  1. Re:Touchscreen?? on Asus Launches Touchscreen Eee Desktop · · Score: 1

    You got me :^D,

    how about:

    Colman's English Mustard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colmans to that vinegary gloop, French's, you cover a hot-dog with ;-)

    In a strange twist of fate, French's is now owned by the company that used to own Colman's.

    Heh.

    Comparable to soy sauce as Orange marmelade is to Strawberry jam :-)

    Marmite spread over Spam makes Spam almost palatable..

    Disclaimer: I said "almost" :-)

  3. Re:Touchscreen?? on Asus Launches Touchscreen Eee Desktop · · Score: 1

    Soy sauce equivalent?

    No soy I'm afraid, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite

    I recommend it :-)

    My point exactly, and it's even worse when you have to sit at the desk previously occupied by someone with a predilection for jammy doughnuts and a nasty habit of running their fingers over the screen. :-(

  5. Touchscreen?? on Asus Launches Touchscreen Eee Desktop · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why oh why would anyone want a touchscreen? It's hard enough to make out stuff on my flat screen, through the greasy fingerprints, as it is. (Have to hot-desk)

    It would be even worse after Marmite on toast :-)

  6. Re:Is the new case going to be more durable? on Apple Announces New MacBook, Pro, Air · · Score: 1

    it is just that every disk inserted and ejected gets a scratch on it now

    Go to your local hardware store, buy a Riffler file (or a diamond file if they don't have a Riffler) and work on the bent bit of casing until it doesn't obstruct. Job jobbed :-)

    1. Buy file
    2. Remove obstruction
    3. Don't spend $610
    4. ...
    5. Profit

    You really need to get out more.

  8. Maybe he's in a gas station on How Mobile Phones Work Behind the Scenes · · Score: 1

    or on an aeroplane, or in a hospital. Whichever, that's the shortest time from an article being posted, to a /.'ing I've seen in an age.

  9. Re:All this sounds nice, but there's another side. on Ford To Introduce Restrictive Car Keys For Parents · · Score: 1

    because he couldn't get out of the way.

    Of what?

  10. LEGO on Microsoft Programming Contest Hacked and Defaced · · Score: 1

    Since production started (of modern ABS bricks) it's estimated total production has only reached 350 billion.

    Now put your $850 billion dollars in context, if it was in $1 bills, how long would it take to print the little buggers. :-)

  11. XBox for rewriting calc on Microsoft Programming Contest Hacked and Defaced · · Score: 5, Funny

    Nobody wants an XBox that badly do they? :-)

  12. Boone's Farm??!? on Ultrasound Machine Ages Wine · · Score: 1

    That's not even worthy of being called a bloody "Alco-pop".

    A brew for the discerning chav perhaps.

  13. Good on you bub! on Google To Fund Ideas That Will Change the World · · Score: 1

    Please keep me posted on all of "your" work then.

    So I can see how much prize/benefit you've reaped.

    My guess: You can't program for toffee. Oh wait, this is /.

  14. Bit of a stab at Microshaft in TFA on Has Google Redefined Beta? · · Score: 1

    Rather than the packaged, stagnant software of decades past

    I rather like that :-)

  15. Re:Oh WEEE Oh... Oh WAAHHHHHH Oh... on Apple Censors App Store Rejection Notices · · Score: 1

    I thought Apple's main goals were to innovate and empower the people

    "innovate"?, when have Apple "innovated" in the past? I thought they just nicked someone elses idea and tarted it up to look shiny!

  16. Or not. on Saturn's Rings May Be Very Old · · Score: 1
    The article seems to contradict itself:

    The origin and age of Saturns rings has been a riddle for decades, notes Jeff Cuzzi of NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif. He notes that the gravitational interactions between particles in Saturns A ring and adjacent moons would transfer momentum from the rings to the moons, pushing the moons outward and slowing down the ring particles. If the rings were really as old as Esposito suggests, then the moons would be much farther away than they are and the A ring would have fallen into the B ring, he says.

  17. Thanks Ubergrendle on Microsoft To Buy Back $40bn of Its Shares · · Score: 1

    I have an answer I can understand.

    However, $40bn is an awful lot of moolah, couldn't they improve shareholder value in some other more productive, or revenue generating way?

  18. Why do companies do this? on Microsoft To Buy Back $40bn of Its Shares · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why not spend $40bn on other stock.

    Doesn't make sense to me, come on you stockmarket guys, explain the rationale.

    Never used a mac, never want to. However you, Sir, should get a life. Nobody will reply to your post because of your low UID. So I will, and I say to you: "bollocks". Come back when you've achieved something comparable.

  25. Re:Is it really? on O'Reilly On How Copyright Got To Its Current State · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Infringement cases are increasing because of the continual copyright term extensions.

    Bah.
