In secondary school...

...in science we had to mess around with this kind of crap. No one liked it, building circuits and radios and stuff. My brother likes all this stuff, and guess what he did it outside of school too because he was interested in it. Everyone else in my class hated the subject.

Giving lessons in this or that is a nice idea but, MPs, don't expect lots of people to start wanting to become engineers, only one person in my whole class now has anything to do with building electronics, and even she wasn't interested in it while at school.

My password is password

Funnily enough I knew someone who's password was a password, and every servrice he used back then had this "password". He thought he was really smart... I think lots of people do... "Enter password:".... hhaaa ok... "password" - bang your in!

Sort of on a par with the dwarves at moria "Speak freind and enter"...

It was...

.... a cobra mkIII using fuel scoops to harvest the valueable mineral particles contained within the dust.

Google moaning that people now have to use @facebook addresses....

...hmmm last time I bothered to try out google plus I had to use a gmail adress to do it.

If Toth...

... doesn't know what people mean by "do not track", then she is in the wrong job. It's not difficult or hard to understand. She just doesn't like the answers people give her when they tell her what DNT means.

Boldy steal cards where no man has stolen before

If I was the stealing type, I would go to a start trek convention and lift a few wallets. Everyone there probably has 1701 as there PIN.

Just employ lesbians and gays

and allow the lesbians to only scan women and gay men to scan men... and maybe some she-males for the trannies

Call that hot?

You don't know the meaniong of the word hot.

A core collapse supernova in it's final burning stage has a temperature of over 100 billion degrees kelvin.

Now that's hot.

I'm one of the users

..I joined looked at it for 5 minutes and never signed back in a again. I bet they still include me in that list of 90 million users!

I don't want to have personalised search results, or find that when I sign in to youtube that I'm signed in to google to. I also don't want to have to have a gmail account. Yahoo kicks arse and looks much better than googlemail.

Am I the only one who finds that there is nothing really social about social networks?

Station 267 not listening...

Station 168 not listening...

How many british people share these fon memories of IT lessons? Then the "IT teacher" tries to protend he knows what he is doing a gives the old BBC micro a thump on the monitor... "Sorry you'll have to find a nother computer" was the usual response.

After that sitting in pairs trying to learn about the battle of the bulge, or how to make a teletext page... the wonders of british IT lessons.

Is it any wonder that there is an IT shortage? When 30 somethings grow up using BBC micros, and if they were lucky the acorn archimedes.... of course once you get in to the real world you soon realise that no one ever uses these things outside of school. Making everything you have learnt completely useless.

Ubuntu Studio...

... that's new to me... I looked at the screenshots and then I realised why Adobe Apps are still the industry standard and why real designers use apple/windows. If that's the kind of interface that can be created using free graphics software I can see why the worlds design companies don't use them. I can see why linux users think GIMP/inkscape are great programmes... the people using them obviously have no idea about design... and think just because they have learnt to use a stupidly designed graphics programme, that that some how makes them designers. Fail.

The Horse is strong in this one...

... feel the Horse. You must become one with the Horse.

Wikipedia should get rid of all it's editors

... you can't edit anything on there for love nor money... whatever you write will removed and classed as vandalism even if its is nothing of the sort. The editors just have different opinion about the subject and use the editor rights to revert changes.

Also if the dude in the red chinese shirt (why is he always pictured like that, it makes him look like a twat) want anyone other than nerds and geeks to write wikipedia articles he should make the thing understandable to normal people... does anyone understand what they see when they try and undo something?

Let me know ...

... in 10 years what the result of the case is.

TYPO3 5

will kick drupals arse.

Flaying cars my arse

Every 2 years since the 1960 we were supposed to have flying cars and live in houses that could double as a Doctor Who set. I believe it when I see it.

Plus if this is intended for the American Army it's going to have to be able to lift considerable more weight then it currently does... especially if it ever has to carry those ex-gamers, I mean the people who now control all the drones.
