Re: As with all new technologies...

This time (and this time only!) I hope porn doesn't use this

IronSteve

Great...I can't wait for all the lazy journalism regarding what's trending on YouTube...now broken down by demographic...Yay!

IronSteve

Bullshit...it was ASCII porn

Re: If Carling made scouser astrophysicists

It's Carlsberg not Carling...and Geordies say 'Why aye man'

IronSteve

Already

...incredibly sick of the term Peak Apple

IronSteve

No mention of the Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast....I quite enjoyed that one

IronSteve

It only matters if it's too small or too big

...once in the average range it's what you do with it that counts.

I can see why a micro penis would affect attractiveness...but most woman aren't exactly crying out for a Dirk Diggler unless they enjoy walking like John Wayne on a regular basis

Re: I'm intrigued by the 'Tolkein inspired menu' in the tea room..

...You shall not pasta!

I don't even think it's the sensation that's the problem..Durex Featherlites are pretty decent.

...Now if they can invent something that takes away that awkward moment when you have to interrupt foreplay to hunch over (bare arsed) at the side of the bed and fumble around in the dark (or even worse..turn the light on) to fiddle with a fuckin' sachet while an increasingly impatient woman getting more and more out of the mood is peering over your shoulder....

Re: Euphemism?

Tried my luck with that bird last night...but she'd goblinproofed her chicken coop so no joy

IronSteve

Good thing they just secured more from the US so...

Re: The Real "Wow" Signal

I agree, and the fact that it's instruments appear to still be functioning...amazing success story all round

IronSteve

Can they please call the new technology Garry Captcharov?

Re: Not all bad

"Would an ISP with no porn be Virgin Media?"

No, you can be on the business end of a facial and still remain a virgin ;)

...we used to play a game where'd you'd close your eyes and drink yogurt from a straw...took a while to get the straw going though...

Who knows eh?

North Korea is dead to me now....I couldn't live anywhere that doesn't allow a fohawk

IronSteve

it is a bit creepy though...

I agree with Ethan Hawke:

"People want to turn everything in this country into a competition... It's clear who the winner is and who the loser is. It's why they like to announce the grosses of movies, because it's a way of saying, 'This one is No. 1.' It's so asinine...

"If you look at how many forgettable, stupid movies have won Oscars and how many mediocre performers have Oscars above their fireplace. Making a priority of chasing these fake carrots and money and dubious accolades, I think it's really destructive."

IronSteve

The flagship games are what I'm interested in...would be nice to see something both epic and unexpected for launch

IronSteve

They're over-engineering this, why not use the instant replay approach of rugby.

"Use of video referee was introduced to rugby union in 2001.[13] The laws of the game allow for "an official who uses technological devices" to be consulted by the referee in decisions relating to scoring a try or a kick at goal.[14] The decision to call on the video referee (now called "Television Match Official (TMO)") is made by the referee, then the call is made by the replay referee, who takes his place in the stand of the host team or more usually in the Television Outside Broadcast van. He either tells the pitch referee by radio link-up or by the use of a big screen during televised matches. Unlike in the NFL, a coach cannot challenge a call made by the pitch referee."

I always saw holodeck technology being driven by the sex industry. If you really had a room that could simulate almost any scenario, what would you spend your time doing?

IronSteve

The interest in these sorts of things completely justifies Disney's decision to make more films....

Re: "Meat is Red Rum"

...that one just made my day

IronSteve

It's my understanding that you pay upfront for entrance to the park(s) and this allows you on all the rides. The only thing I paid for within the park(s) was food and merchandise.

So if this is just used for paying for these extras, tracking your movements and some additional location aware services like Buzz Ligthyear calling you by name then I don't see a problem.

Re: Correlation != causation

Spot on sir, and should be completely obvious to anyone with half a brain. So why do we keep getting these f**cking poxy reports

I appreciate the Soylent Green reference

Just get rid of them and replace each one with a tree

IronSteve

I'd prefer if they just brought in clock stopping to stamp out time-wasting and the joke that is injury time

IronSteve

Nice looking woman, but slightly pissed off when opening that on my lunch break in work....I'm not a prude, but I work with many

IronSteve

He's too handsome to play Jobs...IMO

Trollface

Yeah but what about Apple...

IronSteve

Receiving a text in between games of Snake on a Nokia 3210...the golden age of SMS.

IronSteve

Studying the Apes in zoos....I'd be interested to see the correlation with humans in Jail

Am I the only one that finds joking about the man's death a bit sad?

IronSteve

I don't mind the laundry list of silly requirements per se. I've always considered them the requirements for the "ideal candidate", where the ideal canididate doesn't really exist. So they've never stopped me applying for a job (within reason) if I felt I had enough experience/ability to do it.

Same applies when I'm on the hiring end of things. When we've said "At least 5 years in X", we'll call in someone with ~ 2 or 3 years provided the candidate looks good in general

Re: Where's the pic?

Re: Bloody hell...

Indeed. Want to blow an American's mind? Point out that there are pubs in Ireland older than the USA

Big corporations will do whatever they can to strengthen their position, Google is not alone in this. Nice article

Re: Well Duh!

"I never understood the need for anything while on the can. My bowel movements take an extremely short time, to be honest, often less time than a number one.."

What's the rush? Take some time and relax in the one place you can actually get some peace...could change your life ;)
