don't see an issue

aside from the "reporter's" accent. Very nasal, not very attractive.

Is that atypical of female Aussie newsreaders? I prefer the neighbours accent.

This product will fail

Tablet PC's are absolutely useless gimmicks. No-one in their right mind would want to use one for real life work, not even surfing the interwebs.

Look at the iphone/itouch for example, nice on screen keyboard, but come on, you cannot type for any length of time for it to be useful.

Fine for very quick messages and that's it. I have one... Great for quick web surfing on the go though.

And what about that name? The slate or iSlate has been rightly slated.

Nuffink more than...

...bad parenting. There is no reason to ever call the police for an 11 year old child.

Mind you the cop was totally out of order for

1. listening to the mother tell him to taser her

2. doing it.

She is only 11 FFS. The MOTHER should be tasered.

Epic fail.

They really are taking the piss

oh yes

A Dell, with design sense?

say it isin't so?

I may actually buy one of these...

FFS

I must agree, I'm forever (well the odd time) seeing oops, we fecked up FF will restart and we apologise or some other pile of crap excuse.

never happened with earlier releases, and yes I am on 3.5.5 and yes it happened this morning...

I still like it though.

Downloaded the MSDN version

...but didn't bother installing it. Vista runs perfectly well with 90% of the services disabled on 2GB RAM. I know it sucks, and I am actually a linux head (RHCE certified twice - among others), but I like having one windows machine around, and the licence came with the PC so Meh.

I'm gonna wait until SP1 is released before testing it, coz I've been that soldier many many times before with MS distros.

I'd love one myself

Perfect for town riding - where you never go beyond 20 MPH anyway, actually in Dublin where I live, the speed limit has been reduced to 30 KPH.

Now I assume no license or insurance will be required as cyclists will be overtaking you. I clocked one cyclist cruising (with seemingly little effort) at 50KPH.

I would definitely buy one of these, even though I already have two sportsbikes, I can see the point.

Jackie Smith for EU president

Coz she's brilliant she is. Blair and WackieJ together would be ever better.

Blair, "Jesus told me that we need to give away all our rights to the USA, coz they believe in God and stuff therefore are not evil"

WackieJ, "Indeed, I shall completely ignore all scientific evidence, even when it comes from government appointed scientists..."

Humax FreeSat user here...

...and well happy.

Changed from Sky (all options) to FreeTard and the picture quality from the _SAME_ sky disk is far far superiour. I believe the difference is n the chip sets used, or something.

Humax upscales SD to HD, the first time I switched it on I could not believe I was looking at the same TV.

My parents use the much cheaper grundic basic units, with better TV's than I have, yet their picture looks no better than SKY did.

@Cachehunter just uninstalled it

... because of that EULA..

I also took the time to make sure everything related was disabled in services, and went a bit mad and disabled almost every services.. machine works far faster now :-)

It's free which is good

installed it, ran updates, now it's running a scan.... bored with it already..

Buying Redhat makes sense

I'm just surpirsed that Dell have not done this already, they already have a cosy relationship with RH.

Total joke

Changing my search engine to something else. Alta vista still around?

Software patents are poppycock.

Hey

I changed my gmail / every website password the other day... to match my work password, coz that had a forced change... bastards. So I added a 1 to it.

Why not

Surely this is no different to using a sat nav?? Why not have a screen mount?

How would that be any more dangerous?

Thumbs up for me, but I'll never use it as sat nav's are pointless anyway.

Nowt wrong with rolling down the window and asking directions, or reading a map.

The Yanks....

...contribute even more to global warming...

No way anyone would fall off the back

....coz old people are really good at balance and stuff.

Still, that kid seems to think its a laugh, so it's not that bad.

Hang about

Who actually reads digital books? I cannot see anyone replacing the good ol hard/paperback for a portable digital reader. If your going to do that, you would be far better off listening to someone read the book to you.

That way you can lie on the beach and "read" with your eyes closed. Or fall asleep in a bus etc etc.

I've read the news many times on an iphone/ipod/smartphone, but read a book? I think not.

It is quite annoying after one page...

Sky news

Award winning news channel......

Leccy costs too much

The cost of electricity is the reason so many companies are going tits-up. But the government are incompetent to realise this... baxturds.

Moon & Mars = Boring idea from Dubya Bush

What exactly is the point in this? PR? Feel good factors for Merkins?

Seriously, who cares? The money could be put to far better use investing in the economy.

Stop wasting money, innit?

read-only filesystem?

Why ever not? Only accept session cookies to a dedicated scratch partition (tmpfs?), all email kept in OOmpa Loompa land, same goes for your docs, apps etc.

Why would this not be achievable? If the FS is read-only, then your viruses can try all they like, but they'll never get to the hdd. All your email scanning and security could be "cload" based in OOmpa Loompa land. Thefore no anti-V necessary. Same goes for firewalling, you don't need it if you have zero ports open. Plus nothing wrong with having a heavily enforced selinux policy either, as well as runing every single thing in a chroot jail - not the best security I know, but no ports open = no connections possible, innit?

Why ever not?

Doomed to fail....

...at that price, I mean, come one.... 200 _pounds_ a month.... what a total joke.

200 euro would be too much.

Unless, or course, that covers tax & insurance... and even then it is too expensive for a plastic car.

€100 including fuel, tax, insurance & free parking and it will sell. Otherwise....

As a biker

I really like the sound of the German bike in that vid, that leccy tech or whatever it is sounds fantastic.

I would definitely buy one... As a reference, I ride a CBR1000RR (Scorpion can) and a YZF-R6 (Micron can).

Well fit

I am well impressed by the up and coming politicos in Dublin, lots of well fit birds.

This cannot do her chances any harm all the same, young lads will definitely vote for her.

Signed, a Dublin voter.

Brilliant

Oh so condecending, gonna send the link to the missus and see what she thinks....

@Not a clue

Actually, with vi4 you would not even need to do this, they have new features above HA level which will keep your VM's up with zero downtime (no reboots at all required) even when you loose the node entirely due to say, a fire or other disaster.

I've seen it in action and it really does work very well.

HA HA HA, April fools.

That's just so funny, what are these PITA, I mean PETA peeps like!!!???

I bet they laughed for a week over that one? maybe it arrived on april 1st?
