Neo-Nazi forum hacked

Hans, are we the baddies?

Any sensible person knows one thing - Surf Nazis Must Die.

And as far as I'm concerned, anybody who believes fluffy minded cultural relativism can be applied to Nazis is an idiot, end of. We saw "ethnic cleansing" less than 10 years ago in Kosovo, and that was just a pale imitation of what Nazis did, and would do again given the chance. Nazis need to be confronted head on and pounded into the dust, all day, every day, for ever. Firm but firm, thats me all over...

Union takes IBM outsourcing case to employment tribunal

Turkey/Christmas

Local authorities cosying up to outsource behemoths - its management ignoramii cannibalising their own staff.I'm so sick of this. I'm supposed to be embracing the concept of "one cornwall" in April, but I'm absolutely convinced by the hopeless efforts so far that the entire thing will be an epic fail. Canada or New Zealand? UK = complete waste of effort....what a waste...

Eurofighter at last able to drop bombs, but only 'austerely'

What does a trough-muncher have to do to get fired?

Seriously, how shit at their jobs do they have to be before they get taken out and shot?

HP pays $13.9bn for EDS

Home,home on the range...

I don't want to insinuate that EDS are cowboys, but I've personally seen them go live for large govt dept , on the day some whitehall mandarin came to visit, with no trained staff , no PC build, and, in fact -no pcs or phones on the desk....well, you get the picture. Sharp exits all round - HP, what are you thinking you clowns? Michael Dell will be laughing his nuts off -and good luck to him!!!

Were the snatched Brit sailors in 'disputed waters'?

arse backwards

has anyone wondered how funny it would be if the Iranians parked a frigate half way across the Channel and boarded the odd cross channel ferry? It might finally put Eurotunnel into profit....

Vista SP1 on track for mid-March release?

The end is nigh...

Does anyone REALLY care anymore? I've already decided XP is the last Muppetsoft OS I'm ever going to us without a gun to my head, and I've officially lost interest in Vista, the desperate follow up to Vista, and the undoubted last gasp that will follow it a year later. Does anyone here intend to be PAYING for an OS that doesn't work 5 years from now? Thought not...
