    You're probably giving them wayyyy too much credit ;)

    And less importantly, will it run Vista?

    I think "I think" is a euphemism or "I don't know what I'm talking about, but.."

    Strangely, your insightful post was modded funny. Obviously the mods are just on crack today.

    Excellent :D

    I have a very high room actually, I had nicked a projector from work at one point but it was pretty old, got rather hot and noisy pretty quickly - I'd have to get something a bit quieter (unless I went with headphones as you suggest) :P

    He can compensate by spending the latter half of his life with his screen projected onto the ceiling so that he always has to tilt his head back to see it? I should really try setting something like that up to watch movies in bed :P

  9. Re:posture? on Lap Desks · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'd actually been considering something like this to play a game while I bathe. Do you think I'm addicted?

    On the plus side, I think in the bath the screen would be in a fairly ergonomic position :p Now I just need a waterproof USB keyboard..

    I live alone. Aww... maybe get a cat?

    I don't know, if he gets some power and lube wired into it, and other appropriate attachments, it could make his browsing and gaming experiences a lot more explosive

    Well, I know it's better than a lot of continental beef, or at least it has traditionally been, and I presume it still is :p And Denmark is 'meant to be' good for bacon

    Ya of course we make clothes and have divisions of Sony/Rockstar/Microsoft/whatnot in the UK, and we have car manufacturers, but when it comes to things like the clothes and cars they tend to be specialist markets like tartan and supercars rather than large industrial churn out a million of 'em type thing. I almost put food on the list but we do produce a lot of our own food, Scottish beef is meant to be some of the best in Europe I think..

    Yeah, after you've raised them as your daughters o_0 they still don't have accelerated aging, or accelerated education ;)

  17. Re:The USA will ALWAYS be #1 on Japan's Melody Roads Play Music as You Drive · · Score: 1

    I dont really think it's a win/lose situation though, world economies tend to complement each other rather than trying to destroy the others (no I'm not an economist, but I like fine the fact that we can import clothes, games consoles and so on from other countries rather than have to do everything ourselves..). Also the UK has a tiny population compared to the US and I dont feel like our economy is 'losing' out in any way..

  18. Re:The USA will ALWAYS be #1 on Japan's Melody Roads Play Music as You Drive · · Score: 1

    So it's going to take you a century to catch up with China and India? What's going to happen to your economy in the meantime? What's going to happen to theirs? *shrug* Why do you have to try to convince yourself that America is always 'winning'?

  25. Re:Hardware RNG on Loophole in Windows Random Number Generator · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah because every time Windows is updated, it's a really high priority to write a new random number generator? XP is based off of 2000 even if Vista was meant to be a rewrite.

    "Hey guys, I dont think the random number generator is random enough today - it came up with 2 prime numbers in a row! Anyone feel like taking a few days to rewrite it, test it, introduce a few bugs, document it, seal off the documentation to make sure nobody finds it, and go take it up to Steve? I hear he's out of chairs right now so it should be okay".
