    Interesting search engine/knowledge database, especially for tech stuff.

    Just heard about this one, not sure if I'm massively behind the times or not. Also worth checking out Mathematica from the same guys. www.wolframalpha.com Someone wanted topographical data on a certain area here recently, plus all those physics questions...

    Recommend some Anime

    My last forays didn't go too well. Full Metal Panic! was a bit predictable with vast amounts of dialogue, and Blood - The Last Vampire was critically acclaimed as some sort of acheivement but was 40 minutes of amateur rubbish. Past hits for me... Neon Genesis Evangelion Ninja Scroll Akira...

    Home remedies or hot tips for growing skin back?

    Well, I'm packing a lot less skin than usual, and want to make the healing process as quick as possible, especially from the hard scab stage to scab removal. A lot of the flesh is covered by 'Hypafix' applied in hospital, apparently lifts off once a scab forms, allows fluids to come out and...

    I just organised a chat.

    It's going to be a blind chat. Just spoke to both of them tonight, and organised it with the second one. What's something you've done that was a bit.....different? I'd class the builder of the milk crate men as a bit different. Hope to hear some interesting things.

    Friend wants a road bike, he's looking at a Merida...

    And all the Merida's I've seen were overpriced and underspecced. They looked nice with good finish, and appealed to those who had more money than idea - that's the 2 people I've seen buy them, not an all sweeping statement. I don't know if that's representative of all Meridas, but certainly...

    The Travel Thread - tips, reviews, warnings - a resource.

    Just got back, and thought it might be handy to have a few hot tips for those getting about the globe. I don't want to hear any stories, just short quick bits of info that will help each other out. People will need to search this thread (if it goes anywhere) so be clear in how you word...

    Project Car / Motorbike thread. Let's see 'em.

    Well I got me a project bike. Let's see what everyone is building at the moment. Got mine on Tuesday. Growing up, I wanted a Kawasaki ZX7R. They were fucking badarse, and looked cool with their big ram air intakes and 6pot callipers. Well, I've got the next best thing, a 93 ZXR750 (was a...

    Expose, provoke thought - Authority, Government, Media - The machine.

    This is a thread for short concise posts, to put things in perspective, provoke thought, and expose whatever you want about government, authority, politics, law, the mass media.... Mainly the machine, the hypocrisy, how things really are opposed to how people are made to think they are. The...

    MacBook purchase advice - MacNerds ahoy.

    Greetings Chaps. I've made the rather rash decision to not even consider a Windows based laptop, fuck you Bill. Won't be doing anything flash. No video editing, no games, just word processing, email, porn, and watch a DVD now and then. 1. What are these prices like? 2. Is the 2nd option...

    Trading Area Classifications/Tags.

    Edit: Yes I have seen the other thread/s on this, but this is a different suggestion. I am not proposing new forums or sub-forums, merely a tag in the thread title. As I wade through pages of classifieds, reading every heading in depth to see if what I want is possibly in there, and also not...

    I need to go from Zero to 40km Triathlon leg in 6 weeks. Help.

    Well, this'll get me training. Threw my hat in the ring for the bike leg of the Mooloolaba Triathlon. 40km ride leg, which will be a real sprint I'm guessing. Couple of hills but route is mainly flat apparently. I'm at 0 fitness, 0km, did one 45min ride yesterday. I can pull the time no...

    Bearing / BB kit cost difference

    I've just got hold of an 07 Eastern Jane, and the BB bearings are stuffed. There must be something I'm missing in the whole replacement issue. Spanish BB, 20mm apparently.... BB bearings are cheap as chips - http://www.danscomp.com/455201.php?cat=PARTS Yet a BB kit is $70 for what seems...

    Postage costs - reference page/list

    With the amount of sales going on through the site, a number involve postage, the cost of which we often don't really know till we launch it at the post office. It would be pretty easy to set up a thread, where the first post could contain the information a seller/buyer might want, and be...

    Delete.

    Swapped, delete. I've just bought a BMX, and it has a KHE Geisha Street freecoaster rear hub, which I don't want to run. I'm a simple man, and would like a normal povo rear hub. Everyone tells me they are awesome, but I'm old and don't like new things. Now, it is for sale, but.... I...

    Internet connection behaving strangely.

    This one has me a bit confused. On a couple of websites, pages are taking ages to load, and I mean AGES, on a cable connection. It seems to mainly be a forums issue, and only certain forums. Farkin is perfect. On the other 2 forums it mainly happens on, try to open a thread and the banner...

    Small variations in wheel size, have they ever been explored?

    I was thinking about this recently. Over the last few years, MotoGP has gone from a 17" rear tyre, to 16.5", and now they are trialling 16". Such small changes in diameter have had a positive effect when combined with suitable tyre etc development. Has 20.5, 21" etc ever been explored in...
