Minecraft

So, how many of these can run Minecraft?

thefutureboy

?

I'm surprised Russell Brand had enough spare time to come up with a flexi-keyboard.

Typeface discussion on El Reg is like a speed camera discussion on a motoring forum. Or like a speed camera discussion on El Reg for that matter...

Hands on?

For about 10 seconds to take a few shots and then just write up the rest from the press release?

Re: Top Flying!

Hmmmmm, have I been duped then? Looks likely... :-(

Top Flying!

How seriously cool is that!

There can be only one

Highlander 2.

Why oh why, in the name of all that is pure and holy, why?

Re: Clearly flawed

Not to mention those of us who *know* we are comedians.

thefutureboy

So...

...that'll be at least another fiver on top of the ticket price.

Coat

I've been thinking (can you smell burning?)

So...add a second coat and it will be 100x better again! A few more coats and we'll only need one aerial for the whole of the world.

Mine's the two thin coats please, not the thick one.

thefutureboy

I wonder...

...how long it took the photographers to :

a) Catch a bamboo shark

b) Find a carpet shark

c) Stuff one into the other

I'm sure Photoshop would've been quicker.

thefutureboy

Tax?

Isn't the amount of import duty greater for a TV with a tuner rather than a monitor?

I for one...

...welcome our Nazi prehistoric zombie-making virus overlords.

thefutureboy
Boffin

I don't get it...

...if he wanted Greedo to shoot first in the first place why didn't he film it that way in the first place?

thefutureboy

No...

He said he was going back to art house film making so Howard the Duck 2 must be his first project.

ALLAHU AKBAHR

Isn't he that fish-like-looking general in Star Wars?

I see what you did there!

Very good! :-)

Thoroughly nice

Glad to see you read the article first. Oh wait, you didn't.

BF3 & MW3 = FPS.

The other eight games <> FPS.

Cheers! It was a good story but not so good I'd want to *pay* for it...

I remember!

There was an excellent article in .EXE magazine (remember that people?) by your own delightful Verity Stob, about playing Lemmings and then breaking into the office to complete a level having dreamt of the solution? Any chance of a link? Can't find it on Google...

thefutureboy

Camp? Camp?

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Parfait's gotta be the most delicious thing on the whole damn planet!

Down side...

The down side of this ruling is the new found legality of allowing matches to be shown at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon. Currently no live matches may be shown at that time so as to not discourage football fans from attending lower league football by giving them the opportunity to watch 'better' football. This will no longer be the case.

Whilst on the phone spelling something, my wife rather splendidly used:

Doh!

I thought I was on to a winner with this. They've just resurfaced my road so digging some of it up for fibre laying looked to be a dead cert but alas no.

WTF?

What?

No one posting a comment about how much better the Xbox360/Gaming PC/Wii/iPhone/Amiga/ZX81* is? I am disappointed.

Looks good!

That Spiderpodium thingy looks like just what I need for a universal mount for my Desire. Have a thumb! ;-)

Pinhead?

Looking at that picture, has he encountered a strange alien race of head shrinkers?

And away we go!

Cue the "Speeding Is Bad v Oh No It's Not" argument.

"Lumi – the fist human born in space"

I'm not sure I want to know how they were conceived...

Further question having seen the picture

Are those safety specs she is wearing or did she arrive on a motorbike?

thefutureboy

Does the opposite for me too

When I eat I forget to play video games.

Blur

They have blurred the faces of all kids but not the adults.

I assume this is to protect kids who may have removed from abusive families and taken to safer places to live.

War! War never changes...or does it?

War!

War never changes. or does it?

The war has changed. Did it? The answer is no, unless it is yes!

No, of course it is. is war...yes? No?! Yes?!

And the soldier who shot Bin Laden will have got instant promotion to Sergeant of the Master Sergeants Most Important Person of Extreme Sergeant to the MAX!

thefutureboy

Hmmmmm

Something using dates I reckon hence at the bottom of one page is:

D-W-M-Y (day, week, month, year) followed by MIL which obviously means MILLENNIUM

There is also 71, 74 and 75 on the other page, which probably mean something really important....maybe....errr....dunno...

I think he was concerned with the panic over the Millennium Bug and was about to spill the beans when someone bumped 'im orf.

Boffin

Ah, I see!

"When we made the original decision [to charge], the image was provided to us on disc. The defence requested details of where the image was on the computer and when the computer was checked, the image was no longer there. In light of that, we felt we could no longer go ahead with the case."

The old "Cut & Paste" rather than "Copy & Paste" mistake I'll wager.

That's working well then...

...as I received my Starbucks ad when I was 3 miles from the nearest town that has said establishment. Obviously I did seriously consider the offer so tempting that maybe I should rush to the nearest Starbucks but managed to talk myself down.

Size of an elephant!

Doesn't there need to be a standard size for books?

Maybe something like 10 Mills & Boon = 1 War & Peace

Errr.....no.

Personally I'd rather see the country go to hell in a handbasket before I start wearing chunky arran sweaters, sandals with socks, a large woolly beard and listening to scrawny folk singers singing "Hey nonny nonny" with a finger in their ear.

Or should I read the article before commenting?

BMW

There may not be specific laws covering BMWs but the drivers seem to have their own rules considering the use of indicators. So much so, for a long time, I was under the impression that indicators were an optional extra on BMWs.
