Marina bay Sands Casino

I'm back in Singapore for a week, and thought I would pay the Marina Bay Sands casino a visit. It left a very poor impression that's for sure. 1. Rude staff, impossible to get any service or drinks unless you walk to the tiny bar at the opposite end of the building. 2. Loads of slots (about 2400 !),...

True RNG's are expensive and relatively slow. PRNG's are fast and good enough for most applications. Take the Mersenne Twister for example, which is the PRNG of choice in several computing applications, with a period of 2^219937 − 1.

Most people aren't that likeable once you get past their repertoire of stale anecdotes and "moment of fame" tales. Give everyone a chance to shine, but don't be surprised that most people are about as interesting as a digestive biscuit.

On a Legal Tender, lower than 12 for a blank void.

The number reel had fallen from it's support and into the cabinet :-(

Private google map + points of interest = free. You can even have different machines as filterable points. This idea is looking to solve an organisational problem that doesn't exist for most players.

Right on his own doorstep too. As the saying goes, don't defecate in your own back yard.

Anyone who claims that the world is run by reptilian overlords deserves consideration of being a nut job. David Icke's own words hang him i'm afraid.

Yes you can make a voluntary payment or declare income that you want I be taxed.

I think plum probably got told not to fraternise with the enemy after astra's recent gaffes.

Being successful in business involves working damn hard - what you've described is how to stay in business whilst not being successful. It's an unsubstantiated viewpoint to say that most businesses rip people off somehow. Being an armchair socialist doesn't help to bring across your point either. Do...

Would that be the barley mow in chiswick ?

Someone had spilt a half of coke on the floor and it sent me arse over tit, the loose change arcing from my hand. I accused a pensioner of stealing my missing 50p when I counted up, as he had a wicked smirk on his face. Must have really been schadenfreude.

The cost of running a board is separate to the cost of purchasing. Purchase wise, $195 is not lots of money. Even if you go for the full whack of garbage at $469, that's still only £300. You can spend that on a night out. That number will be reduced further by ad revenue income. The influx of spam i...
