I love to dance, horse riding and jogging. I like watching movies too but that isn't really a hobby.

I actually use a number of different ones. Although at the moment I tend to use Chrome on my desktop computer and Opera on my laptop. I do keep Firefox as a secondary browser on both, though. I've never even heard of Netscape Navigator before...

The whole question of this is though whether these numbers are actually that large. Length of hair is something that can be empirically measured by masses of people you need know nothing about to come to a determination of whether women have longer hair than men. The issue is in instances...

Slowly killing themselves? Yeah, very damn slowly, in fact it barely counterbalances the increase in life expectancy of the last 20 years. Also, tens of years is making it sound a lot more than it really is. Hell, 10 years is generally the shortened span one would expect of a morbidly obese...

Do you not wear underwear when wearing a kilt? I always have. Not only is the "true scotsman" thing a bit of a myth, it's impractical and totally yuck. Those things can be expensive or time consuming to get cleaned properly (massive heavy thing made of wool with plaits that may need to be redone...

That's easy to say coming from an emotionally healthy person. If you got fired and were working in a skyscraper, why wouldn't you just decide to hurl yourself out a window. Don't kid yourself here, it isn't because you're noble or thinking about the people around you. It isn't because you are...

I very much agree. People who say it's a victimless crime should probably have a talk to the millions of people who get injured or killed (or their families, whatever) every year. The two biggest causes of accidents, directly and indirectly, are speeding and frustration. Hell, frustration is...

It's funny you post this here when you bring up in another thread how you feel as though you were being discriminated in the work place because of the large female majority and you felt excluded from the "work's culture" because of this. Funny how when it affects YOU it becomes a legitimate...

I hardly think that's a fair assessment. Sure, some students have it easy but many don't. My summer jobs prove much less stressful than anything I do in term time, mostly because when I'm off work I'm actually off. The courses I've done during term time don't give me that luxury. When I haven't...

He did though, he basically said that the sensible solution is to reduce the amount of CO2 we're pumping into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, that's not the answer politicans want to hear.

Hardly. You do realise that these people are scientists, right? The issue of how to solve these sorts of issues is not even primarily a scientific one, it's down to governments, businesses and legislature. What the hell do most scientists know about any of this? It's amazing how plenty of people...

The last two points I'm with you on. The issue with climate change, and why people don't feel as though it is a thing, is that it is difficult to physically see. Something not easily observed is much harder to convince people to do anything about. Moreover, while I'm all for renewable energy...

That may be the case from the artists' perspective in SOME cases, but the fact is the real reason these projects are green-lit in the first place is an easy cash-grab. Sure, the guys working on AMS1&2 may have cared about taking their project in a different direction, but don't try to pretend...

I'm nearly done with my Masters in Renewable Energy and will be very happy when I finish. This summer project has possibly been the most challenging experience of my life and has definitely made me decide that I don't want to go any further into academia (all this pressure to be the first to...

I use Facebook and Linkedin fairly frequently. Facebook is great for groups like our course or societies where we have somewhere to discuss work or organise events. Linkedin is becoming more important for me and I've been working on making my profile the best it can be. Have you tried...
