The wall is based on Roger Waters childhood, the story is in the lyrics, the film is simply an ilustration of the music and lyrics. The story line is the music.

This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.

The test features an unlikely, fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, and spontaneous.

Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.

-------------------------
THE SITUATION

You are in New Orleans, There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. You are a photo journalist working for a major newspaper and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster.

You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, and disappearing under the water.

===============================================
THE TEST

Suddenly you see a man in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's the President, George W. Bush. At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever. You have two options- you can save the life of the President, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most famous men.

===============================================
THE QUESTION

Here's the question, and please give an honest answer.......

Would you select high contrast colour film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

Color film. Black and White wouldn't show all the colors of the chaos around, and instead would just show a guy drowning.

Finland already has a very well developed broadband system. Finland also has one of the highest percentage of internet users in the world. I was surprised as well but if they can pull it off, it would be a great thing.

America does have some of the slowest and most expensive Internet of the developed world. Hell, the UK is rip off central, yet even we have better prices, speeds and availability :p

We just have too much land area, and everyone is used to **** speeds. For instance, I am perfectly content sitting on 4mbps right now. I shouldn't be. It is horrible, especially for a university.

Still, 100% coverage on something that is frivolous, at best. It will be interesting.

At University?!?!?

In Uni halls I was getting 9000kb/s download. Alex was happy

The highest you can get at home is 24mb/s, some cities have 50mb/s though. The EU has pumped a lot of money into building and upgrading the European Internet and network infrastructure.

Re: The "Random Thoughts" Thread

I was getting 7mbps at home.

To hell with you, I am stuck at 1MBPS. It's the University of Warwick for heavens sake, not Newcastle...

BUT, do to the IT/Computing department and voila, 85MBPS. ****ers.
