That someone imported into Australia, interesting device. Not sure I'm interested in it though.
There's a bit of scope in the market for software giants to chip into this.
gPhone - Targetting non-evil people, has 11 buttons, 0-9 and a "dial/hangup/camera/gps/play music/search" button MSPhone - Steve Ballmer made one for himself out of a tennis racket, twine and bleach, bundled with a left over Zune to provide fully functioning WMA support. jPhone (I know a lot of phones run java already) - You get two phones, a client phone which makes all the calls, and a larger server phone which does all the connecting to the towers. You can upgrade to a 3-tier mobile phone system, using mochaFrappeLite. Bundled with a free tweed jacket with leather patches.
Couldn't he have gone to the local fairground and used one of those cyclotron things where you get stuck to the side of a giant drum? Take the people out, fill it with sodium. Or one of those candy sugar spinny things that makes clouds on a stick? They're awesome. Science is awesome and has lots of sugar. Wait, salt is sodium chloride, he could make candy floss out of salt? What has science done!
Do you think GWB has admin rights on his PC? As a system administrator, would you have the guts to remove sol.exe? If you did, would it be a unilateral decision?
Just imagine, sol.exe could be the only thing to stop GWB from getting bored enough to push the Big Red Button.
Aren't the old windmill pumps still around? Can they devise some kind of generator that could use the spare turns from them into a little bit of electricity? I think some of those things have been around for quite a long time...
One of our sales guys was having problems with his XP pro install, IE bit the dust and wouldn't show images, even the images in the about box for the application. He asked me if there was any decent alternatives to any of this stuff and I mentioned Ubuntu, but with a level of hesitation (becoming his technical support person for the next 6 months didn't appeal to me) I stated that it had some parts which were a little on the technical side and that he couldn't expect everything to work out of the box. It was a 3 year old laptop. Overnight he found the ubuntu site, downloaded the 7.10 ISO and did a full install (after backing everything up). Came in the next day, put the thing on my desk and showed me it running, including using his accounting package under WINE, his printer and scanner installation. I was thoroughly impressed, with the only question he had was how to setup his PCMCIA NextG Telstra card, about 10 minutes installation time. He had even converted his mail from Outlook to Evolution. After this, I have much more confidence in recommending Ubuntu to people who are used to using something else on a regular daily basis. Before this I'd usually install this stuff for other people I knew, get it going and leave them to it, no more virus or spyware phone calls. Nice work Canonical.

Which also means we have to setup a TTLD system, a Top-Top Level Domain inter-planetary domain name system, with a 25 light year time to live value.
Dr Who: Wait, where did you get duct tape and four lizard legs? This is like a gajillion BC. Dawkins: I brought the legs with me, I found the duct tape here. Who knew?
I lived in Amesbury for a short while (I'd say a stonesthrow away from Stonehenge), Avebury circle is much more interesting, plus it has a pub in the middle with a haunted well. After getting drunk, you can stagger down the road to Silbury hill and fall asleep at the top.
If they have their own reincarnation thing going for them, how do I know that I haven't signed this contract in a past life? Maybe I'm already a member of the COS without knowing it. Surely I don't have to sign it again? Wait, what's signing this contract? My physical body, or this other crap they're talking about?
I guess there's no sunset on this one either. A billion years at sea. The intergalactic equivalent of a press-gang. I'm no fool, I'm not signing that, or may Xenu strike me down with a lightning bolt...
When I stubbed my toe the other day in front of my 2 1/2 year old, it was more like a quarry. Didn't have to dig far for something interesting to learn there...

My cubicle is a steady 23C, hell certainly hasn't frozen over yet.

Microsoft USB 128Mb memory stick to remind me who they once were.
Someone who made a 128Mb memory stick that I don't use.
It's not the size, it's what you do with it that counts.

It's where the tea and biscuits are.
Getting mugged by a harpoon weilding, cowry shell demanding aquatic gang member. Insane.
Mod points are like scissors, they're never around when you need them.

The last thing you need is to be sat in the middle seat between two really fat slaves...
They probably had more leg room on those ship than we do in cattle class now. And I bet they could take fluids on board too.

Is that once they switch it on, you don't have to be there to see what it does...
Split it into even filegroups, china1 through china8

He's finally transformed into Henry Rollins, I always thought he was a skinny guy until I saw a recent photo.
If he did his research using a Mac, he'd be an [R]iSearcher

This happened over the weekend, it's called a Dutch Oven. If you stick the covers over your head while you do it, you can simulate a wormhole.
