  1. @fansid It's quite often a religious thing - alcohol is banned in Islam. 4:33 AM Mar 1st via web in reply to fansid
  2. @fansid Probably not, NA drinking laws are complicated and tend to have a higher age than UK - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_dri… 4:21 AM Mar 1st via web in reply to fansid
  3. @simonpcook @Metritutus 200+ tweets, about 10 of which aren't replies, it's the way to go :P 6:33 AM Feb 25th via web in reply to simonpcook
  4. @deanlove Though in actuality it will be more than 50% below the national mean due to the higher spread of speeds above the average. 4:04 AM Feb 23rd via web in reply to deanlove
  5. @deanlove Only if the average they're using is the median, but I'm guessing it's actually the mean. 3:55 AM Feb 23rd via web in reply to deanlove
  6. @simonpcook Also, what sizes? Left->Right I'm guessing 17", 22", 15" and laptop is 12"? 7:11 PM Feb 18th via web in reply to simonpcook
  7. @simonpcook Is that a cannibalised laptop monitor in the background? 7:07 PM Feb 18th via web in reply to simonpcook
  8. @simonpcook Yeah, tweets on the right now. I thought I remembered you saying something about it, but wasn't sure if that was the last one :P 4:22 PM Feb 13th via web in reply to simonpcook
  9. Twitter just went backwards, that was a surprise. @simonpcook you know anything about this update, I'm surprised I haven't seen any posts. 2:53 PM Feb 13th via web
  10. @Metritutus OK, that seriously sounds as if it's a "training to be Q" module... 7:59 AM Feb 9th via web in reply to Metritutus
  11. @battsamubble You're just trying to save face now :P 8:19 PM Jan 21st via web in reply to battsamubble
  12. @battsamubble Yes you can. d0/dx = 0. Same for any constant. 4:41 PM Jan 21st via web in reply to battsamubble
  13. @HarryTorry Solution: Write a plugin/script that autoresponds to those who only ask questions to automatically Google what they say. 5:17 AM Jan 17th via web in reply to HarryTorry
  14. @HarryTorry Hey, maybe I should do that! :P 4:06 PM Jan 16th via web in reply to HarryTorry
  15. @simonpcook The blackout stuff is gaining a lot of traction, lots of places announcing plans. 10:51 AM Jan 13th via web in reply to simonpcook
  16. @fansid Compare it to last year and it's very mild :P 4:13 AM Jan 9th via web in reply to fansid
  17. @joethetree The theory is sound, but that video isn't. Esp the controls. Also, it claims the track contains superconductors, yet no LN2. 10:08 AM Jan 4th via web in reply to joethetree
  18. @joethetree Shame it's CGI. 8:52 AM Jan 4th via web in reply to joethetree
  19. @Battsamubble Also, mu is it's own character and wouldn't be written mu (is actually a u with a tail on the left aswell). 12:36 PM Jan 3rd via web in reply to battsamubble
  20. @Battsamubble Fair enough, doesn't matter though, multiplication is commutative - order doesn't matter, answers are the same. 12:34 PM Jan 3rd via web in reply to battsamubble
