Worlds Tallest Building: Burj Khalifa

Submitted by Hashy on Tue, 05/01/2010 - 12:47

m0rnin’

And now we have, this behemoth. =)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Burj_Dubai-Dubai3214.JPG

The Burj Khalifa, formerly known as the Burj Dubai, stands at 828metres (2,717feet), and has taken 6 years to complete.
160 habitable floors, 334,000 m2 of floor space for various uses including Accomodation/Hotels, Restaurants, Observation, and 55 floors for Mechanical, and also 3 floors for Communications & Broadcasting too.

So what I want to know is, with all those floors for “mechanical” usage, when does the thing transform and get up to move?

I’m guessing in 30 odd years when the base is underwater xD

AVATAR THE GAME

Submitted by president_kippa123 on Sun, 03/01/2010 - 12:49

hey guys just posting what i think of the avatar game
ok here we go ps im not good at these
alright in single player you get to run around in the body of an avatar and that of a human until u hit a point in the game where u choose a side at that stage u become either of the 2
single player mode is set like an rpg so nomad u will probbly like it
at first it takes a bit to get used to but once u get the hang of it its a really good game
the multiplayer games are set up like capture the flag death matches hold off and defend much like quake wars
i really like it and would recommend it

Steam Sale - new IPX games?

Submitted by Fuzz on Sat, 02/01/2010 - 16:43

I’ve been umming and erring over which games to get off Steams sale. I picked up one I really wanted (NBA 2K10) and damn I love it, but when it came to multiplayer team games there were a few. But generally they weren’t worth it unless several others were getting them too… so I thought it might be worth posting something to see if anyone else was interested in getting any cheap games. Here’s some of the deals available – all sales til the 3rd unless otherwise specified:

  • Frontlines Fuels of War : $7.49

    Blood did a great review of this a while ago and if it was a little cheaper then I’d have been in. I’m definitely up for this if a few people want it, but more importantly if people would still play it.
  • HAWX – $14.99 –

2010 - International Year of Biodiversity, Communcations, and for the Reapproachment of Cultures

Submitted by Hashy on Fri, 01/01/2010 - 13:44

m0rnin

You heard it here first. And now you ask the same question I did.

Keh?

2009 Was more “widely” known as the International Year of Astronomy. Ive got the hundred + dollars of mint coins to prove it. But as it is so, there are also usually a few other “observances” each year too. 2009 was also;
the International Year of Reconciliation,
the International Year of Fibres,
the International Year of The Shark,
and the Year of the Gorilla.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_observance

I think this team, given the type of communications platform we use, are doing pretty well when it comes to working with the International Year of Communications. I think if we can find ways to improve what we have at all, that would be nice.

Another year, another decade. Share your stories here (or somebody elses).

Here’s just a reminder of what we missed:

Things I missed, or, avoided :

Also, the trend patterns for Jeans are a joke. Just wear whatever the fuck you want, and eventually it will cycle back into fashionable. Jerks.

Share here all! =)

Shads, late, Xmas Message

Submitted by Sha8doW on Tue, 29/12/2009 - 14:29

WOW, what an xmas i have had!

Xmas eve; After finishing wrapping and the last minute stuff i decided to relax and have a browse… i saw GTA IV for sale at 75% off. (like 12 bucks aus) so i jumped on and treated myself to a Xmas Gift.
15 gigs… its gunna be a while

my mistake

Xmas day; So i got some windows updates and stuff on Xmas night, and after leaving the computer on DLing a heap for the previous few days decided to turn it all off and give the machine, modem etc a rest for Xmas. (GTA

again My Mistake

I turn the machine back on…. no interwebs….. WTF?
i checked the phone… no dial tone…. WTF?

The misses rang Telstra and it turned out that half my suburb was down

“oh its a major issue.. dont know when it will be fixed, but someone is working on it” – Now given the public holidays, i doubt it WAS an issue more that they didnt wanna pay a tech to come out and reset whatever dealie it was!
