and

a JEDWARD icon to be used to signify the total pointlessness

@ the First Dave

looks like it's reading lessons that you need mate, he said monopole not dipole

A unicorn horn points forward

You've seen one then ?

Design

Apple and good design used in the same sentence .... have you forgotten Antennagate already ?

Sherlock

"Legionella bacteria .... has not been determined as the source of the respiratory outbreak."

So, what else can it do ?

Remember

Gaddafi used ant-aircraft guns fired horizontally into a crowd who were doing nothing more than shout slogans and wave placards and flags.

Then calmly said that they were all on hallucinatory drugs, as if that somehow made it all ok.

Well fuck him off.

Why did the chicken commit suicide

To get to the other side

outsourced

says it all

when will they ever learn

Third world

It hasn't been "third world" for, oh, over 40 years, except in the media.

It's actually "majority world" and "minority world".

Guess which one we are in.

It's a temple

My body has a "evaporative cooling" system, I call it "sweating"

So is a Brazilian iPad

just like a regular iPad except for a small, erm, touchpad near the, erm, bottom

One I'd like to see is

Rendezvous with Rama

Big blob

He must have something large to need such a big blob of pixellation to hide it.

You don't say

Part of the internet is a bit iffy.

Whatever will they find next.

Tinfoil

At last a practical use

Looks more like

a middle finger

Why bother

Just wait 6 months and buy iSteve 2 instead

Jury took an hour

Presumably it took them 59 minutes to stop laughing

Old

My geology teacher told me about shale gas in 1964

"revoke any legislation that has not been sucessfully prosecuted in the past ten years."

The idea of laws is that they PREVENT people from doing Bad Things.

Therefore a successful law will NEVER be prosecuted.

Fail.

heroes

I have two science heroes

Yuri Gagarin - he really did venture into the unknown with the great possibility of death

Enrico Fermi - similar as he stood next to the first ever atomic chain reaction, anything could have happened

Very nice statue - what a contrast to that other statue in the news this week

Fashion

Fashion always makes fools of its followers

My client

Mr. A. Kookaburra would like it drawn to your attention that pursuant to ,,,,etc,,,,,etc,,,,,,

Re: What about the stupendous amounts of snow and ice the previous winter?

Their figures were for 7 months

Failure points

1. Only UK stations

2. Only 'major' stations

3. Only 15 presets (what!!)

4. Sound quality is piss poor

5. No 'record to disk' facility

Of course you can record it by recording 'what you hear' on your soundcard but it would be better to have it inbuilt.

Cheap

That seems very cheap compared with the cost of the database in the first place

Craters

It's just a load of craters.

Presumably 23 of them are full of some sort of moondust.

How about

they run the original Avatar at 60 fps

That way we won't have to sit there for so bloody long

Erm

I've actually never heard of Lindsay Lohan.

This is probably a Good Thing.

Ok back to the RPGLE

Brecht cant wait for

the 3d opera

The Apple Store

I'd like to see them try.

If I set up a store selling apples (fruit) and called it The Apple Store, Apple Computers would have to show that a normal reasonable person would mistake a piece of fruit for a computer.

Ceci n'est pas une pipe.

5 digits !!

I've figured out (groan) why a 500 day counter has 5 digits.

It doesn't go to zero, it goes to a display of "TODAY"

kettle

The company who tried to sue podium.com because is contained "pod" being attacked by the company who sued "lindows"

Farce

Can't wait

until these things go head-to-head with the Russkie version

Copyright

How will they be able to tell if

- I downloaded it legally from a pay-for service

- It is a freely given track by the artist

- It is my own work and I own copyright

Oh wait, Sony BMG says it's illegal therefore off it comes, sonny, and that's one strike.

Tested

Just tested this out.

Uploaded an mp3 file* to my Amazon cloud.

Then copied the link and pasted it into browser.

Yes you can play it directly with Winamp, and therefore anything else probably.

The big drawback is that you have to sign in to your Amazon account to listen to it or download it.

So It's slightly less use than a 4Gb memory stick, and less instantly available too, and definitely less portable across devices, which is, erm, where Amazon came in.

* I own the copyright

For U.S. Customers Only

It appears that you are attempting to use Amazon Cloud Player from outside the U.S. This service is intended for U.S. customers only.

600 watt Amp

Let's turn that thing up to 11

Ok as long as

They remove all the apps slanted the "other way".

That would be "even handed"

hahaha

who fucking cares

I used to love it when

GW Bush pronounced "nuclear" as "new-killer"

Good to see

Good to see the Tories looking after their business chums, while the poor saps that actually bought a card go without

File format

How can a file format be "proprietary" ?

It's a sodding file format.

Google

Come on GOOGLEBAY let's have it

Pop music

If you think this is rubbish, you have lost track of what pop music is all about

Please no

"It's a UNIX system! I know this!"

no no no

Hahahaha

All those corporates will have to register to prevent e.g.

microsoft.xxx

google.xxx

ebay.xxx

The thing is, if they don't have pron on those sites, they should be kicked off the .xxx

Can't wait for .wtf

5 digits

Why, in all that's sane, do they have a CUSTOM-MADE clock for a 500 day count, that has 5 DIGITS for the day number.

WTF ^googol

Ther's got to be

... a lightbulb joke here
