"Pretty much all the boxes ticked, then"

... then what about duplex or the lack of it ? Is this too much of an advanced or "green" option to mention it ?

Ryanair trades blows with 'idiot blogger'

Management leads the way.

"Our people are far too busy driving down the cost of air travel".

He meant "our staff is cutting down on politeness". At all level apparently.

Brit, French nuke subs collide - fail to 'see' each other

The Sun was there...not.

"He said she had returned to Faslane "under her own power", contradicting the Sun report."

The Sun was elsewhere, checking the other sub that Jeremy Clarkson and his team had to push to its dock.

'Miracle' plane crash was no miracle

Plains are no speed boats.

Anyone that has seen speed boats get a few bumps and desintegrate can imagine all that could have gone wrong with a plane that's not designed to glide on water. Training might have helped, but ask the pilot if he wasn't lucky. Stupid article, I must say. What's your point ?

Go tell the Concorde pilot, the one that crashed in a hotel in 2000, two minutes after take off, go tell him he simply was'nt trained enough. Oh sorry, he's dead.

iPlayer chief pushes tiered charging for ISPs

You need HighDef...

...only to realize HD is only adding ~0.1% to the pleasure you get from watching any TV program. It's the content that matters. HD is a scam. You'll find out when you get it.

Firm touts anti-radiation chip for phones

Baby it's cold outside.

1. Take the 1st picture,

2. have a 5 minutes phone call

3. take the 2nd picture

4. go out for 5 minutes, today is a good day for this

5. take the 3rd picture. My nose is a bit colder than at (1.) but my skin looks ok.

Fives years of research? Amateurs.

Mine is the one that shows blue on the thermal scan when it's snowing.

Armed anti-paedophile cops swoop on video site uploader

It's been there for YEARS !

I'm pretty sure I've seen this video more than 6 years ago. The baby's way of smiling was so weird that I think the whole video was a fake and that's the only way it would have been remotely funny.

Beeb to cut the f**king swearing

Nigella

So nobody at the BBC got it when he told Nigella Lawson she was "#1 on his list of MILFs" a year ago ?

Flanders demands its own top-level domain

just preparing

"Prime minister Peeters told the BBC this week he is not in favour of independence"

He's not Prime minister, he's Miniter President of the Flemish Community.

He's not in favour, he's just preparing it.

They went to govern the country with an openly separatist party, and 15 months later (yes), they realized (...shock !) it wouldn't work. Quick, let's change the subject with a global economical crisis.

Boy band sings praises of Windows 7

Name of the band ?

N.K.O.T.B.S.O.D.

oops, suddenly those 3 last letters get a life of their own.

Mayor Boris serves Governator cold revenge

Behave.

Arnold's comment wasn't much of an dissing IMHO, it was just a bit amazement. Boris "el polar bear loco" should know better and concentrate on the serious issues. Unless he was elected just for being funny.

'I can see dinosaurs from my back porch'

Religion is only theory as well.

Religion IS a theory. Proof is there are many. And this IS the view of the modern church. Catholics, Muslims, Budists, you name them, they're all respectable because in the quest of the the same truth.

Therefor none of those religion can be handled like "the truth", only as therories. I like to define religion not as a belief but as an introduction to God. And the introduction is never the important part of the book. So get over it. Evolve.

Pub toilet todger tiff ends in bloodbath

must feel sorry

For those who died.

And for those wo feel so insecure about their short d* that they have to keep guns in their boot to protect their... honour ?

Nuns face off in online beauty contest

Fame !

Best 12 contestants will appear in Michelangelo's calendar.

Rude Tintin pulls out

Tintin, not for pervs, not for children either.

Nick Rodwell manages Herge's estate like a pitbull, trying to transform it into some posh concept and squeeze the most money of it he can of royalties. He's alienated all the comics world and Tintins friends in Belgium. He's not really loved. Nothing new.

Cannibal's legal objection hamstrings German horror film

IT angle ?

Oh yes, that story was featured in an episode of the "IT Crowd" as well. He must have missed it.

Ohio table-shag man gets six months

The economic angle

Would it be legal to open an "Escort Tables" agency? Just shake them to get a table dance. Add it a bikini to get a Pool Table. Hum.

EU IT commissariat has lightbulb moment over green IT

make rules ... for others.

If those 10 thousands of civil servants would turn off their PCs and lights when they leave the office at night, that would save us a bit of carbon emission as well. But who cares, it's not their money.

India and Belgium decry Chinese cyber attacks

Ensuring the Olympics by blackmail

Or are they trying to find compromizing material on the IOC's president's computer ?

Poland's ex-PM condemns online polling

get a what ?

"I am not an enthusiast of a young person sitting in front of a computer, watching video clips and pornography while sipping a bottle of beer and voting when he feels like it,"

Not far from reality. I'm glad to be born late enough to miss that. Social life is so 20st century.

Man webcams butt in Burnout Paradise prang rage

@dervheid

I'm presuming, that if the kid's father saw the offending "Arsehole", he was there.

Such a small article, you could have read it before commenting.

I bet the kid had seen tons of horrors before thanks to the webcam but never told his parents.

Vote now for your fave sci-fi movie quote

AYBABTU.

"Al your base are belong to us !" Ok it's not a movie but still a (sort of) legend. And yes, Bill could almost say it with his monopoly.

Vista vs XP performance: Some informal tests

@Sheriff Lobo and his confusion.

Michael is in fact wrong ... and you prove it."Vista is 70% slower than XP" does NOT mean "it takes Vista 70% more time to complete a task", it means "Vista's speed is 30% of XP" so it is 3 times slower. Point.

If my car goes 50% slower than yours (ie you go 100 and I go 50), it doesn't take me 50% more time to do the same distance, it takes me 100% more time (200% of your time).

Hence if I was 70% slower, my speed would be 30% of your, it'd take me 333% of your time and makes you more than 3 times faster.
