I'm neither a kid or a Microsoft fanboi - the fact is that the best OS on the market for the home PC at the moment is probably XP followed by OSX - Vista is not as quick, stable or widely accepted as those two.
I use a Linux Distro myself, but it's not as good as XP... yet.
If you want to join a facebook group that is against everything that everyone is not against, and for everything that they didn't think they liked, then look at the exclusively El Reg group "We Have Empty Howling Souls"
As a UK citizen, I am getting really pissed off with the way people treat our cousins accross the pond.
If the whining shits above want to say that China and the US are the same, I ask them this: If forced, which would you emigrate to?
I'll give you a hint, choose the one that has a free (but not perfect) media. The one where internet traffic is not redirected by the government. The one where you can call that prize idiot Dubya a prize idiot and not get imprisoned for it. How many Chinese films have been made and widely shown in China like "Faharenhit 9/11" or "Bowling for Columbine"?
Sure, the USA is not perfect but let's try and keep it in some sort of perspective.
Brilliant use of "glass-enclosed master control room" to pretend there's an IT angle - keep up the good work - especially these dolphin polishing stories
You misread the comment - anon said "everything anybody is likely to need". Of course he meant "almost everything most people will ever need" then he would have been correct.

Re: Ed Balls
Vessels "founder" not "flounder".
Real pedant out.
Body Armour... or Books
Should our teachers be provided with body armour or school books as the top priority?
Voyager
But what about the Voyager? Similar phone with a QWERTY keyboard - reviewed a year ago and never arrived on these shores.
@Neil
Yep.
@Mark
"Therefore energy coming in is finding it easy. Energy getting out is finding it hard."
Why isn't the temperature of the Earth rising significantly then?
"Or do you have trouble working out how your thermos knows whether its contents are hot or cold and so know how to keep them that way?"
I always presumed it was the thermos fairy....
Science?
"The media tendency to knee-jerkingly blame everything on "global warming" makes for an easy story - but it is not based on solid science"
Is any of the global warming crap based on science? Solid or otherwise?
Re: What?
"The speed of light does not vary because of the presence, or lack of an atmosphere."
Yes it does. Silly, silly person.
@Spackle @Steve
That was the most cynical comment I have read for a long time. Well done mate.
@ Steve Mason
SO Fucktards was YOUR fault.
It should be fuckards - this works much better; try:
"Fuck the fucking fuckards/fucktards" - the first rolls off the tongue so much more easily.
Of course, nothing can beat "fuck the fucking fuckers"
Linux Penguin - because he's the fucking greatest.
PFY Actor
The guy with the false eye from Pirates of the Caribean <check IMDB> Mackenzie Crook apparently.

Thick Users
Personally, I did my tax return last May and the site was super quick and worked perfectly.
All the fuckards who left it until today deserve their hassles.
@Tom
Surely 4 tiny elephants to walk on the back of your tortoise - and a side plate to act as a discworld?

Easy Solution
I see that Casino Royale High Def went on sale in HMV for £25 - the equivalent DVD was about £15.
Drop the price for all discs ro a tenner and they won't be able to make players or discs fast enough...

Bush wacked
Shove that up your arse Bush.
PS we need a Dubyah icon.
No Yanking
Look chaps, we're British damn it: It's a car park, not a parking lot.
Community Support Officers
The problem here is surely the pettifogging PCSOs, or Gauleiters as they should be called.
Well done on the IT angle

So how can I tell?
Given that 99 pip niner of us are looking at this piccie on a screen with a somewhat lower resolution, what's the point of showing it?
Tomorrow's world demonstrated HD TV some years ago - pointing out the beauty of the picture to the millions watching it on SD TVs.
Unless of course, you are subtly taking the piss out of yourselves, in which case yellow fizzy stuff all round.

How ironic - they got it wrong.

Back she goes
Back she goes - for the full 45 days - cool - the judge had some sense - and him an American and all.
Right - now I can enjoy my Friday night pint.
