Was it any worse than This?
This, as far as I am concerned, is the closest we have seen in this country to pure evil. -
Just reading about the 33 dogs in Welsford Here's a story for you Mr. Campbell, a human interest story and a couple of guys that need their balls riped off with flimsy plastic forks. AND, where the fuck is the "Your Views" link for this story in the Fukinherald. GRRRRRR. CUNTS!!!!!!

One thing I'm looking forward to is games, especially two player+ games. It can lie flat on the table and be any game you like. People can sit round these in a way that's not practical for a laptop.
I would get onto that one quick if I were you before Mr. Jobs sees your post.

Then all you had to do was recite the paternoster backwards, while constructing a mental image of the Earthly Paradise in your head, before sacrificing a chicken to the spirits of the ether.
Don't be silly, that went out with Ubuntu 7.2.4.5.7 rc. The Chicken has been replaced with a Heron.

Like I totally clicked on that banner you got there dude...
The one with the leaves an' shit on it...
Takes a while to get loaded but...
Where are my toes?... -
I appreciate and understand why Unix/Linux etc is superior but I still can't be bothered with it. Which kind of means it isn't really superior ... grabs for tin hat.
When something can do more I tend to want to do more with it. It really grates when you have paid good money for a machine that has been deliberately crippled and the software is locked down to stop you doing what you want with something you have paid for. When I was up North this holidays I wanted to tether my phone to a Linux notebook, all I had to do was write a few lines of code, reconfigure some configurations, pair my device, enter the APN, discover the correct protocol, chose the Bluetooth services I required and then it was just a case of making sure Bluetooth was active on the phone before seeking a GPRS connection because then it would corrupt the .conf file and I'd have to start again, and I was away. Try doing that with an Apple 3G iProne. OK Windoze is easier but...

I've also used tablets for years...
Shouldn't that be on the Drugs thread?

I was looking at the Eeepc T91 a few months back and was impressed. I did, for while, have the HTC Breeze (mine was actually an iMate but that's just a dead brand now) and it died a mysterious death, it filled up with water while it was in my pocket and then went batshit crazy. I have the Samsung GT-S5600 now and pleased I am with it. :-)

I'm with Ben on this one
If an Apple device fitted my needs well, and there wasn't a comparable device at half the price, then perhaps I'd get one, but this simply hasn't happened to me. Ever.
The most annoying thing here is no USB port, unless you buy the camera kit (which doesn't include a camera FFS). Propitiatory plugs and sockets should be banned by international law afaiac.
We have a plethora of aftermarket devices that would be great with my Walkman but those damned connectors are iPood only (admittedly the Walkman has a propitiatory connector but I blame Apple for that too). Bluetooth? well ok but which bluetooth services does it support? printer, phone sync?
Anypod, I, for one, will not be buying one. I shall wait for the cheap Chinese knock off.

Back on topic Here is an interesting article.
So-called "skunk" does contain higher than normal concentrations of the main psychoactive compound, a molecule called delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). What is less well known is that another constituent, cannabidiol (CBD), has been eliminated from skunk through selective breeding to increase the THC content.
The elimination of CBD may play a key role in the development of psychosis. Laboratory studies have shown that pure, synthetic THC causes transient psychosis in 40 to 50 per cent of healthy people. In stark contrast to THC, CBD appears to have an anti-psychotic effect, at least in animals. Studies in humans, though few in number, have produced similar findings.
