Posted in Whale versus shark in KIWI DEATH MATCH!
Trouble is
if the sharks had FRIKKIN' LASERS!!! the Orcas would respond with SMEGGIN' TACTICAL NUKES!!!11, they're that hardcore.
I applied for that one
All I got was killed in a cheap negative effect.
Turn off the internet - that's crazy talk
The internet is just a black box with a flashing red light on the top. There is no off button.
"I think well known brands tend to pay more for R&D"
Why?
I'd question
the "affectionately" bit.

"The earth is not warming any more"
Famous last words.
Put that simply
the idea is tautologous nonsense. But, of course, you've put it too simply. Put simply, but not too simply, the idea is something like: "the survival of organisms with inheritable traits that allow individuals to survive long enough to have sufficient offspring to ensure those traits survive. That may be beyond your ability to understand but it isn't nonsense.
Now, can we get back to talking about how crap Facebook is.

The world will be fine
I just wouldn't fancy being around in another fifty plus years. Just maybe this work will make life in the 2060s a little more endurable.
Music
Where?
Okay, there's some damn fine religious music but from my brief exposure it's not to found on Song of Praise.

Posted in 2011's Best... compact cameras
I got a grip
It's attached to my SLR. Obviously, I'm reading the wrong article.
Translation fail?
Since 100km is pretty generally regarded as the edge of space I doubt the accuracy of the statement about the fuel burning up in "the dense atmosphere of the Earth at an altitude of approximately 100km".
Oh God, you made me remember
the flying shark.

A-ZOO-S is indeed the 'correct' pronunciation but the company itself tends to use A-SUS in promotional material produced for/by English speakers. (Or maybe their PR company just didn't get the memo.)
I'm not a Bill Hicks wannabee
I'm a Douglas Adams wannabee.
And anyway I wouldn't have existed if not for Hitler but that doesn't stop me being 21236468th on the list of people who get to have a crack at killing him should time travel ever be invented..
So?
If Einstein where around today he'd have a dozen sets of black t-shirt and jeans.
Boffin chair blasting
Great fun for the boffin.
Less fun for the Trazabentigarnos whose stay this used to be.
Mine's the one with the collected works of Arthur C. Clarke in the pocket.
+10
for adding some perspective (the first thing that seems to get lost when people talk about Wikipedia).
Yin and yang
It's to preserve the balance of the universe - God Particle, Devil typeface.
This reply is a figment of your imagination
brought to you by a Pre running WebOS 2 . (Thanks to a 'community'.)
The "museum or educational centre"
should contain a permanent display of a lead balloon.
With infographics
slick is the problem. Try good insted
You're forgetting
supply and demand. If the supply's there and demand is low prices go down thus pushing up demand. That's not happening here.
The Eternity Quest
for a decent Doctor Who game.
Why not?
ISTR in America's Army or whatever it was called if you broke the rules you ended up in a virtual Leavenworth.
Wasn't god
permanently on acid. It would explain pretty much everything.
What does BAE know about
about oak and hemp?
Don't be so hard on him
I think he just had a bad experience with Deepak Chopra.
Your digestive system is safe
Any who claims to be able to make five year quantitative predictions is a charlatan.
Well, I for one welcome
a good "ON (THE) MOON(s)" headline.
Posted in Facebook disses Effin Irishwoman
I've clicked on the blue button
Can't have this sort of filth here. (Lucky for you, I'm blue-green colourblind.)
capacitive styluses
are a joke. Capacitive touchscreens are inherently inaccurate and no stylus can change that.
Posted in James Bond savages the Kardashians
These ones
are less ambitious - they've only taken over one planet. Time to join the Marquis.
Yes, pretty well known
I think it was mentioned on QI and/or Mythbusters.
And people think
Facebook is creepy.
If you're going that route
wouldn't an integrated power/data networkbe a better idea? I suspect, though, that line loss would eat up any savings on the power side.
"Fancy capacitors"
You mean two sheets of metal with some plastic between? Even electrolytics aren't exactly complex.
50% of the object you can see right now
are tardises.

"into an Arduino again"
You say that kike it's a bad thing.
Posted in Olympus PEN Mini E-PM1
OM-4 Ti - Pah
The OM-1, now that was a real camera.
Where's the luddite icon?
Douglas Adams was always right
even when he was wrong!
The trick
is to learn something about the subject before you start.
It works in other areas too.
AFAIK
Chris Foss as mentioned above. Great artist though his genius paradoxically wasn't really in the spaceship design
One of the best
(if not the best ) designs by Brian Johnson who was also responsible for the Nostromo and the Millennium Falcon. (I think those may have been mentioned.)
BAAPS
Who the hell's writing the universe these days?
Hey
The guy was wearing a white coat so it's all legit.
