    I probably should of hyphenated the nick , but it didn't occur to me at the time and it was too late to change it .
    Though I do like plays on words , especially subtle portmanteau and swapping in unexpected but correct words EG:"Defiantly so "

    This is a pain I know all too well .
    I have been kicked from chat rooms and had an account halted on UO for the same reason as the guy on EQ .
    My name is satirical , not a troll and I am not pretending to be the president of Cuba

    Fidel catsro comes from a sketch I was writing about turning Communist leaders of the 20th century into small fluffy animals who were trying to take over the world.

    I had decided to go with catsro . I had the choice of Chairman Meow , Pol cat ,Karl Barx , Vladmir Lemming

    I am very attached to this nick name , and really get annoyed if i am forced not to use it .Though I can understand some of their reasons .
    (Though I very much doubt Casrto would ever use his real name whilst playing Ultima online)

    on a total side note
      I have had several questions posed to me about my Human rights record , these people were serious and got really angry.

  6. Re:Tiny quibble with the review on The Nokia N90, $900 Camera Phone Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I do love extra features on my phone , I also use my phone for my calendar and address storage whilst on the go ,
    I sync with bluetooth , I use it as a Dictaphone , I occasionally take a snapshot of things and play the odd game on it .

    I also want to know how the phone handles in the real world as a phone . How good the sound quality is in a noisy environment etc.

    I don't want just a phone , but I want the it to excel at being a Phone and I want the details .. especially when that phone costs 900 quid. Add to that the fact that it also functions as a media player , which requires good audio hardware .

  9. Re:Tiny quibble with the review on The Nokia N90, $900 Camera Phone Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I have had numerous problems with Microphones and speakers when using phones over the years .
    It is very noticeable the difference in quality between some of them , especially with those that tend to drop parts of the conversation .
    Perhaps I am just a little sensitive in regards to sound quality ,but it is very important to me .

    I also live in a village , the reception here is not great . I need a good antenna to compensate for that . If you are in a city or town , chances are you will never notice something like this though.

  10. Tiny quibble with the review on The Nokia N90, $900 Camera Phone Reviewed · · Score: 4, Informative

    One small , perhaps insignificant problem with the review.
    It goes in-depth with all the features of the phone rather well, it does however miss one thing.

    How good is it as an actual phone?
    What does it sound like when making a call?
    Is the antenna any use?
    How is the microphone?

    This is something rather important to me when buying a phone.. being that it is the primary purpose of the thing.

    Good review of all the features though, I won't touch this phone with a barge-pole if the review is correct (and the price tag so inordinate ).

  14. Re:Dying of old age? on Humans Could Live For 1000 Years · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A human right now could potentially live to about 130 , we likely will succumb to another condition about 50 years before that though.

    The chance of contracting many of these conditions is greatly increased with age , if we can limit the decay associated with that then chances of contracting these conditions is also limited .
    Though the 1000 year target is not taking into account environmental damage , it seems reasonable figure for perfect conditions .
      limiting the cellular ageing will also help us to look a lot more youthful for a great deal longer

    I am only familiar with FOX and CNN really (I live in Germany , have a friend of mine send me over some fox news reports and I watch CNN international occasionally ) . Fox is just on another level in my experience . I don't deny that even the BBC do hype up stories , but i have never seen the likes of NewsCorp's behaviour .

    I perhaps should have also mentioned Sky News (UK satellite TV channel ) , the sun and News of the world (UK tabloids) . Both of which are about as bad as Fox news for this .

    That and I can never forgive them for cancelling Futurama

    I just got modded a troll for saying Fox news lies , makes up stories and misleads people .

    Incase the moderator missed what i was trying to say .. it is that fox news would likely hyperbolise the situation beyond all recognition to gain more viewers .Possibly repeating it constantly over a few weeks and watching the viewer counts soar .
    Sounds familiar to me .

    I do wonder why Fox have yet to pick up on that , they never normally miss an opportunity to insight hatred and spread lies
