Re: There are 4 or 5 persons in the World....

I dunno why, but the first two names that occurred to me were Jeffrey Archer and the Gocompare bloke...

Re: Dinosaur resurrection out of the question!

At least it's a break from horse :)

Re: Defuse The Situation

"Raptors can open doors, but they are slowed by them. Using the floor plan on the next page, plot a route through the building, assuming raptors take 5 minutes to open the first door and half the time for each subsequent door. Remember, raptors run at 10 m/s and they do not know fear."

This *forced* me to look up xkcd raptor cartoons ;)

Excellent link, thanks for posting! :)

Kinda reminds me of the cynical-c "pirate-a-dvd-to-avoid-annoying-anti-piracy-warnings" diagram...

Nah!

It's just that 2013 is the year of the twat :)

Re: Dilbert predicted this'd happen in 2003

lol! Good find :)

Re: Those share certificates...

I would rather use the puppy though ;)

Re: Good old in-your-face book

"fundamentally what made it great has gone and can't be easily regained"

Jolly good! I just wish that in Facebook's case, it would happen a little faster (and bloodier).

I could hope that this would serve as a lesson to other big companies, but in the real world...

Re: Where to even begin...

I agree, great post!

Anyone who can sell a journalist a carved wooden dolphin...

... whilst blacked up, sporting a slight limp and HALF A TAMPON up his nose is pretty bloody interesting to me!

I laughed so hard I had to wipe away the tears ;)

@JDX

Certainly Google seem to be the lesser of the evils at present.

I for one won't be buying any Apple Rimjobs anytime soon :)

Sorry..

@JeevesMkII

Spot on! I think they only have the single player campaign just so they can say they have one.

The multiplayer is what it is meant for, and it is the multiplayer I know and love... even though I die a lot... to twelve year olds... *sob* :(

I was with Blizz too until...

"He also wants the Court to force Blizzard to drop Battle.net as a requirement to run the games."

He may be a moron, but this I happen to agree with.

Re: Google taking over the military...

@amanfromMars 1

My head hurts! @_@

No different from a Frankie Boyle joke

Tasteless absolutely, but would Frankie be charged for it?

Re: Apple Slave Owners United

While I agree with the sentiment; it's not the "twats" fault for wanting their shiney new iPhone, it's Foxxcons fault for having such crappy working conditions (in China!? surely not...) and Apple's fault for continuing to employ Foxxcon when they KNOW this is still going on.

Indeed

I can still remember realplayer being first released, then gradually turning into a bloated piece of crap...

Then again, I can still remember Flash being released... oh and Firefox... :)

Re: Obviously!

Do not feed the trolls!

I wonder what they would name a true IE6 fix...

uninstall.exe? :)

Indeed...

It's the first time I've ever heard of anything like this occuring. :)

Re: This

Good on you!

There's always Apple! They never impinge on anyone's priv... oh wait!

Still, there is Microsoft, THEY never imp.... oh wait!

Look on the bright side, at least when Google do it, it's mostly for free =)

Re: Better late than never ?

Well said; one of the reasons (naive as they are) for getting a bloody Mac in the first place!

Re: Sir

I agree with you Mr Spoon, alas when it came to voting not even Jar Jar Binks, the introduction of midichlorians (thereby dispelling the magic) or annoying Anakin shouting "yippieeeee" could tip the scales against the utter piece of shite that was Highlander 2.

At least Star Wars had a semi-decent plot which the original trilogy could follow on from... But it might come a close second :P

Pretty good for an ex-lorry driver!

This guy has done slightly-well for himself :)

Re: Preview pics on an LCD screen has a patent?

"I thought there was a "non-obvious" requirement?"

Presumably Apple couldn't patent being a bunch of w*nkers then...

Maybe they'e copying Apple?

Imagine how good all this would look on Apple's new Mountain Yak OS (TM) :D

Amen

Plus pretty much the only time she will learn these lessons are when something like this happens.

You only saw him shoot the laptop...

It had its lid down, it was carefully placed on the grass.

If it had been me, I would have stripped the major components prior to the shooting - who's to say he didn't? He certainly had the knowhow, enough time and he did plan it all out...

@ Lee

I couldn't agree with you more (though you could have just written that into one paragraph *snigger* =P)

I myself have 3 CV's; each customised for the different fields I'm applying for.

All irrelevant crap, GCSE grades have gone byebye because they're now irrelevant and I actually need the space! I agree with a lot of the folks here, page one is the "impact" page, the one I try to make count.

To the OP of this mini-thread: you just carry on with your 9 page effort, you're making it much easier for me even though you're doubtlessly better equipped for the job =P"

Normal for Norfolk :)

This kinda reminds me of the Norfolk woman who had "Do not resucsitate" tattooed to her chest and "PTO" on her back :)

(http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-14802369)

Password tattoos anyone? :D

Couldn't agree more!

You're far better people than me in allowing people free access. I think my wireless network is the only one bothering to use any encryption in my street.

I've even warned some of the neighbours about this sorta thing only to have them shrug!

I suppose the silver lining is in that anyone wanting to get upto something will leave my connection alone as it's easier to access SKY181 or [insert_easily_researchable_router_model_with_default_admin_passwords] down the road... *shrug* =)

You fool!

Unless we read about it we can't disapprove! :)

Beat me to it!!

Not literally :D

You shouldn't let it put you off...

If you think like this you'll never experience anything :)

As long as you're sensible, you should be fine.

(Why do you need to put in your address or phone number if the people already know you!?)

@Mr Coward

Part of the 'standards' process involves considering the users or "freetards" as you so colourfully describe them. (See your own link.)

Perhaps you yourself should think yourself before spouting off.

RE: Do you really think...

"None of you freetards have picked up on the fact the h.264 is *the* industry standard"

And now there's going to be a new one which we don't have to pay for.

This is how standards are made you moron.

Re: Re: So, so jaded.

Am I the only one getting slightly turned on by that comment?

In retrospect I should have probably posted anon :)
