  1. Re:So many channels so little time. on BBC Discusses PVR Software, Creative Archive Plans · · Score: 1

    I preferred it on the radio - they really are an ugly bunch of bastards.

  2. Attack of the Mutant Camels! on Minter on the History of Llamasoft · · Score: 5, Funny

    What a fucking brilliant game - man those missiles got difficult to dodge as the levels counted up! I must have worn out 3 QuickShot 2s on that bad mofo.

  3. Re:The TV licence fee and the BBC on BBC Discusses PVR Software, Creative Archive Plans · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What a cretinous line of reasoning.

    So - without the BBC we would all be free to "choose" to watch all of the wonderful American crap on Sky, the lowest common denominator pop-idol crap on ITV or the absolutely top-notch house-buying and top tens content that they have on Channel 4. And then there's the radio, with no more Radio 4 we would all be free to choose to listen to Virgin, Capital Gold and News Talk - all complete and utter shite.

    What a wonderful vision of British broadcasting the way it could be!

    Not any more - the whole of News 24 seems to been equipped with brand-new Dell laptops, even though they're STILL editing their fucking News content on BetaSP!!

  5. Re:So many channels so little time. on BBC Discusses PVR Software, Creative Archive Plans · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That is ridiculous. Sky costs a minmum of 18.50UKP per month now, and offers - essentially - Sky One, UKGold and Paramount for that outlay, none of which have any native original programming of any quality. No matter how bad you think the BBCs output is, surely it's better than the ZERO output you get from the satellite channels?

    And, 2 channels from the BBC?

    TV channels: BBC1, BBC2, BBC3, BBC4, BBC News 24, BBC Parliament, CBBC, CBeebies.

    Radio channels: R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 Live, R6 Music, BBC7, 1Xtra, Asian network and BBC World Service.

    In addition to all of this stuff that you CAN receive as a Sky Digital subscriber, there are the BBCs various local radio and TV programmes and their huge WWW site.

    So stop writing such unadulterated bollocks.

    I couldn't agree more. In fact, not only is Dead Ringers Dead unfunny on TV, but Little Britain suffers greatly in translation too. Come to think of it, has there EVER been a comedy transplant from R4 to TV that has benefitted from the change.

    TV Knowing Me, Knowing You had it's moments, but the R4 version was still better.

    Why not get a Sky Digital reciever, then?

  8. Re:Professor iPod? on Professor iPod Discusses Device's Social Impact · · Score: 1

    I had - and still have - a Sony Gold Walkman. It doesn't get much more exclusive than that, baby.

    Buttload?

    And how many mp3s is that?

  10. Re:The real Budweiser... on BudNet Tracks Your Suds · · Score: 0

    Seriously? That's absolutely the most fucked up thing I've ever heard - isn't Budweiser so-called because it's brewed in Budweis?

    Or am I tripping again?

  11. Re:Give me an Arrogant Bastard Ale any day.. on BudNet Tracks Your Suds · · Score: 1, Funny

    This is only possible because you're a witless fucker whose entire conversational repertoire barely extends beyond endlessly discussing the relative merits of Star Trek: Deep Space 9 and Babylon 5.

    Why not nail some smoked bacon to your living room wall, it may provide another "funny conversation piece" for you to bludgeon your unwitting guests with when they come round to read your gas meter.

    ...unless you buy in a supermarket and use your "loyalty" card.

    Imagine how awful it'd be if you ever managed to fuck a REAL person!

    Oh, the horror!

  14. Re:Porn is the killer app. on 3D Display, No Glasses Required · · Score: 0

    I HAVE a girlfriend, and she's only 30 years old - back of the net!

  15. Re:Not 3D, 2.5D stereoscopic on 3D Display, No Glasses Required · · Score: 0

    20 years and still no product? What's his problem?

  16. Re:Porn is the killer app. on 3D Display, No Glasses Required · · Score: 1

    No it isn't, coz you can hire a REAL LAPDANCER for a hell of a lot less than one of these devices would cost.

    And have you ever considered just getting a girlfriend?

  17. Re:Not 3D, 2.5D stereoscopic on 3D Display, No Glasses Required · · Score: 4, Informative

    Informative? How can 24 discrete views POSSIBLY be called stereoscopic? This is an interesting technique that could allow for 3D video conferencing if scaled up sufficiently, though I doubt it would ever make sense for dramatic enetertainment.

  18. Re:It's going to blow on New Cast Information For 'Hitchhiker's' Movie · · Score: 1

    I didn't accuse him - that woman he and his friend raped did THAT.

  19. Re:Would it be cheaper? on Eminem Sues Apple for Sampling his Samples · · Score: 3, Funny

    Eminem rules? Who told you that? The world is REALLY ruled by those crazy lizard people who run the oil companies, set up Israel and all that shit. I think they're called the illuminati or something.

  20. Amen on One more G4 for the PowerBook? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Anyway, any self-respecting MacGeek knows that you can predict Apple's product release schedule about as well as you can predict the moods of a pregnant woman.

    Your spelling compromised what was otherwise quite a good joke.

    Shame on you.

    The details of the case were extremely seedy, he's obviously a fucking scumbag.

    If they make these pens look like crystals, we can start living it up in out own personal fortresses of solitude!

  24. Re:What's Important on New Cast Information For 'Hitchhiker's' Movie · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Hollywood depends on idiots like you. You consistently go and see films that you don' t want to see. Have you ever thought about voting with your wallet?

  25. Re:PLEASE NOT MOVED TO AMERICA on New Cast Information For 'Hitchhiker's' Movie · · Score: 0

    High Fidelity could hardly have got WORSE though, could it? It was the most embarrasingly crap book I've ever read.

    NEVER read a bestseller. That includes the Bible, which is irreconcilably shit.
