..with no comment on quality of Talk Talk's service, so let me provide one.
It's shit.
Constantly dropped connections, impossible to understand the "help" desk, frustration in just trying to get to speak to someone, letters to management ignored.
I'm sitting here at my in-laws on their Talk Talk trying to download a 3Mb file from gmail, and getting constant "Interrupted" errors, which I never see anywhere else.
Incredibly, I've spent the morning researching switching to BT, Virgin and Sky for my in-laws to switch. Got my work done (had to send instructions to customer on how to edit the code themselves rather than upload a patched application), thought I'd read a little slashdot, and wow.. this article is top of the list. I disagree with assessment of Virgin's cable service (my provider at home; they were worse than shit as NTL), FWIW; they're WAAY better than this... this... cack.
I was having all sorts of glitches (wireless- and display- related) that eventually convinced me to downgrade to XP; before I did though, Dell remote logged in and fixed a bunch of bios & driver issues. It's like a different machine now. I think the memory usage is still annoying enough for me to downgrade as planned though.
Blind rage? Seriously? You think that the use of idioms actually represents idiocy? Let me spell it out again for you: it's a product of linguistic evolution, not a mathematical pronouncement.
Tell us more about the things that enrage you, let's see if we can spot a pattern.
QuickTime was installed (feels like it is trojan-installed, I don't WANT IT!!), and I cannot resize the window from anywhere but the lower-right corner...ARGHH!!
Slashdot Mirror
See my comment earlier in different thread; good luck.

Sure. You want fries with that?

I've used both, and prefer ShapeWriter
I try to allow for artistic license, but real computers DON'T MAKE CUTE R2D2 NOISES WHEN THEY'RE SEARCHING!
Grrrr..
Not strictly on-topic, but that felt good for me.
I thought Unity was going to be the One True Plugin for all platforms, and that games shops would focus there. I'm so naive.
Waaaaay to completely ignore how cool this is

One of the most interesting posts I ever read. You made me think about my attitudes.
I read it as "trawling" (i.e., bad spelling), but I suppose it could be cleverer than that if the poster says "M$" for "MS".
That's right, because they work on precisely one thing at a time.
No, it was not necessary. You and all the other clowns who say "somebody had to", please fuck off.

It's a contraction of "half past two", in case your indignation had left you blind to that insight.
2 microcents, surely.
You know, modding "They were from ORK" as "Informative" *could* have been a mod with a sense of humour; then again..

Mod prick of a parent down. Whether true or not, contains spoilers.
You need a project.
NO MORE "And then" !!
Huh.. a Perl necklace. Who'da thunk it.
I'm very impressed with your explanation, however much you've simplified it. Thanks!
