Yup I have.
Having been through Marine Corps Boot Camp, I can tell you that Full Metal jacket's boot camp scene was pretty close to reality. At least it was back in 1984.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

That's all I faarrrkkkking asked for.
Place I'm contracting took us out for dinner tonight.
Cous cous, yoghurt, glazed apricot, ricotta, tsngine and all sorts of other shite you wouldn"t feed a starving donkey was on everything.
So I call the waitress over and ask for a medium rare steak and chips, no other shite on the plate.
So I get it in a bowl, yoghurt on the meat sat on top of egg plant, shredded chicken penis and other stuff maggots wouldn't touch.
Can I please get tbe elephant back that was dipped in glass.
Luckily I could order all the beer I wanted. Unfortunately they all left about 3 hours in.
On the way home now, off the train in 10 then a short walk home to a fridge of beer.
Thank faarrrkkkk I got my dessert of wedges, though I got some poofter, probably vegan stuff when sweet chilli and sour cream was the go.

next time ask for the kids menu, unlike glorified salad with grey slop on an oversized plate chicken nuggets and chips will go down with beer (and won't spoil the taste either).

Greystaynes, drive through there regularly to se a client. Yoghurt is not a sauce, it is off milk and the Frenck eat snails and frogs, those f***ers can't talk to anyone about edible stuff.

I see a few new faces here this week, and I must say I'm terribly disappointed.

Look for the serial number in the lower eyelid.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

So we are talking replicants now? Not just clones, but hardcore assassin replicants. I had no idea.

If there is an original at all, it will be the one without a serial number.

I currently work on my laptop, I only have an extra mouse.
I've been thinking about buying a docking station, two extra monitors, and an external keyboard and (new) mouse (I think this is my first optical mouse after my last wheel mouse ).
My hardware knowledge is pretty lacking though.
It seems to me this docking station[^] should do just nicely.
It's Dell (just like my laptop), but it works with USB, so I guess it would work with other brands too (I've had vendor and even laptop specific docking stations at work).
Not sure what to look for in a monitor though.
I guess size and resolution are important, anything else?
This LG monitor[^] looks pretty good.
It has no borders, which is nice when you place two next to each other.
Any tips?
Thanks.

It looks like a nice monitor - I've got two older LG monitors and never had a problem with them (and an LG TV which is pretty much the same - occasionally you have to unplug it or it forgets all about sound).
I like the way I have mine set up: one portrait, one landscape. Landscape is great for VS, Portrait is great for reading articles, internet, and writing documents as you can see the whole page really nicely.

The pixel response time (the time that a single pixel takes to change from white to black) may be important to you. If you are a gamer, a fast response time (1 millisecond) may be important. For normal office work or video display, even monitors with a 5ms response time will be fine. If you do lots of graphical design, you will want to pay attention to the colour fidelity of the monitor (how accurately do the colours on the monitor represent the "real" colours). Lastly, a higher contrast can give you brighter images etc.
YMMV, and the only way to be certain that a monitor answers your needs is to look at an actual monitor.
(Edited for clarity)
Ad astra - both ways!

Good one, I'm not that kind of gamer who needs super fast response times (and I'm not much of a PC gamer at all anymore).
This monitor is advertised as a gaming monitor though (even with 5 ms response time).
250 cd/m2 doesn't seem to bright when compared to other monitors (300 or 350).
I'm also not sure on the 1920 x 1080 resolution on a 27" screen...
Also, a more practical issue, the height of the stand cannot be adjusted.
That can be a real PITA
Guess I'll shop around a bit further (although I may just settle for this one in the end)
