History repeating itself

Back in the '80s, I brought a EuroPC which was a PC in a keyboard. A bit thicker than this one and a 3.5 inch floppy where the touchpad is. But it had a proper keyboard and internally I could add a 1/2 height ISA card - wow, the expansion capabilites were endless !!!

Fn key placement

is correct for us Thinkpad users - but my 12" X61 runs 2.5Ghz, has 8GB RAM, SSD and 3G card and was only a few quid more than this.

Boring

The main things about racing is the speed and noise. Neither come to mind when I think of gran's electro-cart bumbling along the pavements.

Lego playset re-enactment

maybe ?

yep

the best spontinaity is that which is pre-planned and rehearsed.

So Rik...

you subscribe to Britney's twitter feed then? And how old are you ?

perhaps

Jr should learn to shoot first before being let loose in Africa ?

where's the d!ckhead icon ?

Google it !!

"in Mountain View, California, at a company they declined to name."

So when Lobban retires

will he be 'lobban' the MoD - ho ho ho, what a sense of humour I have :-)

What you fail to understand is

how difficult it is to 'flip 180' in space. Side retro-rockets get fired, you flip 179 degrees and end up in Jupiter instead of Mars.

The way I see it is two rockets on side pods.After 1/2 way to Mars, you have to switch off the engines (good luck in restarting them in the middle of no where), spin them (in sync) 180 on the pods and fire them up (fully in sync to the nano second) and hope you don't wiggle abit, else hello Jupiter.

Not going to happen with current human technology. Best pull out the crashed UFOs from Area 51 and reverse engineer their technology.

He concluded: "Let common tradition and common sense prevail."

Although obviously only after much media attention showed what a bunch of twats they are

I want

to see the lego version.

Come on, it can't be that hard building a plastic bridge which holds Optimus Prime can it ?

There should be a security video available soon

since most petrol stations have cameras - should get a lot of hits on YouTube

Good to see there's an app for that

(videoing your iMac on fire)

Email marketing company sending spam?

Never would have believed it myself.

Of course, its a good cover story when Spamcop etc complains about the spam from them "Oh sorry, we got hacked".

Or

this is just a fragment of the real meteor which hit, vapourising Martian-kind and itself 50 million years ago. Bit's flew off the low density planet and smahed into ours.

And we all know what happened 50 million years ago....

Twats @ twitter

so, Twitter can't cope with popular people? Just as well I don't start one else Twitter (and probably the whole internet) would collapse under my followers !!!!!!!!

So the 4 x 6-core processors

didn''t make the contribution to it's speed then ?

But what's it Crysis frame-rate like

that' the important question

Use ground based components

or 'radio masts' as they used to be called in the old days. Wonder where the sat. bit comes in ?

might it be

that everyone who wants a console has now got one ?

He's moved on

literally. Only a stick man is shown on the tree stump now - stick man/tree stump - geddit ?

That's OK if the battery life is shortened

you just swap out the battery for a new one. Oh no, you can't !! Send it back to Apple and be without your iPhone for two weeks ? That'll be good publicity :-)

Nice but...

pity the transformer will still be the size of Optimus Prime (geddit, transformer, Optimus. I'm wasted on you guys).

Where's the Transformer icon ?

Had a problem late last night as well

but the transaction seemed to go through but the reply from the sellers website indicated it didn't.

Has anyone thought about immigration control

Considering how anal US immigration is, do you send a message from the White Knight asking for permission to enter the US of A - and if they refuse are you stuck in orbit ?

pants

to that !!!!

But really

from an evolutionary point of view - you grow up and decrease in size ? Imagine how small you'd be if you made it to old age ?

I think they've got the sperm from some other species (maybe a giant crab) who died nearby these other creatures.
