titular things

@AC: This is precisely the reason I've not said a word about it until now.

Anyway, I'm going to shut up now and contemplate things. This could actually be bad.....

titular reminiscence

What about when PC's were starting to be noticed by the high street retailer?

Alter AUTOEXEC.BAT to echo swears in a loop, reboot and stand nearby giggling whilst the salesdroid panicked :D

Oh, and it was always dixons we did this in as the salesdroids were usually occupied trying to sell people extended warranties...

titular option

That would be the Shadow of the Beast, not to be confused with SEGA's Altered Beast.

IIRC the level even had a parody of the SotB theme playing in the background, I'll have to pull out my A1200 to check.

titular nonsense

Good job I have a guitar to help fend off the threat then, isn't it?

Now I'm feeling old :D

titular thingy

Now, now. There's no need to make light of a serious episode in our history.

Unity is an abomination and should be treated as such.

titular revision

@P Saunders:

So explain to me why the indigenous population were deliberately given smallpox infected blankets then.

Here's a clue:- David Barton is not a historian.

titular amusement

Ah yes, the good old days of hedgerow grumble :)

Also, what ever happened to white dog turds?

titular admonishment

Upvoted because I agree.

However, the use of the phrase "I've brought PC's" is really annoying. It should be bought, not brought and I don't think you mean PC as possesive either.

My whole Wi-Fi is off, actually, I was posing a hypothetical question.

There are some people out there who don't know what they're doing, and I'm not one of them ;)

titular blurtings

You do realise how precisely they can position the bird?

titular frothy mix

Not intended as a factual statement

titular correction

I think you'll find it's No. 1 - The Larch

/me shakes head at all of the upvotes...

titular advisory

Also cellphones were an instrumentation problem, not a fire problem. For the same reason that using them on planes was frowned upon.

titular disenoblement

Also numb-nuts should be hyphenated.

When there is the slightest smell of fascism, the (grammar-) nazis will appear.

titular thingy

His cover of the theme to Capcom's Commando is particularly awesome, as is his Chicken Song medley.

Time to dig out my HVSC and have a listen :)

Memories....

titular disenoblement

Only a month? I would have thought it would be when DNF gets released.

Wait, what was that? DNF was released?

I want HL Ep 3 and HL 3 now, k :)

tituler disnoblement

"putting sugar instead of sweetener in a cup of coffee."

I can certainly tell if there is sugar in my coffee instead of sweetner. It has a sticky texture and a totally different flavour for one.

titular thingy

Layered chips are already here. Apple use it and have a patent on their particular process, and flash memory cards have an ARM processor for wear balancing layered with the flash wafer.

titular thing

Probably because they would remove the functionality with a Kernel update. That way any exploits gleaned with a debugger wouldn't work right away, and without the debugger it would be more difficult to make them work. Not impossible, just more difficult.

titular upgrade

iirc, aren't Microsoft legally bound to not enter the UNIX market?

titular memories

Amiga for the purist, most definitely. Must dig out my Amiga, I have a WHDLoad install of it raedy to play :)

titular advisement

As the Viz Profanisaurus defines it:

Lemonparty (n): Something you probably don't want to type into Google image search with the safe search filter disabled.

titular thingy

Freedom of Speech does not give you immunity from the consequences of that speech.

titular amusement

the _really_ serious problem would be inserting song and dance numbers about "jigaboos"....

Where's the "Not racist, just quoting from....." icon when you need it ;)

titular musings

Probably because your average windows user can't afford apple products?

titular cnut anagram

You put the 'D' in ick.

Words are words, language is language. It should be celebrated for it's diversity rather than being censored.

titular announcement

BURN THEM! BURN THEM ALL!
