  1. Re:How long before... on Walking Animatronic Dinosaur At Disney Park · · Score: 1

    BAR-BU-RAH!!!!

  2. Re:of course you could just drive properly... on UK to Put Monitors in Every Car? · · Score: 1

    It would be great if you could make it a car free place but have you seen the price of trains we have over here. Its highway robbery. You'd have to make cars so ridiculously expensive.

  3. Re:DeBeers has nothing to worry about on Diamonds & the RIAA · · Score: 1

    Any woman who leaves you because you bought her a fake diamond should be shown the door anyway. What a shallow bitch. Besides how can they be called fake. A diamond is an arrangment of carbon atoms not the way they are created.

  4. I wonder if its ever been said on Big Company on Campus · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome our new Microsoft overlords. And I would like to remind them that as a professor of CS I would be invaluable in rounding up Linux users!

  5. You'd think on Big Company on Campus · · Score: 1

    Microsoft's total research and development budget -- $4.7 billion in 2003, $4.3 billion in 2002 and $4.4 billion in 2001 -- is estimated to be more than all the rest of the software industry spends together

    You'd think with all that money going into R & D they'd be able to produce a secure and stable OS.

  6. Harmonise on Australian Court Doubles CD Importers' Fines · · Score: 1

    I always thought that meant changing them both to be the same thing not us adopting US laws.

  7. So.. on Japanese Deploying Powered Exoskeletons for Elderly · · Score: 1

    when are they changing the name to Neo-Tokyo!!

  8. Re:IS there on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 1

    Ok sweet. Thanks but does it run on windows. im stuck with it here at work.

  9. Re:IS there on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 1

    your right. Its friday forgive me. Sweet!!!

  10. In other news on RIAA/MPAA vs. xMule Author, EarthStation 5 · · Score: 1

    The offices of the developers of Earthstation 5 were destroyed today by the Israeli army. Ariel Sharon, PM of Israel applauded the destruction saying they were harbouring terrorists. The intellegence was provided by Hilary Rosen an analyst in the US government.

  11. How about on Control the Camera on Mars Global Surveyor · · Score: 4, Funny

    Night side. Have the probe turned off. Then suddenly power it up and take a photo with a big flash. That should catch those Martians off gaurd.

    A bit silly I know!!!

  12. IS there on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 1

    a replacement that is compatiable with all the mains ones ie ICQ, MSN, AIM, Yahoo etc. That would be pretty sweat. Instead of having to use 3 to chat to all my various mates I could use 1

  13. ITs this on Gaim Speaks Out on MSN Ban · · Score: 1

    anti-competitive. I would have thought this would have been illegal.

  14. This will work..... on SCO Prepares To Sue Linux End Users · · Score: 1

    as well as the RIAA sueing its customers!!!

  15. How about ehy just plain sucked!! on Movie Industry Blames Texting for Bad Box Office · · Score: 1

    The studios these days have it all wrong. Why does every movie have to be mega blockbuster costing 100 mill to make. What happened to B movies. The 80s for me was the height of Hollywood. All the classics were made then. Plus there were so many B movies, especially horror, made then. They need to start funding small budget unknown movies. GIve people a choice. I was recently going to goto the cinema but all the ahd on in 10 screens was 3 movies. Annoying. Same at the video store. THey have 10000 copies of the big movie and none of the olds ones. Get it sorted.

  16. Re:Guinness on Five-second Pints · · Score: 1

    In oz you can't pour our beers as fast. They are lagers but they foam up heaps if you pour them wrong. I have worked in bars here in the UK and sometimes u can put the glass down on the drip tray and turn the tap on. result amazingly is no head. Do that in oz and you'd get a glass full of foam.

  17. Re:onto surgical procedures... on Five-second Pints · · Score: 1

    The amazing thing is I went on saturday to the pub he actually did that in Oxford. And that was 2.5 pints (or a yard glass) of english ale. Go the Oz PM (former)!!!

  18. Re:Too cold!----NEVER!!! on Five-second Pints · · Score: 1

    Just before frozen is the perfect temp for beer. I am talking lager type beers not ales, stouts etc which i don't drink anyway.

  19. Re:Ah.... I think bars in Amsterdam... on Five-second Pints · · Score: 1

    I agree. I prefer to much head to to little. I do think the dutch go a little over board though. I think 3-4cm is perfect. The brits need to learn that head keeps the beer cold and stops it going flat.

  20. Re:Who cares how fast when it's Coors? on Five-second Pints · · Score: 1

    Carling I think would have to be one of the better british beers (yes ok lagers) at least they realise that beer should be cold.

  21. The most important bit of info on Five-second Pints · · Score: 1

    Being an Aussie living in the UK the most important bit of info is that the beer will be served at 2 degrees. Finally cold beer. Its true what the say about the British and warm beer. Bring it on!!!

  22. Excellent on Microsoft wants Automatic Update for Windows · · Score: 1

    so when a bad patch comes out all the windows pcs in the world will simultaneously crash. I hope its an opt in thing. When you first start your pcs it can ask yes or no. Regular joe can press ok but others can no and do it manually.

  23. So... on Optical Recognition System To Foil Card Counting? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    what we need is some glasses that can read the special ink and then we can win everytime.

  24. Nooo... on Apple's School Days are Numbered · · Score: 1

    My first contact with a computer was with an apple 2 at my primary school. They were easy to use and stable. Now we will be spoon feeding our children straight into the borg machine. I'm sure most of the kids have pcs at home so its good for them to use another os and realise there is more out there.

  25. Great on Stimulated Gamma Decay Weapons · · Score: 1

    Just what we need more new weapons. Isn't the US army powerfull enough. Nothing can stop them at the moment. Never in history has one army had such a command over the others. Stick to conventional weapons. We don't need toxic stuff lying around for thousands of years. And again this isn't going to stop terrorists.
