In time for xmas

Great, somewhere exotic to shop for xmas presents if they can get the portal open in time.

Just remebered a big FAIL in his case

The loading screens that also displays the tips has one that talks about playing WoW in moderation, so the warning is there (just like Wii stuff has). He chose to ignore it, FAIL, kick it straight out of court.

(P.S. this doesn't affect his status as an insufferable twat).

Rip-off

For once I feel sorry for iPhone owners, especially if they buy TomTom. They know nothing of customer loyalty and will quite happily charge you full price for software updates where as all the other companies I buy software from will offer you a discount for an upgrade (MS included), may seem trivial but when your paying £70+ for maps each time!

I don't have an iPhone but after a few years of being financially abused by TomTom I ditched them and went with CoPilot as version 8 of their software is definately worthy of what I'd paid for the TomTom product but thankully CoPilot don't charge that much and if you have a HTC phone with version 7 installed (which obviously comes for free) they will still let you have a discount when upgrading to version 8, happy days, even happier that I could take all my custom favourites and POIs with me as well.

CoPilot you will have my money for a number of years if you keep that attitude, TomTom you can get stuffed.

Paris....errrrr..... ummm, cause she gets about a bit.

Ticket booked

I'm on the first flight over there.

Mine's the one with nothing in the pockets as Airport security have just searched it.

Technically speaking

Doesn't that make all breeds of Dogs genetic freaks as they are supposed to be cross bred from the original wolf in the siberian region (I may be wrong I'm pulling on memories of a nature program from awhile back).

Those dissing Bulldogs seem to have a lot of incorrect information, my uncle and aunt who bred, competed and even judged (their bulldogs, before someone misinterprets that lastbit) at crufts never encountered half the issues you lot are talking about.

PETA, bless'im, they really don't operate in the normal realms of reality do they.

Change the name, the product stays the same

Seems Bulgaria wants to be the centre of modern day culture and this must be an early attempt to change the title of a certain substance to 'Bulgarian Marching Powder'

Great...

.... now you can listen to verbal diarrhea

Love it

I listen to it if I'm having trouble sleeping, very calming.

Poor love

I bet Kelly has been down in the dumps, cause your not a full fledged reporter until you get a commentard being a 'tard about one of your stories.

I would love to know what else his kids have found online that teaches them about the world, let's hope he has a decent filter to keep them away from redhotporn.xxx

RoTM

It's getting closer, they are talking about the little mini-missiles and such like used by the flying killbots in T3.

I for one am running away from our new miniaturised killing overlords, come with me if you want to live.

Nostalgia

Still can't read anything about the LHC without reminiscing about playing 'Another World' when I was younger.

If any scientists have an ounce of common sense they won't fire it up if there is an electrical storm outside :)

@Dunstan Vavasour

Not likely, they are still basically civil servants, so it'll be when a red hot ugly fella starts skating to work that you can use 'bonus' in the same sentence.

wow

That's amazing, I watched the whole thing and was throughly entertained, I've just placed an order for 30 copies of windows 7 so I can also give them to all my friends and we can dance together knowing we're all using the same OS.

happy happy joy joy

(P.S. moral of this story is don't lick certain types of frog too early in the day, NURSE... jacket please).

Sharks

My sharks are in training as I write this, although I don't think I want to attach turbines to them the RSPCA might want to get involved if I take it that far.

Have a word with NASA

Surely there's some ceramic heat tiles tech they could adapt from the shuttles. Should be thin enough just not sure how they will solve the non-skid coating (have a word with teflon maybe?)

flame cause... well cause that's what the aritcle is about, flaming decks.

In the Public Interest

I want to know if mine or my wife's details have been sold or are they not naming the moble operator because they are afraid that the customers concerned will be after compensation of some sort (ge'us a free phone guv).

Sorry, what!

"We wouldn't have received that money without investors' confidence," you mean investor stupidity, did no-one learn anything from the dot-com boom.

Tragic loss...

... to the entertainment industry.

A quality actor :(

Or...

... they could base the whole film on the Star Wars version of Monopoly, then after that they could do a spin-off just called Star Wars.... oh... hang on sec.......

@Mister Cheese

Bigtrak, now theres a small tear of nostalgia rolling down my cheek.

Damn Shame

Gutted, used them a lot for those people that wanted basic kit at an affordable price, lost count on the amount of PC's I bought from them for other people :(

@AC 5th November 2009 16:07 GMT

6 billion would mean your asking for the global population, for the british population I think you need millions ;)

Ah now it makes sense

"extrovert intellectuals who know a lot about the media" this sums Apple fanbois I know in a nutshell, twats with their heads up thier own arses in laymans terms, especially seeing as none of them have media related jobs and the intellectual part is highly dubious.

No icon for 'head up own arse' so just imagine where the thumb is instead.

Next solution...

... get a samsung TV (or home cinema) and a netgear ReadyNAS and all your streaming needs will be taken care of, onlie and off.

Another excuse

For central gov to sit around doing nothing, "lets pick a day to not bother with phone calls" not that they probably take much notice of them anyway.

Lazy Dosstards is what they are.

Yuk

Looks damn ugly! (obviously bar the UI, can't comment on that as I haven't seen it).

Not impressed

We have 'working parties' about 'working parties' and we don't have enough conference rooms, the one I can seal tight will be booked by me for the rest of the year at this rate and it's going to cost me a fortune in Diesel for the generator.

Need another alternative to the gassing Simon ;)

Inquirying minds

I want to know where all these research projects get there shit from?

Is there like an official 'Dealer' for research projects, if so where the hell does he live and what's his mobile number?

RE: China has it right

Is that beacuse if you don't get up at the same time as Beijing you'll be arrested and quietly disappear in one of their mobile death wagons.

@Ian and AC 14:57

I think this recession is a lot of companies 'get-out-of-jail-free' card when it comes to FSP, I don't know of many companies that want to keep them, they are a costly pension, I'd bet my house on all of these companies that withdraw the FSP will not be re-introducing them.

I consider myself lucky that I still work for an employer that has them (although for how long is another story).

Unions are a throwback that could definately be thrown out. I think the greed attitude definately stems from the Union rather than the employee, in the case of the Royal Mail, it's a shame that the moderisation programme will make some people redunant but it's a 'break a few eggs to make an omlette' senario, the omlette being the continuation of Royal Mail as a business.

@BigYin

Could be worse, you should try an overnight train in India.

You could try throwing my grandmother...

... but you'd probably get a face full of ash (bless her).

What is it going to achieve

I don't see the point in the strike action, Fujitsu clearly dn't have the money available to support a final salary pension, 1,200 workers and a pay increase, if they don't have the money they just don't have the money. Strike action will only mean they lose more money faster, which would equate to the 1,200 number probably increasing.

Last time I heard we were in a recession and times are hard, other workers for other companies have voluntarily reduced their hours and such like, not because they wanted, they just saw teh value in keeping their jobs and at the same time keeping their employer afloat so eventually they could go back to full time hours.

Never gonna happen
