Re: Bring back the stocks

I think you are heading in the right direction with this, but can I suggest a stake and a firing squad?

Re: Nostalgia ain't what it used to be

3:30? You were lucky!

Mine used to be open 9:30 to 17:00, but "improved service" by closing at 15:15.

Yes, RBS, I'm looking at you.

Cunts.

Re: Simulated?

It really only needs to "fly" for the few seconds while the rocket burns.

After that, it will just be "falling with style."

I do worry about just how fast this thing is going to go in a nose down attitude, and whether the on-board auto-pilot will be able to control it at high speed...

Icon vaguely reminiscent of a rocket exhaust.

Re: aaaaaaarrrgggggg

They already do.

You just aren't important enough to warrant doing anything about it.

Yet...

Re: Not easy to 'comment'

Milgram experiment any-one?

It's all a bit too psychopathic for my liking.

Re: Well?

I just heard a clank on my shed roof, but it might be next door's cat in his hobnail boots... Again.

@Prairie Harpy

When's the divorce?

Sorry Trevor. ;o)

Re: I have a Cyntech Pi case

What I would really love is for some bright spark to interface my Pi to my Nook Simple Touch e-ink screen via micro USB.

Go on, you know you want to. I'll buy you a pint. (Or three). :o)

Re: Simple speed boost...

<sarc>Yes Jon, that's why my original offer was a ready to boot ISO.

But thanks for your input.</sarc>

The offer stands.

Re: Job title

I used to describe myself as a Constantly Under-valued Networking Technologist.

The other guys just used the acronym!

Re: Take the test and answer honestly

Holy fuck! How many? I am shocked...

I need to have another chat with the man in a white coat.

Where's my pills?

Translated into real English ...

Bend over, and stop squealing.

There is a choice. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Re: Equally tiresome...

Aqueducts?

Re: only making 250% profit instead of the usual 300%.

But shirley, last years tech is cheaper now. And plastic cases are certainly cheaper to make than machined and poorly anodised aluminium?

Probably gone up to 350%

Re: Ask a woman who has ....

Have to agree with that sentiment. I've spoken to two women who have given birth and had gall stones, and they both said gall stones were far more painful.

Really made my day. :o)

I have numerous health problems, including having three heart attacks, but gall stones wins the "Hurts like fuck" prize by a country mile.

Like being run through with a rusty cutlass. Slowly and repeatedly.

Aaaarrrr...

Re: Bloaty?

I should imagine for supporting devices that didn't exist three years ago...

The built in wi-fi on this PC doesn't work OOTB on Ubuntu 10.04, but is auto detected and works fine on 12.04

Debian 7 support is there, Centos 6.3 works.

Only "problem" I have ever had was a Broadcom WI-fi in an old Dell laptop, but a quick prod with the Hardware Driver tool soon had it working.

Step-son had a few problems with an Alienware laptop with dual graphics cards, but that is now sorted.

Has the windows kernel not been updated in that time?

@Robert Re: Man overboard.

At least you know exactly where to look for the body.

Straight down...

Is this DanPaul.co.uk ???

Dan.

You're full of shit.

FUD off!

Re: email still works (thankfully)

Really?

Try setting up email forwarding to a gmail account, then tell me it works.

I raised this with their support team almost a year ago, and they said it will be fixed "soon"...

Still waiting.

Re: More than 100W

2.4GHz?

So, charge your phone, and stomp all over every wi-fi network in a half mile radius.

Hmmm...

Re: Too late for another?

How about...

Button

Operated

Orbital

Balloon / Ballocket

In

Extremis

System?

LAPCAT A2

That looks ominously like something that needed help from International Rescue back when I was a nipper.

Thunderbirds are go!

@Steven Raith

OI! I resemble that remark. :o)

My current Volvo was made in Belgium, much to the amusement of my best mate.

Lovely cars for the more mature commie subversive bastard. :o)

Re: tuning

Cat's whisker?

@Charlie re: icons currently disabled.

Reg has hidden them behind the not obvious enough "Add an icon" label, above the Title box.

The new work experience web monkey is probably enamoured with the VS12 grey on grey look.

And FFS Reg, pleeease put the icons back on the left where they belong.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Re: fuck streaming

I refer the honourable gentleman to http://thepiratebay.is

Other Bit-torrent sites are available.

Allegedly.

@Zola.

Thank you!

Drinky poos?

@John Gamble.

Reverse psychology. Works every time! ;o)

I was expecting "The chicken song", so not as bad as it could have been.

I've still got the tune stuck though.

Bugger!

Oh, and well done one and all!
