    Thanks Bill.

  3. Re:A question on More On IBM's Next-Gen Xbox Chipset Win · · Score: 1

    Question, is the HAL the reason that old games (that require the CD to be in the CDROM drive) why they fail to work on XP? The uber buget version of GTA for example?

  4. Re:What about today's Xbox? on More On IBM's Next-Gen Xbox Chipset Win · · Score: 1

    It runs faster on a G5? Interesting.

  6. Trilogy? on MIThril Jacket Showcases Wearable Computing · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Umm, since when was The Lord of the Rings a Trilogy?

  7. Peripheral plugs on Step-by-Step Computer Destruction · · Score: 2, Funny

    One of our users managed to plug her monitor back in the wrong way round.

    I guess that no one had told her that it's impossible to get D style plugs in upside down, so she just went ahead & did it.

  8. Re:How many platforms are in a notebook factor? on Build Your Own Computer · · Score: 1

    There were two, the STacy & the ST Book.

    The ST Book only barely made it to production though & in very limited quantities.

    Balls, read that as "please leave now for your own safety"

  10. Guide for Bristol on Mid-Air Messages To Your Mobile · · Score: 1

    A tourist guide for Bristol would be great.

    A TXT message on your phone:

    BZZT "Warning, you are now entering Hartcliffe, please now for your own safety"

    BZZT "Warning, you are now entering Easton, please now for your own safety"

    BZZT "Warning, you are now entering Barton Hill, please now for your own safety"

    ETC

  11. Re:it's not bad on Lust After The Sony Clie NZ90 · · Score: 1

    For $800, you could get 2.

  12. Re:I hope you mean OS 9 on Updated Power Macs at Apple.com · · Score: 1

    I've run XP on a P266 Laptop (Panasonic CF-45) with 96 MB RAM & a PII 233 (no name) with 128 MB.

    Both ran fine with the visual efects set to best performance.

    I had to take the laptop back to Win 98 though, cos I wanted it to be able to play full screen MPEG (which XP choked on)

  13. Re:Couple of things.. on What Lawyers Can Learn From Manga · · Score: 1

    and the comic relief is almost *ALWAYS* 3 heads tall, with his own head being 1/3 of that three.

    Well, given that he is measured in "heads" & he has one, isn't that a given?

  14. In car stereos on Pictorial Passwords · · Score: 1

    Have been doing exactly this for at least 6 years.

  15. Region 1 on Joss Whedon Is Creating a Sci-Fi Drama For Fox · · Score: 1

    Region 1 Buffy season 1 DVDs are due to be released sometime in spring 2002 in the states. By which time UK, Europe & Australia will be up to season 4 of Buffy & season 2 of Angel.

  16. Re:Joss is a Genious on Joss Whedon Is Creating a Sci-Fi Drama For Fox · · Score: 1

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer...might as well be called Fluffy the Vampire Slayer.

    Uhh, there is a Fluffy the Vampire Slayer.

    Check out Fluffy the English Vampire Slayer

  17. Not True on Swaying CPU Fans · · Score: 1

    You would only be contradicting the laws of thermodynamics if you used the power generated to power the CPU.

  18. Definitions on Hardware Suggestions for Linux IVR? · · Score: 1

    Most people are going to have some clue as to what IVR is, but you might do well to define "vertical market application service provider".

  19. Re:Not an outlook worm, an outlook express worm on Latest WinWorm Spreads Via ICQ And Outlook · · Score: 1

    There is a registry hack that restores Outlook XP to the previous level of security, I.E you have to save the exe before you can run it.

    Not sure why you would bother though, if you're expecting someone to send you an exe then just get them to zip it before sending & if you aren't expecting an exe from someone then you don't bloody run it.

  20. Re:Hopefully it's not all straight from the script on Lord of the Rings Theatrical Trailer · · Score: 1

    The poster to which you are refering to is talking about the play, not the readings. I haven't heard the readings, but Tom was indeed cut from the play.

  21. Re:Difficult on Notebook Upgrades: Hacking your Dell/Compaq/Toshiba · · Score: 1

    You can easily make replacement contact springs by cutting apart a spring bar. You know, the things that attatch the watch to it's strap.

  22. Re:Monty Python already did this. on The Funniest Joke in the World · · Score: 1

    You missed out the next 4 jokes that follow on from this one, which involve the 2nd, 3rd & 4th monkeys who repectivly fall out of the tree because they were in turn: stapled to the fist one, laughing at the second one & finally thinking it was a new game.

    The final joke is to be told at least 10 minutes after the fourth monkey one, & goes like this:

    Why did the postman fall of his bike?
    Because he got hit on the head by 4 monkeys.

  23. Re:3500 volts for a human to feel a shock? on A Hidden Threat To Handhelds · · Score: 1

    The UK phone system uses about 50 volts as a carrier & I got one hell of a belt off of the back of a winmodem the other day.

  24. Re:Uhhh, no shit. on Inability to Type Not a Disability · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Or you could try reading the article first, before bragging about how fast you can type.

  25. For the love of Peter on Are Games Turning Kids Into Jocks? · · Score: 1

    The Times is a national paper, not a local one. If you have to call it anything, call it the UK Times or something like that.
