Shame

This game was a Crash Smash (the Speccy conversion anyway).

Scary

That's funny

I'd associate iPhone users with increased sexual activity, just not the type involving a partner...

Scary

MS dealers innit

Ah, the old get 'em hooked then jack up the price business model...

Scary
Joke

How can you tell if an IT recruiter is lying?

(rhetorical)

Scary

Go on

Do something useful, instead of just harassing photographers all day.

Scary

Perv Scanners?

I think they scan everyone with them, not just the perverts.

Scary

RSI

My RSI flares up just looking at that thing...

Scary

Ooops!

Looks like some idiot missed out an 'o' on the order form:

"Hello IT

have you tried turning it off and on again?"

Scary

Skewed

Of course the analysis results will be skewed because these are the people who fell for a phishing scam (I would suggest that such people probably tend to have weaker passwords).

Scary

Doom

If you've played the Doom games, you know what happens next.

Scary

data loss

So you have to take the battery out and lose all your volatile data...

Scary
Thumb Down

Disappointed

That's not a jet, it's a phone.

Scary

Can't import or sell

No problem, they only license the product and distribute the software that users can license (not buy) on discs written in the US.

Scary

Forgotten password

I'd love to tell the authorities the password for my encrypted data, but it's suddenly completely slipped my mind...

Scary

When the upturn begins?

Won't they need it for the next leg of the depression?

Scary

Yahoo!

What's the big deal with Yahoo!? They have a WWW directory thing that went out of fashion when Altavista came along, a quite popular mailing list manager they bought, the weather and financial charts for people who don't need anything better than "free". I wouldn't give $1 million for them.

Scary

Tesla Coil

A giant Tesla coil in every garage. And an even bigger one in every car park. Please.

Scary

Don't fix outlook (dot org)

Stop sending bloody HTML emails!

Scary

For Great Justice?

Take off every Zig.

Scary
Coat

talking out of

Wow, you could call it up and talk out of somebody else's arse.

Scary

RE: AC "flies aren't animals"

Yes, they are.

Scary

Rocket science

So the 5 spanner jobs really are rocket science...

Scary

tracking

Can we track comment threads we've posted to for new activity on the site?

Scary

Really?

"Back in 2005, the EOS 5D digital SLR marked the only way into full frame (24x36mm) shooting for Canon owners"

Canon had the full frame 1Ds as early as 2002...

Scary

Can't be all bad

Well anyone who puts EDS' nose out of joint can't be all bad.

Scary

proceeded?

'proceeded by a “strong language from the start and throughout” warning ' - does that mean the warning came after the programme?

Scary

They're still going?

Wow, people are still buying Nimbuses! (Nimbii?) Are they still based on the 80186 embedded washing machine controller.

Scary

reflect it back at them

Is there a patent out yet for chrome plated missiles?

Scary

Scale image

Just run it through Imagemagick, problem solved.

Scary

Wacky

Please replace "Jacqui" with "Wacky Jacqui" throughout this article in accordance with editorial policy.

Scary

non-deadly force?

Try telling that to the Polish guy murdered by Canadian policemen at Vancouver airport.

Scary
Thumb Up

SAM Coupe

Looks a bit like an MGT SAM Coupe (to my eyes).

Scary

Coca?

In the Andean countries of South America they chew coca leaves to cope with the altitude, I wonder if the new pills are based on anything like this. The US army bulk buying coca leaves could provide a nice boost to Bolivia's ailing economy.

Scary
IT Angle

Manslaughter?

How do you manslaughter somebody in a drive-by shooting?

Scary

Double Charged?

So if the BBC have to pay for the bandwidth, would the ISPs give away free subscriptions to end users? Or do they want to charge twice for the same bandwidth (seems a little unfair to say the least).
