I agree...

... yet another example of why Open Source has been adopted so slowly by the general populace, those Open Source advocates don't understand the general public and what they want/care about.

@AC (or Edwin)

My reality is grounded on cost and performance especially when referring to electronic kit, I don't see Apple's products marrying the cost vs performance part though. Example being my phone does all that the iPhone does out of the box bar any Apple specific products/services and costs a mere fraction in terms of ownership. The same can be said for my PC's at home, they cost a lot less and in particular my desktop quad core's speed is like slippery poo off a greased spade, all for a mere £500 and no tinkering needed (small white lie, I added another SLI graphics card for that extra whooph).

Last time I checked Jobs was a board member of Disney / Pixar and I think the success of Disney was well established before he became a board member by default due to the Pixar aquisition. Ignore me though as what I've said might distort your reality bubble a bit, drink more kool-aid and all will be well again.

Yup to the lightscribe...

... cause the buggers round my way keep nicking my felt-tip pen, plus lightscribe etched CD/DVD's look a lot cleaner when quickly burning stuff for clients/customers (allows you to sneak your own branding in at every opportunity).

Which is quicker?

Hitting a number on a keypad or waving a gesture (which you'll need to get right or it won't work).

It sounds like a solution to a problem that never existed.

Wrong wording?

"...prestigious directorship." Did you mean directorship or dictatorship, we are talking about Brown after all.

I will refrain from using his new title of Dr and will be using his old title of twat.

A true hero of the people...

... is the one they never know about, I'd keep it quiet too if I ran Wikileaks.

I like the idea of wikileaks but I think Assange is a glory hunter and a proper twat personality wise, if this is a smear campaign then Assange has only his self too blame for leaving himself so open to such an attack.

... microdot then :D

I'd say the...

... money grabbing public servants, cause at least the motives of why the terrorist blew/shot/maimed/etc are pretty honest. I don't think some public servants can even say the word honest without blacking out or stuttering (Kryten from Red Dwarf saying Smeghead to Rimmer immediately springs to mind).

Hear that people...

... the cell is full for the next 2 months, let the facial gags flood forthwith.

(Please note the joke icon, I don't want to get banned for inciting a verbal smut riot)

Flashback...

... ditto

I'm with you Lionel...

... respect and responsibility is going to be the staple diet for my son. If he's prepared to say or do it then he has to learn to stand-by his actions rather than 'fire and forget'.

RE: You're a devious bugger

I agree, noted for future use should I go to a strip club.

Aye, I second that theory...

... nuff said

Easy on the generalisation...

... Colour-blindness comes in varying degrees like Dyslexia does, red and green aren't always the offending colours.

@El Reg

What have you lot done to the Eponymous Halfwit? Stamped on his kittens or stolen his LoTR models for future Playmobil reconstructions?

Even more popular....

"whilst bound to the bed by her wrists?

I'll bet she's popular.

..... not to mention the tricks she could perform with her feet!!"

There's video of women like this on the internet, I think it would fall into the NSFW catergory of links though.

Stop

There's far too many double entendre when we have an article with the phrase honeypot and Ms Bee making an appearance in the thread.

At lot worse than that...

... they were stuck in the car for 3 days with a dog, it must have broken wind a number of times in that period.

Coat please, I need to get out of the car for some fresh air.

Are you on WiFi?

If so you might want to adjust your MTU value from 1500 to 1492, combination of Win7 and WiFi can in some instances make the WiFi bork at max value of 1500, I've changed a few machines to 1492 (or there abouts) and it's speeded up read and write speeds across a WiFi network. Other factors can cause grief but that all depends on your network setup.

Spot on...

... gone are the days of epics from Directors like Akira Kurosawa, some of his greatest were in B&W and 3D would be completely lost on them as its' the plot as well as the scene compostion that made them beautiful.

I can think of a ton of European films that rely on character depth and storyline that blow most films out of the water today.

Mainstream cinema nowadays is a visual candy store, and as we all know sugar dissolves pretty quick.

Similiar

"...we should trust that they are actually doing the right thing and it is all for our own good."

Sounds like it has been adapted from the statement the government put out to justify their terror laws.
