Lugging around a computer system in a case?

That's very 80's.

Nowt wrong with a gaming laptop / tablet for gaming on the go when a handheld / smartphone isn't enough

joshimitsu
Meh

It grunted its last

Perfect for a commuter with a garage

6 hours charge time, or buy the fast charger packs to speed it up to 1.8 hours.

My CG125 costs about £5 a week on petrol, this should be about £0.20 a week on electricity.

with that kind of ping response

No chance of hosting a Crysis tournament.

Terminator

first to mention

both the robo lifter in Aliens and Cyberdyne System in Terminator 2.

Dear AC 11:58

Nice try, but you still need to sit down and "listen" to a spelling "lesson".

You only get off the hook if you dictated your post using Siri.

joshimitsu

maybe for strategy games

I doubt there's much creativity required to complete an on-the-rails FPS.

Something like Monkey Island thought, requires such out of the box thinking I just thought "wtf" on reading the strategy guide lol

joshimitsu

if he really wants to fight crime

don't they have a volunteer police / community patrol scheme there?

might as well be really smart about it

and restrict the voucher to new laptops and desktops only

Big use of helium

Aren't we running out of the stuff?

privacy settings

gotta check em more often than your wall.

yes I was imagining a 22k gold tub with diamond set facets and a special version of the Top Gear V8 blender to power the whirlpool

joshimitsu

Sounds about right

I get more spam from Pakistan than anywhere else. Even when I opt out, they opt me back in.

Go

Would be great if it could double up as a game controller for the PS3.

joshimitsu

End it on a high

The last series did have some great moments (my favourite was Moss giving evidence in court)

joshimitsu

dressed down?

i.e. no hammerpants

joshimitsu

I too overcomplified how I saw it -

and assumed he had no teeth and had blended his pizza into a superthick soup

joshimitsu

Decisions?

There's only 3-4 FreeSat HD recorders on the market, and Humax haven't released a new once since 2009

invest 10 minutes sticking it all in a spreadsheet

it's easier to compare the TCO across 2 years comparing the different tariffs, contract lengths and companies.

I'm getting o2 simplicity because I get a discount on o2 broadband which is nearly as good as Be.

It's not easy trying to survive cancer

respect to him for fighting on and staying on at work - I would have retired on the first medical leave.

Anyone seen the film "Pirates of Silicon Valley"? It was a funny look at the early days of Microsoft and Apple.

joshimitsu
Stop

it'll probably crash when you try to download Battlefield 3 off it.

Endless Loop

Like keeping a games PC up to date.

Childcatcher

so if if is covered in adjustable temperature panels...

they would be called hexels?

Or...

Heat Emission Repressive/Productive Evasion System.

"work experience win!"

lol, too right. Good highlight to stick on her CV if she's headed for a scientific career.

Reverse Equality

So they'll just bump up the female driver's premiums to match the men, plus another 10% for good measure.

Still relies on tricking the user...

... into plugging in a new mouse that had been received without asking for one ...

... although it is a very sly trick and likely to fool many.

joshimitsu
Meh

meh bleh

Maybe the Excel spreadsheet will be the data entry / reporting tool, with the real data being held on a proper system.

Did somebody say secure...

and database in the same sentence???!!!

Grenade

So rather than waste the missile

let it get destroyed?

joshimitsu
WTF?

delicate sensibilities?

For a nation that brings us game shows where people get humiliated, and some seriously freaky "adult entertainment".

LOL

@AC 11:48

I was a Groupon skeptic, until I tried it out. It's true, most of the deals are for spas and restaurants, but sometimes stuff comes up that you never would have considered.

That was part of the appeal, it gets you into trying stuff out.

I'm off to book my skydiving lesson!

Big flappy overcoat needed in case the chute fails...

Welcome

mind blowingly expensive meeting

In order to avoid being tied to market rate fluctuations and the withdrawal/introduction of currencies, the cost of this meeting must be measured in "number of biscuits consumed".

Thanks to Jeremy Clarkson for laying the foundations of such an important measurement unit.

So they ran into difficulties with the airport authorities

And now need the minor sum of (£750) "SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS UK STERLING" to make bail..

Works on the HTC Hero.

Only stutters abit on the bigger levels.

Thumb Down

@ 0laf

I tried watching that - it was so dumbed down it gave me a headache and I ended up watching Familiy Guy instead.

joshimitsu
WTF?

They must have been REALLY high end models

Like a Macbook Pro perhaps, or a Dell Precision.

But people that stupid don't need such powerful hardware since they'll mostly use it for Facebook,

battery backup

So the key storage circuits can be wired with a battery backup that's good for about a day, and the user needs to remember to disconnect the battery if the device is sold or moved.

joshimitsu

too much overheads?

Why does VOIP over these devices need so much bandwidth when 64kbps should be enough to carry speech?

joshimitsu

not just an Android problem

It's been going on for years with Windows phones - Samsung released updates for the i900 but they were locked to certain carriers, and you could only get updated once your provider added their own colours to it.

joshimitsu

i wanna make up a silly name too

Hmmm - how about CrackPad?

And if you buy an optional coloured case for it - a redPad...

It's my phone

Sounds like a marketing tagline.

Anyway, I got a phone with another OS because you can't just plug the iphone into any other PC and use it as a USB storage device, so it's a pain copying your photos off it. My old phone had a whole bunch of photos I couldn't sync to my PC because I'd rebuilt the PC at some point. And the Windows Camera Wizard method doesn't work. And I have gave up at that point

I want to know...

Will it blend?

Time for a slew of new emoticons:

A Playmobil one, and a LiLo one?

And Pennsylvania, among other places

Maybe he was working from home as IT admin for a school?

we'd still have demand for oil

T-mobile 3G

yeah mobile web on t-mobile has been poor on my Samsung i900, i do regularly get a 3G signal in London but it's still slow, and have only ever seen the HSDPA icon light up like, 3 times

Gordon...

that's ok, there's already loads of World Cup apps on the iPhoneys

true say

One does get rather bored of the millions of HTC Android / WiMoPho variants coming out every month.

the post

How about the people who can't make it to the polls on time coulda used the postal vote, or changed their polling station to a place near work and borrow a couple hours off?
