Declarations of love
Someone sent me a gaz at 2am this morning telling me they love me. Ahhh.
When did someone surprise you by telling you they loved you?
Alt: can you remember the first someone (other than family) told you they loved you? Did you reciprocate or tell them to fuck off?
Altalt: ever been in a situation of unrequited love?
Altaltalt: cunt off you fucking spastic window licking pissface.

one of the guys at work text me to tell me he loved me.
Turned out it was meant for his girlfriend, but briefly I was creeped out.
First person was a first girlfriend, we loved eachother desperately for about 6 months until she left me for Tom Gammon.

i used to be a chef nakkers,
The only way I found to get em crispy on the outside, and moist in the middle efficiently was to cook em nearly perfect. Then bosh em in the deep fat fryer for a few seconds to crisp off a little, the only problem being you'd have to put new oil in every Sunday, as potatoes pick up the flavours in the oil, in a way that chips don't. It was fine where I was in a relatively small kitchen, but you ask your aveage chef to do a fryer deep clean every Sunday morning along with the rest of the Sunday prep and you'll summarily told to jump off a cliff.

When i was a teenager my best friend was a somewhat stout 'new age traveller' type girl who lived in a caravan. We had much fun going to festivals and generally caning it up*. After a good year of larking about she confessed her undying love for me. I had no idea she felt that way and was aghast. I just didn't feel the same way and she fucked off in something of a state to America and followed Jane's Addiction on tour. I think she has a kid (or two) with their drummer.
I miss her actually, she was a right fucking laugh.
*she dealt LSD and would give them to me to 'test drive' when she got new batches.

My computer's in the sitting room and the toilet isn't
and I haven't played WOW in over a year, but otherwise you'd only be right if it was a moth that declared for me.
Which it wouldn't.

See, why do you need to add that cravat that you were pissed? It implies, in this context, that you only liked it cus you had a few drinks.

No, but that's mabye why it was funnier than it would have been
be honest, "mainstream" blockbusters like Battleship, Transformers etc are shit by their very definition. they aim for the lowest common denominator.

have you seen the first "video" from Curiosity?
I am genuinly excited for the first high def photos and video, would be amazing if you could watch "live on the net!

I have, they're great
it's going to be a while yet, they only have a limited amount of bandwidth and they're sending it upgrades for it's software first.

They had "landing software" on the computer,
now they're changing it to "drive around software"

You'd think they'd chuck a bigger hard drive in there.
Or would the weight of a couple of extra platters be as impractical on a metal robot the size of a Mini as a plastic bodyshell?

Space computers are generally shit by desktop standards.
Curiosity has a:
200mhz cpu
2Gb flash memory
256mb Dram
256kilobites of program memory.
The problem is not only the weight, it's that they have to work at -50C survive being shaken to shit on take off and be flooded with radiation for ages.

The only reason they give is low power requirements.
Which on a rover with a battery that last 14 years, I'm really struggling to see the point.

It only kicks out about 100 watts I think.
And a lot of the power is used to power heaters to stop it from freezing.

OK, now that makes sense.
Though personally, I'd half the battery life, increase the wattage and put a decent bloody computer in there.

I can't see why any of that stuff would be more survivable than desktop standard components, frankly.
The one thing I can think of that'd cause problems is the amount of radiation a powerful CPU puts out and the shielding required to protect the rest of a computer. However, compared to the size of the rover, I again fail to see how that'd be such a huge problem.

My highly attuned sense are detecting sarcasm, here.
Though I would like somebody to explain to me why a 1995 era Powerbook is the level of technology we're using to run a rover of that sophistication. There's no practical reason to do so aside from the amount of power that battery puts out.*
It'd make more sense to have shorter battery life and more powerful onboard components.
*that I can see. I am obviously sure that there are reasons, I just don't know what they are.

I agree with you here, I'm not sure why they do it
apart from the tried and tested question, but still a computer from 2000 or so has had time to show up any bugs

Reasons
It was designed 10 years ago, uses military grade chips to protect against high background radiation in space, and it doesn't run Windows so doesn't need to be that powerful. Simple and reliable is best.

Frankie Boyle zinged Chris Brown hard on twitter yesterday.
Chris Brown: I think skateboarding should be in the olympics
Frankie Boyle: Good idea, then they just need to put intergender boxing in and you'll be in with a chance
