            <title>Signatures I nuked on the 26th November</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/857873</link>
            <description>This thread is to apologise for the few signatures i nuked on Wednesday, 26th November, for height regulations. Usually measure with a ruler, but yesterday my sister changed my screen resolution without telling me (max height instead of 6.5cm became 7.5cm) , and so some of the siggies that i thought was overheight may not have been so. This is on the Wednesday 26th November 2008, i think about 3 signatures. My apologies</description>

            <title>SAR, contamination when not using?</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/854044</link>
            <description>I&amp;#39;ve google much and coudn&amp;#39;t really find an answer, I know what is SAR, what i wanna know is the SAR most prominent or strongest when in a call? or is it a constant value. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;eg: sleeping with the phone under the pillow, SAR contamination? or only if i&amp;#39;m in a call? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;is it a constant emission, or perhaps low emission, and only spikes when a call is made?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;finally, is it okay to use wired headphones to make a call, or must be bluetooth? I&amp;#39;ve read in one site (which is actually advertising its SAR protection kits kononnya, so dun entirely trust it) that a wired headset acts as an antenna and makes it go straight to your head which is worse. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone can enlighten me on this?</description>

            <title>How important is first class second class honours?</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/836120</link>
            <description>As said above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know first class and second class honours are definitely head hunted by firms, but to work in the Big For for example, is it possible to get there without honours?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there any Certified Charted Accountants especially who can attest to this?</description>

            <title>Baronic&amp;#39;s Guide To Purchasing a PDA</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/832752</link>
            <description>&lt;span style='color:blue'&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Baronic&amp;#39;s GUIDE TO PURCHASING A PDA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) &lt;span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'&gt;Original or &amp;quot;ap&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;FIRST there is no such thing as AP for PDAS. AP = approved permit. These overseas PDA are imported, and considered illegal since if u call HTC, SIS is the distributer here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'&gt;WARRANTY COMPARISON:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; look at the warranty. If you are careful, u&amp;#39;ll see that the warranty for &amp;quot;ap&amp;quot; or overseas set PDAs is &amp;quot;free services&amp;quot;. Which means u wont be charged for services, but what about spare parts, lets say 4 months down the road? A defective LCD screen would cost around 300-500 and YOU will be forking that out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A warranty case for me with SIS Malaysia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 month plus after using Diamond, i send my device to flash rom. They scratched the paint accidentally (minor). I asked to replace the part. They did it without question. They replace that part, then i realised they forgot to put the speaker in. wtf. So i tell them forget it. i want a NEW Diamond. They gave me. Realised the button was loose and G Accelerometer was defective, i asked for ANOTHER new replacement. They gimme again. Would a small fry &amp;quot;ap&amp;quot; company do this for u?. If the paint scratch they probably blame u.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lots of ap companies will try to attract u with 15 months &amp;quot;warranty&amp;quot; and freebies, but like i said, be aware of warranty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;b&gt;PURCHASING OPERATOR DEVICES&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PDAs, with T-Mobile, Virgin, or other mobile branding are imported from overseas, and are deemed ILLEGAL. SIS Malaysia will NOT repair them even if you pay them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;SECOND HAND devices&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) for newbies who arent sure they can get familiar with a windows mobile device, a second device is good, since the resale value little change if u wanna sell a few days after buying. But if u plan to definitely stick, original brand new better because of the warranty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;span style='color:green'&gt;WHAT TO CHECK (CRITICAL)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. If its second hand, ask him NOT to hard-reset/factory-reset. Test the GPS if its working. The state must be a question mark or tick, and u must see several circles representing sattelites when looking at the globe of Earth, under GPS setting of the GPS program (Mapking, Garmin)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Check test a music file, play full blast, keep an eye out for CRACKLING of the speakers. May be problematic later&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Check test bluetooth, send a file, or connect to handsfree to see if working&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Check test mini USB port (or any other port for non HTC devices). Especially charger ports. See if the device charges normally&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. I&amp;#39;d be careful of non full box sets. POSSIBILITY: STOLEN GOODS. Unless got some sorta proof or purchase or u trust this person, be careful&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Look at device LCD screen under the light at various angles. Check for dead pixels. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Check camera lense, test the camera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Check battery, if its original or third party battery&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Check basic call functions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'&gt;&lt;span style='color:green'&gt;IF second hand still under warranty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. If seller claims still under warranty, check for receipt, if dun have, check for the warranty card for a stamp and a date of purchase. if got receipt dun need this however.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Open the back battery cover, check the screws all there, and look for the VOID sticker. Without this sticker, any warranty will be useless, cuz means the device has been opened by non SIS people. Of course if warranty is void, then this is no big deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thats all i can think of for now. Any other Critical checks inputs are welcome</description>

