    But Usama bin-Laden may be hiding up them , along with the Iraqi Weapons of Mass destruction.
    So obviously they need to bomb it

    So basically they should release a PDA running windows PocketPC .. but actually make games for it .

  3. A balancing act on Nintendo Announces DS Lite · · Score: 4, Insightful

    On the one hand , I already have a DS , I love the form factor , the weight is perfect for me , it brings back nostalgic memories of Game and Watch and I have big pockets. So really I can't justify getting a new one

    On the other hand .. wow that thing looks gorgeous and would really go with my iPod and being perched next to the mac.
    Unfortunately I am not that shallow and unless I get an injection of cash I can't justify it .

    I really think that this could boost sales in the Gadget/ fashion conscious markets though

    10 years down the line I could speculate about Apple taking over Disney .. if I were Dvorak I would at least . Since I am not , it sounds just silly.
    Though Steve Jobs has definitely done this to bolster iTunes and the iPod , at least in part .. so perhaps it is not that far fetch to see Disney becoming Apple Entreatment

  6. Re:stock-market on PSP To Increase U.S. Lead Over DS · · Score: 1

    The best way to make money on these things, is to take what the analysts say and bet on the exact opposite, if you do it often enough you are bound to make a fortune.
    Like I always say "The year they stop predicting the end of the world , is the year i start to worry".

    I don't know sounded fun so I tried it .
    But a little boot on the iMac's stand ,then proceeded to use it to kick a Windows XP CD around the room.
    Unfortunately due to a technicality , I can't claim the prize money.
    I assume though I am the first person to boot windows with an iMac

    Well with that WMF exploit which has been in windows since 3.0(I believe) , so XP SP 2 had a negative decade exploit

    That's quite insulting to Microsoft's marketing Department .. They took the time to also redefine "Spam"

  15. Re:the entire population of Glasgow... on Standby Electronics a Waste? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well it would probably sort out late night crime in Central park .. having a bunch of pissed Weegies there would scare off any mugger.
    It would probably replace the mugging with drunken disorderly though .
    Not saying that Glasgow is all rough neighbourhoods , but being a Psycho is part of the Rent agreement in some areas

  19. Re:Another reverse takeover? on Steve Jobs to Sell Pixar and Join Disney Board? · · Score: 1

    I can name a few .. and refute all of them.
    The writings of Flavius Josephus ,which seem to mention things about Jesus :They were discovered to be highly unlike his other writings and are most likely forgeries .
    Pliny the Younger wrote about Jesus in 110 CE , commonly cited as being a source for a historical Jesus, had actually just written the beliefs of Christians
    The others were all written around 110CE and non of them recount any real history on the beliefs of Christians .

    the only evidence you have really to a historical Jesus is the gospels and coincidence (Jesus is derived from Joshua or the Aramaic Yehshua ,Spelling not correct on the Aramaic)
    Which was not an uncommon name , neither was Joseph or Miriam .
    Lack of evidence is not evidence of lack .. so I can not Categorically state there was no historic figure , but I strongly believe there was not

    I don't know, there are many similarities between Jesus and Hercules .
    Both supposed Son's of G-d/s , both most likely didn't exist , both went around performing miracles , both were invented in Greece .

    Im Scottish-Jewish .. never say anything like that really though . I am both Scottish and Jewish and proud of both for the right reasons , I do not think I am better than anyone else and I love to experience other cultures.
    So long as you do not allow it to segregate you from the general population it should not hurt race relations .
    Problems come from people like the *Insert race or colour* Separatists/power movements who want to isolate themselves for the purpose of "PURE BLOOD" and have mad conspiracy theories like the Jews run the media , the white man is the Devil , Black people are all criminals , Chinese people are all Maoists bent on destroying America etc.
    Respect is what's important , admiration and understand also .

    High IQ is no guarantee of high Machiavellian intelligence , in many instances it can hamper your social skills.
    There are many different forms of intelligence , being able to dazzle a crowd with a recitation of hamlet from memory , is not a guarantee that you could explain and understand string theory.
    Sure IQ is a measure of your logical problem solving skills , problem is , there are very few logical people .

    All too aware of that one .. it is very tempting at times.. though I would find it morally reprehensible to use as a ticket in the door .
    Well I wouldn't mind using it if I was having a meeting with a client I knew was Jewish , that would just give us an ice breaker , but I know some of my friends have played the Anti-Semitism card to get some time off for example (Which really diminishes the genuine claims)
    Plus in this area of Germany , I think I am the only Jewish person in an 100KM radius .I am the de-facto leader of my local Jewish community .. due it being composed of me.For the same reason I am leader of the local Scottish community .. though interestingly enough , there was another Scottish person who lived just down the road up until a couple of years ago (OK probably not interesting really).
