Hehe

I love the dripping sarcasm. You have to wonder who hires these idiots to state the obvious for cash.

@Geoff Johnson

You not being able to use Iceweasel for online banking without a user-agent switcher is not the fault of Debian - it's the fault of your bank. If they had techies that weren't so incompetent, you'd be able to access it in anything.

Gimme!

Been waiting for this for ages! GIMMEH!

Awww, it won't start. :-(

Whoop

Would have used Shiretoko on a daily basis, but I needed my plugins. Looking forward to this.

Rollocks

"the fact that it made reference to a band popular with young people"

Got to get the kiddies in there somewhere. If you want to win an argument these days, just tell everyone how you're doing it for the kids.

Twunt.

@Dan

I was wondering this! How the hell is any of this admissible in court?

@Hazel Rees

"As a Goth Dominatrix I have my own corset & whip."

You have my attention.

It's still too feckin' expensive, that's why

I like Blu-ray. I would like to make my future purchases in Blu-ray. Am I going to pay twenty five feckin' quid for each one? Get stuffed! So only the films I really care about are going to arrive on BD.

*Splutter*

From their oh-so-objective and not-even-slightly-a-lie comparison chart:

" Internet Explorer 8 is more compatible with more sites on the Internet than any other browser. "

*Cough* *Splutter* *Coffee*

I'm sorry, say that again please. I'll try to keep a straight face this time.

Hardware keyboard, hardware keyboard, hardware keyboard

Touchscreen keyboards are SHITE. I hate using smartphones that have them. That's why I like the G1 and its hardware keyboard, even if it is wee. My old MDA and my current Athena also have hardware keyboards. They're much nicer to use.

I was going to pass on the G1 and wait for one with a few more features and better battery life, but now...

Western impartiality on Iranian elections?

Hah!

While I appreciate the events and sentiments in Iran, I don't doubt for a second that we're getting a very one-sided view of these results. Does this really come as a surprise?

Middle managers earn too much

So people who earn more spend more on crap/overpriced gadgets? Say it ain't so!

@Jon

Have they actually "banned" it, or have all the teams basically said "sod that"?

@Ben Bradley

Don't be facetious. Firefox as a whole isn't a massive download, and you know full well that profile folders are separate, so upgrading almost never affects your settings. I share the same Firefox profile folder across different operating systems, never mind different versions. Works just fine.

@Mac Phreak

Surprised you've had bad experiences with HTC devices. My current HTC PDA has proven utterly indestructible many times over. And my old HTC PDA, whilst buggy on the software side, was totally immune to damage. And by "damage," I don't mean "thrown onto the bed a lot" - I mean more along the lines of "dropped on concrete a lot."

Eh?

How can a *two word* bunch of marketing shite made up by a man that wanted to sell more books be considered a word anyway?

Disgusting

Why don't we make the children afraid of adults, each other, hell, the entire world. Get them used to doing whatever the police say in order to thwart teh ev1l t3rr0rists.

And Guy Fawkes was not a terrorist.

That's FOI dead then...

Nice loophole for people to exploit, there.

ext4 is fine on my server

Yeah, I said server. As the app points out, the issues occur in software that's not using the proper calls. I'm not running any of that software, and my server boots so fast it's scary. Also using it on a workstation and my laptop. Not had any problems at all, only benefits.

Either not the actual cracker, or not a good one

It looks like a skiddy, it talks like a skiddy... I think there's a possibility we *are* giving them too much credit.
