It may have been a poor joke.
It may have gone over your head.
Did it warrant a snide remark from the moderator?
Cue fawning fanboys voting me down.
@Chrome
You do know that most modern desktop motherboards currently on sale still have PS/2 ports on them?
I'm only here for the
flamewar, keep it up lads. :)

"Unfortunately, it's ultimately a FAIL because UbiSoft are involved."
It will probably snap your strings if you lose internet connection.

"Lord Oakeshott: make banks declare corporation tax. £113m of corporation tax in 2009 des...pite reporting profits of £11.6bn."
Barclays 249 offshore subsidiaries exist for a reason.
When paying your tax just remember the mantra:
We're all in this together. :D
Playboy Mansion
So all the techies were in Silicone Valley?
Correct me if I'm wrong
But it was a debit card and not a credit card. So I'm assuming age restrictions may be different?
@Andrew Smith 1
"It seems that Liverpool Council have missed the point."
Do you remember "Care In The Community", and how well that worked?
To me "Big Society" is the same with a different buzzword for a name.

I was just happy when it didn't crash my PC.

"Surely the druggies would have taste tested the ashes first and realised their mistake?"
LOL just LOL. Maybe you should watch a little less television.
Bit of a role reversal though.
Man sniffs dog, I wonder which one sniffed the doggies wotsits. :D

I say, whatever floats your boat.

Stolen to order

Re: Prortugal
Do you mean all those UK airports that are owned by Spain's Ferrovial?

After looking at the photographs I came to the conclusion that the above description was a joke.
It was, wasn't it?
Look at it another way
iPhone users are more likely to catch a dose.
Re: Statistics are like mini skirts...
"they give you good ideas but hide the most important parts"
Not when it's windy in central London, and especially not if they are wearing a thong underneath.
And it is not always a pleasant sight.
@Defiant
You do know that for the best part of the last century the UK telephone network was state (GPO) owned and subsidised?
Up until the eighties when Thatcher gave it away for a fraction of its value.

How much is it going to cost me
to get something as reliable as this?

Almost 37 years old, used near enough every single day of those 37 years and the only fault is a broken telescopic aerial. Cost me £55 back in 1973 ish.
Does anyone even make consumer electronics these days that will last till 2047?
Posted in Clegg promises liberties restoration
Good as this all sounds
It's still all talk until it actually happens.
I've also got a nagging feeling that we're being softened up for the bad news that is sure to come in the very near future.

But I'm sure some smug Unix user will be along shortly.

Actually it was Monday on my local high street.
Game Station and Computer Exchange.
Don't you have those out in the sticks?
Posted in Steam rushes from Valve onto Macs
A question for Steam lovers
Can you sell your legitimately bought games on the used/secondhand market?
@Interesting
Maybe because Gary McKinnon is Scottish?

Lib Dem ploy
One Shed to rule them all, One Shed to find them,
One Shed to bring them all and in their solace bind them.
On the plus side
It's nice and quiet here with nothing flying overhead as it comes into land at Heathrow.

"Or are you one of those Londoners who thinks the world ends at the M25, and the "national communication infrastructure" is 20 miles across?"
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. Always thought it ended at the north circular.
