What gets me is that this is the same BBC that created an entire computing platform in the 80s as part of its educational programming. I, like many others, benefited immensely from this, but didn't know the whole story until fairly recently. It never occurred to me to wonder/why/ it was called the BBC Micro. Reading up on it now blows my mind.
The best they can manage now is GCSE Bitesize and iPlayer. Not. Good. Enough.
Apart from the fact that I wouldn't touch a gateway with a barge pole. Yeah, you can pick up a reasonably specced laptop for hardly any money these days from some manufacturers - I still wouldn't spend MY money on one. Asus, on the other hand, are a brand I DO trust.
So, they thought you were going to steal a car and that would justify them shooting you? Call me old fashioned but surely training a gun on someone is something that should only happen when there is a risk that someone else is going to be killed or seriously injured?
If you liked the episode, be sure to read "What I Did on My Holidays" by Sally Sparrow, the short story on which the episode was based. It was a favourite in our house before the episode was made - the kids really loved it.
I've used kopete for some years now, but I'm getting increasingly irritated with certain things about it. I'm hoping KDE 4 brings some genuine innovation back into the client, because it used to be my favourite for a reason - I just feel like development has stagnated lately.
Very simple. It allows me to store videos on a machine somewhere out of the way, and watch them on my TV, with an absolute minimum of fuss, and a nice interface to boot.
I don't have a PVR nor do I don't have a small form factor media PC. Neither do I want any of these things. This is a lot cheaper and a lot less hassle.
The reason having this ported is a good idea is because at the moment it's tied to the Xbox, a platform which is rapidly becoming phased out, and also a platform which is somewhat limited in processing power and RAM. It will eventually have to move if XBMC is going to change and evolve.
Also, it makes it legal, which it currently isn't.
What I love about Tron (well, one of the many things) is that some of the defining effects weren't CG at all. The glowing costumes were done using vaseline, and the fizzle of the CG world was an artefact of mixing up the film canisters. Talk about turning a potentially movie-wrecking fuck-up around.
What about the ones who can't hear the instructions because of the general panic? Or because they're deaf? What about the people that are terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought? Is it OK to shoot them?

In the case of the Blackberry, you mean apart from not being shit?

"Can such a person exist? A system administrator who has to get used to the idea of command lines?!"
.bat script is required knowledge for a Windows sysadmin as far as I'm concerned.
Only a very bad one. Knowing how to write a decent
This makes me want to tackle that Global Toilet Database project I've been planning since I was 12 (at which point it was going to be a book)

Does this remind anyone else of Superman 3?
Geeko is missing too. Great mascot, daft name.

That second part I associate more with Linux than Windows, to be honest. (Die hard Linux user, btw)
