    I was thinking about watching lost, while it was on there were a lot of people saying how good it was, now I only hear how many loose ends they left and that the finale left something to be desired.

    ..

    Me and my wife watch Lie to Me, White Collar, Leverage, Pysch, House, Bones , Doctor Who on our DVR when we have time.

    Wife watches Weeds, I don't care for it but she enjoys it.

    Occasionally watch some anime when the mood strikes me.

    Lost spoiler:

    Yup, they went with the 'cheap' ending, so that they wouldn't have to explain everything..

    :huh:

    Psych and Leverage are pretty good too :D

    Rfid Passports

    Posted · Edited by xtr3m3

    I just saw this article on bbc news about how the UK passport has evolved over time, and was wondering what you guys think of these new rfid passports?

    My knowledge with these is kinda sketchy, but are the chips safe? Can they really be cracked and if so, how can you destroy them? (I've heard microwaving them can cause the passport to catch fire.. :lol:)

    Do you really find those barriers just because you happen to be a Muslim? That would surprise me, because unless your *really* fanatical about your religion (I worked with a guy doing website support a long time back who refused to support sites which featured sexual content, i.e. a online sex toy shop) I couldn't see it causing a problem.

    As a matter of fact, yes. I have been declined jobs, while my friends of different cultural backgrounds (who happened to be studying the same as me at the time) managed to breeze through.

    You should know that there's a difference between a 'fanatical muslim' and a muslim. Don't believe everything you read in the papers or watch on youtube. I do see the point of view of the guy who refused to work on an online sex toy shop, but I don't want to get into a religious debate and go offtopic. :)

    What Do You Do?

    A few years ago I completed a four year course (BTEC National + HND. Probably equivalent to around half a degree) in aerospace engineering. I picked this course after leaving school as I wanted to be an airline pilot. However, as this was an engineering course, it opened my eyes and I basically started to think like an engineer. I also found that I would most definitely need to pick a different career, as 9/11 destroyed my chance of ever getting a sponsorship from a UK airline company, due to myself being Muslim and probably having brown skin.

    After this course I took a year out to help with my family business, which is a simple newspaper shop. I then went to uni and got into the second year (due to my HND) of an aerospace technology/avionics course, and everything went downhill from there. Due to my year out I had a tough time remembering anything from college. I repeated the year doing part time (only studying the modules I failed) and ended up failing a few again, as the financial crisis disaster was at its peak at this time. (No job + student finance were simply being idiots).

    For the past year I've been back at home, working in the newspaper shop. The funny thing is I still have a qualification, but no experience + a student loan to pay. Square one. :mellow:

    I use Twitter to keep up with any aerospace related stuff, i.e. Nasa.

    I also use it for Islamic updates on any new Islamophobic crap around the net.

    Yes, I'm a Muslim and I'm involved in the aero industry.. Life is tough <_<
