Tight is good but you don't want too tight or you'll end up with a cut where the top of your foot meets your ankle.
Those look like a sturdy pair. They should treat you well. Rinse them off with fresh water after they come out of the salt - it'll help to prolong their life

Glad to hear you enjoyed your first flight and you were safe in your travels!
Don't cheap out if you do buy a pair of swim fins. The cheaper ones 1) don't work as well and 2) hurt your feet if you wear them for more than 30 minutes.
Swimming fast / free-diving is almost as exhilarating as the feeling of accelerating in a plane. It's a wonderful freedom!

My favorite male Videogame character has to be Link but he's so overdone. If you were going to draw someone original, I would say take an artistic take on his Fire tunic and mirror shield from Ocarina of Time. As far as females go, Samus Aran Hands down.
Welcome to TWHL and I like your work so far in MC!

Depends on the security. For us americans, we need to remove our belts and shoes before walking through a metal detector or resonance scanner.
Heres what i do: Wear flip flops if the climate permits. Wear comfy clothes. Eat a light meal and drink water but not alcohol or coffee. (you dont want a hangover or need to pee) Put all your crap in your bag while in line.. Prepare BEFORE you need to. Bring an ipod or a good magazine. Buy a water after security so you can carry it on yhe plane because they tend to be dry. Bring a sweatshirt and if you dont need it you then have a pillow.
Planes are great

yeah. if you're getting a new processor i'd spend another $30 on a GOOD heatsink. The ones that come with the processors work well but if you're going to OC it you will probably be safer with a beefier sink. Also, Arctic Silver is your friend.
I have 16Gb ram and its PLENTY.
Other than that, another great way to speed up your PC is to get a small (120Gb) SSD and install Windows and all your favorite programs on it. Keep your HD for storage. You can change the locations of MyDocuments and MyMusic and all those default folders to a separate drive.

You could always use more RAM IMHO. So long as you have a 64bit install you can have up to 32Gb of ram. If you still have a 32bit install then your RAM maxxes out at around 3.6Gb - so its WORTHLESS to have more than 4Gb.
If you do the math on the processor speed increase its a bit more than a 15% boost. It's all up to you though.

What do you mean you don't hold up real well IRL? I'm going on business so i can't get rip-roaring-stupid on alcohol. I'm just thinking a night at a pub talking face-to-face with a fellow TWHLer.
Missed an opportunity once, i want to see if i can grasp at another one.

Rim, I'm just seeing this now, but i can just say that i admire your courage. Lyssa, I admire your strength for what you've been through thus far.
I'd like to think of TWHL of my family, and after reading all the posts and responses here, you have my 100% support. It's an amazing thing to do for the woman you love.

either keep a spiral notebook somewhere or have a google doc i can't really help much with your organizational skills because mine are lacking as well but you need to free your brain!

pen and paper my friend. write your ideas down to free your brain. If you come back to them later and you're still excited for them, you know its a good idea.

Well i suppose i can't say anything if i haven't tried it. I didn't grow up eating fish and i can't stand the saltwater taste that most fish has (in my opinion). So I've been experimenting and trying new fish but just straight up marinated fish like that... doesn't look too pleasing.
Where can i pick up a package of that? My local food store?

Talk to your professor. Most of them actually care. So make sure they know who you are and that you're trying. They'll help you out and usually toss you the few extra points if you're short of a certain grade.
Math is awful but you need to take good notes, and you need to do your homework. Find someone you can study with, go onto youtube, try midnighttutor.com
I failed Calc 1 twice until i pulled my head out of my ass and learned some good study habits. After that i got a B- in Calc 2 and then i pulled an A- in differential equations (the hardest class i have ever taken EVER)
This is how i take notes: Follow along with the teacher when they are doing problems on the board. I put the initial equation on the top left of a sheet and then i draw arrows showing each step vertically below that. On the right, i will write down the steps i took and my thought process (or the teacher's) Use a different color pen or a highlighter to circle stuff, draw arrows, whatever!!! You need to listen to the professor and teach yourself how to do the problems.
Also
Most of us here have gone to uni. If you're having trouble post something in the forums, i'm sure some of us will take a stab at it. Chin up and keep trying!

Yeah i was quite disappointed to not meet Disco Stu in person
We actually tried to schedule a handful of meeting times throughout the day but ultimately, it was a long series of unfortunate events that led to us missing eachother.
Poo.
If i hit the american lotto, one of the things i want to do is rent out a hotel lobby and fly a few of you guys out to USA for a meet and greet. Set up some computers, Live music, etc etc

Alt+Right-Clicking allows you to set the control axis perpendicular to whatever face you want. Instead of being constrained to X Y or Z, you now have the freedom to set it to any combination of the three.
I'll have to make a sculpting tutorial soon lol. I'm having a LOT of fun with that tool as well.

Be wary of side-load apps unless they're from a reputable source.
Amazon should be safe however.
""The only nasty thing is that it doesn't charge by USB, only with the power adapter.""
That's probably because it requires at least 1000mA (1Amp) to charge. Most USB ports don't put out more than 550mA.

Last night at a wedding i had Pecan-Crusted Chilean Seabass
Amazing

something might blow up
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it but It is very much unfinished; there IS no point.
Also were you featured in the video?
Also i hope you get funded because i want my mount!
