It's actually a song written by the Legendary Stardust Cowboy (the inspiration for the Ziggy Stardust character), Bowie covered it for his Heathen album.
I'd be surprised if many of them are even aware that uk.youtube.com exists - most people I come across seem to believe that every URL has to begin with "www.", so they don't automatically think they need to add "uk." to the start of "youtube.com"
I know plenty of people that don't use the address bar at all, they Google for every website (other than those in their bookmarks) even when they know the full URL.
Only the other day I wanted to show a friend of mine a beta of a new website for a record label we liked, as the site is only in beta it's not indexed - I read out the URL and he proceeded to type it into the Google search box, I questioned this and he said that that's what he always does. He then couldn't get his head round the fact that the URL I gave him found no hits in Google, so I had to type if for him into the address bar - he really couldn't grasp that if you're going to type the full URL (regardless of whether or not it's indexed by Google) it's quicker to type it into the address bar.
Not from what I've found - I regularly rebuild HP 'Business Desktops' using any HP XP Pro disc I have around - it always asks me straight away to insert the HP Restore disc 'to prove that you are licensed to do this', but it'll seemingly accept any HP Restore disc - it just checks the disc and then asks for the OS disc again
Having read TFA (I must be new here), the only comment is from EMI - it looks like that EMI were previously going along with the band's wishes to only distribute in album format, but now that they've seen Radiohead release the new album unbundled they've decided that it's fair game to do the same for the old ones, I doubt the band themselves have had any say in it at all.
That reminds me of a line from a movie: "What we have here is a failure to communicate." That was Cool Hand Luke, it's sampled at the beginning of the Guns N' Roses track Civil War.
How long until one of these monkeys kills the scientists with his robotic arm, in retaliation for them removing his perfectly good arm? If they keep interrupting me whilst I'm trying to post on/. , then not much longer....
Either you own your own credit card company (in which case may I recommend you get one of your minions to go pick up the album in physical format if you want it), or what you meant to say was "Metallica would be paying the credit card company for me to download their CD."
The BBC comdey panel show Have I Got News For You has a regular "Missing Words" feature whereby the panel have to guess the missing words from a headline in "this week's guest publication", being always a completely obscure magazine - iirc the most recent one was something like 'Onion Lovers Weekly', and there was also this one
2 - The iPhone/iPod touch updates......Instead we see a few lousy software upgrades you clearly overlooked the part about the revolutionary features like "text message multiple people in one message"; and "customize their home screen", those being features available to pretty much every other mobile phone manufactured in the last five years....
Right now I use Outlook at work, and Thunderbird or Evolution at home (depending on whether I'm on my XP or Linux install) - with these I have my mail sorted by date, so that any mail that comes in is right at the top, I then read that mail. If I ever need to go back to that mail, if I remember when it came in I scroll down to the date and there it is, if I don't I type something in the search box at the top and it nine out of ten times finds it almost instantly. On the rare occasion that it doesn't find it I click the sort option and change it to 'From' and scroll down to whoever sent me the mail, et voila, there's the mail. Remind me why Yahoo need to reinvent how I sort my mail again?
They could not raise enough money, or it was just a publicity stunt; who knows. The very article you linked to explains the real reason - Sealand did not want to sell to TPB, I know it's only a wiki article but you can also read the same on the official Sealand News site: http://www.sealandnews.com/pirate-bay-to-stay-in-sweden_13.html#more-13
right underneath the story titled 'Paramount to Drop HD DVD?', I see a great big advert proclaiming 'The future is Blu.... visit bluraydisc.com' - nice one!
and only has the bare minimum time to get through security and onto the plane. Then that person should have been more organised and got themselves to the airport in good time. In the UK we have several reality TV shows focusing on airports and airlines - the major subject of these shows is invariably people having a pop at the check-in staff for not letting them on the flight that they've failed to arrive on time for. As far as I'm concerned, if you can't be arsed to plan your trip to the airport so that you get there well within the allotted time for flying then you shouldn't be booking that flight.
It earned me a bottle of Jamesons this morning for doing the same thing for a friend of mine - I too had the same problems with some of the Sky pages - no 404 or any other error, just a blank page which took several refreshes before it turned into an actual page. My friend had phoned Sky several times, one of which they were told that mail wasn't anything to do with them any more and to phone Google instead!
You're forgetting work experience (or Trident or whatever it is we're calling it here in the UK now), I can see it now:
Work Experience Advert:
"Come see what it's like working for Google!"
Teenage geek thinks to himself:
"Hmmm, sounds interesting, and it might get me a foot in the door at Google once I finish school"
First day, Google work experience farm:
"Right then kidlings, here are your PCs, this is the blur button, here's 10thousand Google Street View photos with faces in, see you in a fortnight"
26 here also, don't really remember the games I used to play on C64 (although, was Dizzy on C64 or did that come later?), mainly because most of them used to fail after 45mins of loading the tape!
I do, however, have extremely fond memories of waking my folks up at stupid-o-clock on a Sat/Sun morning to show them my latest "creation" which I'd spent hours typing the code up for by copying it out of a magazine.... those were the days!
My fondest Commodore memories though are reserved for the Amiga, I had a 500+ and SWOS still remains my favourite game of all time, bar none.
Yeah, that figures, it's from all the Radio1-listening/Q Magazine-reading sheep at the gig humming along to the bland-but-hummable music churned out from the last year's crop of drivel-producing bands like The View, The Automatic, The Killers, The Feeling etc - in fact the only thing that seperates Arctic Monkeys is that their name doesn't begin with 'The'....
That's an Imperial assload; it's only used in Britain. It's equal to 1.24 U.S. assloads. Your figures are incorrect, the comparative sizes of arse/asses between the two nations means that there are in fact 1.6 UK arseloads to every US assload.

No, the purpose of a cinema is to sell popcorn. It's actually quite the opposite of karma whoring.
In the UK it isn't

HP do lock the OEM software to certain versions.

Nope, I give in, you've lost me....
