    The sun is in no way combuting, it's doing some pretty nifty nuclear fusion. There's no oxygen out there, only Hydrogen and Helium. Northerners, pah, they know nothing of either science or poetry. Really.

    As for the hair, that photo's old. I'm always behind the camera, not in front of it.

    Sorry...I'd dumbed down my answer for the target audience, I didn't realise you'd had Northern teachers at your school. ;)

    Hmm. So maybe I shouldn't bid for those rather nice speaker stands that are for "Personal Collection Only" from Preston on eBay despite the fact that my companion will be zapping down the M6 a couple of days after it ends?

    Would her car still have wheels on it when she comes out of the house?

    Would it, indeed, still be there and not on fire? :eek:


    haha

    Its not THAT bad :p

    I think shes safe (Unless its in Moor and Hook, Brookfield or the Callon estate)
    :idea:

    I don't think you should be so patronising towards Windows users.

    Just because they like to buy those expensive PCs, instead of Macs at bargain prices on eBay, and spend all day wrestling with anti-virus software.

    :D


    Don't laugh at banana republics. :rotfl:

    As a result of how you voted in the last three General Elections,
    you'd now be better off living in one.

    It is a piece of software written by a very naughty boy.
    The intention being to
    1. cause havoc
    2. steal sensitive data (bank account details etc..)

    These naughty boys target, primarily, the Windows PC users for a number of reasons, one of which is the certain knowledge that any operating system that has to be all things to all men, running on hardware available on every highstreet, which can be bought by and put together by anybody cannot be perfect, another is that with a userbase in the hundreds of millions it's a much bigger target to hit.
    Other reasons why PCs, rather than Macs are targeted include apathy from the naughty boys towards Mac users...back to the original short list or reasons to hack and write viruses..

    1. cause havoc...Would a Mac user, being "artistic" even notice the havoc wreaked on their system? Would they dare to speak of it to another human for fear of retribution?
    2. steal sensitive data (bank account details etc..)...Once an Applemac has been bought, and the McApple ethos bought into...there's no money left in the account to steal...so why bother trying..?


    ymmv

    It is a remedial purgative required by the unwashed masses to rid their inferior computing devices of malevolent, invasive and destructive agents created and dispersed by their peers.

    Civilised people with proper computers designed in Cupertino, California need not concern themselves with it.

    (It says here.)
