Yank walks plank over Liverpool fan email

M Brown

Well

For me, it's not just football that I hate (I'd find more fun in watching the grass grow on the pitch). It's the knuckle dragging neanderthals that seem to gravitate towards it. Grown men beating the hell out of each other just because they happen to run into a person who supports the opposing team. Pathetic.

Give me a PC any day, because I'd rather have one of my defining characteristics as intelligence rather than an in bred common thug.

Woman jailed for texting while driving

M Brown

Shame

Such a crying shame it wasn't her that was killed and no-one else. 3 Years driving ban and 21 months jail time? What a joke, if it was a knife that was used as the murder weapon and not a car she would get a hell of a lot more.

Firefox record breaker sets the date

M Brown

Anti sheep

Makes me laugh so much the people who all of a sudden have to like Opera. I would like to bet these are the same people who were all over FF when that wasn't as widely used and was the alternative to IE for the 'cool' crowd. Now that FF has hit it's popularity, people have to jump to the next 'underground' browser, ie Opera until that becomes too widely used. Pathetic

Sony says yes to in-game PS3 adverts

M Brown

re: re: Paid Xbox Live, "free" PSN...

But those adverts are there regardless of whether or not you're on Xbox Live. Plus they are only adverts for other games and peripherals, not household adverts.

So yeah, bring on the paid for Live over PS3 any day.

Vista security credentials tarnished in malware survey

M Brown
Stop

*listens to the sound of distant rumbles*

Hmm what could that be? Oh wait, its the stampede of bandwagoners to come and have a go at Vista because they'd rather be seen dead than like a Microsoft product by their like minded peers..... cause you know, Bill Gates is the absolute anti christ, and I often get the impression that he is worse than Hitler to a lot of IT folk round here

Texas man tries to cash $360bn cheque

M Brown

UK or US?

Are we talking UK billion or US billion? If I'm not mistaken, or billion (UK) is one more zero

eBay software faker jailed for ten months

M Brown
Happy

Haha

Class tagline. First one that made me audibly laugh in ages. This reminds me of that kid selling things on eBay that he didn't evan have.

Guitar Hero III goes mobile

M Brown

Re: 3 Buttons?

Actually Guitar Hero 3 on easy involve just the 3 buttons

M Brown

Damn

Only marketed towards Americans then huh? Only a couple of uk mobile "carriers" listed on the site.

Max Mosley loses battle to get sex video off web

M Brown
Joke

Justice?

Is that really his given name or was he sad enough to change it via deed poll later on? I hope it's his real name, that kicks ass. I wonder if he has his own league?

HSBC pops thousands of customer details in the post

M Brown

I know

Why not just set up a website where you can plug in any name and bring up any details you want of anybody? Surely that will save these companies time. No need to even pretend to give a rat's ass about privacy policies then. Seriously, I'm disgusted these people can even be trusted with our data

Mr. and Mrs. Boring sue Google over Street View pics

M Brown
Joke

Sorry for this but

Who would want to watch a Boring family?

No need for coat, it's almost summer

Dead wife contacts Lancs man via SMS

M Brown
Joke

Not even death

will stop the nagging of a wife. And who buries people with their phones anyway? What would they possibly do? Ring ahead of time to book a good place in the beyond? or make prank calls to people to mess them up?

Byron review calls for computer game ratings

M Brown
Go

about time

I'm behind this classification on games 100%. Maybe this is one step, regardless of how small, towards minors being able to get hold of the game. Hopefully some adult can be held responsible if some apparent game related death happens. Perhaps this may take the pressure off games companies slightly

White PS3 rumours hot up

M Brown

White

White gadgetry has always looked cheap to me. I will always chose the black option whenever I can. But I couldn't force myself to shell out all that extra for the black 360

eBayer punts Wii for £1m

Nothing like setting your sites high then eh?

Its a cheap tacky, needless peripheral.

But on the other, its a f**king lightsabre!!!! Yes, sign me up for on doc

Haha

Sorry, yes I'm 26 and shouldn't be laughing at this but.....teehee...cum-phone

Damn English language

It always annoys me to see "near miss". So what, it was a hit then?

New emails address you by name, then try to hose your PC

M Brown
Flame

Social Commentary

Its the same as people who get these annonymous spam letters through the door that says something along the lines of "You have won £1,000,000, just send £999,999 to claim your prize" and think it's a good idea to reply to them.

I really wish the stupid would stop breeding

PS3 joystick unveiled

I know, I know

I know that Thrustmaster is a fairly old brand name but it never fails to bring give me a childish giggle

MySpace makes kids fat, claims minister

M Brown
Flame

So?

So kids are inside rather than outside terrorising neighbourhoods knowing the law can't touch them? Big fat deal, let the fuckers get fat.

Man who urinated on dying woman for YouTube glory jailed

M Brown
Stop

Overreaction much?

Look, I'm not saying this bastard doesn't deserve jail time, he does. But people go on about torture and killing of this low life? Jesus people, get some perspective. There are FAR worse people out there who have done much sicker acts than this and they go un noticed.

I hope that shit that's now in prison feel remorse and its eating him up. Doubtful but I can hope.

Record labels to ditch CD singles for USB Flash drives

M Brown
Thumb Down

Great

So, if this goes ahead in the mainstream I have to buy all new equipment if i want to play my music away from my pc? no thanks. I'm aware people had to do this because of the jump from vinyl to cassette to CD, but the next format then came about because it could improve on the last. What advantage, besides durability, does USB have over CD? Not improved sound thats for sure as the bit rate, while can be higher than CD's, won't be picked up by most people. Certainly not me.

My only hope is this goes the way of the minidisk.

Diana Funeral

How the hell can anyone forget the stupid bint's funeral when its crammed down our throats near enough every day?

Nintendo updates Wii

M Brown

Yes But

When are they going to make it actually pleasurable to use the damn browser? Im fed up of zooming in and out to read text and see the whole page, scrolling up, down, left and right to get the entire content.

Oh and did anyone see that the browser is suitable for 1 to 4 players in the info page? What happens when 5 people try?

Come celebrate the web...

M Brown

re:Yeah, terrible. But ...

So you'd walk past someone comatose and not help? Don't you get on your soapbox the chav scum in mention. I bet that this woman was well dressed enough not to assume that she was a tramp so there's even less excuse for not helping her.

Boffins develop Terminator-vision goggles

The Guy

Im sure the manufacturers could have found someone better to model the glasses other than some tramp they found on the street.

Nintendo yanks Mario Party 8 - offensive language to blame?

M Brown

RE: I dont understand

Spotted Dick was around ages before it was the slang word for a phallus.

Spastic was around before it was made into a "taboo" word.

You can't compare the two really. And as far as calling someone a spastic is concerned, while I might say it to a fully abled person, I would never dream of calling it to my friend who has cerabral palsy. Even though he calls it himself all the time. Because he can understand the English language and knows the true definition of the word and recognises it as what his body is.

Sony to axe 60GB PS3 in US

M Brown

Sony need a kick

Unhappy with the low selling numbers due to high price, Sony are now forcing people to only being able to buy the more expensive model? Bravo, its about time Sony's ego gets the better of them.

Shame, cause I want one ha. Guess I'll have to carry on with my Wii.
