Does anyone know if i buy an Ipod touch in the USA whether it will work in Australia?


I presume it would (i see know reason why it wouldn't) but i'm a tad paranoid.

Regarding Family Guy:

Back before Stewie came out as a gay baby, Seth McFarlane said that in some episodes Stewie was straight, and in some he was gay. Saying it was easier making jokes that way. I always wondered, why didn't he just make him Bi?

Ask in the PC thread on gaming side.
There's some options in the control panel somewhere.

Will do, thanks. Erm, another stupid question...which PC thread? I only have seen the "I need a new PC" one but I don't think my question goes there.

Liquor-GAf, I am trying to be cheap when I go out, but I have a sweet tooth. Can anyone recommend a cocktail that is very, very strong but does not taste like gasoline at the same time? So far, I like Mai tais but i want some variety.

heres a few


Cosmo (has a very high liquor content, almost double other similar drinks)
Adios motherfucker (long island with clue curacao and sprite instead of triple sec and coke)
Slutty redhead (jaeger, peach schnapps, cranberry)
Washington apple (crown royal, apple pucker, cranberry)
Surfer on acid (jaeger, malibu, pineapple)
Porn Star (many different variations but the one I like is absolute raspberry, blue curacao, pineapple, 7up, splash of malibu)
Melonball (midori, vodka, orange juice)
Vulcan Mind Probe (vodka, gin, rum, bourbon, triple sec, amaretto, sweet and sour mix, grenadine)
Zombie (light rum, dark rum, grenadine, triple sec, apricot brandy, orange juice, sweet and sour mix, rose's lime)

Why don't you think it goes in there? I think it's a pretty reasonable question to ask in that thread and I'm sure someone will help you out since I believe the people posting there are quiet knowledgeable about PCs.

Oh, anyone know where I can pick up movie posters (think District 9 or inglorious bastards) that are around 10-15 dollars?
Have you checked here?

Another site. Here.
 
Is my avatar too large? It says 90 x 120 in the FAQ, and it is 90 x 90 so I should be safe but I just want to be safe. Thanks
 
I just finished watching an episode of Curb your Enthusiasm and I was wondering what if a man went into Victoria's Secret and what wanted to purchase a bra for himself. What would happen? Can he try it on if he wanted to?
 
1. Why is it that on news stations when they are doing translations of someone talking from a non english speaking country, they use translators who are native to the other language and not English? I would much prefer a translator who is English and can speak Persian rather than an Iranian who can speak English. I can't understand what they are saying through their thick accents.

2. How do news station decide on which missing white girl to talk about for the next few months? The US has like 300 million people. I can only assume that a huge amount of people go missing every day. And why is there never a missing black person?
 
Are pennies really considered legal tender?

I am watching this video of this jackass paying to get his car from an impound lot and he paid the $88 in pennies. The clerk refuses to accept it but the guy insisted that they were required by law to accept it. I certainly wouldn't want to count out all the pennies.

I would think that they have the right to accept them as payment in this case.
 
I hope I get an answer in this thread because this one has been bothering me a lot.

Why do double yous ( W ) look like double vees ( V + V ) and not like a double you ( U + U ) as it should?

a U

a V

a double V = W

a double U = ?

This is a non-stupid question that deserves its own thread but I'm scared of what said thread would turn into.

So I'm looking at this page because I need another HDMI cord. I just need a cord to go from my cable box to my TV. What's with all the 22 AWG, 28 AWG, Tin plated, copper plated, 1.3a, ferrite core, in-wall-installation, category 2 balderdash? Simply put, I don't know what the hell I need. All I know is that I need the cord to be around 5ft. I keep getting the feeling that all this techno-babble is more or less unnecessary and confusing.

Help please. :(

Can no one help? :(
 
I need help.

I'm trying to remember an animated film from possibly the late 80's, early 90's, it had like a fat rich white cat and some big fat dog who hung around boxcars. There was a musical number like every 15 minutes.

Also, I can't spot it on any of wiki's List of Animated Films or List of Films With Animals

fuuuuuuu

Someone's gotta know.

Regardless if it's a chore to count all of the pennies, it's still money.
 
Should I see Haeundae, The Invention of Lying, Capitalism A Love Story, or Zombieland for the second time? These are the only choices based on what the group could agree on and the theater.
 
What are some of the tallest buildings to have been purposely demolished? I'm really not going for some truther angle; I'm just curious how well they can control the ground area the wreckage covers when there's so much extra mass vertically.

My searches find the Singer Building to have been the tallest, but the design with the top part being soooo much smaller than the bottom part kinda seems to cheat its way out of the mass-per-ground-area problems I had in mind.

You can't see it in this font, but some people write a small w as two small us

Well, this is not quite the answer, but in Spanish:

W = Uve doble (double vee)

So I guess the British guy who decided to call it double you couldn't see very well?

Latin. V is U. So.. Gaivs, in English is Gaius. Maybe, thats how I see it anyway.

I've been wondering this myself. In Swedish 'W' is called "dubbelve".

"Dubbel" = "double", "ve" = "vee". So that makes more sense, I think. What's wrong isn't how the letter looks, but the English name for it (even though the sound 'W' makes in English is closer to 'U' than 'V', I guess).
 
There's a term for the phenomena wherein you are introduced to a new word and then encounter it again for a second time within a short period of time. Sounds German or Russian, I think? Does anyone know what it is?
 
Can someone explain why I was given my subhandle (see left) after posting the Anal Sex thread (my third thread)? Or more appropriately, why other people get to post whole heaps of useless threads that fail, such as this guy but nobody gives a shit? Do people just not like me, or what?

It's "double u" in English because that's the sound it makes. Has nothing to do with how it looks.
I don't know the answer, but lower-case "w"s when written in freehand are generally curved like "u"s, no?

You should be happy you have a tag that makes you unique. I'd rather have one than just have "Member" under my name.

I hope my plan to get a tag works
