Welcome.

I for one welcome our....

er..

Wrong thread - sorry.

Totally Titsup

Each blade contains several virtual servers and

each server hadles several applications and

one rare error happens to occur and

The whole shebang goes totally titsup.

You gotta love progress.

Oops !

Bloody (alien) women drivers !

Dual Usage

Simply add a strategically placed cork and voila! - A doll that explodes! (messily)

Wow - Such passion on this thread.

Can I just say that I have a pet slug named Kevin.

But he's not terribly smart.

Who would they call ?

It doesn't matter really - they'd only end up going through an automated options system before

being redirected to a call centre in India or some foreign parts.

Paris... foreign parts.. Heh heh!

Building Applications ?

What? is that like planning permission or summat?

Self-repairing eh?

But they'll still have to wait 4 - 6 weeks for out of stock parts to be shipped from Taiwan.

Then they'll be the wrong size parts.

Then the supplier will deny all knowledge of the original order.

By which time the warranty will have expired.

So they'll have to engage a lawyer to fight their case.

Which will cost them an arm and a leg.

Which will require them to self-repair again !!

I don't think I'll worry anytime soon.

Not that I'm cynical or anything, but...

It's obvious that the town is going to lose, unless WB etc. decide to make a gesture.

HOWEVER - I wonder what would happen if someone named a new town after an 'existing'

super-hero? ...... Mega law suit from the IP owners without mercy methinks.

Paris, because I'd like to see her other side too.

Something fishy...

Maybe it should have read "poisson" ?

Hokey Cokey

You put your IT Systems in.

You pull your IT Systems out.

In, Out, In, Out,

....until everybody feels sick.

Fantastic !!

Amazing, incredible, wonderful, etc. etc. etc.

In fact I can't wait for it to go on public release so someone can buy it and tell me what it's like.

Not very good

at slug-balancing then?

Damp Squib

I expect Mr. E's licence was 'paid' by a BBC exec checking a box. That way the much vaunted protest becomes completely insubstantial.

Paris - Check her box.

I wish......

I could be the dwarf on No Undie Sundie.....

Solomon Grundy - "make absolutely know sense at all?"

I once saw in a university magazine the editor using "no" instead of "know", but that just about takes the biscuit.

How about all those people who dont know the difference between "lose" and "loose" to.

OK - That last "to" had to be an 'o' short deliberately, right?

Otherwise it's just to funny!!

Last words..........ever.

"Right - Switch it on!.......

........er.....is it supposed to do that?.......

......Oh Crap!"

<BANG> THE END

Paris has very probably Hadron

Hooray for the Colonel !

So KFC do cookies now?

COOL !!

Follow standard procedure

I thought it was usual in any domain dispute for the big guy with the money to squash the little guy?

Google ate my hamster !

I no longer care who takes over the world; They are all as corrupt and

depraved as each other.

But I do object to the rapidly becoming ubiquitous use of the non-verb

"to google" when referring to conducting a web search.

It really gets my goat, and my goat is not happy.

I knew that.

........or did I dream it?

Benefit of the doubt.

I am dubious, but willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

I know loads of non-IT common or garden folk who haven't the first clue

about nettiquette and probably don't know one end of a PC from another.

But they know how to find and download music, films and anything else,

dump it to a stick, ipod or phone, and transmit it around their friends like

an expert.

Paris - Living proof of complete ignorance.

Magnetic Monopoles

Can I be the Racing Car?

Of course she is, and......

...If I had five identical boogers I'd make a song and dance about it too!

Paris ... 'cos women don't have boogers.

Thanks, but no thanks.

I'd need at least 22k p.a.

Paris, *the* Femme FLATale.

The REALLY BIG question.

If a grocery store employee says "Paper or Plastic?"

and there's no-one in the store to hear it,

.....Will it adversely affect the price of a tin of baked beans?

...The shopping trolley is out there!

Grassist !

I wonder how excited everyone would be if a hitherto unseen painting

of a patch of grass had been found beneath a famous Van Gogh portrait?
