  1. Just launching? :O on OnLive To Launch In UK This Autumn · · Score: 1

    I've been using it in the uk for 6 months or so using virgin as my isp. Works brilliantly.
    Never bought anything though, just use it to trial things to see if they're worth buying!

  2. But... on Thorium, the Next Nuclear Fuel? · · Score: 2, Funny

    thorium? are we not on to saronite yet?

  3. Re:Bletchley Park on Geek Travel To London From the US — Tips? · · Score: 1

    Hehe, I was just about to post that.

    The early computer museum is rather ace, although lacking a few bits and pieces (lack of funding i suppose)
    Had a great time in there a few years ago, spent longer there than in the main part of bletchley park ;)

  4. Re:50:50 cost? on Proposed UK File-Sharing Laws May Be Illegal, ISPs Upset · · Score: 1

    You sir are batshi* insane.
    Please never go in to politics.

  5. Re:Dumb. on Will Your Credit Report Disqualify You For a Job? · · Score: 1

    Oh I don't know. Not everyone has that?

    I was in hospital a couple of years ago, and had to put £27,000 on my credit cards.
    I'll be paying it off for years. If I lose my job, theres no way I can pay it back until I get another job. Go figure.

  6. Re:Getting Customers to leave you alone Fridays on How Does a 9/80 Work Schedule Work Out? · · Score: 1

    Heh, we're not alllowed to do that. If we're off sick, or on holiday, we _have_ to leave our blackberries on and respond to emails/calls.

    I say this, as I'm off sick with the flu, in bed, and having to respond to several dozen emails.

  7. Re:Thankfully it won't be banned on UK Commissioner Seeks To Ban Ultrasonic Anti-Teen Device · · Score: 1

    Sadly in brixton, I'm fairly convinced at least several of the main ringleaders actually were sociopaths ;)
    Agree that in general if there had been more places for them to go, the majority of them would not have been hanging out around the shops. Perhaps I was a little speedy in deciding they would be a good idea (just listened to it, ouch)

  8. Re:Thankfully it won't be banned on UK Commissioner Seeks To Ban Ultrasonic Anti-Teen Device · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I used to live in Brixton, and was mugged on several occasions while going to the store. I'd have loved for these devices to be in place!

    Thankfully now in Cambridge, and the youths are a lot more sensible and have several parks in which to hang out away from people.

  9. Re:Not good..... on Drugs Eradicate the Need For Sleep · · Score: 4, Funny

    Nothing says "I just tossed my lunch" than being downwind from a large pack of primitive humans.

    You've been to Texas????

  10. Re:Never owned a console in my life on Will the Wii Work? · · Score: 1

    We're all gammers here!

  11. Re:Anti-Social? on Children Arrested, DNA Tested for Playing in a Tree? · · Score: 1

    If you have the volume too loud, yes you should :P

  12. Re:Ah, but then..... on Star Wars Fans in Line... at the Wrong Theater · · Score: 1

    Jarjar only has about 5 seconds of screentime in the imperial senate, where he nods sagely to Amidala thankfully. Our eyes aren't sullied too much, and at least he doesn't speak!

  13. Dodgyness on Lycos Declares War on Spam Servers · · Score: 1

    I installed this, well, tried to. It failed saying Not to install it from my windows directory. Interesting considering it was "c:\stuff"
    Shortly afterwards, windows would continually go back to the login screen after a period of about 15-20 minutes. Have just reran norton, and it detected hack.tool. I admit, its possible it didn't come from this file, but the timing just seems awfully coincidental to me.

  14. non techy magazines on What Magazines Do You Read? · · Score: 1

    I've pretty much given up on techy magazines, theres just so much free stuff on the internet that makes buying deadtree pointless. However, I do still read New Scientist, Analog, and Ride.(not porn, a motorcycle magazine :P)

  15. Re:Exactly. on Retro Gaming Gets Hot · · Score: 1

    Oh man, I loved that game. zombie apocalypse 2 was one of the reasons i upgraded my dearly beloved a500 to an a1200. stupid aga only. ;p
    i so have to download and play that later. it was public domain wasnt it?

  16. Re:Not that new on Sim City Inside The Sims - Russian Doll Effect? · · Score: 1

    that was ridge racer, could access it during the load up sequence

  17. Re:Most Violent Film ever? on Review: Blade II - Electric Boogaloo · · Score: 1

    Hm, I'd prolly say Bad Taste was the most violent movie I've seen.
    Also the funniest ;)

  18. Re:When do we get features we NEED? on Sony/Toyota Developing Car With Emotions · · Score: 1

    You want a motorbike you do. :)
    Get a cheap cg125 or something.
    i used to regularly get around 130 miles before I had to top her up.
    Perfect for commuting, especially in evil city traffic. It used to really rather annoy people in cars as I zoomed along past them.
    Top fun.

  19. Re:Color me shocked. on New ICANN TLDs Are Live · · Score: 1

    It is just you ;p
    The rest of us are reeling in shock from it.
    Honest.

  21. oh man. on Having Fun with Y2K · · Score: 1

    hehe. those are funny.. I'd never read that webpage before. But I laughed my ass off at those. I do believe my workmates thought I was having a fit. grin Thanks for that Made another boring nightshift technical support job slightly more entertaining. Beats idling on irc and reloading /. every 10 minutes anyway :P
