Currently trying out

A free 1 month trial of lovefilm stream-only with the intention of watching on my xbox.

Totally agree with what you're saying. The range is.. weak. I'm checking how much they're adding as it's a young service, so far about 15 titles a week.

I'm not much of a film buff, but only 3% of the titles on there are recognisable as 'big films'.

Also struggling to find films that are less than 5 years old.

If it has it's full dvd catalogue available for streaming by January, I'll keep subbing, but right now it's very much a trial and forget affair.

Find a review under 50%

I'd hope that anything being reviewed as a TV actually IS a TV. There's not been a TV review under 50% this year. What's the point in using a score out of 100 if it's only out of 50?

If they're all high quality, those missing 50 percentage points will show their use.

Sitting amongst the flowers and leaks

I guess you've not experienced how fickle Silverlight is to code with, particularly when it comes to memory management.

Hang on..

Surprised this is reported on the register (in a serious manner anyway). It's only news to the masses who think they will get 24mbps internet guaranteed, and if they dont, it's because they need a new computer.

Though what you say about living near a university building or business district confuses me, particularly the former.

Are you actually saying that students don't use much bandwidth?

Fantasy mmo settings?

Oh really?

Not sure how or why i consider some sci fi to have more scientific basis than others, but star wars is firmly entrenched in fantasy other than the droids.

Did it have planes?

http://xkcd.com/927/ This is relevant as ever.

SI not IS.

Systéme Internationale d'unités.

The accent does it.

Windmills over every hill in the land? that wont do. Might injure some birds or something.

*goes to sit in the dark*

Actually

It is free in the UK. Go on http://store.steampowered.com/app/400/ and you'll see it just has the option to Install rather than purchase. Beneath it is the orange box, portal bundle and valve complete pack which arent free.

They've not displayed it particularly well admittedly.

Grab it while you can.

Appreciated?

Here! Take this crisp fiver for 2 hours work.

analogy time

I'd think them losing their CEO now would be horrific timing. Yet another restructure and change in direction? Not what they really need.

Akin to splashing and floundering in water rather than doing backstroke, even if it is into a pool of jellyfish.

Oh come on!

Didn't you watch Independence Day?

Hackers will one day save the world.
