Hm. Interesting. I got this doing it without break or anything (note that I'm practically half blind as I have a 90 something % cataract on my right eye and something "unidentified" refracting in my left).

Interestingly, there are mistakes definitely separable in all 4 regions

Also I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean:

(especially the "highest" score saying 1485 while only 99 on the right of the scale 😲 )

I love FFD, Bezier Curved Edges, FreeScale etc etc. Beaucoup Fun!

There is no IQ test for Criminals. We have Nimrods who write demand letters on the backs of their own business cards, checks or phone in bomb threats on their Caller ID phones!

What is really interesting is that if you total up the average haul from a bank job and divide that by the number of hours that person spends in prison for the crime, he ends up making about 35 cents and hour. I think I read that somewhere. Morons.

Oh yes, very real. It's at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, no less. The original story can be found here.

Tower Bridge is very well done; I guessed it was CG only because The Tower of London isn’t floodlit in the background.

To me, it was the repeating texture of the bridge foundation where it meets the water that immediately stood out.

Me, it was the fact that a lot of the beams from the lights were completely out-of place, and very similar, and the bridge even seemed out of place from the background.

the notes after the end:

The characters and incidents portrayed and the names in this movie are fictitious, and any similarity to the name, character or history of any person or company is entirely coincidental and unintentional and please do not sue us for we are nothing more than starving artists with no money.

This film is a work of pure fiction and has no correspondence to historical facts or the buddhist religion.

I'm so embarrassed... I seem to have a hand for making threads go completely off-topic! 😳

I can personally verify the attached as I took the photo of a menu outside a restaurant in Kobe a few months ago. I quite admired their logic, they obviously realised they were unable to translate it correctly, so if in doubt why be specific? 😆

Japanese bar names are a treasure trove of absolutely bizarre English- pretty much every single building entrance in any Japanese downtown area is plastered with dozens of signs for a plethora of tiny bars hidden away on upper floors. Almost without exception the bars have English names even though non-Japanese are often unwelcome and as even a small city has probably tens of thousands of these miniscule drinking dens they have to be very imaginative to come up with anything original.... very imaginative indeed.

Definitely cool (however it's been here already)

thank you sooo much. The last time someone referred to me as rank . .it wasn't a good thing 💚

Check the website of the software maker, and look for local dealers.

A change in perspective makes all the difference. Imagine they were chickens instead of cats... would you have the same reaction? Probably still negative, but maybe not as much.

As I said, I don't have any issues with what particular meat people eat, it's not even on my radar. But that level of cruelty is unnecessary. Even if I ate meat I would still hold this view. And yes I do extend that opinion to chickens. The images on that website cannot be compared to even the worse cases of farming.

Hi Eugenio,

You are in luck! I actually visited my local Apple Centre today (http://www.compub.ie) and had a look at the new 17" MacBook Pro. I then got them to download Google SketchUp and I tried out the trackpad for a few minutes. I had no trouble getting the zoom function to work by spreading / closing two fingers on the trackpad. I did not have time to go into the trackpad setup in order to make the orbit to function in the trackpad but I imagine it should be possible.

I was looking for the 'button' on the trackpad then realised that I had to press the actual trackpad! Its a nice piece of kit 👍
