All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.
Just found this on another forum I frequent... Thought it was quite fitting :
Q: How many forum members does it takes to change a light bulb?
1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed
14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs
1 to move it to the Lighting section
2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid
3 standards zealots to point out that light bulbs have been deprecated in the LB 2.1 spec
1 to call upon everybody to ignore this deprecation
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct
19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?" 13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs" 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.
LEDs are bad for you eyes! The Blue LEDs do not meet ANSI/IESNA RP-27.1-05: Recommended Practice for Photobiological Safety for Lamp and Lamp Systems. For reference, read

EDIT: How do you make url buttons work? *hint* *hint* ( I had to use the code tags to avoid the url thing)

Not meaning to off-topic, but I felt that this topic was related to my topic. So has anyone had experience with underglow (under-glow? or under glow?)? I've been thinking about putting it under my car. What kind of light bulbs (lightbulbs) do I put there?
The difference between (I assume) a Twen wanting to be "cool" and a father of two not wanting people to confuse public streets with race tracks or show-off circuits.
On a more serious note, in most cases a car that has something of a status object (pimped, or expensive, or both) goes along with a certain driving style making me wish for ground-ground arnament in my car so I could blow them off the street before they hurt anybody.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.
I couldn't agree more - though I think it's not so much a driving style as an attitude to the road rules.
If you can throw neon on your car and not feel compelled (when it's installed/on) to turn the streets into a racetrack, though, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to.

I'm so glad somebody else feels the same way! The only mod I would ever make to my car is a sub-machine gun.
