Human Error apparently

Otherwise the expected sporting awards for Olympians but sadly not for Shane Williams who broke the all time Try scoring record in Wales, won the 6 Nations and became the IRB World Rugby player of the year. Also where is Nicole Cooke who acomplished a first in her Olympic and World cycling double w...

anyone want to bet on hughes next and make it a utd trio

If you know where I can get a cheap licensed copy of 2003, or a very cheap media-only kit, incidentally, I'm all ears. Copies seem to be thin on the ground these days. We've got about 1000 in work though I have no idea how many of them are not on a machine at the moment and also how much they are. ...

You tried looking for a copy of Office 2003? IMO far better than 2007 for the simple fact that 2k7 saves files in a way that is only compatible with other 2k7 users. ok, I know you can tell it to save the file in 2k3 format but you have to actually go in and change teh settings when you save it - pa...

No love for Linux? Where's Computron? I've actually become a huge Microsoft fanboy since I've started working heavily with computers. No matter what you say about their products they generally all work and more importantly all work together fairly well and without too much hassel. I've configured a...

Jets you might be right that those people have done all those but considering I don't know I would guess is a fair indication that a large percentage of the british population don't know as I doubt too many people follow cyclng/ swimming that well. One thing I generally expect from a winner/ nominee...

To be honest none of them deserve sports personality of the year. 95 - Jonathan Edwards 96 - Damon Hill 97 - Greg Ruzedski 98 - Michael Owen 99 - Lenox Lewis 00 - Steve Redgrave 01 - David Beckham 02 - Paula Radcliffe 03 - Jonny Wilkinson All of these winners were well known prior to winning. They w...

and here was me thinking this was a thread on the theory that the human race appears to be de-evolving. Based on the fact that the more stupid and lazy people in the world tend to stay at home and have lots of children whilst the more intelligent generally have jobs and leave having children later a...

To be honest it sounds like a latency issue rather than a download issue. Games do't really need fast download speeds so much as a fast response time. This might sound confusing but some fast broadband connections have slow response times before the fast download occurs. The best example (and most e...

little disclaimer but nothing in this post is prooven, just stuff I've found helps, they are just the ramblings of my own personal experiance Drink a cold glass of milk (assuming warm millk doesn't work as some people can't drink after hot drinks) or eat a banana. both have something in them that h...

I'm really enjoying Heroes this season unlike most people here :) I actually think the whole season will turn out to be one giant plot by Peter to stop the future from happening. My theory is after he gained Sylers powers he created the giant complex plan and then possibly erased his memory (thanks ...

To be honest the way the UK and the US are governed are different which probably leads to the fact it is harder to become a pime minister. The US President is not the same as the UK Prime Minister and in terms of actual power is probably closer to the Monarch. The power to make laws, change taxes et...

****PLaying Devils Advocate to stimulate some fun debate :)**** I honestly believe though that the US would not tolerate a Russian incursion into Poland as we did in 1945. Poland isn't Georgia either...and it has the backing of NATO, which for all Russia's blustering effectively counters any threat ...

With all the news over the last few days about Obama I find it quite disturbing that almost nothing has been made in the news about Russia heading back towards it's Soviet Union ways. For me the first step was Putin creating the job role of Prime Minister for this term. In Russia a leader is only al...

At the end of the day the people who listen to Russel Brand know the sort of humour he does and weren't offended. This can clearly be seen by the fact only two people complained and that was about the language. Now the 30,000 who complained really should be ignored. They didn't watch the show and th...

Can you afford to wait a few months? Intel will be releasing their Nehalem chip end of the year (allegedly) which is meant to be Intels most significant change in Processor architecture since the original Pentium chip (yes that is marketing stuff but it doesn't mean its not worth noting) If your not...

I generally feel if you don't vote then you have no right to complain about the candidates. If you feel so strongly that none of them suit you then go down and spoil your ballot. That way you have shown that you want to exercise your right to vote yet haven't voted for anyone. Personally I think the...

I actually came back from the pub and watched it on the BBC website last night and I generally thought McCain came across slightly better, especially with regards to a lot of the foreign issues where Obama seems to follow a lot of the European policies of talking to a country when they do something ...

I have tended to find reading the Diskworld books they often get better the more you read them as I try to read them all in order about once a year and I'm always finding new jokes. Quite often these are small references to characters that are later expanded on in later books so the comment seems in...
