Re: Cables

I've just replaced the cable on my USB mouse with 100% oxygen free gold plated super duper £6,000 speaker cable and I swear my mouse pointer is way more accurate than ever!

Re: I want superconductors

For that money you could get Coldplay/Rolling Stones/Whatever symphonthy orchestra round to play live in your living room which kind of defeats the purpose of reproducing sound as accurately as possible.

Re: Bonkers? oh yes.

If I ever win the Euromillons I'm buying those creepy Italian speakers and connecting them to a 1980s vintage Amstrad midi Hifi system just to piss people off for a luagh!

Re: The MS1-3D rips CDs as 320kb MP3s

Yeah before anyone starts, FLAC, which amptly named if you ask me - yeah its "in devlopmeant" for this thing - so they released a HiFi product that is only capable of playing shitty mp3 and you have to wait for an add on hahahahahahahahahahahahaha so funny. Knowing these high end audio companies the'll go bust before the add on/update is released again hahahahahahahaha.

The MS1-3D rips CDs as 320kb MP3s

Whats the bloody point then? Spending Bob Diamond levels of money of amps, speakers etc if you're going to be listening to you tunes in mp3 format! Especially when you have terrabytes of storage! jeeze!

Re: "Rory poses the question of whether Facebook's $100bn valuation can be justified."

What does facebook even do, really? It's the web equivalent of skirting boards as far as I am concerned. If they didnt exist we'd probably moan occasionally that our walls are a little scuffed but no one would be loosing any sleep over it plus you'd save on gloss paint! Same with facebook but instead of scuffed walls and paint its talking shit to people and clicking like out of politeness when really you dont give a damn that we'll miss!

Re: FailMux more like

Portsmouth TV used to have a documentary like the one I described - Damn, they even had their own kids show and a Sci-fi drama - think Doctor Who but filmed on VHS camcorders in Fareham lol I am not joking either, I must sound like the bloke who cried wolf considering what I just said does sound like the sort of jokes I normally make but some quick googling has found actuall evidence!

"What shall we watch tonight guys?..."

"Well we could watch the X Factor on ITV1, some random period drama on BBC1 that looks quite good, The Wire on Sky Thingamabob, that really cool film about that cool thing that happened on FilmFour or we could shoot some terrorists on XBOX if none of that takes your fancy!"

"I know, lets watch Basingstoke TV!!! It's bound to be good! Order a pizza guys and settle down for a fun filled night of documentaries about very old people talking about how they didn't have a toilet in their house when they were young and Powerpoint slide shows listing local job vacancies and details of church-hall coffee mornings and jumble sales!"

UK's brazen copyright land grab sneaked into Enterprise Bill

If you put the watermark text out of the way of any person's facial features in the photos then it wouldn't cut of anyone's nose!! lol

LinkOfHyrule

I'm going to upload an episode of "Top Gear" - I have no idea who owns the copyright* but I tried to find out so I will assume its an orphaned work.

*obviously bullshit

So what's the difference between this and the BBC nicking my photos off flickr and sticking them all over their news website using the same excuse?

Maybe a good precautionary measure would be to watermark all photos with the text "Daily Mail readers are all Paedophiles and the BBC kill kittens" and at least then, if they do nick the pics, they look stupid.

Just you wait, in a few years time you'll upload a video of some kittens nomming to Youtube but there will be a six month "processing" delay and a £500 fee while the video gets sent off to the BBFC for certification!

Actually what will really happen is that by then Google will have introduced a special BBFC certification algorithm which will only take a few seconds and will be free to use, but it will erroneously rate your kitten nomming film R18 due to suggestive scenes!

You just know they will try this or something like it in order to "protect" our children...

Re: I know it may be hard for you to believe given your own experiences, but bejesus, ...

Okay I am starting to come round a bit now. I have already had a few discussions with a northern mate of mine and have already discovered we have some major "cultural differences" even though I grew up on a rough estate myself down south - but I do live in Surrey now and its clearly a different country to Yorkshire let alone Scotland! I think also I was bit moodier than normal today due to ATOS being the main topic which I guess is understandable!

You could ask your GP about it too next time you go in for a fondle. Doctors and consultants are known to be very pissed off with a certain company with a masturbatory name too - they undo a lot the work the consultants do in getting their patients better with all the worry and stress they cause - you have to rememberer, the top consultants have big-ass egos, they tend to get pissy when their patients get ill cos of idiots like this messing with their work! it really gets on their tits!

And also, are you sure the computer museum doesn't happen to be the Swindon branch of PC World? I have heard rumours that their stock is so out dated that it could actually be considered museum material.

My heating is already automated

I have this thing called a 'thermostat' - its rather clever, inside it are like two different types of metal or some shit and it like expands and contacts and that causes the heating system to switch itself on and off to regulate temperature. I also have this other gizmo called a 'timer' - it enables me to completely automate my heating requirements and only requires minimal human intervention mainly when the seasons change - and all this came FREE with my house!

British Gas, you are silly sometimes expecting people pay actual money to turn a switch on and off, what are you like!

Flame because as a kid I loved those adverts you did where people clicked their fingers and flames spouted from their hands, I must say that was a good way for kids to be encourage to play with lighters imitating them, we had lots of fun doing mild arson thanks to your marketing genius!
