HELLO SAILOR

Have a click for giving me a laugh this morning

Re: Breaking Apple patents

"overhating" lol!

Yep, Dell works for me

On my 2nd XPS desktop at home and Optiplex & Latitude for the last few years at work. Decent value/performance, no failures. My next machine will be a Dell!

Re: Go grab market, kill competition ....

I was thinking the same thing. I'd snap up a couple of Surface 1's for £99 and while in the short term it would take sales away from the Surface 2, it would massively grow the RT user base and would be good for the platform and its Store. I don't think it would do much damage to what's already a rather beleaguered brand. C'mon Satya, make a bold first move!

But Miyazaki, surely?

Re: Similar problem with W7?

How do you put up with that? I'd have nuked/reinstalled it ages ago.

END OF LINE

Better still

Re: I on the other hand....

+1 for mentioning Runaway!

Re: The reference.

I'll do it

Re: Jesus guys, let it go

How about because I'm a C# dev by trade who uses Cubase 7 to make music in the evenings, when I'm not playing Fallout NV or Bioshock Infinite.

Re: death and taxes

Yeah all those companies that paid out when they didn't have to went out of business.

Re: FM vs DAB

I bloody hate DAB. We get iffy FM reception so after being bombarded with adverts on the BBC with 'D Love' going on about how great DAB is we took the plunge. It's completely useless, we get no BBC stations whatsoever or the wife's Classic FM. We get something called 'Heart' which is terrible and sounds like it's underwater half the time, and 'Gaydar' which is clear as a bell. Thanks. Fortunately the thing is also an iPod dock. So is it our fault because we live in a coalmine or in the Outer Hebrides? No, we live on the south coast, near Brighton, along with a few million other people.

Re: Does anyone know

"I'm proud to say that I have only once tasted an item on their menu. It was so bad that after one mouthful, it went into the nearest bin. Since then, I have never felt the need to visit them again and if I have anything to say about it, I never will in this life."

Blimey, talk about being on one's high horse.

Try a Big Mac, they're nice :oP

Re: Wrongo boyo

FutureShock999 is right of course, but transparent aluminium is also used in the viewports of the Enterprise-D so TFA was right (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Transparent_aluminum). Thank you!

Re: Please define your acronyms!

IIRC, it's basically a backronym and they named if after Eos, the goddess of the dawn. It's not a good one is it, It's a very dull phrase and doesn't even mention the autofocus, which was the big deal when the 650 first came out. Still got mine, works perfectly!

Re: Nah

Yeah, I've got Ker-Plunk at home, why would I want this?

Re: £29 e-reader dodgy marketing?

I did the same as you, but I just ordered one using the link at the top of the article, worked for me (cue email in 5 secs saying they're out of stock)

What problem will it solve

People had no idea what iPads would be used for when they first appeared, but seem to have found lots of uses for them.

Re: Betteridge's Law says 'No'

From Betteridge to Godwin, well done

Agreed

I'm no fan of DSG but this seems harsh, it looks to me like they've held up their end of the deal. There will always be the odd case where some gibbon messes it up.

PS: BRRRAAAIINNZZ. Doh!
