nice story, totally agree with the comments..

the harriers got life left in it yet!  

In Supersonic stealth jumpjet makes 'short landing'

all that money they spent on developing this thing..

the americans have tweaked the harrier above what we did (i presume we get that tech back?), with ceramic engines and grp bodywork..

i wonder if it was physically impossible of making the harrier supersonic?

either way it was dam fine plane and i find it hard to see why speed is the only important thing with fighters..

stunnning..   

In Interpol issues arrest warrant for fake passport hit team

WTF?

this supposedly moral country gets a pass for assassination, yet these "terrorists" are vilified? orde wingate (of the chindits fame) taught the zionists how to attack..they took it a step further and operated on civilians. "the ethnic cleansing of palestine" by ilan pappe is a 'good' read..so is "overcoming zionism" by joel kovel..also worth a read is "khirbet kizeh" a hebrew book about the clearing of palestinians villages BY FORCE, which is terrorism on a grand scale..i don't see the semitic arabs living in palestine as anything other than trying to get their homeland back or defending themselves, from caucasian crusaders.

most people havn't the FAINTEST idea about what israel is like, gets up to or thinks about others..truly horrible..truly nasty..but then again, i know a little bit about it, which is why i say these things.

sure it was..   

In Interpol issues arrest warrant for fake passport hit team

FAIL

a bunch of corrupt, inept gangsters from the west bank that did it..israel had nothing to do with it...and i'm a potato.

predudiced..   

In Interpol issues arrest warrant for fake passport hit team

sure, because the israelis are SUCH peace loving people! google deir yassin, qana, qibya, the u.s.s. liberty, the lavon affair, the grapes of wrath, this proves israel just wants peace! BWAHAHAHAHA!!

b 3

nothing will happen, EXACTLY right..   

In Interpol issues arrest warrant for fake passport hit team

Thumb Up

israel can do what the damn well it wants to do and there's not a DAMN thing anyone can do about it. this is the law. in 1953 arik "the butcher of beirut" led his unit 101 to attack qibya..69 arabs half of them WOMEN AND CHILDREN were slaughtered..at the time, america, britain and france demanded that the perpetrators be brought to justice..in 2000 monkey-boy bu$h called him a "man of peace", AHAHAHAHA!!! a saudi prince said he was a man of pieces, a piece of lebanon, a piece of jordan, a piece of syria..zionists deserve NOONES sympathy and EVRYONES condemnation. history is enough. the TRUTH is enough...all you have to do is research and you will find out what the zionist crusaders are really like. (start with "the ethnic cleansing of palestine" by ilan pappe, great read..)

leave iran alone!  

In Nuke-bunker-nobbling US megabomb delayed

israel has 200 nooks apparently..they have consistently denied inspection and they kill innocent people..ahmadi-nejad ACTUALLY said that the zionist regime *must be wiped from the pages of history*, but any fool who thinks that the second iran gets a bomb (even IF that's what they will do) they will hurl it at palestine is a fool. EVERYONE KNOWS what the zionists are like, they will slaughter thousands if not millions of iranians as a "going wild and that is a good thing" (actual tipzi lipni quote) response..(btw, i have read "the ethnic cleansing of palestine" and "overcoming zionism" and "khirbet kizeh", so i have some knowledge on the subject)..and my grandfather was jewish, but any biology i may or may not have does NOT dictate my morality..common human decency does!

thank you.

apart from israel?   

In Nuke-bunker-nobbling US megabomb delayed

when did israel let any one in?

EVER???

b 3

hmm read up on the history!   

In Nuke-bunker-nobbling US megabomb delayed

i too care about innocent people, which is why i am an anti-zionist! (read "the ethnic cleansing of palestine" by ilan pappe, "overcoming zionism" by joel kovel and "khirbet kizeh", all deal with innocent people! (hint, they are NOT the zionists!)

nazi central..  

In Israel tests biometric database

FAIL

after this they are planning to force all arabs to wear yellow arm bands..

that was a joke, but who would bet on the israeli public voting AGAINST that?

they voted in "bam bam" netenyahu and the thug liberman?

FAIL because the eastern european crusader colony in palestine has failed..

better still..  

In Kingston SSD Now V 40GB boot drive

Alert

why have the larger traditional hard drive in the case at all?

40gb is MORE than enough to fit an OS in (!) and plenty of apps that really MUST have that kind of access time (i'm thinking primarily games here), whilst EVERYTHING else can go on the external HD?

why have a hard drive sitting there spinning away, containing your movies and stuff on that you rarely if ever, play? minute after minute, hour after hour?

i'm just about to do just that, get a 34nm X25M and use my 5400 "green" ext 1TB Hd for the rest!

cheers,

for most people a simple windows re-install would help!  

In Kingston SSD Now V 40GB boot drive

Go

just 'overlay' ("upgrade") a copy of windows into ur existing box..

a fresh windows install runs ridiculously faster than an old (1 year+) install!

trust me, it works a treat and only costs you some time..

with an 'overlay', rather than a completely new install, all of your existing apps and settings will be there, don't panic!

it *may* not be possible if you've already gone to SP3 and you only got SP2 discs (i have seen some SP3 discs around), in which case, it's a new install for you, but that's not the end of the world and it's possible that a totally new install will run faster than an "upgraded" one..

not only sony..  

In Sony coughs to faulty Vaio notebooks

Alert

hi,

not sure if you know this, but the TX line of HP's tablet pc's have an annoying habit of dying just after the years guarantee is up? (my TX1340EA went after about 19 months)..

from what i can gather, it's a design fault, inasmuch as the heatsink doesn't sit tightly enough on the gpu, so over time, it heats up so much that it loosens the solder around it and yer graphics go..

also, somewhat bizarrly, just prior to this yer wireless goes kaput as well..

atm, HP are not taking ownership of this problem and it's making a lot of people mad!

FKKN MORONS!  

In Riot police raid birthday barbecue for 'all-night' Facebook tag

i put a link to this story on my facebook account.

as far as i concerned, these "police officers" are criminals.

whoever authorised this raid should be arrested.

..and then have his IQ tested..the moron.

btw, does that ETERNAL stupidity regarding "repetative beats" (michael howard, now there's another idiot!) actually extend to military marching bands?

i thought not..

pathetically comical..i'll bet non-british are laughing at us.