            <title>Election for liaison for Mobile Computing forum</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/830521</link>
            <description>I received a PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;Hi,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I din&amp;#39;t want to start another thread for this, but I wonder if you could do what you&amp;#39;re doing for the Iphone subforum ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really like your posts in the PDA forum , but I believe Mobile Computing deserves a Mod on its own. Take a look at the pinned topics for instant, some are already outdated and irrevelevant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We want a dedicated moderator for the Mobile Computing forum as well. It&amp;#39;s not saying you&amp;#39;re doing a bad job, but closing topics and redirecting people gives a sense that you&amp;#39;re out of touch with the memebrs on that board. Nothing gets answered and people find their well meaning threads closed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;ve brought your plight to admin and staff. meanwhile i&amp;#39;m doing what i can for your section. I&amp;#39;ve got no say in the election of mods, as its up to the admin and staff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my project:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, i suggest u elect someone, a representative, to work directly with me. they may not be a mod by name, but i&amp;#39;ll be taking their input directly via PM and Msn, so its the next best thing. It&amp;#39;ll probably maybe be faster than a report as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And off the record, IMHO, i think having a liaison would be a good first step to having your own dedicated mod. If it works out well, it would certainly give my recommendations for promotion for this person, more solidity. I don&amp;#39;t know you guys well, so, i&amp;#39;ll let u do the nominations yourself. I&amp;#39;m looking for someone who&amp;#39;s knowledgeable, lurks in LYN a lot like me, and general good attitude. Self nominations are welcome as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nominations:&lt;br /&gt; Astria (seconded)&lt;br /&gt;gigabyte_PHD&lt;br /&gt;Corad (seconded)&lt;br /&gt;KeV&lt;br /&gt;Cheesenium&lt;br /&gt;ShinAsuka (seconded)</description>

            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/830051</link>
            <description>There was a guy in a bar one night that got really drunk... I mean really really really DRUNK. When the bar closed he got up to go home, and as he stumbled out of the door, he saw a nun walking on the sidewalk. Soooo he stumbled over to the nun and punched her in the face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, the nun was really surprised...but before she could do or say anything he punched her again. This time she fell down and he stumbled over to her and kicked her in the butt, then he picked her up and threw her into a wall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By this time the nun was pretty weak and couldn&amp;#39;t move very much. So then he stumbled over to her, put his face right next to hers and said......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('1310dfa3e29bbe3a0bbcc1f9cb315053')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;1310dfa3e29bbe3a0bbcc1f9cb315053&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;&amp;quot;Not very strong tonight, ARE YOU BATMAN?&amp;#33;&amp;quot;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;</description>

            <title>Suggestion: Should quoted posts...</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/819067</link>
            <description>For people who quote, and accidentally quote huge posts or posts with insane amount of pictures, should the quotes be spoilered? Then if u dun wanna spoiler, &lt;b&gt;manually&lt;/b&gt; remove the spoiler. cuz often the quoter quotes a big post, and only actually types a sentence or two. just my 2 cents</description>

In fact, if I&amp;#39;m lying, you can have &amp;#036;50, but if it&amp;#39;s true, you owe me &amp;#036;50&amp;#33;&amp;quot; So, the second man says,&amp;quot;OK&amp;#33; I&amp;#39;ll go for that bet&amp;#33;&amp;quot; They walk outside to the balcony and the first one says,&amp;quot;I&amp;#39;ll even jump off first so you can see how right I am&amp;#33;&amp;quot; Then he jumps off, and then he flies back up&amp;#33; The second man goes,&amp;quot;Whoa, so it IS true...

