BlueSquare

...not the same as the gambling company is it?

Opt out...

To Opt Out you apparently text E to 118800 (which is allegedly free).

I just hope that doesn't mean they ignore the opt out and spam the shit out of users even harder.

Paul

Gah

They need to bring back high-capacity players, I still have one of their NW-HD20s and that was an awesome MP3 player. Still is, in fact.

Paul

Problem is...

...your bullets cannot harm her, her wings are like a shield of steel.

Paul

@phil

Kids shouldn't be on youtube without some kind of filtering or monitoring anyway. There may not usually be porn on there but there is a lot of shit that isn't suitable. Just like the internet in general.

The internet is not a babysitter.

Paul
Pirate

Does this mean...

...that Vodafone should sue?

They're obviously breaking them on purpose rather than "accidentally"...

So if they claim isn't that criminal damage?

Paul
Stop

RealCrapNetworks

Does anyone use RealNetworks' software anymore? After RealPlayer rose to one of the biggest things in use on the net they added ads and bloatwared their apps to the point where almost nobody was using them. They went from being on every PC to being on next to none of them...

...after that does anyone use their software?

Also, FUCK YOU RealNetworks for Rhapsody. Not because it's shit but because you forced people who'd been using the name for more than a decade out of it.

Paul
Stop

Nope...

...have a nice day wouldn't be on the sign.

Can we also do the world a favour and ban her from LEAVING the country? The world doesn't deserve the export of our biggest dipshits.

Paul
Unhappy

Fox cancels a show shock horror!

Douchebags. Maybe they just don't like Summer Glau and cancel everything she's in.

Paul

I'm a non-smoker

And I think it's about time we stopped this ban-everything bullshit and just enforce guidelines. Ventilation or having a smoking-only room isn't exactly hard to do.

What's funny is...

...if you want extra-fast access to piracy (music for example) all you have to do is google a band or album name followed by the names of those file storing sites like "rapidshare". You can have something illicit downloaded in minutes.

Who provides access to the search? That's right. Google. Google make it easier to break copyright than Piratebay ever did. Over to you, lawyer douchebags. What's that? Too pussy? Then fuck off.

What kind of cunt...

...watches a show after the watershed with Gordon Ramsay in it and complains about swearing.

It contains strong language. The cunt fucking swears like a fucker. You know what the show fucking entails. It's like complaining a TV show about strippers contains too many titties - you fucking KNOW what the fuck the show is going to contain, so why be a fuckwit and complain? Just don't watch the bastard and get on with your fucking meaningless existence :)

Warning: May contain nuts.

Paul

GTAIV is a surprise...

...especially as Saints Row 2 pisses all over it.

Paul

Same thing happened...

...with Rhapsody - Realmedia released it, and then a band that had been going for years with several albums under their belt had to change their name. :)

Paul

I'll upgrade...

...if the audio support isn't arseholed like with Vista (headphones not functional / mute speakers even when told not to) and the XP integration doesn't run at a snail's pace.

And if it doesn't rape me on price.

Paul
Jobs Horns

Illogical

Surely most religions are blasphemous against most others? :D

Hearing folks bang on about God is Blasphemy against my braincells.

Paul

What next...

Are they going to launch a car that is filled from the rear and call it Rok-Steady?

Paul

Or...

...they could write the file type under the file name...

Like

VIRUS.TXT

application

etc...

It is a pain in the arse, though - non-nerds will often want to not see .exe as they don't care about extensions, they just want something that looks less confusing. Douchebags.

Paul

In fairness

...you can't really have a family filter without blocking half the internet off anyway.

@Terry - the blocking of Skype is probably like T-Mobile's blocking of some social networking/communications sites... ...though curiously they block access to downloading MSN Messenger but not to Facebook or Myspace. :)

Bra-zil

What if the Brazillian bullets were foiled by loose change, rather than foldin' stuff?

Worst.stripper.evvah.

Paul

Damnit.

My car is only about 8 years old, so I'm not eligible. It'd be nice if the £2,000 could come off the price of a new car... OR MOTORBIKE \o/

'cos that's surely going to have lower emissions and fuel consumption :)

Paul

Isn't this...

...what AOL do?

