Oh it's windows, I don't know anything about that.
My answer to everything, Substitute OSX, Android, whatever. I then offer to install Linux instead - they usually run away.
This is exactly why I use Linux, and recommend it to everyone. Not that it's any better, but there are far more ways for it to be entertaining. I am still looking for the 'random' plugin for Grub, so that I can't predict which of the several versions of Linux on my disks it will load - once I find it I will install it on all my client's machines. No one wants computers to become as predictable as journalists, after all.
Hot Helium anyone
You can get much more lift from helium, and use less of it if you heat it up. No one ever seems to follow this idea up. BTW you can make helium in a fusion reaction, the only problem is the radioactivity....
Good ol' Google
I like free stuff. I'm quite happy if someone else pays for it. That our lords and masters are not clever enough to write tax laws that don't have legal loopholes is quite OK with me. All strength to your arm Google (and thanks for the free search, free docs, free email, free calendar, etc.,etc..)
Posted in Linux kernel dumps 386 chip support
386, what about the 4040?
Damned new fangled chippery. who needs 64 bits, 32 bit or even 8 bits. 4 bits was enough for Apollo and the LEM!
I was relying on that!
Damn, now I have to visit folk and do all that bonhomie stuff at xmas.
You can stuff Unity, Mark.
Title says it all. If you install 11.04 and change everything so it's like 10.10, then it's OK, but why bother? I'm used to Groan now, and I'll stick with it.
But the musak is driving me knutts
Together with this new 'feature', and I use therm with big double-scoop sarcasm, there is an annoying - can't be turned off - bug. The gmail page now plays honky-tonk musak if you use The Grone browser!
Isn't Imap wonderful
So I was worried? Was I inconvenienced? No and No.
Waste of resources
56kbps is enough for anybody.
Where is all this glass coming from anyway? Not off my beach, thank you.
0870 Rip off too
It's worth noteing that http://www.saynoto0870.com have some nice geographic non-rip off numbers for Parcelfarce too. Should you absolutely need to talk to them.
But it's only for Yanks!
At the moment only Yanks can get an I-Card. Perhaps they have more trouble with their identity than the rest of us.

Germany surrenders to Netherlands
Who cares if we have to redraw the map of Europe. As long as Microsoft doesn't get any of it.
