yeah no i know it happens when the airlines have an alliance. Alaska must be part of One World then.
This is pretty cool. Thought it was another aeons-late portal joke but it's actually a fancily-dressed-up always-on teleconferencing solution.
Registered!
Do they give you $5 or do they want $5? If it's the former, yes - then delete it.
The first one is the low poly comment, yes?
If only more people caught on. Pixel counting is the worst thing to listen to this gen, after last gen's incessant whining about ovals and jaggies.
More Zelda love today....
Last night I reached a rather significant point in the game. All I'll say is that this particular location has such a wonderful ambience and the music is beautifully subdued. The most recent boss encounter prior to it was also another excellent spectacle.
More generally, the controls for this game are sublime. I cannot imagine playing a third person sword wielding game without these controls as an option anymore. After playing it last night I went to sleep thinking about how perfectly realised they are and how I hope it's a new standard. Then this morning I see in Gaming side that they are retaining motion controls for Wii U Zelda.

I just got an email invite to the JB Hi-Fi NOW trial.

Looks like it's all up.

Mental note: Never quote a comment with a spoiler you don't want to read.
Damnit.
Damnit.

Eh, it's not your fault, I was just going to respond to the pixel counting comment with some smart arse quip how we'd never have any progress if everyone thought like that, so it's probably well deserved.

I actually thought the movie did a fantastic job of sticking to the original material. A few plot lines had to be dropped (most of which were reinstated on the DVD release) but it translated over quite well.
Preacher is damn good. Also check out his run on Hellblazer.
Trans is indeed fantastic.
Scott Pilgrim was a very big moment for me. Started out fun and enjoyable before I eventually realised a lot of things about myself. Especially how tiny things that we do can have a huge affect on other people. Even to the point where I apologised to an ex-girlfriend who screwed me around big time and I then cut out of my life. The idea of keeping the complete picture in mind with everything I do has paid off really well and I think made me a much better person for it.
Found the last 2 volumes to be a very meloncolic experience.

guys i want them to bring back police quest
come on Telltale!

They already put out half arsed rehashes of Monkey Island and Jurassic Park. Why destroy all of my childhood memories!
Naughty Gods could do a great Police Quest revival. Or Irrational.
did you guys see that jetstar plane that got 50k's from the ground well out of melbourne airport
Tiger was grounded for being 500m close to the ground at the wrong point yet jetstar is not.....
also, reading into it, its incredibly hard to do that in a modern jet. I play simulators a lot (yeah i know i know its not a real plane but it does simulate the real systems) and the planes pretty much land themselves these days aside from the final 500 feet.
So how the heck they managed to do that is amazing, they would have had to ignore a major glideslope warning, a GPWS (ground proxmity warning) and a big warning that their flaps were set wrong
Jetstar has sent them both back to pilot school, but seriously they must have had the Autopilot off big time.
Not saying a simulator is anything like the real aircraft (aside from those they use to train pilots), and not saying i could pass the instruments test that they need to, but having done a lot of research as to how this all works and putting hours into learning it in a sim, its hard to see how a pilot with 1000s of hours of experience could create such a big problem for themselvs.

Maybe Jetstar only employee trainee pilots? Or maybe some pilots watch too much Top Gun. Or maybe they were busy bangin' stewards.

they have first officers with only 300 flight hours
that, is insanity.
you are generally a second officer for at least 1500-2000 hours apparently.

past the ozone layer even.
A JETSTAR Airbus A320 slipped to within 51 metres of the ground during a botched, aborted landing at Melbourne airport, as pilots fumbled with wrong flap settings and a cacophony of cockpit alarms, Australian Transport Safety Bureau investigators have found.

I was just going to post that. Hilarious. Although he does make a good point. The debate the role of taxation has devolved to the point of nonsense.
You know, if he didn't try to ban the internet I think I'd like Conroy. He seems like one of the few politicians around that has an actual personality. And isn't Bob Katter

50k's? What unit of measurement is this? Aviation industry uses feet for height and nautical miles for distance.
Quite high.
sigh
50 feet i meantsorry
Quite low.
Approximately one-six-thousandth the way to the Moon even.
It's metres now, is it? My uni physics brain is hurting thanks to your complete and utter abuse of measurement systems and interchanging units willy-nilly.
Go sit in the naughty corner for 120 Coulomb's per Ampere and have a think about what you have done.
Melbourne Airport has this setup
Category III B A precision instrument approach and landing with:
a) a decision height lower than 50 feet (15 m) above touchdown zone elevation, or no decision height (alert height); and
b) a runway visual range less than 200 meters (660 ft) but not less than 75 meters (246 ft). Autopilot is used until taxi-speed. In the United States, FAA criteria for CAT III B runway visual range allows readings as low as 150 ft (46 m).
If you are making a decision to land or not at 15 metres, the plane is landing itself pretty much.
London Heathrow has a system which allows 747s, A330s, A340s and A380s to land without any pilot intervention. This is due to the mega fog they get. There is video of a Air New Zealand 747 performing a full CAT III ILS approach @ Heathrow on youtube.

New avatar works incredibly well with all this science talk. By chance do you have a masters in something?
I know its not my fault, but forget the spoiler entirely as I got the names mixed up. I wont even say what I was wrong about.
No. Started a PhD many moons ago but bailed out due to a few external factors.
I caught you before the ninja edit
No you didn't you liar.
Orbi can't make tonight's DnD after all, so there might be room for a different new character if anyone has the whole night free from 6pm or so (no guarantees). We start the campaign at 7 and we need to create your character before then, but we can roll something for you based on a few decisions you make pretty quick, so if interested, pop into the Steam chat.

Got my new glasses today from Clearly Contacts after only 5 days. Super fast! Too bad I didn't look at the frames properly so they are like half an inch smaller than my other ones so they don't cover my whole eye. Fuck!
Going from 25mm to 32mm so hopefully that will fix that issue. Plus hopefully they will exchange them out of the kindness of their heart.
