The totally off-topic thread

Was there a black-out in Brisbane this afternoon? Still looks very dark around Toowong right now. I am leaving work soon and I hope the trains are not affected.

After my last visit to BNE, I didn't realise that electriciy had found its way there yet :mrgreen:

(seriously though - isn't there a pay dispute up there?)

 

[JohnK]

I don't know about pay disputes. I got paid last Thursday so no issues here. Better go now as internet usage at work is monitored....

No. I finish work around 5:00-5:30pm and work is the only place I can use the internet without paying.

I can go to internet cafes and pay ~$6/hour or bring my laptop to Brisbane with me and either connect to the dial-up connection in the apartment or get connected to a wireless plan. Better off leaving the laptop at home and use the internet sparingly at work and hopefully no one will notice or say anything....

I can't stop watching and listening to this clip. I know most people would not understand it but it has a wonderful rhythm and melody....

What does "Antartes tou Pontou" mean?

 

[JohnK]

It means "Guerillas of (from) Pontos"....

Anyone know if it is possible to download videos from YouTube?

If you use Firefox as a browser, you can use the add-in called "DownloadHelper" which will allow you to download in the FLV format. This can be converted to other formats (wmv, mpg) but the size grows enormously. There are quite a few FLV players around or you can use the free Irfanview. For this you need to also download the plug-ins file which contains players for most formats.

For offline players, I prefer GOMPlayer - available from GOMplayer.com - it plays FLVs as well as all your normal media files (AVI, MPG, VOB, MP3, WMF, MP4 etc) and is completely free. I use it in preference to M$'s Media Player that is built in.

Is this really OT (off topic) or OT (on topic) :?:

It's OT (off topic) and therefore it's OT (on topic) for this thread?
OK i'm confusing myself...

To answer that question, you need to analyze about 10% of the first 50% of the posts in thread.

I do not advise such a thing; mainly for one's sanity.

Or is that 50% of the first 10% of the posts in the thread. ... or something like that :?:

Maybe 5% of the whole; I was trying to give an rough guide to where these relevant posts were; certianly out of nearly 1,500 posts 5% give one 75% or so to filter from the other 1400+. :shock:
