Euro cops cuff 112 in paedophile network raids

Would you want an organ from a paedophile in you? I think not.

Alan Davies
Unhappy

I'd take a guess and say that the amount of child porn found, was the size of the hard drives recovered. Some poor bastard is going to have to wade through and work out the finer details for an official report.

Is Angry Birds 2 a Fox film spin-off?

Wii Fit to hit UK in April

Alan Davies

comment

The Wii Balance board is perfect for 2 player Time Crisis, one half of the board per person. Tony Hawks might even be in the pipeline, though IMHO, they suck big time. Personally I'm dripping with anticipation at the thought of playing Mario Kart Wii as I've played MKDD and the DS version to death.

Billg quits Facebook

Alan Davies

I can relate to that

I know how Bill feels. I get about 30 friend requests a day.

Cigarette ash proves a drag for Nintendo's Wii

Alan Davies

Methinks

The problems is that SSMB is one of the first dual layer discs that Nintendo have released, as with such a huge demand for the game, maybe the production was rushed and Nintendo are trying to cover their mistake? Admittedly Ninty are offering free repairs if you send your Wii, the game and proof of purchase.

The HMRC can wait!

I want my pay rise out of EDS first!

Joke icon because expecting a pay rise out of EDS is a joke.

@ Anonymous Coward

I probably fit into category a. I know Notes is bad, I've supported it since Notes 4! Still it give me something to do whilst I while away the hours until I clock off.

@Dave Badger (!)

Shame. I like discussing the annoyance of Notes.

Alan Davies

@ Anonymous Coward

I'd suggest using Notes 8 rather then Notes 6. It's significantly better and you may even have something positive to say about it.

Saying that Notes is basically a glorified spreadsheet, and we all like spreadsheet don't we?

The Dark Knight - 2008's biggest movie?

Alan Davies

What the deuce!

Hellboy II at number 11?!?!?!

Alan Davies

My 2p

I can't believe that No Country For Old Men is at number 47! Iron Man and Bond will be worthy of an expensive cinema ticket.

You didn't ask, but the worst films this year are going to be http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/postal/trailer/ and http://www.meetthespartans.com

You've got to hand it to him . . .

I'm just amazed that he just knuckled down and cut his arm off. I'm surprised his wife didn't give him the elbow or the cold shoulder after what happened . . .

Sorry

My XDA has upgraded, you need to use IE to download the update :-o)

Alan Davies

02 Customer Support

I've just called 02 and have been told that the site is not working (really??) and that it should be fixed within a month. Apparently my serial number doesn't exist! I asked if 02 planned in taking down the site whilst this maintenance was being carried out. I got no response.

I'm curious to how anyone else has been able to upgrade their phone, or were you one of the lucky ones?

Police deploy thin Bluetooth line

Alan Davies

Why no pants?

I always thought that you could send contact details over Bluetooth, without the recipient having to accept your message. I do it all the time to people on public transport, I send them contact details using the name "Why no pants!"

BBC shows Olympic logo the door

Alan Davies

Is this the 80's?

That crappy logo wouldn't look out of place on a bedroom wall in a John Hughes film.

Rome's atmosphere shows signs of cocaine

Return to Rome please!

I for one cannot wait for the next enthralling installment of Big Brother. I'll be surprised if any news of any national importance reaches the front page of the nations daily papers in the forthcoming months. I'm thankful that it only last for what seems like 40 weeks. /sarcasm

Scientology tries to discredit BBC documentary

Alan Davies

Re: Bittorrent or BBC America

It's already available on some UK torrent sites, not that I would encourage this.

As we all know downloading TV shows is against some kind of law and would probably result in the offenders in being hydrogen bombed or something equally wacky.

Good Points

There are some particularly good points there, but any educated PC owner would disable the indexing service and install Google Desktop.
