Gr I couldn't move for either reading/ hearing/ seeing yet another X-Box competition. The thing I remember though is somebody saying (I'm not sure whether it's true or not) that there's a disclaimer with the X-Box saying that they accept no responsibility for injury to small children caused by it falling over - mind you from what people have said they are heavy. It's black because that's the colour of evil & of Borg cubes:o)
When they say on the back of packets - only takes twenty minutes - it'll only take twenty minutes if you have the shopping delivered to the door, have an oven that preheats instantly and someone to prepare all the ingredients for you!
:0) Oh we both thought of it at the same time - but you did less typing - ok? Anyway I just got another of my funny comments modded up to 4 so I'm happy enough now.
Yes - but this cat flap already lets the cat in automatically! What the owner has done is modify it to only let the cat in when its not carrying a dead animal in its mouth.
Well does making a platform easy to code for result in great games? Well not really - but it makes it easier to write them. Is a games console based on RedHat going to result in less crashes per a game than the PS2? Again debatable as the crashes could be down to either the OS or the game software itself.
That article is the first I've ever read that goes on for ages and yet doesn't tell you anything about the PS3! I don't think Sony will be launching the PS3 just yet anyway - judging by the gap between the PS and PS2 launch.
I think the MPAA like to call them inferior even if they're not - just to try and stop people from buying them. Then again the ones that aren't copied from DVDs - but are somebody with a small camcorder in the cinema are inferior.
From what my younger brother says (he went to uni for a while) there's plenty of pirate DVDs that can be downloaded from the web too. Are they going to close down all those as well then?

I still don't understand this - what do you mean by "needed to be programmed" - was it not sold with an OS or something?
Or a new story:
Cat door leads to increased intelligence in cats

How about :
This time our OS won't cr....
Abort, retry, or ignore?

Windows 95 is bug-free.... Then when Windows 98 came out We have fixed 7000 bugs since Windows 95 (keep going... keep going) :o)
It seems to have got modded back down to 2 - so it can't have been as funny as we thought.

The tunnels thing sounds too complicated to do in practice - couldn't the camera just move left/ right and look for any dropped animals?
& get three mod points for it?

haven't they got something better to do with their time? spring to mind.
Oh well - c'est la vie.
or even just to have a cat in the first place? :o/
Yes - but this cat flap already lets the cat in automatically! What the owner has done is modify it to only let the cat in when its not carrying a dead animal in its mouth.
The cat flap lets the cat in already (because of its collar) - what the story is about is not letting it in when its got a dead animal in its mouth.
gives the cat an electric shock & pours cold water over it if it tries to come in with a dead mouse. :o)
Yes but I'm sure you don't need *that* much hardware to do it! Have you looked at the bottom photo yet?

Consoles are designed specifically for playing games - therefore they are not the "desktops of tomorrow".

Well it makes a change to having X-box being thrown at us right left and centre (at least here in Europe anyway).
Ah... that'll be my fault for speed reading the thing - although I was sure at the time the article was different!

In related news slashdot tries to break the world record for the number of acronyms in one headline.
Yes but this kind of thing was bound to happen as the cost of DVD recording hardware (and blank media) came down & the amount of piracy went up.
From what my younger brother says (he went to uni for a while) there's plenty of pirate DVDs that can be downloaded from the web too. Are they going to close down all those as well then?
