OK... so?
Did an achievement pop-up onscreen when they did it? If so, for how many points?
Very nice...
But it still doesn't fly.... FAIL
Pffft! Photoshopped!
I could've produced that with one click of the mouse button using a 10-pixel brush in airbrush mode... these NASA bods have waay too much time on their hands since they dropped the shuttle program ;)
Why was it launched anyway?
If they had enough supplies to last a year, why was it launched in the first place? What was it full of? HP Touchpads?
Re: WARNING
"Personally, I don't relish the thought of drunken flying bombs fishtailing around the night sky on weekends."
Indeed, which is why I shall design a range of cheap mobile SAM launchers to be deployed around your property ;) they will come with automatic and manual modes. The manual aiming mode can be linked to a smartphone of your choice...
But?
Sounds awesome... will they get a free copy of Photoshop with it?
1800's 'Hacking' ;)
Of course 'Ye Olde News of the Empire' would have 'hacked' Ms Webster's diary and employed some disreputable fellow to overhear her conversations down at her local drinking establishment...
RE: The triffids were guilty too
That's useful... I can throw a few politicians and lawyers your way if you'd like?
So, in conclusion...?
They'll be making an app for it then?
Re: Pew
It should be "Pew-pew, pew-pew, pew-pew..."
Remember: always double-tap ;)
Small steps please DARPA...
I haven't got my flying car yet...
Really?
"Some say that these gas clouds must have resulted from a pile-up with another galaxy at some time in the past." ...
No wonder our insurance premiums have gone up!
Re: To be fair...
There's tons of odd mines laying around ...
It's pointless to BE prepared...
Judging by the fact that none of the fictionial authorities in any of the zombie movies/TV series I've watched faired too well in their preparations I think it's safe to say that if a real zombie invasion happened, we're all totally f*****
Carry on...
Base 8 Squid???
Hang on, dumb it down for the rest of us plebs - what's that in Wales and Elephants?
BTW that pic reminds me of the arcade classic "Space Wars", I keep expecting to see two small ships appear from the sdes and start shooting each other ;)
'Tickling' them?!
I would have thought that blasting the crap out of any pirates, smugglers or suicide boats with conventional weaponry would have been far more satisfying?
UKSA? Won't get anything off the ground...
Once Health & Safety get their grubby little mitts on it... probably not allow anything to be launched above 12 metres or something daft like that.
Facinating indeed
I think you're right, if wired-up correctly I think it'll create Steve's famed Reality Distortion Field ;)
Posted in Nokia talks Pure typographic cobblers
Indeed...
Same here... they never stopped talking bollocks until enough cow gum was thrown at them... now, where did I put my Grant Enlarger and Letraset catalogue?
Oh and yes - Nokia Pure, total bollocks too...
"Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket"
Bloody hell! Sounds like something from Thunderbirds?!
I can see where this is going...
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

Yes, but what if the car in front...
...is a Toyota?
;)
Posted in 'ALIEN' LIFE FOUND in California
Apocalypse anyone...??
So there's the possibility of alien life here on Earth? I presume a great number of scientists will descend on this lake with the intention of doing unspeakable experiments on these critters with absolutely no responsibility for what might happen to us?
If so, should I re-open my hardened bunker, dust off my baseball bat and prepare for the Zombie horde?
Sod the dust...
Where's my bloody flying car?
No worries...
Most likely, any spacefaring alien life that comes here with an intent to destroy/enslave us all will be running Windows in their massive mothership... a simple upload of a virus will suffice ;)
Scott should direct...
Cameron may have 'raised the bar' somewhat, but only in terms of filming techniques, the content and story of Avatar was weak.
I really hope Ridley Scott decides to direct this, few can match his attention to detail and the Alien storyline needs to be respected... and by that I mean Alien and Aliens, not the crap that was made after them...
Perhaps they should join forces... after all it was Cameron who directed Aliens ;)
Top Gun 2?
Maverick: "Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a hover-by"
Air Boss Johnson: "That's a negative, Ghost Rider, the pattern is full. "
Cue cheesy grin by pilot, and scene of Air Boss spilling coffee...

Hmmm...
Bears a whole new mean to the word "titsup" doesn't it?
Look deeper...
I agree we should be looking around Earth a bit more for signs... start in Giza, there may be a Stargate or two buried there...
A 'Live@ eyeball is required eh?
So someone from CERN has watched Angels and Demons then...
Steve's loaded?
Do you think he'd lend me a tenner? I fancy a takeaway on my way home tonight...
"temporal pixel multiplexing"
Sounds like something Seven-of-Nine would invent to get Voyager out of trouble...

As the camera sweeps across the crowd...
Wow, that coin really looks like it's coming towards me!
Let me be the first...
To welcome our Patio Gas-breathing Overlords...
Shields Up?
Finally, something to counter those freakin' lasers off those freakin' sharks...
Free Wuffles!
We should all start a new petition to get Wuffles de-frosted!
I was in tears reading that... tears of laughter...
Ballmer's Wrath
"Microsoft's chief executive Steve Ballmer told Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) attending their company's conference in Seattle, Washington that if they didn't move off Windows XP "they'd feel the wrath," according to attendees Twittering about the event."
'They'd feel the wrath'... Oh no, run for cover... Ballmer's going to throw a chair at us!!
Scratched discs eh? Meh, I'm used to it!
I've had my Xbox 360 for almost 3 years, it's been scratching my game discs since the day I got it and not once have I moved it whilst a disc has been spinning in it. I complained to Microsoft and got their standard 'Moving it will scratch discs' response... their tech support person refused to comment on me explaining that I had an original Xbox sat next to my Xbox 360 and it has *never* scratched a disc, bottom-line - Microsoft refused to do anything about it.
I have to say though that not all my game discs get scratched as it has a lot to do with the type of game, for instance games that required lots of preloading such as Oblivion or Bioshock means that the disc spins more frequently increasing the probability of a disc getting scratched.
All I do now is resurface a disc when I get a 'disc unreadable' error and when the extended warranty runs out I shall take it apart, remove the drive and either fix it by placing some foam pads on the underside of the drive bay (which will prevent the disc from 'tilting' towards the laser assembly) or replace it with one that has been properly treated (as the ones in the early XBox 360's should have been).
