yay

I wasnt interested until the author said how hard it was, and that every racing line has to be perfect.... Most N4S games are sooooo easy. Im quite looking forward to this one :)

Self admitted End of Timer here

I admit to being a End of Times person. I do agree however that if the human race can extract its self out of any mess. Providing that the leadership and co-operation is there. However, as the ship is sinking there tends not to be too much leadership and co-operation. Rather the situation tends to be squabbling and selfishness.

I however shall be perfectly alright on my boat with solar panels, a large battery bank (2640AH), a generator and my log burner. Best bit is, if the heavens open and the world is flooded (a la Noah's ark) I shall be perfectly sound.... Providing the waves are no bigger than one foot....ahem....

He committed a crime. I fail to see how his lately diagnosed Aspergers makes it any less of a crime. Or indeed why he should not be be extradited to the US (whom we have an extradition treaty with).

I further fail to see how this has been dragged out over 9 years.

Some could say that this is just repeating 100 year old experiments. However Tesla was on to something and it bugged him until the day he died.

Simples

It is pretty fucking simple really. If you do not want to be sitting in the dark in 5 years time blubbing about being cold. Then we need to build more nuclear power stations five years ago.

Ah, shit - oh well I'll be alright on my boat with my solar panels and log burner.

heh

Android update? From Motorola? Really? Yeh right.

They killed it.

They have killed it, just look at the keyboard! And he glossy screen! Bastards.

Fax Machines work and are easy and simple. If I need an insurance cert or reference from a customer it is far easier for them to fax it than it is for me to logon to my email, find the file, open the PDF and then print it.

Yes, it would be possible to write a script that prints any attachment sent to fax@company.com however, why bother? When a fax machine and a decent VOIP set up is just as cheap and idiot proof. And it is being idiot proof that is the real winner for fax.

I refuse to admit that Baldurs gate is now 'antique' code. It was not that long ago. And I am not that old.

heh

Whats the point? Seriously? Everything the DVLA do over the phones can be done at the post office or online. The only real point of a phone line is to offer advice to motorists, and they are fucking hopeless at that.

Great Stuff

It all sounds very promising to myself. It is not a landgrab, it is not a conspiracy theory - hell it is not even aliens. It is a simple bit of law to enable people to report defamtory and libelous comments which will a) Either force the comments to be taken down or b) Force the person posting the comments to back up his comments in court. I do hope this will stop the the younger generations spouting so much shit. Somewhat fair in my eyes.

PS. It is not a crackdown on free speach - defamation and libel are not free speech. They are normally rather malacious comments.

PPS. It will stil be possible to say 'In my opinion Justin Bieber is a smelly cunt licker' because it is an opinion and not stated as fact.

erm

"Three, what should we conclude? That we should dumb down interfaces to baby standards?"

I thought they already had...

pld

"Creation of Jobs? #

Ohhhh... job creation, not Jobs creation.

For a moment there I thought...."

You beat me to it.

<Insert inappropriate tasteless joke about Jobs and Frankestein etc>

BUT BUT BUT BUT!

But he was a visionary! And now he's nothing but a polo neck blowing in the wind...

Look to your right, look to your left, look in front of, look behind you, infact just have a general good look around. Does the world look promising? Does it look stable? Do you still think those nutters who built Y2K fall out shelters are nutters? Well obviously they are, but a nice nuclear bunker and its own energy creation system sounds like a good idea to me right now...

Those are some nice partybags.

And?

And just who is this very old British company owned by now? Shame.

That should be enough gas to fuel Britain as we change over to Nuclear power....the resources are there gentlemen, we just need the political will!

Ha, yeh Im still laughing too.

FAO: Anon Coward (Fuck Tard)

Its the german government. I dont think they have any .gov.uk domains. I also dont think they are spending your taxes.

Graham Wilson: STFU. It is your sort of 'management' talk and utter bollocks that along with the Greens is ruining this little world of ours.

Its pretty simple, Nuclear is the ONLY realistic option at the moment for a secure supply of cheap energy. It is also the cleanest. And the safest. So what is the problem?

