  1. Re:This documentary brought to you by Volkswagen on Online Doctor Who Documentary · · Score: 1
    The show was intended to be some kind of schedule filler that would appeal to the masses - educational and exciting for the kids, and hopefully of interest to the adults.

    The show was a BBC Drama output. They wouldn't have spent so much money on it if it was just a kids show.

  2. Re:This documentary brought to you by Volkswagen on Online Doctor Who Documentary · · Score: 1
    Actually, no it wasn't. The show was produced by the BBC Drama Department from 1963 to 1989 and was never part of the "kids department".

    And the "Design a monster" competition was run by Blue Peter, c.1968, and that WAS a kid's programme.

    Get your facts right.

  3. Re:Hitler meets Priory of Sion? on Drawing uncovered of 'Nazi Nuke' · · Score: 1
    I agree. Someone could have requested some documents from an archive a couple of months ago, planted the diagram, and waited for the furore to start in a few months or years when someone else inspected the files...

    With all the stuff thats available for Windows etc., I can't help but feel that Linux and other OSS will always be playing "catch up". When was the last time a killer app was released to OSS platforms (serious question by the way)?

  5. I wonder... on Blank Keyboard · · Score: 1
    ...if the "Uber" means "over", as in "Deutschland Uber Alles". Most people these days thinks it means "ultra". FFS!

    queuing for the new Star Wars film at a theatre you know won't be showing it. Spastics.

  7. Re:On the other hand on Hyperthreading Considered Harmful · · Score: 1
    ...and even a few years ago, even York University beat Oxford.

    Of course I'm not biased by having a DPhil (PhD to you and me) from the place.

    Don't you think you're carrying this Friday 13th theme a bit too far?

  9. A non-story on iPod Dangerous When Wet · · Score: 1
    Perhaps this should be filed under the "No shit, Sherlock" category?

  10. Re:Yeah, It's a real shocker... on Newest Star Wars Reviews Suprisingly Positive · · Score: 1
    Come off it. Thats the guy who had orgasms watching The Phantom Menace TRAILER!

  11. Spy satellites on India Launches World's First Stereo Imaging Satellite · · Score: 1
    Didn't the early US spy satellites have stereo imaging cameras on board, similar to Allied aircraft who overflew Nazi Germany in WW2 ?

  12. The BBC says.... on Librarians Fighting to Save Moore's Law Issue · · Score: 4, Informative
  13. US of A on First Successful Cell Transplant Cures Diabetes · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    I was very surprised that the Good Ol' US of A, who does everything first of course, hasn't claimed the credit.

    God bless Merka

    For CHRIST'S SAKE, WHY, every year, do we have this glut of April Fools Messages? Just about every single story on the main page is a hoax. Its like overkill for GOD'S SAKE.

    GET A FRIGGIN' LIFE AND STOP POSTING THIS SHIT!

  17. Re:Typecast... on Dr. Who Series Star Quits · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Not quite true. It is true that Troughton was reluctant to appear at UK conventions. I recall he appeared at only two- one of which was Longleat in 1983.

    However, he was more than happy to go to multiple US conventions. Makes you wonder why, eh?

  18. Re:Your parents called.... on TrekUnited Reports Mission Successful at Trek Rallies · · Score: 1
    I so agree. We've just had the tsunami. Theres famine is Africa. Poverty is rife around the world.

    ....and some people donate millions for a TV SHOW? Jesus, Get a grip!

  19. How sad on Fans Attempting to Pay for Enterprise · · Score: 1

    I would have thought, if this does happen (which I doubt), that the money could have been better spent in a charitable way.

    I couldn't see it at first, then I wiped my monitor with some kleenex I keep by for emergencies, and then...there it was!

    It would have nice if it was pointed out in advance just where we were supposed to have been looking!

    If this is true, this may trigger a resurgence in Human sexual promiscuiouty, free in the knowledge that we can do what we want. Is this morally right?

  24. Titanic on Physicists Finally Solve the Falling-Paper Problem · · Score: 1

    Funnily enough, this exact same behaviour was exhibited by a model of the Titanic when dropped into a water tank to simulate her journey to the bottom of the ocean. Maybe the equations that are described in this paper also apply to ships of several thousand tons too?

  25. Re:Someone explain to me how this is news on Bush Website Blocked Outside N. America · · Score: 1

    >What the rest of the world thinks does not matter. Too damn right. Look at the Iraq war for instance. Oh, and the steel import levvies that were to be imposed because US Jobs were threatened. And a whole host of others. Sadly we have to live with the US and its idiot president.
