What if they found ...

a wrecked TARDIS ?

Bimodal?

Bipolar, more like.

Good luck to them

they'll need it with the amount of MS hating and language snobbery out there.

No VS2010 support? Tsk.

ROI not part of UK.

Just saying like.

There has always been a tinfoil hat brigade

unfortunately the internet acts as a force multiplier to them.

Absolutely right.

Apple do very little innovation - their genius largely lies in design, execution and marketing of existing concepts. I hope they lose this nonsense.

Ah, the Notes application ...

still looks like a shareware app from 1998 I see.

British TV drama *is* crap

... when it tries to be American TV drama, and vice versa. So homegrown attempts at something like The Wire are shite, and US versions of Life On Mars are shite.

So that Viz article was right after all ...

There are still radio hams?

Who knew.

It's very good

however they need to work on the map - I'm a seasoned GTA player and all that, and even I found it hard to navigate. A 5 year old would have no chance.

Has the esteemed councillor

nothing better to be fucking doing?

I saw the HIGNFY in question - only a loon would have taken Shatner's quote seriously.

Kies

I'm with Nick Ryan. Kies is nearly as bad as Windows iTunes. We want tight, native code applications for phone sync not stupid, fat me-too Java abominations.

Mint is easy to install

but a whore to upgrade. Back everything up to external HDD, reinstall from scratch and restore everything? Really?

I remember spamming by fax.

Happy days.

Japan is curiously traditional in some things. My missus taught English out there, the teachers got paid via a large bundle of notes in a rubber band left on their desk in the staff room.

The good old Archie

Blazingly fast and way, way ahead of it's time. You could write stuff in BASIC on it that was as fast as MC on other systems. It could have been a world-beater.

Good game

... played it through again recently. The recent Captain America film is largely this. Some nice little touches that hark back to Wolf 3D, like the hot dinners that give you health, and the way the standard soldiers fall when shot.

To all the people saying Vista was Windows ME 2

Are you basing this on any long-term exposure to service-packed Vista, or are you saying it because some men on the internet said it so it must be true?

The latter, I suspect.

MOAR

GIGABITS

And don't spare the horses.

Console makers will not be using this anytime soon.

Because there are huge swathes of even the affluent-ish West that don't have anything like decent broadband. Why drastically limit your potential userbase?

Adobe in money-grasping asshholery debacle?

Quelle surprise.

"The cloud is the new operating system"

Cough.

Don't you love when Linux elitists

when faced with a genuinely popular distro like Ubuntu, have to retreat further into elitism by hating Ubuntu.
