    Red Dwarf (the book) went one worse...

    "For anyone living on Earth the result would be mind-fizzingly spectacular. One hundred and twenty-eight stars would appear to go supernova simultaneously, burning with such ferocity they would be visible even in daylight.

    "And the 128 supernovae would spell out a message.

  9. Re:Full screen editors rock on The Command Line - Best Newbie Interface? · · Score: 1
    You may jest, but on the ZX Spectrum all the commands were printed on the keyboard which made exploration a bit easier.

  15. Re:voting on CNN Reports on Diebold · · Score: 1
    In the UK neither an ID or a ballot card is required to vote. Therefore it is quite easy to steal someone else's vote at the polling station.

    Each ballot paper has a serial no. When the ballot is issued, the serial no. is recorded against the voter no. If someone has stolen your vote, then you can vote on a pink ballot paper, which is not initially counted, but allows the result to be corrected later if there was a significant amount of fraud.

    There have also been some major postal vote frauds, not least the incident where an MP's vote was stolen.

  16. CLARIFICATION OF STORY on International Bigfoot Symposium · · Score: 2, Funny

    Bigfoot refers to the legendary beast, not the destructive big foot in Monty Python. Do not let the choice of category icon confuse you.
