I'm only an occasional gamer - as someone fast approaching 40 I don't have time for COD and all that malarkey - and really enjoy GH and Rock band. GH has a much better interface but Rock Band continually updates and adds new songs in the music store, so there's plenty of new stuff to download.
...which includes Abersoch, which is now the rich boys playground.
One a great little village where you could get away for a quiet weekend and enjoy the surroundings, maybe get in a bit of sailing. Now the main street is bumper to bumper of rich kids with convertibles parked on the double yellows, and the water full of speedboats and jet skis.
I stopped going when people started turning up for the weekend in helicopters and microlights.
Co-incidence that this area has been chosen?
I don't use Flikr but I do have a lot of photos online. They're in www.mydomain.com/photos/<various folders>
If my hoster ever screwed up or I changed, so long as I kept the domain active surely it would be very easy to restore the pictures and the links out there across the world wouldn't be broken?
So Panorama tried to turn the tables by stalking a stalker? Maybe someone should again turn the tables and stalk the stalkers who stalked the stalker?
Oops, someone already did:

I'm afraid I may be a dying breed, but I prefer my telly to just be decent quality, have a good picture and plenty of ports, so that I can choose myself what features I want it to do. I don't need built in Freeview (already have cable and a Humax Freeview recorder), and my games console can do the media centre business.
Maybe you should STFU and go back to your Daily Mail. You obviously know nothing judging by your rants and lack of first hand knowledge on the subject.
So stop being armchair "experts" and only come back with an opinion if either of the two options in the title apply to you.
I could go on about how fingerprinting saves a huge amount of time and money, and how you're more than welcome to have a browse through our school's lost property box and see the amount of expensive clothes and other items never get collected, and how many pupils need special "loans" to buy lunch because they've lost their money (or spent it on sweets on the way into school) but I simply can't be bothered.
It might be quite easy to put 7 on a machine at home. But some people operate in a corporate environment where they have to manage group policies, shared drives, roaming and mandatory profiles, compatibility with certain apps. From what I've read on industry related forums there are many problems.
Aside from the trifling little matter of actually predicting a winner (which most people fail to do and therefore reap in huge bundles of cash for Ladbrokes et al), I'll stick to making my money by arranging money transfers with relatives of Nigerian prime ministers and kings.
Go one further a get a second hand laser. Buying a new one means there is less likely to be compatible toner carts available. The entry level HP laserjet doesn't for example or didn't last month when I needed a toner.
But as with inks, there are good and bad suppliers of compatible toners. One company, who I won't name, sold me toners which leaked all over the printer. Another's quality is excellent and not a speck has been leaked.
I manage almost a hundred Fujitsu tower PCs - Celeron 1.8's with 512Mb of RAM, 40Gb hard drive that are almost seven years old getting daily stick in a secondary school. In that time not one PSU failure and only three hard drive failures. I'd love to replace them with something faster, especially so I can deploy something newer than Office 2003, but sadly there's "no money, and those machines are still working".
I wonder how many people on here were actually alive or not a child when Thatcher was in power.
She didn't "snatch" any milk, it was still available and plentiful in those lovely mini milk bottles.
But if you research your history you'll find that *Labour* education secretary Ted Short started scrapping milk in schools in 1968.
As for the mines, UK coal mining was already in trouble because there was too much sulphur in the coal. European emission regulations meant that coal with a lower sulphur value was needed - and that was from overseas. So, blame geology and the dinosaurs.
As for all the dancing on her grave and funeral "jokes", pretty pathetic IMO.
