  1. Re:How I learned the word c**t on The Sun Misfires Against Disney Over Swear in Game · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of my neice, who upon seeing my new FCUK (French Connection UK) t-shirt on Christmas Day last year, upon misreading it proudly declared "Fuck" to the surrounding family at the dinner table.
    Man, that was an awkward moment if ever there was one!

    The article doesn't state where he bought it from, could have been from a mate down the pub or a car boot sale, who knows?

    Well, it is "top-rank" in as much as it is (depressingly) the best selling paper in the UK, but it is certainly not a top-drawer newspaper.

  4. Re:Hope they prosecute this loser... on The Sun Misfires Against Disney Over Swear in Game · · Score: 1

    Yeah The Sun does that too, bugs the hell out of me when they can't be bothered with something and invent a story saying something like "An onlooker said" or "Our insider noted that.." or some such made up nonsense like that.

  5. Re:Did he know? on The Sun Misfires Against Disney Over Swear in Game · · Score: 1

    I think you are exaggerating slightly there to say they report on "Elvis sightings and Aliens", the papers you are looking for there are the Daily Sport and the Sunday Sport.

    For anyone that doesn't know, the Sunday Sport has in the past reported amongst other things about a red double decker bus being found on the Moon!

  6. Re:They just don't get it. on Virgin's New iPod Rival · · Score: 1

    You don't _have_ to keep copies of all the songs that are on your iPod on your computer, you can if you like, but it is entirely up to you.

    By selecting to manually update your iPod (rather than using the auto-sync options) you can just drag and drop what songs you want onto your iPod using iTunes - then when you're all done with that - delete the songs from your PC, they will still remain on your iPod. No fuss!

  7. Re:Some notable GC exclusives... on GameCube's Timeline, Accomplishments Charted · · Score: 2, Informative

    Quite correct, Resident Evil 4 in fact

  8. What a fantastic idea! on Turn Your GBA Into A Game Console · · Score: 5, Funny

    Coming next: how to buy a Sony Walkman and nail it to your wall!!

    Is it just me ir is this completely missing the point!

  9. Re:You begin by asking questions on Microsoft: Because Bugs are Cool · · Score: 1

    He doesn't have to, IMHO it looks like a satirical story.

    From the Cantrip Corpus homepage:

    cantrip: (kän tRip), n. (Chiefly Scot.) 1. a magical charm or enchantment; 2. an elaborate deception or prank.
    corpus: (kôr pus), n., pl. -pora, 1. a complete set of writings; 2. a dead body.

    It doesnt need to be verified, in the same ways that this this and this don't need to be verified.

  10. Re:My fave. on 300 Episodes of the Simpsons · · Score: 1

    This one?. Me too, absolute classic.

    My absolute favourite moment (possibly ever):

    Homer borrows Ned's camcorder, and Ned invites Homer's family over for a barbecue tomorrow. Homer declines, then reconsiders...

    Homer: I'll even bring the thickest juciest T-bones you've ever seen.
    Ned: Mm mm. Sounds terrif!
    Homer: Heh, the joke's on him! I'll be dead by then!

  11. Re:Homer collects unemployment on 300 Episodes of the Simpsons · · Score: 1
    Accordins to this Conan O'Brian wrote four episodes in total.
    These were:
    • New Kid on the Block (Season 4)
    • Marge vs. the Monorail (Season 4)
    • Homer Goes to College (Season 5)
    • 'Wraparounds' from Treehouse of Horror IV (Season 5)

    ...A /. equivilent of the Monty Python four Yorkshiremen shetch.
    • First Geek: Well, I remember when all we got for Christmas were an iPod and a Christmas bonus.
    • Second Geek: You were lucky, all we got were a Christmas lunch and a bonus 50% kess than the one we got the year before.
    • Third Geek: If you were lucky!

  14. Re:jam camcorders? blargh, start with mobile fones on Camcorder Jamming Devices Announced · · Score: 1

    this is a bit of a long shot, but what the hey.

    If the film companies claims lose £Xm revenue because of people 'stealing' their films using camcorders, then this preventative measuse will mean the money they would have lost can go toward providing a better experience for you, the cinema goer, either by lowering prices or by investing more money to make better films. I appreciate there are costs involved in setting this thing up initially, but still, this only has to be done once.

    I know, the chances are slim of such things, but still possible!

  15. Re:jam camcorders? blargh, start with mobile fones on Camcorder Jamming Devices Announced · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How many times have you actually been bothered by someone with a camcorder?

    I agree with your point about banning mobile phones, but the whole point of this system is not about stopping people being 'bothered' by a camcorder, its about film companies/cinemas using this technology to protect their investment.

  16. BBC Report on Bogus Harry Potter Book In China · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The BBC also has a report about this here

  17. Re:Ronaldo is an amazing example... on World Cup Final · · Score: 1

    Absolutely right mate, and with the goal scoring record he already has (37 goals in 57 games before the World Cup), IMHO he is almost certain to replace Pele as Brazil's greatest goalscorer and maybe player of all time, unless another terrible injury strikes him down!!

  18. Re:GermMUHAHAHAHAHA on World Cup Final · · Score: 1

    Not only as a scout my friend, he actually played for them too.

  19. Re:true world champions on World Cup Final · · Score: 2, Informative

    Can we settle this once and for all, Germany automatically qualify (as hosts in 2006), Brazil don't. Read the official FIFA announcement here.

  20. Re:Transformers the Movie is a Masterpiece! on Transformers On the Move Again · · Score: 1

    okay guys, we need a robot that turns into a Telescope

    The robot you are refering to is called Perceptor,and although did transform into a telescope during the Decepicons raid on Autobot City, his main function is as a microscope. In fact his role is the lead Autobot Scientist and was in the series before the movie was written (i think)

  21. Re:Impressive on Xbox Price Drops For Australia And Europe · · Score: 1

    true, but it costs microsoft more than $200 to make an xbox. According to this article it is more like $425 per xbox. This price cut means that they are incurring an even bigger loss per unit.

  22. Ogg ogg ogg on Nomad Jukebox 3 Officially Out · · Score: 1
    For all those who are banging on about ogg here is something intresting that is mentioned in the review by T-Break.com

    "Another good thing going to the Jukebox 3 is the upgradeable firmware meaning possible support for more audio formats like Ogg Vorbis."

  23. No online warning on Sony Intentionally Crashes Customers' Computers · · Score: 1

    They say that there is a clear warning on the jewel case and so you can tell before you purchase the item that it will crash your computer. However if you try and buy it on amazon, there is no such warning. I would have thought the majority of people buying music online would be the type of person who would play their music on a pc and so they should definately know before buying it.

  24. Re:Who did the QA on the GBA? on GBA Internal Light Ready? · · Score: 1


    Nintendo actually considered the use of a some sort of lighting system, but decided against it as it would use the batteries too quickly and increase the price of the system.

    See this link for more details.

  25. Re:DVD releases? on Concerning The Cancellation of Futurama · · Score: 1


    First series already released if you are in Europe (or have a multi region DVD player). See this link for details As for a region 1 release, I dont know! OffTopic a little I know but: If anyone has this have a look at the easter eggs : on the main menu of all three discs you can select something in the background (for example on disc 1 it is a flying car is I remember right) that lets you view some spoof tv and film posters. V.Funny!
