OK, I've put all these questions in one thread so the mods don't brandish the padlocks, but...

1) I've heard the name Katia/Katja used for Russian women somewhere (Law & Order, I think), but which is the correct spelling?

2) Does anyone know where I can definitely find Get Backers books in North-East England (County Durham and Hartlepool to be a bit more precise).

3) This has bothered me for a couple of months now, but when I got banned from the Retro Remakes forum (fake admin account... I wasn't even online at the time it was created), I was told that that fake account was the nail in my coffin. Would that suggest to you that the fake account was what got me banned?

If you can't answer all, just answer what you know.

isn't like this....?

lets say 5!
would be 5*4*3*2*1?

13! = 13*12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1?

I think that's it.

'VS' threads are disallowed, no matter how reasonable they may start out, despite which, that one was heading downhill as soon as the term 'noob' was mentioned. I would expect most people would have realised this by now, especially so soon after the previous one was locked. In any case, I'll make it perfectly clear here:

All 'Product VS Product' threads will be locked on sight, no exceptions!

I haven't read that yet.

I've heard an awful lot about it, so I'll definitely have to sit down and read it sometime. Maybe on a Saturday, if I can find some time in the afternoon, I'll grab a cup of cocoa, bundle up next to the fireplace and give it a visual scrubbing.

Well we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.

Be warned, you'll need a solicitor present to translate all the legal mumbo-jumbo.

OK, now getting back on the f*****g topic (thanks for killing it, everyone, especially Osiris):

@ Brogo:

1) I asked which of the two spellings was right!
3) Damn. You'd think the morons running the site would know what an IP address was.

@ Travis:

2) Thanks. No offence, but is it safe?

OT: I've read the AUP, only so I can flame ppl for not reading the AUP

Back on topic...

2. Kelkoo might have something. I only suggest it because they can also tell you how safe the site is

I live in the UK so I would use that one too

I'm not exactly sure but I'm sure once you visit a site with it, it says something like "Is this site secure?" as a link in the header...I think

Thank you for wasting a good post. Now grow up.

Anyway, anyone got a better answer about the Russian name than Yes? If so what is it?

Nope.

Katia/Katja's supposed to be a feminine name. I just need to be sure which one's the right spelling because I working on a game where on the the characters is a Russian gangster.
