AC Icon

I can just see a flood of "Vendetta" icons occuring on most El Reg pages. I may get bored or not be able to sleep at night. Of course, everyone has their own opinions, but it's the opinion that counts, not the icon and IMHO (whoops; unintentional pun) there will always be a mix of sensible and troll opinions, but hey, that's just what social life is like - a mix of good and bad and you have to accept it - but of course you intelligent people know that.

BTW, do you think all you people posing as Anonymous are really AC. You're being recorded for your own safety/security and training purposes and your details won't be used for any other purposes (other than being loaded onto an unsecured memory stick and left on a train).

Yeah, ok I'm grumpy today.

@Dan White on Lose/Loose

Abso-loosely (terrible play on words, I accept) drives me insane too.

You don't loose the game and you don't have a lose wheel !!

Re: ZX81

I remember ordering a ZX81 when I was a young ignorant programmer (and now of course, I'm an old ignorant programmer) but the delivery time was going to be phenomenal, which cancelled out the OS loading time, on average. And I too got a BBC Micro, which in those days was easy to learn inside out.

Then I sold it, and I so regretted selling it (the BBC).

Re: Scared of buying music now

"the front stereo pair are floorstanders"

Does that make them 'Outstanding' then ?

Slightly off-topic note about logos on tv

I'm getting to be a grumpy sod, but aside from the HD issues, I'm fed up of most of the TV channels having a stupid / intrusive logo in the top corner.

I know what the flaming channel is! I just selected the damn thing.

Losing track...

Well I started reading all the posts on here, and did get slightly bored. Plus I'm surprised that no-one converted the word "Socitm" into "Scrotum". Yeah, I'm slightly mad, but hey, I've been up all night coding.

Pedantry...

I had a comment rejected recently, for correcting someone's grammar (I think that was the reason), and not done in a nasty sense (I won't repeat it here for fear of rejection of *this* comment).

So why have an icon for Pedantry if this is, sort of, forbidden?

Very subtle. Like it. You must write cyptic crossword clues for a living :-)
