"No more getting the wrong meds and fucking dying". Yep, I hate it when that happens to me.

maths

Didn't read the article, just saw the word "maths", got scared and skipped here to voice my outrage.

Seriously though, I love maths, it's people that put me on edge. I'd do the same if I went on a sociology degree. So I didn't. I suck at painting, so I didn't do an art degree either.

Maybe the article should be reversed - about half of all people don't fear maths! That's higher than I'd have expected.

Class

Class: Rogue / Fighter / Cleric etc.

Maybe you're rated out of ten for how well you fit between each class?

Don't see many paladins around these days. Maybe the advertisers want to weed them out to target them with paladin specific adverts. Underarm deodorant for the holyman who wears full plate maybe?

Wait, what?

Did she just say she used to be a dude?

Well, yes!

Stimulant?

"Those of you who are no longer prepared to stump £2.75 for a pint, but don't fancy cocaine as an alternative stimulant"

Are you implying that alcohol is a stimulant? Much the opposite, it is a depressant.

Please, Wikipedia is *right there*, you might want to look at it some time.

Good grief. As if IE6/7 weren't making my life hard enough already. I don't have to worry about FF1 users not being able to view the sites I make, mostly because it's platform independent so users with an old OS can still have the latest version of the browser.

MS should make their browsers available to everyone, regardless of OS, and either force everyone to upgrade their browser or make their damn browsers all render websites the same. Getting IE 6&7 to run on the same machine was hard enough, but now I'll have to have two machines to cope with IE 8 as well. If IE8 really is 'scrambling' most websites then well done Microsoft, you've "broken the internet".

It was bad enough when IE7 hit, now this? It really burns my lasagne.

Stop!

Only read a couple of these, I found them unreadable without pictures.

Not being a fan-boi and not being old enough to be able to form words when the first mac was released, I have no idea what you're talking about without photos.

Nonsense

Is this not nonsense? If I started shaking my 360 around while it was powered up and spinning a disk, something would likely get damaged. I'd expect that. And I wouldn't blame MS. I don't need a warning label to tell me that.

If I ingested my 360, it would likely cause a lot of damage to my xbox and myself. I didn't see a warning label stating that, it is in fact a guess. I don't need a warning label to tell me that, nor would it be MS's fault for providing me with the xbox.

MS should replace the disks as a goodwill gesture and issue letters to people who request a disk swap telling them not to be so stupid in future. In those words.

re. CoolPix the best - You must be joking

Well, it's a camera review from El Reg. What did you expect?

WFT?

"Laptops don't work without Windows installed"

@ AC

"i recall hearing or reading something in or from the good two ply t p aka the bible that money is evil or root of all evil"

Read it again then. It's the *love* of money, not money itself. If they're rich, they're OK with their book so long as they don't love the money.

Misquoting does annoy me so.

Good grief, this is old.

Or, as The Onion would phrase it, "Area man finds funny website on the internet; forwards to friends."

Link?

Link to the offending hackery please.

Enquiring minds need to know!

"the first atomic force microscope ever used outside Earth"

That's what you think, human.

Heinie?

Heinie? What the hell is a heinie?

I'll assume you mean "arse".

Youtube

They also have their own youtube channel. This, as far as I can tell, is designed to encourage people to listen to their music for free on the internet. With added video, which is more than I get when I buy a CD.

I'm confused with these mixed messages.

Oh dear.

I don't suppose for a moment that CERN is using their webserver to control the LHC.

Just... oh dear. The Telegraph dropped the ball there.

I welcome this.

I, for one, welcome this.

Force all MPs to use a segway as their primary mode of transportation. THEN they will see just how crap cycle lanes really are. Around here, some cycle lanes are less than 2 meters long.

Maybe then we'll see some improvements to cycle lanes that stretch beyond previous token gestures.

/leans forward to speed this up.

I'm not sure where to start.

Mr. Sorkin, I have a question; "You're crazy."

How can one think it is a good idea to make a movie about something you know nothing? There are words for that sort of behaviour.

'Astounded'

You know, the word 'astounded' is thrown around a lot these days.

Once in a good long while, however, a site enters the internets that is truly astonishing. El Reg, you've made my day.

PH angle - too obvious?

Outside Security

If the smoking lounge is outside of the secure area, that means one will not require a ticket to access said lounge?

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
