I know a vista lover

believe it or not I saw one today, running Vista on a mac notebook because he could not find any XP drivers for the display and things. Vista runs fine but he has not run SP1 yet; he may dual boot with ubuntu.

re:twat

in some places of the UK 'twat' is a light punch or hit; and also a fool or idiot. So you could twat a twat in the twat.

re PC wonk

is the US version Best Wonk or Wonk USA ?

why not.....

ask those boffins who were on 'top gear' to send up another car like a saab

sub detection

note too sure if this falls under the Official Secrets Act 1989 (uk) or the Espionage Act of 1917 (us) BUT there 'was' research in to smelling submarine.....

in SoCal

I believe in LA they have a few venting machines for cannabis; however you have to have your 420 medical card (about 60 pounds)

all geolocation.

all of Google is geolocation. e.g. French Nazi ban & ads.

not just AOL

..... we have to look out for now then.

mmmmm.....

so better than using a gmail account then

mmmmm.....

I cannot forget In the first gulf war the more British troops were killed by Americans than by the Iraqis.

Donald Rumsfeld could not believe the "Tora Bora" American snafu.

mmmmm.....

so you could remove or add 'gay' DNA. if I remember correctly of chromosome 10.

or have blond kids....

ada.....

me thinks plane crash.....

I like the bit (missed from this report ) about another team had "Virtual Colussus" running on a laptop also.

And Joachim Schüth used a 1.4Mhz laptop with NetBSD.

Penguin power !

mmmmm.....

still doesn't explain why my eyes change color from blue to green and back; unless AC is correct and they change after an experiment. Just checked; this week they are green.

mmmmm.....:

From the company website:"The Company is filing this petition" Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy code "in part due to circumstances which resulted from inventory not properly disclosed as obsolete when ALF acquired its business in December 2005."

BTW the market for emergency vehicles is down as a whole.

Brit in SoCal

I feel safer with a shotgun in the house AND the legal right to shot anyone that breaks in. When I get time I will take a gun course but in the meantime I have figured out from watching movies, the end with the hole points away from you.

errrr......em

I would like <em1> <em2> <em3> just like headers. I dont have a use for it but seems a good idea at 11pm after a long week.

RE:What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Her code disarmed the alarm, her account deleted the files but importantly Marie Cooley has confessed to the crime.

The charge is an second degree felony that can go up to a five-year prison sentence.

Of course this all started with the wife; who used her own phone number but her husband's office/business email account in her ad.

The thing that sticks in my mind is it took her four hours (according to the alarm records) to delete the files; could this be Vista ? or it that just copying files : )

USPS and Royal Mail

I can get mail from England and Scotland to California in 4 to 8 Days. I waited 2 weeks for USPS to move a letter 260 miles. If I send a letter back to the UK it can take 7 to 15 days by USPS. I assume USPS holds outgoing letters in a sorting office for a while until sorted.

re:"Recycled"

we know about the 'Recycled' bosses but how old is the PFY now ?

dollar or pounds.....

who cares did you see the 'years wages' no wonder they are running away form the country. BTW house prices are cheaper.

ISO 9001

I think Dell has ISO9001 which reminds me when I wrote some; even if its wrong but the procedures writen down you get "Certified" (mine were correct even down to the make, size, colour, glue type,paper density, of sticky lables)

applied not joined

'applied' that and the fact the details were on a laptop; it makes you wonder what the fu*k is going on.

If you saw this happening on a TV series or movie would you believe it ?!

The UK 'X' files :

The Truth (and bank account details) Is Out There;

Trust No One (with your details) ;

I Want to Believe (no one's this thick)

from china

maybe they got short changed on the fuel ?

wtf?

what would you do with it ? show your mate down the pub ?

" look I got 'deadbloke' autograph"

Would they care or even better; know the autograph was correct ?

Why not use paint and make a fake one.

Funny just googled ms hilton and found a autograph on goantiques dot com.

Belkin firmware

The latest version of firmware for the Belkin FSD7230-4 'wireless' (when it works) router lacks uPnP. I find my current P2P progs like uPnP so I may have to

a) get around to rebuilding spare system

b) remove flash

c) not 'upgrade' firmware

d) all three

re: Barb Wire

old age or bad film because I have trouble remembering any thing about this movie apart from the 'tat' on the arm and 'don't call be babe'.

re:mosvs8.exe/carl

nice work, "mosvs8.exe" showing up on Google search now :(

who ?

Of course some IT aware people even in the good old BBS days never used their real name.

FBI Undercover

if you want "FBI Undercover"; 40 USD and a letterhead from dept. To quote from one site "JACKETS BEARING ATF,DEA,OR FBI OR ANY OTHER FEDERAL ID OR AGENCY INSIGNIA (E.G. ICE) PURCHASER IS REQUIRED TO FAX A LEGIBLE COPY OF HIS/HER FEDERAL ID(CREDENTIALS) WITH PHOTO".

Standard "Police" and "Sheriff" Sweatshirt need no ID and cost from 20 USD or I found a "Suspect" jacket for 35 USD

usa is bigger so odds of finding a dead body is higher.

Google news on "palm desert body dumpster".

Just down the road from where I was working someone left a body outside a dumpster for a maintenance worker to find and load. Maybe the "finding" out part was not in the equation at the time; cannot say too much as information not released by police yet. :)

carpet fitters

I have heard this b4, is it common knowledge or do I have friends with black coats....

re:Finish what you've started first

Bit like that as you head into Scotland but Google Maps has the MOD base down the road nice and clear. (annan / longtown)

Speed and power

bar-b-q

Is there is a lot of Koreans in Darwin ?

still get lost....

Beancounters said we used up too many pens at our media library. So on instruction from managers I taped and glued a length of small link chain to a pen leading to a lump of wood and yes still got lost. Started to glue them inside a 3 foot length of bamboo thinking pockets are not that deep; worked for a while untill someone thought they were 'cool' .........The epoxy glue cost more than a box of cheap pens.

Then finally a 'old' PC and printer were used to print out media library request slips details which were typed in another system when media was handed over.

Drone flight sim

is there a drone sim out there ?

I have tried a A-10 flight sim and its bloody hard work went back to F15's lots easier.