Then Paddy says sorry about that, I&amp;#39;ve just dragged him to number 3 oak st&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Little girl finds her dog dead with its legs in the air and asks her dad why its like that. Dad says its died and is like that so Jesus can pick it up and take it to heaven. Next day she says&amp;quot;dad, mum nearly died today. She was on her back with her legs in the air shouting oh Jesus, i&amp;#39;m coming i&amp;#39;m coming and if the milkman hadn&amp;#39;t been holding her down we&amp;#39;d have lost her&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 men takin an intelligence test were asked&amp;#33;... A man &amp;amp; woman are in bed nude, the woman with her back to the man &amp;amp; he lying facing her back. What&amp;#39;s the man&amp;#39;s name?... The 1st a Canadian said, &amp;quot; there IS no answer&amp;quot; the 2nd a Scot said &amp;quot; there&amp;#39;s no way to know from given clue&amp;quot; the 3rd a Paddy says &amp;quot;1 have it down to 2 possibles: &amp;quot;Willie Turner or Willie Nailer&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical malfunction disabled all of the aircraft&amp;#39;s electronic navigation and communications equipment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the helicopter&amp;#39;s position. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it, circled, and held up a handwritten sign that said &amp;quot;WHERE AM I?&amp;quot; in large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window. Their sign said &amp;quot;YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely. After they were on the ground, the copilot asked the pilot how he had done it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I knew it had to be the Microsoft Building, because they gave me a technically correct but completely useless answer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SPOILERED FOR BEING BLOODY LONG, but a good joke if u care to read&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('dc80cbc7d98abbfb4b3329861166cb6b')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;dc80cbc7d98abbfb4b3329861166cb6b&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;Britain is Repossessing the U.S.A.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Message from John Cleese&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To the citizens of the United States of America:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In light of your failure to nominate competent candidates for President&lt;br /&gt;of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the&lt;br /&gt;revocation of your independence, effective immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties&lt;br /&gt;over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas , which&lt;br /&gt;she does not fancy).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your new prime minister, Gordon Brown, will appoint a governor for&lt;br /&gt;America w ithout the need for further elections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congress and the Senate will be disbanded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of&lt;br /&gt;you noticed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following&lt;br /&gt;rules are introduced with immediate effect:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should look up &amp;#39;revocation&amp;#39; in the Oxford English Dictionary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Then look up aluminium, and check the pronunciation guide. You will&lt;br /&gt;be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The letter &amp;#39;U&amp;#39; will be reinstated in words such as &amp;#39;favour&amp;#39; and&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#39;neighbour.&amp;#39; Likewise, you will learn to spell &amp;#39;doughnut&amp;#39; without&lt;br /&gt;skipping h alf the letters, and the suffix -ize will be replaced by the&lt;br /&gt;suffix -ise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable&lt;br /&gt;levels. (look up &amp;#39;vocabulary&amp;#39;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises&lt;br /&gt;such as &amp;#39;like&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;you know&amp;#39; is an unacceptable and inefficient form&lt;br /&gt;of communication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no such thing as US English. We will let Microsoft know on&lt;br /&gt;your behalf. The Microsoft spell- checker will be adjusted to take&lt;br /&gt;account of the reinstated letter &amp;#39;u&amp;#39; and the elimination of -ize. You&lt;br /&gt;will relearn your original national anthem, God Save The Queen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns,&lt;br /&gt;lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and&lt;br /&gt;therapists shows that you&amp;#39;re not adult enough to be independent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guns should only be handled by adults. If you&amp;#39;re not adult enough to&lt;br /&gt;sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then&lt;br /&gt;you&amp;#39;re not grown up enough to handle a gun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything&lt;br /&gt;more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required if&lt;br /&gt;you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and this ; is for&lt;br /&gt;your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what&lt;br /&gt;we mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will&lt;br /&gt;start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you&lt;br /&gt;will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of&lt;br /&gt;conversion tables.&lt;br /&gt;Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British&lt;br /&gt;sense of humour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been&lt;br /&gt;calling gasoline)-roughly &amp;#036;6/US gallon. Get used to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French&lt;br /&gt;fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato&lt;br /&gt;chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in&lt;br /&gt;animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually&lt;br /&gt;beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to&lt;br /&gt;as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be&lt;br /&gt;referred to as Lager.&lt;br /&gt;South African beer is also acceptable as they are pound for pound the&lt;br /&gt;greatest sporting Nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer.&lt;br /&gt;They are also part of British Commonwealth - see what it did for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as&lt;br /&gt;good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to&lt;br /&gt;play English characters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watching Andie McDowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a&lt;br /&gt;Funeral was an experience akin to having one&amp;#39;s ears removed with a&lt;br /&gt;cheese grater.