Sounds fun, gonna try these out.

I'm glad I don't remember that movie.

Holy f*ck...

It's even funnier imagining he was listening to this song

Are you able to open up the case? Would be interesting to see what it looks like on the inside, take a few pictures if you can... Or just use this free tool and post some screens here? http://www.piriform.com/speccy

Yeah, I mean cheap in comparison... What are your specs? This is from the box that I still keep Doesn't require much, but then it's just a controller. The software for drawing (PS, Corel Draw/Painter, Sketchbook etc.) often need a lot of RAM and some CPU power. A good graphics card is needed for rendering some of the more advanced effects etc. What are you planning on using?

Nice! This is the tablet I've used the last couple of years, I can really recommend it. It's cheap but it isn't limiting in any way I can think of. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005HGBEZ2?pc_redir=1401497449&robot_redir=1

Something I made in tribute to the Meshuggah album called "Catch 33". A conceptual album that I keep close to my heart. I love it.

Sadly, it's exactly what Steve says... Almost no one cares if the artist isn't well known. Personally I hate how overrated some of the old artists like Da Vinci, Van Gogh etc. are. I see nothing special in their works and there are people way more talented alive today that will never get any recognition whatsoever.

My nephew would absolutely love this.

*Evil laugh*

I know what you mean... That's why you practice the things you aren't good at Duh

Surgeons from the UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, are set to begin suspended animation trials by dramatically cooling down trauma victims in an effort to keep them alive during critical operations. Twenty years ago, Peter Safar and Ron Bellamy proposed that the rapid induction of hypothermia could "buy time" for a trauma surgical team to control bleeding. Now, thanks to the work of Peter Rhee and Samuel Tisherman, this idea is officially ready for prime time. EPR-CAT "We are suspending life, but we don't like to call it suspended animation because it sounds like science fiction," noted Tisherman in a New Scientist article. "So we call it emergency preservation and resuscitation." The idea is to buy patients precious time during critical operations, such as after a massive heart attack, stabbings, or shootings. The technique will be used on 10 patients who would otherwise be expected to die from their injuries. The doctors on the project will be paged when a candidate patient arrives at the hospital; there's usually one case like this every month, typically with survival rates less than 7%. It's part a feasibility and safety study, called the Emergency Preservation and Resuscitation for Cardiac Arrest from Trauma (EPR-CAT). Because patients cannot give informed consent, the study will be conducted under theexception-from-informed consent process, which includes community consultation and public notification. So, if you live in the Pittsburgh area, and this seems too risky for you, you have to opt out (which you can do here). How It Works This technique involves internal rather than external cooling. A team of surgeons will remove all of the patient's blood, replacing it with a cold saline solution; the cold fluid is administered through a large tube, called a cannula, which is placed into the aorta, the largest artery in the body. This will slow down the body's metabolic functions, significantly reducing its need for oxygen. Then, a heart-lung bypass machine will be used to restore blood circulation and oxygenation as part of the resuscitation process. A state of profound hypothermia will be induced, at about 50ºF (10ºC), to provide a "prolonged period of cardiac arrest" after extensive bleeding. In other words, clinical death. The technique, which was developed by Peter Rhee, was successfully tested on pigs back in 2000 (his resulting study can be found here). Writing in C|Net, Michelle Starr explains more: After inducing fatal wounds in the pigs by cutting their arteries with scalpels, the team replaced the pigs' blood with saline, which lowered their body temperature to 10 degrees Celsius. All of the control pigs, whose body temperature was left alone, died. The pigs who were resuscitated at a medium speed demonstrated a 90 percent survival rate, although some of their hearts had to be given a jump start. Afterwards, the pigs demonstrated no physical or cognitive impairment. The technique, therefore, will only be used as an emergency measure on patients who have suffered cardiac arrest after severe traumatic injury, with their chest cavity open and having lost at least half their blood already — injuries that see only a seven percent survival rate. The survival rate of these patients will then be measured against a control group that has not received the treatment before further testing can begin. The human body can only be placed in this state for a few hours, so we're still quite a ways off from the suspended animation typically featured in sci-fi. But if this technique is any indication, we may get there just yet. Sources:

I'm not saying this was a conspiracy, I believe what happened. That was just a joke.

Maybe they would if it was a high capacity combat assault magazine knife... But then everyone knows that guns are insidious, evil tools that possess people and turn them into murderers!

Scary. One summer when I was in 6th grade we went on a field trip in Stockholm. After a while the sky we saw black clouds coming pretty fast and it started to rain within minutes, the most rain I've ever experienced in Sweden... So we started leaving because we heard thunder and all our clothes were soaked. After walking 20 meters from the plain were we had been I just turned my head to look back and when I did, lighting struck the ground at just that particular spot were we sat. The sound was terrifying, like a bomb going off and you could instantly feel the air pressure changing... Closest I've ever been to lightning. It was about as close as the tree in the background in your pic.

The problems with using conditioner only, is that it doesn't clean your hair. It traps most of the grease you have in your dirty hair. This will make your hair look and feel super greasy and it weighs it down. When you have greasy hair, sweat gets trapped below in your scalp. That hot and moist environment is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria/fungi. When I had long hair I used to skip the shampoo and only use hot water, sometimes conditioner. It got super greasy and I wanted that because it would get so frizzy otherwise. Guess what, after a couple of months I had fungal infection in my scalp, something I've yet to get rid of completely. It started 7 years ago when I suddenly felt itchy spots in my scalp and when I scratched them there were like soft and greasy scabs that came off just from touching them. And there was some sort of fluid coming out. Gross. They started stinging a whole lot. Especially when washing... Doctor said I got them most likely because my hair was greasy. Used medicinal selsun shampoo for a while but they never went away completely. They always come back but not as much. So that's why I wouldn't recommend not using shampoo at all. Having fungal infection in your scalp is 100 times worse than dandruff. There are lots of mild shampoos out there that won't damage your hair as much. Use baby shampoo if that worries you. Hair masks are really good too since they add a lot moisture back after using regular shampoo.

There should be a "love it"-button.

Nice, will listen soon.

Might be... My father is almost 70 and haven't had any hair loss. He has a beard too but wasn't able to grow any until he was in his mid-thirties.
