  1. Re:Shrove Tuesday (why the BBC ran the story then) on Pancake Physics to Cut Batter Splatter · · Score: 3, Informative
    Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent, the period of 40 days leading upto Easter where people would originally go without eating various dairy products for that period. History was that people would use up all the eggs, and milk in the house, so someone came upon the idea of making pancakes.

    I made some cracking pancakes on Tuesday, my special recipe involves grating bits of lemon and lime rind into the batter, mmmmm, that citrus flavour flows all through the pancakes, nice.

    I am not religious but it is always useful to know about as many different religions as possible as this gives you many excuses to feast, well that and setting off lots of fireworks.

  2. Buy copy protected CDs and return them on mass on Anti-Piracy Labeling Bill in Works · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why not buy said CD, return to store saying it will not work in your CD player, requesting that the store get you one without this technology. Once the stores have enough people returning these CDs to them they will start complaining to their suppliers as it will start to cost them more cash to process all of these. I hope they do start marking the CDs up this way so we can all buy and return their dodgy CDs on mass.

  3. Nintendo Teenage Robots on Speak & Spell Hacking For Fun And Profit · · Score: 1

    Our lord and master that is Alec Empire (Atari Teenage Riot fame) made a nice release a few years ago on the Digital Hardcore label. This involved butchering a gameboy and seeing what sound he could get it to make. If only more gameboy games sounded like some of the stuff created there.

  4. Re:And the server goes... Damn fast downloads on Tallest Roller Coaster in the World · · Score: 1

    Ok I was expecting the sever to be pretty much dead, but I managed to download the 8.8MB quicktime file in 1 minute 5 seconds. So all credit to the guys at Cedar Point for having a nice fast webserver too.

  5. Re:Quality, not quantity = Buy British on Internet Site Security · · Score: 1
    Yup for some strange reason BIG is seen as the way it should be in the States. In Britain our lovely publishers generally seem to understand that we like things a bit more petite. In my experience over the last 10 years through university, and into my career, is that the books published though British publishers are clear concise and to the point, and although the American texts do contain the information they are hidden away amongst the padding.

    Just my own personal experience.

  6. Junk is Important on Searching for Life's Blueprints · · Score: 1

    My girlfriend keeps telling me that I should get get rid of all that nasty computer junk in my study, and I have been resisting so far. Now I can point to the role played by these introns, to show her that getting rid of the so called junk is lethal. Nature proves ua all winners again, I can keep my lovely pcbs and stuff, girlfiends man stays alive, yup everyone is a winner.

  7. Re:Hold the phone on Fanwing Planes? · · Score: 4, Funny
    I certianly wouldnt like to get off on that, those spinny flappy things look like they could do some serious damage. You may get one good night but there certainly would not be any more.

  8. Re:interesting... on Gamecube Finally Plays GBA Games · · Score: 1
    32X rules, Star Wars Arcade anyone? Nice.

    I got a Virtual Boy about 3 years ago, going cheap as you might expect. If you are trying for comercial success a equipment that causes damage to its users is kind of dangerous. I remember the manual warning of excess use of the machine may damage your vision. That linked with most of the games forcing eye breaks every 20 minutes or so, I expect, did not instill confidence in the users. Shame more people have not played or seen the system as Red Alarm is a fantastic game. Its good to live dangerously. Ofcourse eBay always has a good number going cheap.

    Human Experimentation, musical experiments gone wrong.

  9. Re:Needs a Tuneup on Microsoft Responds to Leaked Memo · · Score: 1

    I recieved the same ad. Thought it was a joke ad from to the content of the article. On clicking it was indeed for said Visual Studio .NET I must say it is good to see DoubleClick doing a fine job in making sure that the advertisments are targetted well. Besides I am more than happy with Delphi Studio now.
