  1. Re:Can Anyone Help Me? on First Impressions Count in Website Design · · Score: 4, Funny

    I had a quick search and found a few articles you may be interested in:

    First Impressions Count in Website Design
    Web Users Judge Sites in the Blink of an Eye
    Web Users Judge Sites Instantly

    Hope that helps.

  2. Re:SCA on 20 Years of Computer Viruses · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yes, I was going to post about SCA. I very nearly crapped myself when I first saw the "Something wonderful has happened" message.

    The little bastard used to reside in RAM between warm reboots, and only manifested itself on every 15th boot, so you never knew quite when or where it was going to strike.

    Pretty cool though, in hindsight!

  3. Re:dont make me laugth on 'The IT Crowd' UK Sit-com · · Score: 1
    We all know it will be the typical "let's laugth at the nerds" jokes.

    I doubt it, to be honest. If it's anything like Graham Linehan's other work, it'll just be completely and utterly surreal.

    Tech support will just be a vehicle for totally bizarre jokes.

  4. To quote Ted... on 'The IT Crowd' UK Sit-com · · Score: 3, Funny
    Just out of interest, did you complain that Father Ted didn't accurately reflect the teachings of the Catholic Church?

    "That's the great thing about Catholicism. It's so vague and nobody really knows what it's all about."

  5. Re:What would happen.. on Slowly Pulling Facts from Black Holes · · Score: 4, Informative
    Or would they actually be destroyed by some force inside the hole itself?

    Have a read about Spaghettification.

    The scientific issues, however, remain much less settled than Dr. Hawking's celebrated wager on the question.

    Um, I think he's a Professor.

  7. misco.co.uk on Equipment Suppliers You Can Trust? · · Score: 1

    I've had good experience with Misco, and I'd definitely recommend them if you're in the UK. Every time I've ordered from them, they've got it to me the next day. Even when I only pay for the 3-day delivery!

  8. Re:One Word - NewtonX on Macworld to Bring Updates to Laptop Lines? · · Score: 0

    Does it come with a pony?

  9. Re:Link? on Windows, Linux 25 Year Old "Clunkers"? · · Score: 1
    *: AmigaOS had this capability from day one, but a lack of advertising means I'm unaware of this fact.

    It's so cool. With OS4, you just need to drop unicorn_sasquatch.library into Libs, and automatically, all your apps are Video Internet ready.

    All we need now is some hardware to run it on.

  10. Re:Get a sense of proportion on Grokster Launches Fear Campaign · · Score: 1

    Once again, a bash.org quote is appropriate:

    <a_passerby> but i dont listen to funk music

    He later ended up writing a Sci-Fi clone of it called BSS Jane Seymour IIRC for the Amiga.

    Wow. Tell your friend that I thought that game was great! I used to love playing it. It was easily as good as Dungeon Master.

    Eventually my disk got corrupted though, which was a shame.

    You kids and your One Point Twenty-One JiggaBytes of hard drive space. My first computer was a Sinclair ZX81 with 1KB of RAM.

    The software that came with it was code in a book for christ's sake! :)

    You forgot "Uh-huh!", "Like that!", and "That's right!"

    Yep, I think that pretty much covers it.

    I remember reading on a misheard lyrics website a few years ago, that someone misheard the lyrics to Smoke on the Water as:

    "Slow Motion Walter, the fire engine guy."

    I think he means that computer systems with three cpu cores are more likely to be hit by proton torpedoes than systems with one.

    No, that's a Sony CD.

  25. Keys on Wasps Better Than Dogs At Sniffing Out Bombs · · Score: 3, Funny

    My first thought was that I could train wasps to find my keys. After consideration, I think my keys may smell rather similar to the pocket I usually keep them in, which is in my jeans, next to my groin.

    The last thing I need is a groin full of wasps.
