LES

Used to be called the Launch Escape System in days of yore, i.e. during the Mercury and Apollo programs. MLAS is different in that the solid state rockets are integrated into the module rather than the old style bolt on missile with deflected thrust.

Paris cos she knows all about thrust, deflected or otherwise.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

For Denmark read US mobile phone companies, US cable companies, etc. For a country that is so pro competition it is chock full of monopolies and cartels.

You can get a patent

for this shit!?

RSC gone loopy

They have completely lost the plot, what on earth has Psycho got to do with chemistry, tenuous link to water use and so what on earth has chemistry got to do with that. Shurely should be the Royal Hydrological Society (if it exists) or OfWat. Complete bollocks, hope the RSC members are happy with the use of their not insubstantial dues.

Paris cos she has her own shower scenes on film.

One wonders

who brought the Vaseline!

Too pricey

Infringing on the lower end of the laptop market deos not make it a goer.

Think of the bloody Children

but then if you think of them too often I bet you eventually get arrested.

Restrict the sale

to only us and our friends, which are not the same ones as we profess in public.

Noooooooooooo

Besides who will take Agutter's role and get their kit off with such abandon as Jenny always did?

Not Paris, she'd get her kit off alright but she couldn't act her way out of a wet paper bag.

About effing time too

title says it all.

Typical

Title says it all

Bleugh

looks like its time to avoid the mainstream media for a fortnight.

Alien icon looks like him, if you're on the same medication as I am.

New phone

Unlimited Texting and Facebooking apps $9.95 pcm

new and innovative ways for you to drive to suicide those geeky goths that no-one talks to, or you can drive them to acts of mass violence.

Unlimited Picture Texting $9.95 pcm

how to screw your rep for life, take a candid shot send it to your boyfriend, he immediately passes it on to the entire Los Angeles telephone directory, Before you know it your knorks are on display for all eternity on every other perv website.

If I had a teenaged kid I would be thinking six times about a mobile phone for them.

Paris, cos she aint a teenager and she still got fucked up by her phone.

WTF is going on down under

They're being more restrictive than Dita von Teese's 16" waist bustiere, one wonders if the good Ms. Teese would make it through the filters!

We need a Dita icon.

Bollocks

The pair of them look like any other booking/search page from any number of ticket/travel agents.

@AC Technet Subscription

Just done this myself, with 5 PCs to take care of at home $293 inc tax is pretty reasonable.

Another survey

with a not so hidden agenda. Mind you I was under the impression that to make a successful Disney movie the central character absolutely had to have lost at least one parent in some way or another. Grenade cos it should be shoved up the surveyors agenda.

Ye shall

reap what ye have sown.

Hmm, perhaps a bible icon, no Jobs Messiah icon so we'll have to make do with Paris who I'm sure doesn't indulge in bondage...DAMN!

Never mind the folding plug

the multi adapter is much more interesting, even if the plug is made permanently folded, if 4 of them are sold with the multi adapter it will be a winner. The folding plug I suspect will not make it to market, too many moving parts for conductors carrying 220V to make it cheap and safe.

I want

an iLiver one,

Surveys

Always have a hidden agenda, my feeling about netbooks is that certain manufacturers of both hardware and software have been trying, since the devices first appeared, to kill them off. This survey is one more drip. I can see a few punters buying a netbook and then getting pissed when they cant edit a 25MB image in photoshop, but then these are the very same punters that will try and run Crysis on a 10 year old Windows 98 machine, and get pissed when it wont work. Netbooks have their place, I just hope that the concerted upspeccing campaign doesn't kill the breed off.

Paris cos she knows her strengths and constantly flashes them.

Meh

bout sums it up, give me another higher definition format so that I can rebuy all of my Bluray/DVD/Videodisc/VHS/Betamax/V2000 titles at 3x the cost.

Paris cos she knows when she's been rogered... repeatedly!

Bartenders hereabouts

Use the phrase 'What you fucking wanting you fucking fuck", patrons tend to be more polite.

Whatever you do

Don't move or the fly gets it!

Paris don't need no cause to get her kit off.

Screw all this

Return to the seminar system, no lectures, 3 hour seminars with papers to be prepared and worked through or presented. See if they like that any better.

Paris cos she prefers the one on one.

How many

Users actually need an indexed search system, I bet it's nowhere near the number that have Googles search (tried it uninstalled it) or MS search/fastfind (never installed in the frist place), if you need to find something instantly, smarten up your act and use a logical storage regime. Desktop searches of whatever flavour cripple your machine, Fastfind was a bugger when it used to be installed by default back in the day, it could bring a system to its knees with no indication to an inexperienced user what the hell was going on. Moral of the story: make task manager your friend, get to know the running processes, if there is one that is hogging resources find out what it is and then decide whether to nuke it.

Paris cos she knows an arse from an elbow!

Interest and fear

There has to be an interest and there has to be no fear. My folks absolutely refused to have internet, principally due to a lack of interest, they reckoned they had enough to occupy their retired life without adding the risks or the fear, of ID theft, viruses, worms etc. We are talking about people who didn't have a colour TV until the mid 80s and only got satellite TV when my dad realised that there was such a thing as the History channel and that he could listen to Radio 4 without whistles and pops. I'm sure they are not the only ones who couldn't give a tinkers cuss about broadband, interwibble or egovernment. Some people don't want it, leave em alone, these are the same people who hit the mute button during TV adverts, they can't be commoditised.

Paris cos neither of my folks would have a friggin clue who the hell she is, and they're all the better for that!

All browsers

Suck, bring back Mosaic.

mine's the one with the rear fastening buckles.

Typical

Get away from the accepted terminology create a 'new' class of device charge the same/more for your OS.

Buy a Laptop

Sometimes you wonder where manufacturers heads are.

Efros

Artists still getting screwed

Just not as deeply. Be interesting to hear a justification for the 60% trousering by Amazon. If they upped the percentages to the artist they could conceivably get a few of the bigger names. Hurt the RIAssA big time.

Paris cos she can do the math.

Odds on

That McMaster is up for re-election quite soon.

Efros

Paris, just to piss off McMaster

Face it

Ramsay's a twat, he's abullying one at that.

Makes me glad

I bought a Jetbook!

Efros

Some semblance of sense

Hopefully it will break out in the other democracies, let's face it, it's difficult to plant code into the OS of a HB Staedtler.

Hawker Siddeley

Had a similar self financed approach when they, developed the Harrier. Filled a gap that the armed forces didn't even perceive until they saw the Harrier nee Kestrel in operation.

Paris cos she knows repeated VTOL is best.

Captcha needs to be replaced

The Captcha or other system images I have encountered on some sites are so distorted as to make them unreadable, the randomly jumbled letters are ok, its when they run the letters together and warp the baseline.

Efros

Paris cos she needs glasses for Captchas too.

X

Xylophagous Xebu = Wood eating (?) cow

Xenophobic Xiphias = Stranger fearing swordfish

Efros

For a second there

I thought we were going to get an elite force of SAS, SBS, SEALS etc to deal with these assholes on the Somali coast...
