I'm not a Macfan...

But it looks like McIntosh got one over on the Windows systems.

Why always that image?

Please reg, stop using that same shopped image of the girl on the beach, please show the average user of an Eeeeeeeeeeeee PC:

Middle-aged, balding, overweight womaniser.

Stop your doubting!

Of course the Americans hit the target, it was US made probably with US flags painted on it.

As we've seen in the past the US military have no problem taking out US/Nato/UN troops, it's another matter when their target has an 'enemy' nation's insignia on it.

Mine's the one made out of an Iranian flag.

You already reported this

You already reported the story in January, the only difference this time is that someone from an online cowboy agency has rinsed and repeated what you already said!

See "Phishing coders hook clueless crooks".

This poses a huge threat to me and my business

Reg, where can I find software to protect me from this huge threat to my company's security?

What's that you say, McAffe make some software to fit the bill?

McAffe please put any number you like on this cheque and I will sign it!

All this proves...

... Is that in Japan, most people are buying PS3 consoles.

In the worldwide market the winner of the HD war will be the one with the best price.

Sony PS3 or standalone Blu-Ray player ($500-$800)

Standalone HD-DVD player (as little as $99)

BT need a kick up the arse

They have been growing fat from the profits of their infrastructure for far too long without investing anything in modernising it. The 21CN kit that BT are rolling out is a pile of crap, after they converted my telephone exchange to the new kit my broadband speed halved.

I used to get a steady 8000kbps connection and approx 790k/sec download speed, BT decided that they "may" get a 24000kbps service from the exchange, so installed the new kit, for the first 10 days afterwards my internet was fixed at between 300 and 1200kbps with download speeds struggling at about 50k/sec average.

BT then decided to "fix" the internet problem, increasing the speed to 3500kbps and about 280k/sec average download.

Me and the neighbours decided to write a complaint to BT about the speed issue after the exchange upgrade, their response: "You are too far from the exchange, you should not be able to get more than 1000kbps connection speed".

*spits at BT* I can't wait to move to France, at least I will get a decent fiber infrastructure and connections up to 100,000kbps

Desperate Dan would be proud

Of all that "Cow-pie" they are serving at pipex by blaming high server load with mysterious failures straight out of the X-files.

Not to mention that it is slow and hot

AMD are really digging their own grave as of late. The new X4 processors are slower, more expensive and run a hell of a lot hotter than their Intel equivalents. Not to mention that the new "top of the range" HD3800 series of cards get outperformed by mid-range NVidia offerings.

AMD are still struggling with their 55nm technology and getting everything to run properly, Intel are already producing 45nm chips.

I'm sorry AMD, but I am going Intel and NVidia on my next system after nearly a decade of being a loyal AMD customer.

Re: About time.

Absolutely right!

No joking but 90% of the adverts I see for "Junior [language here] Programmer" require 3-5 years experience.

Then I see positions for "Senior [language here] Programmer" requiring 3-5 years experience. And even positions like "[language here] project manager" requiring 3+ years experience.

It's bloody rediculous that someone can get a job as a senior programmer with 3 years experience, but might not have enough experience to get a job as a junior programmer!

Did I miss something?

How is someone supposed to get the experience if all the first-step roles require the same level of experience as a senior position?
