I guess you could delete everything first, such as your photos etc. obviously they have backups of the data but it's worth a shot.
Also, is it just me or is Facebook not as exciting as it was 18 months ago? I still go on there everyday, but I don't really do anything but read status updates.

Great, so one of the slots will be used by your Virus scanner, another by the Spyware checker leaving you with one slot left to run an app of your choice!
is that the government also wants to give everyone 2Mb broadband, which means those who can't afford broadband get it anyway, AND they don't have to pay this crappy fee.
So what makes this online FPS stand out from all the other ones?
There's Nexuiz, OpenArena, Sauerbraten, Tremulous, Urban Terror... I had my fill of first person shooters years ago and yet for some reason they're still being developed and offer little to nothing different over the last one.
I've bought a couple of games on the PSN recently and now that I'm done with them, what can I do? Here are my choices:
1. Leave it to fester on the HDD 2. Delete it
Great. What's worse is that a couple of the games I bought turned out to be shit so I can't even trade them for something different.
Make a subscription service instead if you're going to do this. Here's one way it could work:
You pay a certain amount each year and the amount you pay determines how many games you can have downloaded at a time and each game have a number of points allocated to it, so you could for example have Braid (1 point) and Bionic Commando (1 point) and Geometry Wars (1 point) or just BioShock (3 points).
When you're done with the games you can delete them to refund the points.

Why don't they use DHTML and JavaScript to simulate the 3 cups and 1 ball game? You'd start off with the ball in the middle cup and then it could mix the cups up and you have to pick the right cup. Audio would be supported too:
"Keep your eye on the ball! Follow it! Don't watch the other cups, just the one with the ball in it!"
I'm happy with my Broadband. I get between 5 and 6 Mbps all the time, which is the best I've ever had. I was with Virgin ADSL before and their service was so poor I even managed to get them to send a letter saying that they were throttling the line. Because of this I managed to get away without paying any cancellation fees, thank God.
The provider I'm with now "only" lets me download 30GB per month peak and 300GB per month off peak, which is more than enough for me since 30GB per month is about 1GB per day which I very rarely hit.
I'd much rather have a limited amount of downloads per month and a fast connection than unlimited downloads and a shit connection.
Anyone else had the misfortune of using Virgin ADSL?
So, who here from London has the misfortune of having to use Bank or Monument Stations? I'm staggered how they can fuck something like replacing an escalator up.
Just for everyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, here's the lowdown:
TFL are replacing the escalators that connect Bank and Monument stations together. How long do you think this should take? 2 weeks? 1 month? Nope, here's how long:
18 months.
18 months to replace a fucking escalator. The building opposite where I work was put up quicker than that! Meanwhile, the poor bastards who have to use the station all have to walk down a corridor that's been designed to only take a 1/4 of the volume it's experiencing now.
I love the advert projectors too, especially the one they've placed right in front of the LCD screen so you can't tell when the next train is due.

Umm, the 360 had nearly a year's head start.

It's a trap!

Can't I just fill the HDD up with random data? Doesn't that make it unrecoverable?
Plus it actually works, unlike this steaming pile of shite.
AIR refuses to install because I don't have KWallet installed (I do). And even when I get it installed, iPlayer won't let me download anything anyway.
I think it's a great idea! Mainly because I came up with it first and you stole it.
I know, I'm such a bastard aren't I? :P

Good idea? Bad idea?

I ran a script to check my broadband speed when I was with Virgin. Here's a quick overview:
8am - 4pm: Excellent speed
5pm - 6pm: Good speed
7pm: Noticeably slow
8pm: Slow
9pm - 11:30pm: Unusable, can't even get onto Google
11:31pm: Good speed*
In short, Virgin can go fuck themselves.
*No, this isn't a joke
