  1. Re:Umm...what's the point..... on A Grand Day Out For British Rocketman · · Score: 2

    True, at least you'd get a seat if you were going into space.

  2. Re:Drastic measures on New Botnet Dwarfs Storm · · Score: 1

    Sure, give everyone Vista.

  3. Re:eXistenZ was better on Scientist Suggests We Explore 'Universe is a VR Simulation' Theory · · Score: 1

    True, even at the end I was thinking, "Is this reality?"

  4. Re:Flash drives on Get Speed-Booting with an Open BIOS · · Score: 1

    Not forgetting the Acorn Archimedes... I can remember *beep* and then the desktop was there. Ah those were the days.

  5. Re:At least... on Bank Run in Second Life · · Score: 1

    You mean that there's a fractional person playing as well? Gadzooks!

  6. Re:I think they used that in... on Bring Down Internet Explorer In Six Words · · Score: 1

    I didn't see a laughing skull when it crashed though :(

  7. Re:Windux - the clean OS on Linspire/Microsoft Agreement Useless to Users · · Score: 1

    I'd rather win money myself... *tumbleweed rolls by*

  8. Re:At least... on Webcasters Call Bunk on SoundExchange DRM Ploy · · Score: 1

    Thanks for reminding me, my memory's terrible these days.

  9. Re:Isn't all time travel impossible? on Testing Einstein's 'Spooky Action at a Distance' · · Score: 1

    Where's John Titor when you need him?

  10. Re:Who cares? on Harry Potter Leaked Via Handheld Camera · · Score: 1

    This is like a .MOD file vs. an .MP3 -- the latter is sometimes a suitable replacement for the medium it came from, but the former is not. It may get the point across, but it's just not the same thing.
    Sorry to be a pedant, but what's the equivalent to FLAC? :)
  11. Re:Beyond Me on Zune DRM Cracked · · Score: 1

    What was with the larger delete key anyway? I had the misfortune to use a MS keyboard which had one on a daily basis, along side five or six others that featured a "normal" size delete key. I came to the conclusion that if you only used the MS keyboard for the rest of your life you would be fine with the new configuration - otherwise forget being able to touch type effectivley.

  12. Re:More Importantly.. on Are Marketers Abandoning Second Life? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Consider this - would *you* want to buy second-hand genitalia?

  13. Re:Openness Complaints on BBC Trust Will Hear iPlayer Openness Complaints · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is her name Anna?

  14. Re:On the other hand on Quirks and Tips For Upgrading To Vista · · Score: 1

    Google "Winnt.sif"...

    You can specify most "special" folder locations at installation time, plus you can automate most of it (in fact you can even set it up to use a specific product-key). All I do is insert the floppy, boot off the CD and come back an hour later and voilà!

    Have fun.

  15. This is going be a... on Analog Revival Means Vinyl Will Outlive CD · · Score: 1

    ...complete pain to have to carry my LP Player with me on the train to work every day - I don't think that my co-travellers would really appreciate it either (especially my collection of Des O'Connor LPs).

    Plus power would also be a problem - the batteries would cost a fotune... perhaps I could find a handy small monkey to keep winding the handle, does anyone have one I could borrow?

  16. Re:Flash card slot on drive? on Seagate Announces First Hybrid Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Acorn Archimedes ahhhh. Beeeep! "out of memory" grrr.

  17. 256Mb... on Seagate Announces First Hybrid Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    ...ought to be enough for anybody!

  18. Is it just me... on Portable OpenOffice.org 2.01 Released · · Score: 1
    ...or did anyone else read the link as:

  19. Re:And yet, no W2K support :-( on 'Lower Rights' IE 7.0 Coming · · Score: 1

    Precisley... ignorance is bliss ain't it? :o)

  20. Special keyboard? on Blank Keyboard · · Score: 1

    $79.95?

    For that price, I would expect it to have a built-in cup/can/mug holder (for your favourite beverage, caffeine infused or not) as standard and a STFU key that you could use to mute annoying induhviduals with.

  21. Sounds familiar... on Virus Hold Computer Files 'Hostage' for $200 · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is what happened when I installed windows 98... it crashed and a dialog box appeared and demanded that I upgrade to windows XP in order to save my files from digital heaven.

  22. Sponsoring Animals? on Firefox Growth Slowing? · · Score: 1

    I thought that the title read "Firefox Sloth Growing?", and was really impressed that they were sponsoring animals now to show how caring the Open Source community can be.
