No, really! Check out the following link: http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/space/09/30/china.wan hu/index.html From the sounds of it, the explosion certainly sent him onto outer space, and he (most likely) flamed down in the outback......can the X-Prize be awarded post-humously?;)
Look. Just because Russell T. Davies is best known for Queer As Folk this does NOT mean Dr. Who is going to be gay all of a sudden. Well, any more gay than before. (An awful lot of Dr. Who fans are gay, and there's nothing wrong with that.)
What this does mean is that Dr. Who is going to be written by someone who is not just an excellent writer of TV drama, but also by someone who is a long-term fan of Dr. Who, and so has a a love of his material!
I so thoroughly enjoy solving programming problems that when my wife is out of town, I work 16-20 hours per day with a big smile on my face. I wake up in the morning excited because as I was waking up, I thought of an interesting solution to the problem I'd been working on. When my wife asks me, "What are you thinking about", the answer is almost always something related to the program I'm working on at the moment. In short, this isn't only what I "do", but what I would be doing even if I wasn't paid for it.
You are a very sad man. Get a life, now before it's too late...
Re:Nice office... but who is going to pay for this

I fail to see how sofas and a big telly are going to improve productivity. Decrease productivity when all the programmers hang around to watch TV when they should be working, yes.
And who the hell wants to hang out at the office!!!!??? Have these people no lives? There's something seriously wrong with anyone who doesn't get the fuck away from their workplace ASAP when their working day is done!
...if any were needed that Eric Idle does not have a single grain of talent left in his entire body. The only ex-Pythons to have done anything worthwhile in the last 20 years are Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin. In the last 10 years I'd say Terry Gilliam alone. The rest are just painfully unfunny, Cleese and Idle especially.
You just know that if Linux was involved in any way, shape or form with this device, hordes of slashdotters would be proclaiming it the greatest invention ever!
I shall laugh and not be incredibly surprised if SCO are still alive and kicking long after Damage (Who? They've done what? Oh. They don't release until next year. Right.) have bit the dust. I shall laugh even more if SCO were to be proven correct in their allegations. If that happens, I shall laugh my fucking socks off.
You're right, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the Soyuz system and I wouldn't mind one bit if NASA started buying and flying them. Damn fine spacecraft.
I agree totally, but it'll never happen for one reason alone.
Why the fuck does his family deserve your money? Tell that to his little girl, you selfish evil fucker. Adams was NOT a rich man, and that was one of the reasons which led to his premature death. Selfish Bastards like YOU make me sick.
My thought is - stuff like this should be left to corporate spending.
Bollocks. All corporate spending is interested in is a quick profit. Corporations have no vision beyond the next fiscal quarter. Corporate spending didn't put men in space, take them to the moon, or build a supersonic airliner. That was all government funded. Corporate spending can't even run a fucking train service properly...
woom, you took the words right out of my mouth. Spending loads of money on a flight sim is just too sad for words (I'll excuse them if they have some major illness, disability or a pathological fear of flying).
More people should try flying. It's cool, it's challenging, and you can actually go places without getting stuck in traffic!

No. He didn't do it again within a fortnight...

Give the man a chance, people! Wait and see....
One word. Adric. How gay was he?

When I saw the cereal box in Minority Report, my first thought was "Somebody at Kelloggs is working on that right now...".

I agree. Simpsons in 3D is just WRONG. Well, apart from that bit in one of the Treehouse of Horror episodes, anyway.

this contraption looks like something from that show Get Smart.. you remember "The Cone of Silence"?
WHAT'S THAT CHIEF?

Put Iain Banks in charge of naming spacecraft. I gather he has a big list of spaceship names he scribbles new ones in whenever he comes up with them.

Not Invented Here.
all you need is a 7 metre pipe
BIG FUCKING DIDGERIDOO!!!
I would be much more keen to have ISP's not allow systems running Microsoft Windows on their networks
So you want ISPs to go broke, then?
You stuck up snob, you.
Look at /., aintitcool, or even fark. Without the users, these sites would have little value.
What do you mean, 'would have'?
It's a box! Knowing Sony, it'll be a very nice box, and I wouldn't mind having one.
But it's a box!!!
Why the hell does ANYONE care what operating system it's running? It's a box!!!
Soon enough we will have foldable cameras, how cool would that be to fold up a camera and slip it in your pocket?
Folding pocket cameras? Old hat!
I'm not saying you wouldn't need a big pocket, though.
But I do know that Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency gave us serious proof that Douglas Adams doesn't always write good stuff
Likewise So Long And Thanks For All The Fish and Mostly Harmless, not to mention The Long Dark Tea-Time Of The Soul all of which were pretty crappy.
Danny the Street was gay more than anything else. He even talked in Palare, which I'd only heard in old BBC Radio comedies.
This is like the dog walking on its hind legs.
It's not that it's done well,
It's that it's done at all.
Except far less entertaining...

See! We told you Margaret Thatcher was an evil bitch. Sadly Tony Blair (Tory Plan B) is continuing her sad legacy...
