In a previous job, one of the girls in my team was married to one of McLarens fuel men. He was responsible for the fuel rigs (in the days of refueling), making sure that the fuel was always at the right temp, and that the FIA got their fuel samples when requested. He always said he loved the job which was 3 days of massive stress during the race weekend, the rest of the time was pretty much paperwork. He seemed to spend more time travelng than actually working.

That's one seriously fancy arm, but why is there not a built in bottle opener? Someone seriously missed a trick there!

"Konami's 25th Metal Gear Solid anniversary "

Surely that should be 15th, or did MGS really come out in 1988?

Still, it's nice to see game art get some recognition - there are some tremendously talented artists out there.

Re: Not Made By Me!

Correction totally accepted!

PsychoHippy
WTF?

Not Made By Me!

The best bacon sarnie has to be the one that has been made for me by the wife, on the first morning of any festival that we happen to be at!

It dosen't matter how it's made, or what's in it - as long as I didn't have to make it.

No doubt the Mrs will take great pleasure in shouting out some command from the sofa while I am playing, just like she does on Mass Effect 3. I've lost track of the number of deaths that has caused me, still it keeps her happy, and a happy Mrs = a well fed Hippy :D

Re: Re: Re: Nibiru related theory?

Surely that is a 'Cruel and unusual punishment' and against some sort of convention or human rights or some other 'let's be nice to people' law. I'm not sure even the BOFH would stoop that low!

Just how do they calculate the mean time between failures?

They quote 2 million hours (about 200 years), so do they test 1000 of them for a few months and extrapolate from that? Or do they just pluck a figure out of air at random?

Paris because I'm sure she could go for 2 million hours :)

When are the article writers going to start using correct SI units? I don't want to know these fancy 'light year' distances, I want to know how many double decker bus lengths it is!
