This is the stuff...

...that crappy movies are made of.

Re: What about the rest?

OK. what these boys have done is mindless, stupid and unquestionably something that should be punished but you've obviously not thought this through in great detail.

To charge these boys (who by the sound of it attended the center for under privilaged kids) over 1,000 pounds each would probably end up with the centre getting nothing, the kids wouldn't (be able to) pay, and would eventually end up doing a 6 month stretch inside. By telling them to pay £750, a much more reasonable figure, the centre will hopefully get at least some of their money back.

OMFG. Some people are transparently stupid.

"You could say I’ve lost my faith in corporations."

This is like a six year old falling over whilst running and claiming to hate muscles.

Ok, we'll take back your internet connection, take down your blog, kill your phone signal, take back most of your possessions, stop your electricity, stop your water, don't even think about becomming ill, because you've now got no healthcare and you're banned from every mall and retail chain in the country.

Are you now ready to embrace corporations? Make a decision quickly because come winter, you'll freeze.

LIGHTENING!

We've not ruled out the possibility that a flash storm will crop up and I'll get struck by lightening.

Nor that bird flu is going to kill us all.

However we're not to advise people to stay in their homes, or not to go near chickens.

Insane pricing.

It's as if they didn't realize that an outfit like El Reg would expose this scandalous trans Atlantic pricing snafu.

I LOVE the look of the product, and I make a point of not owning an iPod (no reason except that everybody has one and its kind of cliche)

I'm just gonna get on the net and order one of these from an American retailer, I'll get a bloody good mp3 player for just under £100.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Sandisk.

Ebay!

Just imagine what the offending sabre would reach on ebay when it gets back.

Some NASA exec is going to get a nice bonus next year.

Seriously..

If this isn't classed as "Conduct unbecoming of an officer" then I'm going to join NASA and spend the entire time absolutely plastered, dressed up in a space suit, shouting incomprehensible gibberish at passers by, all the while pointing up at the sky with a frightened look on my face.

And I'll do it all with complete impunity damnit!

Re: Bullshit part 2

You sir are a fool.

Using your logic, if I was to leave my front door unlocked, anybody could legally stroll in off the street and start leafing through my girlfriend's underwear draw.

Its almost unbelievable....

I've seen less addicted crackheads than some of these Mac fanboys...

Steve Jobs could take a shit, wrap it in clingfilm, stamp iCrap on it, put it in a shiny box and people would still go queue outside shops months in advance.

All the while they'd be producing thier own artists impression of the new product and posting it on their local iShat blog. Awaiting the applause and kudos from the other worldwide fanboys.

Jobs in the meantime is laughing at you. Thats right, he's having a really good chuckle at your expense. You morons.

Some people really confuse me...

Hello, My name's Tim and I'm an idiot.

I payed £{Insert cost here, I don't know, I don't play the damn thing} to become addicted to a fantasy world to further diminish my REAL life. Thats fine. A lot of people don't have/like REAL lives.

What set me apart from the rest of the MMORPG crowd, and secures my title as the stupidest gamer on the planet, is that having paid to play this pile of pixels, I decided it would be a good idea to spend a few hours of my life researching an exploit to break what I have paid for.

Alas Tim isn't alone in this world, aparently there are a lot of mindless gamers out there.

It's like me buying a car and then tipping sugar in the gas tank, all the while wearing a T-Shirt embossed with the word: "l33t"
