Hmm, I'm sorely tempted :P

Re: if you wanna see what hardcore censorship looks like, check out this shocking example:

Wow, I saw that comments section before it was annexed - I don't recall there being too much worth deleting (the odd - 'he's guilty of a crime therefore should so the time wank') but nothing particularly libelous - just opinions.

Re: Better idea

or were you referring to the spin-off music show?

@Ignazio

I know a plumber in Essex who you wouldn't want to try this with.

Apart from being a really nice guy, he can single handedly remove a cast iron bath, getting it through doorways etc. with even putting it down.

He is also capable of some very good tricks. I still have his number for 'advice' when I get into bother :)

Re: @Mayhem

thanks for the link, that was most....illuminating.

Re: Double Standards

The markets are all about greed and fear. If you feel neither, you can take a consistent profit from those that do.

Shorting isn't wrong, it's no different from buying shares and then selling them. We are talking about trading here, not investments - totally different ballgame.

This guy got greedy.

Re: AssangeTM & Icke

Have you read his books? One of them was sitting on the shelf for years unread, so I decided to have a look. Apart from the really way-out stuff like lizards, it was remarkably prescient as to our current circumstances in the Western world.

Makes you wonder about the 'other' stuff too.

Re: Sounds like....

"sounds like someone's jealous and insecure!"

Sounds more like a piss-take troll to me

Re: Suprised why?

Well, we live in Wales now, so I'm constantly scanning the side of the road for laybys where she can drop her kegs and piss on her boots :D

Sounds like a typical "if your not with us you against us" type of speech.Which is very hypocritical to assume your actually 100% correct without at least a debate with those it would affect and I mean a debate not a "we listened to your concerns but we still think we are right" type of judgment.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Re: RROD

I thought I was supposed to be able to edit my posts? Anyway, forgot to agree with you about the jetfan - I've taken to using it with 5.1 headphones

Re: Hmm...

If there's one thing worse than a touch screen for attracting unwanted liquids, it's a retina display.

How many times have I had to scream "GET YOUR FUCKING EYEBALLS OFF MY COMPUTER!"

Get your own pr0n.

Re: Stop the cherry picking

Here is the quote:

Dr. Peter Stott, Head of Climate Monitoring and Attribution at the Met Office, said: "Although the first decade of the 21st century was the warmest on record, warming has not been as rapid since 2000 as over the longer period since the 1970s.

"This variability in global temperatures is not unusual, with several periods lasting a decade or more with little or no warming since the instrumental record began. We are investigating why the temperature rise at the surface has slowed in recent years, including how ocean heat content changes and the effects of aerosols from atmospheric pollution may have influenced global climate."

There does appear to be some emphasis indicating that a 10 year period of warming isn't that unusual, whilst accepting that there is still some warming going on. Unless I'm misreading it, he is saying that the rate of warming is decreasing and they are looking into why that might be - because it certainly isn't due to a reduced amount of CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere is it?

Re: "The need to redesign corporate defences, according to Trend Micro."

"Crikey, how many smileys"

I propose a new code to signify that the whole post is intended with a grin..

There, that looks nice and obvious :)

Re: A Current Wwworldly Problem for Wiser Sage Solution

Hmm, someone who tries to highlight an uncomfortable truth is insinuated as being schizo.

Same shit, same day. We live in the groundhog world.

Sir

So, let me try and understand your poll.

If we think he's a twat and downvoted him for complimenting Andrew and Lewis, we down vote your post.

Otherwise..

We downvote your post if we didn't like the fact he suggested AGW shouldn't be questioned?

Hmm, my logic circuits suggest <kzzzttfnnct!!sptpt..whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......> error.

Re: im guessing you are far younger than my 39 years...

you could only get out of witchspace if you had enough hyperspace fuel left to jump to a nearby system, or have a galactic hyperjump - which meant all your missions were screwed

Elite.The hard way.

Re: But..

Haven't you seen the documentary of Hangar Apollo 18 ?

Re: Get one at home?

I have to tether my blackberry to my wi-fi network which then connects to an Orange UMA server, albeit intermittantly , it does the job since I get zero bars where I live.

The only problem is that my wife's phone isn't compatable. which sucks. so something like one of these pico cells would be a good idea for me.

Re: Slowly raises hand at the back of the class

Thanks Stoneshop, there's a stack of labels over there that need labelling, in the drawer marked labels :)
