Honey, hive had it with this drone: Couple lived for years with thousands of bees in bedroom wall

None of your beeswax, said Guerrero

Re: What about oil production?

There are initiatives for converting lorries to run on hydrogen, some of them have come quite far: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=no&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tu.no%2Fartikler%2Fstrom-fra-lagertaket-lager-hydrogen-til-lastebilene%2F346707&edit-text=

Imprisoned Norwegian mass murderer says PlayStation 2 is 'KILLING HIM'

Re: Execute the bastard

> He's a psychopath

No, he's not, at least not in legal terms. The court found him to be sane, and treated him accordingly. If he was found to be insane, he would not have been in prison, but in a mental institution.

(That's not to say that in more common terms, he is surely nuts)

Re: He previously complained bitterly about the lack of hand lotion.

Wow. Any sources for this information?

Look under Settings -> Phone -> SIM applications.

The Cube: Apple's daftest, strangest romance

OK, the cube was great ...

... but not as great as the iMac G4, if you ask me. Now that was a piece truly awesome design - without any of the cube's flaws.

Why did Apple abandon that design for the G5 and subsequent iMacs?

Bad guys always use PCs

AFAIK, the same was the case in the first season of '24'. The baddest bad guy was a PC user, everyone else used Macs.

Crime investigators all over the world should take note of this fact.