Paul

Guns don't kill people...

Wabbits do! Summon tha police! WOO WOO WOO!

Paul

Does...

...this headset smell of chloroform to you?

Paul

To be fair..

...to the google argument - google provide more search results than just torrents. They've got a big net.

TPB _only_ has lists of torrents, so their defence is a bit different. That said, it's still bollocks. :)

Paul
Thumb Down

Damnit

I thought this was the "other" Tesla. I was hoping they had a showroom where you could wear cages and walk through lightning.

Damnit.

Paul

Damnit

They shouldn't turn away the ones with massive underwear collections - turn away the rough munters. The first step is improving the quality of hookers. :)

In fact, let's go further. Let us export our manky ones to Brazil. Cultural exchange! :D

Paul

Things that are worth having that are free...

...air...

...sex...

...sunshine...

...the clap...

Paul

Shock

The internets make you stupidslol!

Paul

Comedy :)

If in doubt... Hackintosh. If you're that determined to run the horrible pile of cack that is OSX. :) Nice hardware, shite software. /glares at iPod with its lack of bugfixes

Paul

...seriously?

...worth thinking about?

How about we ask PETA to rename themselves as Hypocritical Douchebag Animal-Killers?

Nah, they won't go for obvious naming. :)

Paul

But...

...does she have big tits?

Paul

It'd be awesome if...

...someone did the CGI using paint + plasticine stop-motion. Best remake evvah.

Paul

@ EdwardP

I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!

Man that film is awesome.

Paul
Thumb Up

64 bit...

...it took ages to get Vista 64 drivers for some of my hardware. I wonder if Windows 7 can use Vista64 drivers (as it undoubtedly contains 99% of its' code)... otherwise I'll have another long wait for hardware support.

The beta was an interesting experience, too. MSN locked the whole system up :D Other than that, though, it was a fast and decent system. I'm even considering being an early adopter for once :)

Paul
Thumb Up

Awesome

10/10 for AP quoting the 1976 film "Network" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074958/

Paul

But...

...who the hell would turn up to play D+D with printouts or a PDF reader? You'd get you ass handed to you.

If you had it in book form _AND_ as a PDF for easy searching... fair enough.

Paul

Still a rip-off

99c per track, yet still way more expensive than buying a full album or physical copies. Esp as over here it'd be 99p/track.

On the other hand, fuck the pop tunes - people listening to that deserve all they get :)

Paul

Go the whole hog!

Go right back to Windows 3 + DOS or that Xerox OS they nicked it from :D

Paul

Mmmm

I know one veggie who was broken by Salmon. He now agrees bacon is awesome :)

Paul

Point 6...

6) Allow people the right to smoke in pubs if the landlord allows it / there is proper ventilation.

That would have saved three pubs I know of alone.

Paul

Money laundering

The licence fee is a pile of nads. They give a big bit of the fee back to the government, then they pay for infrastructure which is sub-let to other companies anyway.

They then make TV programmes which get given gratis by the non-profit Beeb to BBC Worldwide who can then make a profit on DVD sales...

That was my understanding of it a few years back, anyway.

...I doubt they're really missing out on iPlayer money - maybe the government is whining that their cut is lower? :)

Paul

Why...?

Why do they hate natural selection so? :(

Paul

Heh

DO NOT WANT!

Paul

BOLLOCKS to the standard

The system should be flexible. £2.5 MILLION just for 9,216 pixels per camera too much? Crop the data or shut the fuck up - that 2.5 mil would be better served givving free hookers to schoolkids.

Bastards.

Paul

At last!

At last - a punishment for listening to U2 :)

Paul
Pirate

Stupid.

"when a chance to remove a probable cause exists, it must be used" ...even when he says it isn't a probable cause.

Twat. Violent people playing violent games is NOT the same as people playing violent games and becoming violent.

FUCK, I'd kick his teeth in if I wasn't so busy playing Gears of War 2

Paul
Alien

Gah

DUMDUM DUM DUM DUMMMM

Paul

TITLE! \o/

Shouldn't the firewall be called The Web Barrier Reef?

Paul
Boffin

If only...

...they'd do a PC/Linux-compatible SDK, too. Douchebags.
