Felt Engadget was a more techworthy review for the discerning poster than the Guardian which could possibly have been simply impressed with the phones shinyness.
Surprised there hasn't been much of a buzz about it at all. Though I suppose it's main feature is the budget price tag. A bit strange that the battery isn't removable too.

Literally couldnt organise a pissup in a brewery
People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

This would never have happened to Roundtower2
X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.
Because X doesn’t roll like that, because X can’t be pinned down!

Is there some special twitter for Phd's? Only tweet I see from you in the last hour is on SSRN and a link to a Lucey bit.

Yeah, that's the one - had mentioned another website in that tweet r-e-p-e-c (changed slightly as the man seems to have amazing google fu) which is the main place that economists place their research online
Can't link to it but its the most woeful website you could imagine in terms of usability. Guy seemed to react like had made fun of his kids for being a bit slow.
Storm=cup obv, but its just the ridic speed of transmission from initial tweet thats a sign of the brave new world we live in
Is the 'Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis' a big deal? Looks something like site from 10 years ago
I think your posts over the last 12 months highlight how hard you’ve worked. So you completely deserve the reward.
But you’ll need to prob drive the car for more than 2 hours before people believe your recommendation – report back in a few months, I’ll need a new card next year

You'd wonder why anyone stays in those places. Like, personally could have stayed in Ennis and would presumably be going around shivving people for entertainment value. What's the mindset that makes someone not want to try out the big city?
I find hard to phrase it but usually people who havent gone to third level or from lower economic background.
Never really seen anything different and are happy enough in a low paid job or on the dole.
Once they have enough for a piss up a week and the odd week in Santa Ponsa they are happy.
Dont know if its a lack of ambition or just happy and an unwillingless to gamble and try and better themselves.
Mates bro in law hes 26 know since he was 7 or 8 works 30 hours a week in tesco and said all his mates off to oz or canada.
Asked him why he does not go can always come back if dont work out 10 12 weeks save every penny he would get there no ambition at all.
The only guys i meet at home from school either have a business local a farm or stuck with a mortgage and kids and cant leave.
Free site.....I can build a house that would be mansion for the same price as some tiny little dwelling in Dublin. Im sure the view will be a lot better.
None of my 5 or so closest friends who live around are slaving 30 hours at Tesco. I honestly cant name any of a wider circle of 10-15 who are even unemployed.
The local town is relatively packed each weekend. We are 45 minutes from 4 Irish cities should we fancy a change at the weekend.
Im not against the idea of big cities and loved my time in Toronto and would go back but I will be very happy to settle at home when the time comes.
Such rubbish, and people will believe it, which is kind of annoying. Sports 'journalism' might be the second nut low after that celebrity shite.
As a sports lover, it's so difficult to follow any news with so much absolute twaddle being written and spread about. People just making shit up all the time.

Of course you can build a mansion with 10 rooms down the country.
Its fine if you have employment close bye.
Celtic tiger era stuff huge gaff middle of nowhere and spend your life commuting to work.
I have friends who live rurally and its grand but i find having to use the car to do everything.
Could possibly have a rural v urban debate.
Id want more thana free site personally to live n Ballinasloe.
Downloading a torrent and the result is a folder with a load of rar files, an mkv file and an sfv file
Is their an easy way to combine? Is just client just not finalizing the download to try get me to upgrade
this show just gets better every episode for me, why have I waited for so long. So well written with the side piece about capone protecting the fat defenceless fella like his son.
Looks like a war starting now, Mickey Doyle can't be alive for many more episodes shirley?
Pineapple and broccoli should never be in the same sentence. Can't help but resemble it to a really ignorant farmer being on holiday in an exotic country and struggling to communicate.
Whereas dismissing something without trying it is a sign of a first class mind
People problem with broccoli is that they usually boil it until its effectively squidgy tree shaped paste.
Now Cauliflower. Theres a vegetable that needs swift and uncompromising eradication.
This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

I'm guessing that the mkv was automatically extracted and you can delete the rest. Some torrents are just packaged that way.

Lets say I end up in the fund industry I am a 45 minute commute from 2 workplaces. Im pretty sure a lot of Dubs would have a commute close to that when you take walking from the Luas stop.
Use the car to do everything? I suppose but when I lived in Toronto I found doing the weekly shop torture without a car. Il agree if you want 5 quiet pints on a week
night living in the city is a lot easier.
I don't think it is as bad as some of ye make out.

The thought of living down the country before the age of 40 is repellent to me - I've just about (at the age of 37) come around to starting to consider that 'downsizing' to Galway city, where I did most of my growing up, could be a possibility for us in a few years. Don't see how it would be possible for me to happily live anywhere smaller than Galway; Dublin feels too 'small town' half of the time! Would definitely rather live in a two-bed apartment in a city than a mansion in the middle of the country, just wouldn't be able to cope with the lack of buzz down there.

Not saying its bad as such just having a big house is not everyones idea of happieness.
I see my sisters kids and to do anything they need to be driven they have a huge gaff but its close to a treachorous road from football training to visiting friends need a lift.
As a kid in a town 7000people had access by foot or bicycle to friends football swimming etc was never hindered by isolation.
Ill agree rural life has advantages too but any of my friends who were brought up in a town and built a mansion on the big free site with 5 6 bedrooms and only 2 kids to fill them wish the house was not so big and a bit closer to civilisation- urban area.
Got around to watching the heartbreakingly good season finale of Boardwalk Empire last night. Excellent tv altogether.
I hope the timeline jumps a few years for next season, maybe to '27 or '28.
Hopefully they keep an interest in Florida too, and introduce

The guardian are normally fairly measured in their reporting, and I'd be surprised if there was no foundation to this.

Ive been looking forward to next season under the incorrect assumption that most of that stuff happened in 1925, so was hoping to see it soon.
They may skip a few months (6 or so), cos that's what they've done each season almost, but I dont see them skipping years. Not with the inevitable rise of capone to dramatise.
That's what I most want to see, cos in most movies capone is already a kingpin and usually close to being taken down (untouchables etc), The most interesting aspect of BWE is knowing what the characters will become and seeing how they tell the story.
Did anybody else get to see Glen Hansard in Vicar Street last night?
Pretty amazing gig, he got Paddy Casey and Bronagh Gallagher up for songs. The encore must have been at least 10 songs.
Gutted to have missed it with instead attending as extremely dull and uninteresting lecture. We really enjoyed his gig during the summer in the Iveagh Gardens. He certainly delivers value for money but a lot of people seem to be very negative/cynical towards him and his outlook on life. Meh you can't please everyone and you're a fool if you try.....

I'm guessing that the mkv was automatically extracted and you can delete the rest. Some torrents are just packaged that way.
I think the mkv was a lot smaller than the video file should have been.

I read that I could extract the first rar file and it would look after the rest.
But there was no extract option when I right click.
I only have the windows built in extractor, do I need a dedicated one like WinRAR?

Actually, that's a good shout. It would be good to see how Eli and Van Alden are involved too.

Interestingly, AC is probably the most peaceful place now. There are wars in Chicago, NY and Florida.
I changed what i think may be the spoiler you're talking about
I'm only just starting Season 2 so I'm skipping past the posts but you've almost read it before you realise it when there are no spoilers in it. Wasn't directed at you in particular, just in general.

No bother. Kind of wish i had three seasons of it to watch fresh. Enjoy

Yeah just get winrar, I dont think the default windows yoke works with winrar but dont have windows to check.