While we are on the topic, mass genocide of stupid people (with me of course setting the criteria) might be an idea. Alternatively we could just deport the unemployed wasters to Thailand and give them £5 a week to live on.

PS. Graham, I know we are both on the same 'side' as such, however one Great Britain once said "Short words are the best and old words when short are best of all." I also like to apply that logic to entire sentences and paragraphs. So keep it simple dude.

More over priced crap for the Arty Farty brigade to drool over, buy and never really use. I've never had a problem framing shots on my TZ10.

heh

I'll get the first post in, and ask for photos or it didnt happen?

eh?

I suppose he's also deleted at whole load of data that can prove Assanges innocence in Sweeden? You know, the files marked 'EVIDENCE THAT ASSANGE DID NOT RAPE ANY GIRL, IT WAS A HOAX JUST FOR THE LULZ OF IT!!"11!!"?!!!! !!!!! !!!'

Idiots

IBM were stupid to sell, Thinkpads are the business laptop of choice, they dont even have to try to sell them...

heh

How sick are the beatles right now? :p

erm

Free Ammo? It will ruin the game!

heh

Just think what 20 charismatic gang leaders could do to the UK if they were willing to go the whole hog. Tis the breakdown of civilisation.

heh

And we thought Facebook was bad eh?

erm

pwned! I believe is the term.

lulz!

heh

Im still advocating the use of bluewaffle.net on all condoms. It would certainly ram the message home.

Ahem

Quite a good BOFH, but lets be honest - just like bad sex, a bad bofh is still appreciated.

pft

BBC grammar standards have been falling for quite some time. It is not often that I read a BBC article without incorrect grammar.

erm

Robin Hood's or just plain trouble makers? Tis a hard one to decide isnt it?

heh

If I were your children I would start saving up to send you on a once in a lifetime trip to the Dignitas Hotel in Switzerland.

Erm?

Isnt Carmack busy writing Quake XII or Doom 15? Has he finally gotten enough money to stop releasing below par sequals?

hmm

Im keeping an eye out for the shit flavoured silver lining in this judgement.

heh

And do you think China care? They have been planning this for decades and now they are in the end phase of world domination. Long Live our Chinese Overlords!

heh

Lazyness and Plagiarism is encouraged in programming is it not?

heh

Hands up, who thinks Specific Media have over paid too?

No light?

No bloody keyboard light? Its not fit to call its self a thinkpad!

I...

I just dont care. Honestly.

indeed

The chap will indeed have more luck demonstrating that bollocks is not an offensive word, there is indeed precedent in the Virgin case. My memory seems to tell me that Branson got an English Professor in to explain to court that the word bollocks traditionally used to refer to priests whom liked to talk a bit too much in sermon. Upon the judge quering whether this would be offensive to priests the English Professor proceeded to show the court his dog collar...

He who

He who pays the piper, picks the tune.

Cnuts

Having just spent a day removing such a virus from a laptop, I feel that I should be allowed half an hour with the none volatile rubber reprogramming tool and the ring leaders in a sound proofed cell.

Hat's of to them in some respects, it must have took a lot of work to get the the scareware looking and working as it does.

heh

I gave up on Dixons, PC World et al when I went to buy a TV to be told that I was unable to take one from the store that day. If I have to wait and have it deilvered I may as well shop around and get one cheaper from elsewhere. These sort of stores are only good for 'I need it now!' kit, making us wait is silly and is cutting their own throats.

nah

No thanks, all that requires yet more electric to keep running. Altho I must admit I like the idea of the fridge being able to tell me what meals I have ingridients for... but its only a short step from that to 'add half a litre of anti-freaze and a dash of roundup' and world wide electrical appliance dommination.

Spiffing

So what happens when your phone runs out of juice? We all know smartphones can only just last a day of usage...

A MICHAEL BAY FILM!

Has anyone noticed that the quality of a Michael Bay film is directly proportional to how quickly 'A MICHAEL BAY FILM!' is said at the end of the trailer? The quicker it is said, the worse the film is.
