  1. Re:Oh dear on BBC Comedy Show to Debut Online · · Score: 1

    A couple of recent goodies on Comedy Central were The Hollow Men [a UK group doing sketches] and Stella [US, but seeming very English, in a sitcom of sorts].

  2. Re:Sweet on BBC Comedy Show to Debut Online · · Score: 1

    Or funny.

  3. Re:Interesting on BBC Comedy Show to Debut Online · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there something called "Where's My Bush"? It was so bad I've tried to cut out the part of my brain which remembers it.

  4. Re:Hope they can be downloaded and viewed later on BBC Comedy Show to Debut Online · · Score: 2, Informative

    The BBC have told me that, in theory, only people with a TV license should watch the broadband section of their site, but they have no way of checking.

  5. Re:Excellent Comedy on BBC Comedy Show to Debut Online · · Score: 1

    Another one which started on the radio.

  6. Re:Mighty Boosh? on BBC Comedy Show to Debut Online · · Score: 1

    The songs are catchier.

  7. Re:Better as a radio show on BBC Comedy Show to Debut Online · · Score: 1

    The style of the humour was such that the radio was always going to 'look' better than the TV, regardless of how much was spent on it - things can be described which can never be created.

  8. Re:Things seemed to work ok on Bank E-Communications Aid During London Bombings · · Score: 1

    Most of the people I know in London start work at 9am at the latest, so were either at work or walking between public transport and where they work. Using email was quicker and more reliable.

    Of course if it had all happened an hour earlier it would have been a much different situation.

  9. Re:Cellphone iTunes? on Apple to Become Wireless Provider? · · Score: 1

    Does using it as a radio count?

  10. Re:Congestion Fee? on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    You're suggesting it was Red Ken who planted the bombs? Actually the congestion fee has been suspended today and possibly for the rest of the week.

  11. Re:Today was not a good day to get the wrong train on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    Educate would have been a better word than breed.

  12. Re:Canary Wharf shooting? on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    It's been asked about in the press conference and denied.

  13. Re:first 9/11... then 7/7... on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    June the 6th next year could be an interesting one.

  14. Re:Clever on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    Nothing out of the ordinary there - if you're on a tube and it's delayed you'll try to use a bus for the rest of the journey. So far there's no evidence that the bus bomb was an intentional suicide bomber.

  15. Re:Clever on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    If the bombs were timed then it's possible there was no target location, as you can't be totally sure where a tube train is going to be. And the one on the bus could have been intended for the tube but was delayed and detonated in the wrong place.

  16. Re:Why? on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 2, Funny

    I take it you've never driven in London?

  17. coax on What's the Best Geek Joke You Know? · · Score: 1

    How do you pronounce it?

  18. Otjher Linksys guides on Home Networking Simplified · · Score: 2, Informative

    There's been a "Linksys Networks: The Official Guide" since 2000 or so. First written by Kathy Ivens and Larry Seltzer, with the most recent paperback earlier this year edited by Walter Glenn.

  19. Re:Dr. Who on CBC TV on Dr Who Rolls On · · Score: 1

    Channel 99 on Comcast in Seattle.

  20. Re:Applications on Best Web Authoring Application? · · Score: 1

    After selling HomeSite the author carried on developing it, and the imporved version is now sold as TopStyle.

  21. Re:I just want to say... on Dr Who Rolls On · · Score: 1

    That episode had the highest fear forcast - they're watched by some children who say how frightened they are.

  22. Re:Cultural Difference - Be Ashamed America on Consumers Prefer Movies At Home · · Score: 1

    While agreeing with your point, just a small correction - the USA population is about 296 million.

  23. Re:YOU ALL FAIL IT!!! on If Bad Software Developers Built Houses... · · Score: 1

    Juat in case the horse is still alive, let me add that "X, Y, and Z." could be written as "X, Y and Z."; the Oxford comma is not used in all locations.

  24. Re:You could have it professionally done on Writing Letters for Cold Canvassing (IT) Jobs? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A ditto from me. My wife had her resume rewritten (I think it was via Monster) and at $300 for a couple of pages it seemed like a waste of money.

    But companies started falling over themselves to give her interviews, and she was able to choose where to go rather than taking what was offered.

  25. Re:*sigh* over music on Cuban Says RIAA Damages Should be $5 Per Month · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That someone argues and acts with energy and enthausiasm over music doesn't mean they're not involved in other causes.
