush that yesterday´s lunch down the toilet and re-use them to cook your next meal. There should be one giant septic tank for every block, and tap the biomass gas. Also saves on your bills. 4. Solar cells on every roof! not very useful in England, but every little bit helps. Works wonders in tropical areas. You can store your energy in your own underground battery, or re-sell it to the grid - this way you get discounts from your electric company. Not just the solar power - you can actually re-tap every heat generated in your houses/apartment buildings, provided they are properly insulated. Stale, outgoing heated air and drained bathwater contributes! And this helps the grid too. Being too far from the powerplant/source actually wastes the energy in the form of heat emanating from the powerlines. 5. Drive better cars - hybrids, LNG (liquid natural gas) fueled, or even a better futuristic version of a plug-in car that recharges at night in your own house. Some might consider this as an attack on their lifestyles - well it´s not. In fact, ALL major car companies have at least one &quot;futuristic&quot; (either hybrid or alternative energy-fueled) SUV design coming in the next 1 or 2 years. You can still get the secure feeling of driving a tank, but pay less for fuel. 6. Corn-producing areas should consider burning corn cobs for alternative fuels, instead of wood (save yourself from that tree-hugging lynching party). Work out some deal with the local canned-corn factory. 7. Just behave better - wear sweaters instead of turning that heat up. Instead of heating your bedroom, use electric blankets instead. Or like my case (living in a hot tropical climate), if you have airconditioner in your bedroom, set it on timer when going to sleep - you only need it at the beginning to fall into sleep comfortably. 8. Governments should start limiting the numbers of cars travelling in the streets. Use some color-sticker for the day scheme to work it out. People whose car are not allowed to go out on mondays, for example, either cycle or use public transport. (Maybe this should apply to older cars, hybrids and other futuristics get an exempt - this prompts people to switch faster). 9. Add more suggestions to the Eco-Utopia Wish List!

Damn governments and their disapproval of our classic Jesuit corporeal punishment! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> My highschool was a wussy Carmelite school - I used to envy the Jesuit school at the other end of the town. It was famous for its discipline - units that train there gain a +2 honour and +1 virtue and morale <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

What the heck is a &quot;tetragrammaton&quot; anyway? who came up with that name? did they make it up? I tried to look it up but (gee surprise!) no result

Was just going to post about it. 8 confirmed dead, over 160 wounded; all Indonesians - I don´t get how we´re fighting the evil kafir westerners by killing fellow countrymen (and Muslims), at that?? can someone explain that? Anybody got a spare nuke out there? go ahead, do us. WE DESERVE IT. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_angry.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

So you beat an ancient civilization that didn´t know that crossing a parted sea riding war chariots was a bad idea. Big deal <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> seriously, I don´t know what a polynomial is.

Aelk, stop getting annoyed, they´ll just make more fun of you. Noone in this board support that kind of treatment to women or support slavery - they just do to tease you. Hell they do it with Locutus coz he´s gay, Arcon´s inability to get a girlfriend, and my affection for boiled raccoon poo (this one is true, I swear <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>) the only difference is the rest of us just take it and just jab back - in the same playful way of course. You once proclaimed yourself to be a feminist and they make fun of that. It´s nothing personal although it seems that way. Now play nice - us mods hate it when we have to interrupt our paper-rock-scissor competition <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

You marry your twin?

@DSQ: gee, how much effort did you put out to make that many typos?

<A href=´http://www.ravensbrew.com/NewFiles/kopiluwak.html´ Target=_Blank>Kopi Luwak</a> is the best-tasting coffee in the world, and I´ve tasted almost all of them - I´m a coffee afficionado and my last workplace was a Japanese-run coffee plantation. Luwak <i>beats the crap out </i> (pun fully intended, click the link to get my meaning <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>) of that overhyped Jamaican Blue Mountain. Sells almost as pricey as gold of the same weight anywhere else in the world, but in Indonesia this international luxury is very affordable. <A href=´http://www.sallys-place.com/beverages/coffee/kopi_luwak.htm´ Target=_Blank>Another link for Kopi Luwak</a> I also like Balinese and Sumatra Mandheling and a good strong, dark-roasted Colombian brews. Other than that, cappuccino is always a good choice when you want to taste coffee but has exceeded your caffeine quota for the day - almost half of it is milk. Hot or iced it´s a delicious drink I take it usually with two lumps of sugar. I add milk (not creamer) sometimes when I feel like it.

@Taw: I AM home, Taw. I´m Indonesian. You all got your first glimpse at me when I was away in college close to Eraser, Loc and Wizard and Mad Dog (ahh the sweet memories of broadband connection).

Indy : when your wife says that a Chinaman is more ´hung´ than you, then you know you´re in trouble <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Whoa, I never knew you thought so highly of me - thanks.

It was white again around 10pm (note: I live in Indonesia, relatively close to kimk - he lives in malaysia)

Legolas might have argued that it was because &quot;blood has been spilled tonight&quot;...
