Maybe for you mate.

Texas graverobbers 'used skull to smoke dope'

That's really not fair!

"He regurgitated in his plate of food when I asked him about it. So I knew there was some truth to the story."

Hardly. I think anyone would puke if told a story like that while eating their lunch. But I struggle to understand why anyone would 'fess up to something as awful as that without confrontation. It's like boasting you gave oral sex to your granny. And I would never do that.

Minister: Waste wood is 'huge potential resource'

The wheel comes full circle?

So we've all been going wrong by filling in those fireplaces and installing central heating? Bring back the steam trains I say! And Jenny Agutter.

New banking code cracks down on out-of-date software

Keep your PC secure

What does it say about Macs? I don't have any AV software on my Mac, and I'm not so stupid that I need anti-phishing software.

Transgender man prepares to give birth

If it looks like duck...

and quacks like a duck...then it's a duck!

IBM gets back into PCs

Highly competitive alternative to Microsoft?

Does this mean they will be shipping with PC-DOS or OS/2?

Geordie cops arrest two for Wi-Fi squatting

How is that dishonest?

Did they have to hack the encryption or was it left wide open? If it was wide open, what was dishonest about it? By that token you could apply the same "dishonestly obtaining communication services" to anyone stepping into a public phone box.

I'm intrigued to know how they got found out though.

Get yourself an air rifle Mike. Cheaper than a Mosquito and *loads* more fun.

Glaswegian piracy drive yields just 41 'possible' offenders

That's nice

"...The campaign was all about getting to know the SMB community in Glasgow better..."

And I'm sure that's a relationship they will come to treasure in the years ahead. We're already compiling our 2008 Christmas card list and I'll be sure to include Julie Strawson. In fact, Julie, if you're reading this, let's do lunch. Your place or mine?

US military prepares for plummeting spy satellite

Oh, my aching sides

"...a worldwide network of hobbyists who track satellites for recreation..."

I'm wiping the tears from my eyes. Thank you for that laugh, you've brightened my mid-week.

Pirate Bay hits ten million peers, one million torrents

That's an interesting quote...

"and also leads to, making copyright protected material available"

Of course. Isn't all content 'copyright protected'? My home movies are copyright protected. Even if I choose to share them with the world via PirateBay, the copyright is still mine. Or does this guy think that copyright law now only resides with the big labels?

Driller Killer unleashed on UK public

Q.E.D.

How can anyone who says "...attitudes change, and what was then problematic is not problematic now..." say in the next breath that there's "...no evidence the films caused harm to viewers"?

Our jaded viewing palates and screen boredom that now makes this material worth viewing is clear evidence that decades of bombardment *are* causing harm. Just look at the success of Big Brother!
