Dammit....
My money was on Blind Faith...
Posted in RIM Vodafone BlackBerry Storm
Urgh!
The boss got one of these to replace his iPhone. I didn't think there was a worse mobile than an iPhone. I was wrong. RIM has taken everything that's crap in an iPhone and made it crappier! Congratulations.
Damn right.
>The battlestar IS the series.
Precisely- The best sequences in the current run was were you get to see Galactica pour megatons of ordinance into a Cylon Basestar.

Are the price of stupidity...
I contacted them regarding purchasing Guitar Hero World Tour (full) works to be told that they do not sell to the Republic of Ireland, which is news to me seeing that I pass one of their shops daily here in Dublin.

Looks familiar...
Reminds me of the Death Flowers from Ulysses 31. If I put one of those in the house it will be guaranteed to give the eldest daughter nightmares.
Translation:
"What does "On the gridiron, that'd be Oklahoma Panhandle State versus the Crimson Tide." mean, please?"
"In a game of Girl Rugby, that'd be a Fourth Division team versus a Premier League team (named after a euphemism for menstruation)."
Ah censorship...
"an Insurance company was rather surprised to find that after implementation of its in-house filtering system, direct mail campaigns to Essex, Sussex and Middlesex ceased entirely – as did communication with the inhabitants of Scunthorpe."
and not to mention the poor inhabitants of Fuckwich and Anusbury.
A bit convenient...
So your a company looking to downsize your workforce but you want to do it in a that does not require large redundancy payments?
Answer: Develop an extremely intolerant moral high ground and go through your employees email. Bound to find some sackable offences there...

"That's funny. I know of another device that can't support much beyond web browsing and checking e-mail, but is backed by the full faith and credit of Steve Jobs's divinity."
It's a MacBook, isn't it.
Posted in India draws up own Google Earth plan
"It is expected to be tied into an ongoing Indian project to develop its own GPS system."
It's a pity that IRNSS is not directly GNSS compatible

Meanwhile, in HA...
"Hello, my name is Andrew and I'm a hacker..."
The solution...
Scupper every pirate vessel (there's a dhow (Davy) Jones sinking joke in there somewhere).
I've never had any problems...
but then it takes a Lancastrian to do the job properly anyway.

I think I know how this one goes...
it turns out that the girl of his dreams is a ladyboy, who gives him a love virus of his very own.

Anyone know what Disney's pollution index is?

not only a win for Obama...

Sheesh...
An undetectable master boot virus- pull the other one.
I smell bullshit.
Corporal Jones...
"Can you imagine Clive Dunn handing over his password to some thug under "threat of violence"? He'd have been shouting for Mr.Mainwaring and the rest of the Home Guard to come and sort these chaps right out."
No he wouldn't. He'd be sticking it up 'em- because "they don't like it up 'em"

But, but, but...
Isn't Web 2.0 all about monetizing eyeballs???
Isn't this already being done...

Posted in Hands on with Sony's slimline Vaio TT
Meh!
It's a Sony and it's a Vaio. I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole thanks to Sony's extremely crap after sales service.

Why not GNSS???
I can understand the patrotic reasons behind using GLONASS in this situation but they could have just gone GNSS which would have included GPS and therefore a) Provided a better fix all times of the day and b) Provided a backup when one of the constellations gets switched off...
Posted in Hubble in double trouble
It could be Pauly Shore
Because ""If it rhymes, I can cause trouble in it"
@David Wiernicki
Yep- it's called GNSS. Russia has had the GLONASS system up nearly as long as the American GPS. China launched a minimum complement of BEIDOU in time for the Olympics- this system will be extended and will be known as COMPASS. India is quite far into the IRNSS project and even Europe has managed to get a couple of Galileo sats into orbit.
It's been going on for years...
I had a Psion Series 5a stolen from my luggage while travelling from Newark to Vancouver. I was told to put it into my hold luggage because it presented a danger to the flight (it had an InfraRed port which would allow me to take over the flying of the aircraft apparently). When trying to claim for the unit I was bounced between airports, baggage handling companies and various insurance agencies- I eventually gave up 6 months later.

>However, it *is* true that America came to her aid when it wasn't obliged to.
I think you find that rather than rendering aid voluntarily, America was cockpunched into WWII by the Japanese
Posted in Indian Moon mission is go for 22 October
Hmmmmmm...
'Of course, as the BBC notes, the project has taken flak for being "over ambitious" and a "waste of resources" for a nation where "millions still lack basic services".'
The same can be said for the USA...
Won't be the first...
...and won't be the last the abuse the whole "stick the flavour of the day buzzword on our products"- I remember when Java was this way and then XML (I'm looking at you, Bentley Microstation)

You don't even have to read between the lines to see that the MAC fundmentals all hailed from PARC.
No backlog...

Question:
Isn't SlimVirgin an invert of FatSlag???
Funny
I see the world "PEST" displayed rather prominently below Ballmer
