I think it's fairly meh but obviously a lot of people seem to think otherwise.

It's about time, given their resources. It's an achievement, although purely symbolic. They'll no doubt turn it into a great move for the "war on terrorism"

im so shit in late stages!!!!

It's all about shoving at the right time, PM me you passwprd if you want me to take over

Al-Qaeda terrorists have threatened to unleash a "nuclear hellstorm" on the West if their leader and world's most wanted terrorist Osama bin Laden is nabbed.

A senior al-Qaeda commander has claimed that the terror group has stashed away a nuclear bomb in Europe which will be detonated if bin Laden is ever caught or assassinated, according to new top secret files made public by internet whistleblower WikiLeaks.

Potential fun times ahead.

We we we we so excited.

in da money

[Lord Sir Banter]

Obama's odds for next U.S president dropping just now, they were 1.61, just moved to 1.53.
Don't have any cash in betfair to move onto it. That said, have no idea if it will really make a big impact considering the election is 18 months away, that said, maybe it will, american voters are a funny bunch.

sounds like a another good reason to default

i'm just waiting to see what kind of spin Trump can put on it!

[KK82]

This Sky News reporter just keeps repeating how he doesn't know what's happened. Great television altogether.

Fair play to the US.. Well under 10 years to catch him.

Can't believe Torres scored first.

[davepoke/her]

Who's this Bin Laden chap?

[Mellor]

the news will be more interesting on where he was killed.. this pakistan angle could turn interesting..

BINGO!!!
Pakis be screwed now

[Lord Sir Banter]

Who's this Bin Laden chap?

Lives in Greystones.

[Zosma]

10 years, 2 wars, 919,967 deaths, and $1,188,263,000,000 later, they managed to kill one person.

[davepoke/her]

Sounds dodgy.

[Charlie Sheen]

BINGO!!!
Pakis be screwed now

Missed Obama's speech, did he say something about Pakistan?

[KK82]

Missed Obama's speech, did he say something about Pakistan?

He said they're a grand bunch of lads

[Mellor]

They had intelligence that he was in a compound in pakistan, they sent a team to compound, firefight, OBL killed

[Zuroph]

BINGO!!!
Pakis be screwed now

cnn already playing up the "how great is it that Pakistan let the us troops in to do this.." etc etc...

they're putting a pro pakistan spin on things from white house by the looks of things, talk of pakistani intelligence being on the ground with us troops etc. wonder how it will stick with the public, people are going to be asking how he was there so long in what looks like a reasonably built up area...

[Lord Sir Banter]

[Zuroph]

google maps for abbotabad looks fairly decent, we should be able to see the compound on it..

[Lord Sir Banter]

wtf is a compound anyway.

Game of Thrones:

SPOILER

Some of the acting was a little patchy in this one. Littlefinger might look the part but I'm not sure if he's up to it. It might be just the creepy angle he's going for, but neither his voice or his face are particularly expressive.

But! Syrio Forel. OMFG. That was beyond perfect. And the smile on Arya's face made the whole thing come together. What a find that girl Maisie is. Ditto for the boy playing Bran. I really felt it when he said he'd rather be dead the second time. Excellent stuff. The guy playing Viserys is brilliant too. It was so nice to see him get pwned. Great episode altogether, really. It was kind of nice to have one in which nothing horrendously bad happened. Those will be few and far between.

Bump, if you have a cheque made out for you how do you swap it over to somebody else?

if it is made out to you sign the back of it, and then it can be lodged into anyones account. But if the cheques is crossed (2 lines across the front of it) then it can only be lodged/cashed by the person it is made out to...

The answer to the maths is that it depends on what compiler you are using. If you get 1 as an answer your compiler is retarded and you should move to a proper one.

Kind of funny for the first few minutes, then not.

Had to send a copy of my passport again to those bastards at Moneybookers because it's been locked for months. My scanned copy came in at 2.7meg and they only accept uploads of 1meg max. What's the easiest way to reduce the size without losing any quality?

Do with it what you want, I've lumped since that's what I was told to do. There's been money for it too and the market isn't up long.

Wrote something (less smart) along these lines last night after hotspur stuck up the answer but was too tired to know if it made any sense

A lot of those who got it wrong() have probably/possibly had their heads fried by a few years of programming logic (for loops and such) when it comes to reading equations????

Open it in photoshop or similar and resize it to something like 2k pixels on the long side.