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of&lt;br /&gt;proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in&lt;br /&gt;time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American&lt;br /&gt;football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds&lt;br /&gt;or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies). Don&amp;#39;t try&lt;br /&gt;Rugby - the South Africans and Kiwis will thrash you, like they&lt;br /&gt;regularly thrash us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to&lt;br /&gt;host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played&lt;br /&gt;outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware that there is a&lt;br /&gt;world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn&lt;br /&gt;cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the&lt;br /&gt;sting out of their deliveries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. You must tell us who killed JFK. It&amp;#39;s been driving us mad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty&amp;#39;s&lt;br /&gt;Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of&lt;br /&gt;all monies due (backdated to 1776).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 pm with proper cups, never&lt;br /&gt;mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; strawberries in&lt;br /&gt;season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God save the Queen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only He can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Cleese&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Universal truths&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Triangular sandwiches taste better than square ones.&lt;br /&gt;2) At the end of every party there is always a girl crying.&lt;br /&gt;3) One of the most awkward things that can happen in a pub is when your pint-to-toilet cycle gets synchronised with a complete stranger.&lt;br /&gt;4) You&amp;#39;ve never quite sure whether it&amp;#39;s ok to eat green crisps.&lt;br /&gt;5) Everyone who grew up in the 80&amp;#39;s has entered the digits 55378008 into a calculator.&lt;br /&gt;6) Reading when you&amp;#39;re drunk is horrible.&lt;br /&gt;7) Sharpening a pencil with a knife makes you feel really manly.&lt;br /&gt;8) You&amp;#39;re never quite sure whether it&amp;#39;s against the law or not to have a fire in your back garden.&lt;br /&gt;10) Nobody ever dares make cup-a-soup in a bowl.&lt;br /&gt;11) You never know where to look when eating a banana.&lt;br /&gt;12) Its impossible to describe the smell of a wet cat.&lt;br /&gt;13) Prodding a fire with a stick makes you feel manly.&lt;br /&gt;14) Rummaging in an overgrown garden will always turn up a bouncy ball.&lt;br /&gt;15) You always feel a bit scared when stroking horses.&lt;br /&gt;16) Everyone always remembers the day a dog ran into your school.&lt;br /&gt;17) The most embarrassing thing you can do as schoolchild is to call your teacher mum or dad.&lt;br /&gt;18) The smaller the monkey the more it looks like it would kill you at the&lt;br /&gt;first given opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;19) Some days you see lots of people on crutches.&lt;br /&gt;20) Every bloke has at some stage while taking a pee flushed half way through and then raced against the flush.&lt;br /&gt;21) Old women with mobile phones look wrong&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;22) Its impossible to look cool whilst picking up a Frisbee.&lt;br /&gt;23) Driving through a tunnel makes you feel excited.&lt;br /&gt;24) You never ever run out of salt.&lt;br /&gt;25) Old ladies can eat more than you think.&lt;br /&gt;26) You can&amp;#39;t respect a man who carries a dog.&lt;br /&gt;27) There&amp;#39;s no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when you&amp;#39;ve got your hand or head stuck in something.&lt;br /&gt;28) No one knows the origins of their metal coat hangers.&lt;br /&gt;29) Despite constant warning, you have never met anybody who has had their arm broken by a swan.&lt;br /&gt;30) The most painful household incident is wearing socks and stepping on an upturned plug.&lt;br /&gt;31) People who don&amp;#39;t drive slam car doors too hard&lt;br /&gt;32) You&amp;#39;ve turned into your dad the day you put aside a thin piece of wood&lt;br /&gt;specifically to stir paint with.&lt;br /&gt;33) Everyone had an uncle who tried to steal their nose.&lt;br /&gt;34) Bricks are horrible to carry.&lt;br /&gt;35) In every plate of chips there is a bad chip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a rip-off. I went into our local bookstore and saw this huge&lt;br /&gt;display with a sign saying &amp;quot;Newly translated from the original French:&lt;br /&gt;37 mating positions.&amp;quot; Noticing that the books were already wrapped in&lt;br /&gt;plain brown paper, I just hadda buy one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once safely at home I opened it, out of sight of my wife, and found&lt;br /&gt;that I had just purchased an expensive book about Chess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A guy is driving around and he sees a sign in front of a house: &amp;quot;Talking Dog For Sale.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He rings the bell, and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a Labrador retriever sitting there&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;You talk?&amp;quot; he asks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Yep,&amp;quot; the Lab replies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;So, what&amp;#39;s your story?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lab looks up and says, &amp;quot;Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young, and I wanted to help the government; so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time at all they had me jetting from country to country,&lt;br /&gt;sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running. &amp;quot;But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I&lt;br /&gt;wasn&amp;#39;t getting any younger so I wanted to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings&lt;br /&gt;and was awarded a batch of medals. I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I&amp;#39;m just retired.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Ten dollars.&amp;quot; The guy says,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Because he&amp;#39;s a liar. He didn&amp;#39;t do any of that shit.&amp;quot;</description>

            <title>SUGGESTION: Tracking the report u made</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/810288</link>
            <description>Is it possible for to have the ability to track the reports made? sorta like, has it been looked at, will the mods decide to take actions or not. this is important for the less moderated sections like the pda section, where we rely on users clicking the report button. we have some dirty posts that contain warez and some threads such as &amp;quot;recommend me a pda&amp;quot; which is cluttering up the section when there is a stickied recommendation thread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sometimes these posts and thread, despite being reported, are not edited/closed even after a while. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so could we at least track our reports so we know whats going on, and to re-report or directly complaint to someone, instead of just waiting to see if anything moves, since we dont have a dedicated moderator patrolling the section</description>
