Express train to space, mind the gap!

Oh that's excellent.

Loved the video.

If you take your lead in life from the book of revelations

Then you have MUCH bigger problems than mere RFID tags.

Catzilla

Send in Moggra!

DNC register only goes so far

It is never going to stop the scammers and their "Your computer needs fixing" bullshit.

People BUY software from warez sites?

People who need high-end tools too?

Wow.

...and the over 50 too!

I avoid all TV as much as humanly possible.

TV long ago went to the dogs:

Cooking

Clebs

Fatties

Gardening

DIY

Social voyeurism

The only hold out from days gone by is Sport, and I don't like Sport.

China Syndrome

You play one war game, then half an hour later you need another.

5 years for copying a film!

Then how long did the directors of Avatar, Clash of the Titans, and Captain America: The First Avenger get for making the tripe?

20 years?

Lovely

Imaginative, but lovely

As one of many academically-challenged kids at school in the late 70's...

We weren't even allowed in the same room as our schools solitary 'computer'.

I have no idea what it was but I hear it was impressive.

It would seem that we were the viruses in those days.

Some extra xmas turkey?

No thanks.

No cloud?

And still it managed to rain on their parade.

Zebedee in a cave?

I always found Zebedee to be a bit dark and evil.

Dougal was my fave!

Captain Scarlet

My childhood was complete watching Capt Scarlet and Thunderbirds.

Strings? What strings?

Thanks Mr Anderson, along with Apollo, you helped make me love all things sciency and spaceage.

Webroot eh?

Ahh if only they would stop spamming me.

Is that the truth?

Or did you read it on Wikipedia?

€9M, €6M or €3M

Anyway you cut it, the tub is hideous.

Would have come in handy on the ark

It would have kept the other pairs of spiders away!

Ahhh cinemas

I remember those.

Apple in China

You'd need a pretty good map app there I guess.

But people abuse the rules now

I've observed plenty of ignorant types using all manner of PEDs during periods when crew are seated and strapped in for take off and landing.

Cameras, music players, mobiles, you name it. On a recent flight and during landing, a crew member openly allowed a nearby parent to hand hold a running portable DVD player (tray table down) so that Junior could finish watching Toy Story 2, no doubt for the 300th time.

These rules you speak of, who actually follows them?

Of course the MET don't do this

Everyone knows that on the spot fines are administered by the International Facebook Bureau (HQ in Badadministan)

Cheese

Right up there with mankind's other breakthroughs such; the use of fire, the wheel, levers, pulleys, electricity, etc

I'm sure they are just hiding from us

I'd hide from us too.

You couldn't get lost

You just couldn't.

Even here in Aus we have those big metal road sign thingies.

Sure, many have bullet holes and pellet marks from shotties.

But they're all you'd ever need if departing from a city and driving on tarmac.

The dodgy corrupt bad guys versus

The dodgy corrupt good guys.

SNAFU

Rocket Lake - land for sale

Downtown "Mildurah"' from $75,000

Ask for dodgy Pete.

QR codes

Quite Rarely?

If it looks like an ad, it's probably an ad.

Irish moon mission

They go there for the craic!

Like exoplanet news?

There's an app for that:

"exoplanets"

(No affiliation)

Where's the life?

There was supposed to be earth shattering news about life!

Sorry Jules

You lost me at the conspiracy theory bit, pretty much all of it really.

From injection mould to watery grave

Alas, what price the advancement of science?

FIP

Float in peace

Dear Mr Pope

This god thing, seriously?

#skyfairies

Let the (new) ownage begin

Personally, I wouldn't touch FB with a borrowed barge pole.

But what were users expecting when they placed personal data on a commercialised social network site?

Democracy? Privacy? Respect?

I have a no junk policy

well. maybe a bit of old hardware, oh and some redundant software, and then there's those iOmega zip disks.....

Interesting advert placement with story

Right next to this article was an advert that stated:

"Do more with the next-generation servers from Dell"...

The bottom boggles!

I'll wait for a while thanks

Going by past updates to iTunes for Win, it's wise to stay behind the bleeding edge.

Carry on

Rich men make rules that rich men don't need to follow.

Status quo restored, now back to your cubicles.

Stink-o-rama?

I've sat next to a family eating take-away McDonalds on a plane.

The reek was unbelievable.

Even worse than the nastiest airline food.

Even Indian Airlines.

Don't encourage them.

Science eh?

It just keeps on giving and giving...wow!

The standard model?

Nah, I think I'll wait until the deluxe model comes out.
