Dull, dull, dull... (Re: Oddly enough...)

Not the machine - it's fine enough, for a Dell.

I mean all the flaming from non-mac owners at 'Mac fanboys'.

The only reason that guy is running Vista on his Air? He's been conditioned by the Microsoft borg over so many years, he must now be fully assimilated... does he also run a betamax video recorder and can't get the hang of his 6lb portable carphone?

Running Bootcamp is like sullying a virgin: disproportionately desirable by some weirdos, a necessity of circumstance for others. Bootcamp is for people who like to appear shiny and expensive on the outside, while being inadequate/dirty on the inside.

VAT software re-engineering work ahoy!

And I thought the contract market might be a little dry next year.

Almost SFW and I'm surprised...

...at the restraint Mr. Dzubia has shown in this article re: the language.

That's obviously why he had to use the S-word so often. He's showing consideration to the tarts who complained about the language before, and restricting himself to only one profanity per article.

It's almost reminiscent of British TV in the 70s: "You can have 5 bloodys for 1 tit".

Aside from that, it's an opinion delivered in a provocative vernacular. Otherwise, who'd read about Andriod?

Posted from work, hence the verbal restraint shown here...

smells of Cannabis

Now, when I used to repair sound studio mixing desks, those things REALLY smelled of cannabis.

And coffee, coke, etc...

It's refreshing that Apple are engaging in a backlash against the overly-PC attitude that to live cleaner is to live better. Now, where's that BBQ and those 20 B&H (also emitters of vast benzene clouds)?

I ....

have a bad feeling about this.
