Prijatelj?fresh_42 said:Well, at least the French seemingly don't want to change a winning team! So how about "copain"?
Good idea. Apart from American Handegg (Patriots) I like underdogs.WWGD said:Prijatelj?

fresh_42 said:Probably better so. I don't think that the Belgians would have had a good chance against Croatia ...
WWGD said:Croatia makes it!
And I won a chocolate bar and water as a result. I am betting on Croatia on the final. Habout you, freshmeister?fresh_42 said:![]()

That's how many drinks are born. Start thinking of a name for it!skyshrimp said:I just mixed Red Bull and orange juice in a pint glass full to the top with ice. I made it sour with a little ascorbic acid.

I'll try it with pineapple juice next.

I have a hypothesis: If Europe - {UK , IRL} would start to drive on the left, it would take at most a month until UK started to drive on the right. Eventually the only way to change this. I'm not quite sure about Eire. Guess they wouldn't change anything in the first place.WWGD said:British say Maths.
Why not just drive in reverse all the way?fresh_42 said:I have a hypothesis: If Europe - {UK , IRL} would start to drive on the left, it would take at most a month until UK started to drive on the right.

I immediately thought of a Dutch DAF 600 such that it would make at least fun. But then I recognized, that probably every electric powered car can run as fast in reverse as in normal. Finally I understood what they're good for!WWGD said:Why not just drive in reverse all the way?
I told you Schrödinger.com was a bad idea!WWGD said:Weird problem: webpage suddenly stops displaying scrollbar. Navigating that page was like drinking coffee with a fork. Solved it finally. EDIT: And the scrollbar disappeared again.
And back on...Strange thing is that it is only this one webpage.fresh_42 said:I told you Schrödinger.com was a bad idea!
I guess that's what programming is about. Everybody can find a bug in a code, but these little, devious sometimes thingies are mean as hell.WWGD said:And back on...Strange thing is that it is only this one webpage.
Why, what's wrong with these programmers, can't they just consider the [infinitely many] ways in which the program [OS] can be implemented?fresh_42 said:I guess that's what programming is about. Everybody can find a bug in a code, but these little, devious sometimes thingies are mean as hell.
Next time it happens, try resizing your browser slightly. It will have to recalculate the window size and the scrollbar should return.WWGD said:And back on...Strange thing is that it is only this one webpage.
That reminds me of a story they told at the National Computing Museum. They have a very early relay-based computer there. Apparently the guys who used it wanted to leave it running over Christmas once, but wanted to be able to check it hadn't crashed. But no one wanted to sit in a freezing Nissen hut and miss Christmas dinner if the program hadn't died.dlgoff said:Bringing back memories of many sleepless nights waiting for an output.
