Cheers Turks, that’ll do nicely.
Oh and that’s DR NeonSamurai to the rest of you oiks.

A cool, responsive keyboard that’s also illuminated for looking at ‘art’ in total darkness thanks to its illuminated keys. Which is what I use.
Superb.
It’s getting to be a pretty close race between SOIA and Old Phart as to whom gets my vote at the next election.
Meh. I might buy it for the unlocks, but that’s probably all I’d get out of it. Young Turks has a good idea with the maps suggestion, but I wonder how you’d implement the other parts of the pack? It’s a bit like road to Jalalalabalabad. It was a free map and a pretty good one so suddenly it was on every server. EF and AF didn’t work ‘cos not everyone could play them, so using them in a server rotation was risky.
Here’s my suggestions as to what should go in a booster pack:
1) New Class – Commander: Giving you a total of 5 different classes, the commander class would be ommit a rifle or heavy weapon for a large calibre pistol, or the engineers’ SMG. He would have unlocks that would speed up the rate at which his toys would recharge, maybe a cloaking device similar to the recon kit which he could use whilst viewing the battlefield and perhaps access to a new toy like a laser satellite which could be used to take out individual targets, like snipers.
2) More weapon unlocks – For all classes, more unlocks like heavier armour, guideable parachutes, etc.
3) Extra Vehicle weapons – How about giving you a choice of rounds in the tank, so you can select between Armour Piercing and HE? Giving the gunships a choice between Air to Surface and Air to Air missiles? You could select them in the same way that you change weapons when on foot.
4) New Maps – Yeah. I know, but what I’d do is give the people who brought the booster the new maps earlier than anybody else. i.e. The maps will be released in a general patch 2 months later. That way, the die hards could have a go on the maps before anybody else.

Good point LeGit, but I would go one better and drop children behind enemy lines. Here’s my proposal:
We’re at war with Russian and losing badly. Get a bunch of kids aged 5-12 and let them eat loads of sweets and crisps. Make them watch the Tweenies, or Lazy Town or whatever for about 4 hours until they’re fidgiting and restless and then parachute a few thousand of them into the Kremlin. Jebus! Can you imagine that? 2000 hyperactive kids running wild in the Kremlin, half wanting the toilet, the other half wanting “more sweets!” or asking “what does this do?” They’d be like the energizer bunny on speed. It’d be a frickin’ nightmare.
The war would be over in hours.
Took me 3 bloody hours to get home from London yesterday!
If I lived on a hill I’d have a few wind turbines setup as well as a few solar panels. Well, actually I do like on a hill, but there’s no space for stuff like that down my street.
Dammnit Turks!
I wrote a couple of sentences about brutalist buildings last year and I still haven’t recieved my master’s in architecture, or engineering or whatever it was supposed to be through the post. Your uni gave a degree to Cat Stevens and I bet he didn’t do anything thing like that. Alright, here’s my views on symbolism, but I’d better get a super-advanced degree this time or there’ll be trouble!
St Pancras and Kings Cross are nice stations externally. They seem to be quite romantic (not in a gay way) structures, that herald back to better times. For some reason they remind me of European architecture, but also seem very proud and determined to stand out, like it was an achievement that they were built.
Westminster tube station on the other hand seems to be slightly self concious, like it needs to be minimalist to shy away from the money that was spent on it. Whereas in days gone by a new building was a triumph, it’s now almost as if they’re an embarrassment. And I don’t think that Westminster tube is function over form. Sure it’s well laid out, but I think that they went out of their way to try and make it look minimalist AND nice.
For my money content is always more important than style (just look at my dress sense), but since when to architects care about that? Look at oilrigs. Those are built purely to do a job, not to look nice, but they’re in the middle of the North Sea, so no-one really cares. Stations like Westminster and to a lesser extent Waterloo and London Bridge seem to be designed to give a somewhat cold, business-like feel to them but it is just style rather than a genuinely streamlined structure (imho).
Actually I’ve changed my mind, make me a Doctor of medicine as that’s a license to print money.
Thanks in advance

Sorry fellows, but it won’t do any good.
The main reason that the government is introducing road pricing is because petrol is going to run out eventually, and how else are they going to charge us for using the roads if they can’t tax fuel?
Electric cars or hydrogen fuel cells would be notoriously hard to find ways of taxing, so they’re going to charge us for the privilege of using the roads instead. But it won’t end there, in London we currently have the congestion charge, but using this system (and the governments agreement) they could introduce congestion charging ANYWHERE.
It’s a shit situation, but from what I’ve heard the decision is already set in stone.
Pah!
I can’t be bothered to wait for the future and it’s X600 chips, so I’ve built my own graphics card that runs twice as fast as the fastest card around and costs half as much. And it uses DX11 and can make your PC CPU run faster.
Well I say built, but I’ve just made a picture of what it looks like, which I think is probably the hardest part.
Pah you losers hanging on for the X600 chips should instead hang on for PCI-E 2.0:
Or, if you hang on for another 5 years they’ll have… like… brain interfaces… or, erm… something better.
