Re: Is this a tech site or not?

Alien 3 is not bad, just a disappointment.

Most dissappointed person was James Cameron as they killed off his new characters,

Resurrection is the drink mat supplied with the trilogy.

Re: Computer Games Movies

I reckon the new Ratchet & Clank movie may be OK.

Film scriptwriter wrote the games.

The voice actors are the game voice actors.

The game studio is heavily involved.

Re: Bad movies? I LOVE BAD MOVIES!

I remember Slipstream, I quite liked it at the time.

I remember renting it, on Beta

Re: Devil

Quite annoying after you find a good one, to find they get rubbish was so sad.

Signs to me was the the start of the drop.

Now I just don't even bother.

Re: Coping Mechanism

Say to yourself.

There was never a remake to "Wicker Man"

There was never a remake to "The Italian Job"

There was never a remake to "Taxi"

Chap at work said he had seen Taxi, I said did you like the 406?

Go the reply American film.

I will HAVE to lend him my Taxi DVD

Re: Devil

What happened to him, MNS made some really good films. Then they turned to crap.

6th Sense was clever

Unbreakable was his best I really like it

Signs OK

The Village clever but silly

Lady in the Water rot set in a very average film

Re: Two words

I don't know, I liked the version with David Jason, Nicholas Lyndhurst and the 3 wheel yellow Batmobile

Re: BE

Aghhhhhhhhh I forgot how dragged on it was!

Armageddon does have some good bits

The special effects

Re: Apps

Err that is not an issue.

I have access to millions of programs, from simple text editors to huge vertical market factory software.

It is of a standard format usable by most PCs in the world.

Re: YOU WILL LOVE ME!!!

I just want a computer to do what I want. Different prettyness no problem, but completely methods aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Basically Windows was very similar from the one after Program Manager (95) to 7, that is well over 15 years of the same style. Well guess what they got the basic idea right.

I do not want confusing GUIs, as far as I am concerned ANY keyboard based GUI program should have a menu at the top. Basically the File Edit, so when non Windows OSes look more like Windows than Windows there is something wrong.

All the ribbon applications should have had a proper menu as well, I needed a news group reader in Win 7 so took the easy choice of Thunderbird.

MS Word I have to use addins with the file edit patch.

So basically do not get in the way of me working.

Oh and for anyone saying I could learn all the new features (which are just as likely to be rejected at a later date) of something I use when necessary I would rather use the time to improve my programming skills. (.NET is the next one).

Look I am over 50 now, and the last thing I want to do is spend my own time working out how something should work, when it should just work. It was not hard to build two Win7/Mint 17 dual boot gaming PCs.

I was fine in the DOS days, I loved Netware, Multiuser DOS was very good, I was OK with Windows. I even ran WFW on the Real32 server.

I will have a play with 10, we have a 8.x PC at work everyone avoids, then we will see how annoying it is.

Re: I'm free!

TBH I do not know if it would run on my XP PC, which was built just before Windows 7 was released (so XP was the current version of Windows at the time), but it is a quad core 4GB and thinks it is embedded.

Perhap it way, perhaps MS should offer a checking tool.

Dumping Harrier == huge mistake

Possibly this governments biggest fail.

Should be OK

Martin Baker ejection seat.

Pilots trust them

Re: excellent

Just name him and let the upset Xmas parents deal with him

Re: Banking

According to the team behind it, it did work but management panicked.

The tilting Voyagers use the APT system

The Fiat Pendadildos originally used screw jacks but now use APT technology.

Basically the APT technology was sucessfull.

And I got the details from the source

My British made & designed car has the indicators on the left.

Re: Good luck Dave

Unfortunately Clegg will be wiped out at the elections by idiots who cannot think for themselves

Re: Oh not again

Pestrians

Well I have hit two, both THEIR fault.

One stepped off the kerb into the road, he got a sore arm from my mirror, was not looking, luckily I was going quite slow as the road was narrow.

Next literally walked off the pavement and walked into the side of my car!
