    What is your opinion about the best operating system for desktop/laptops ?

    That's still technically 'local', not remote, as you're logging in to the PC itself, and it's looking up your credentials and copying your user settings from the Windows server. (Active Directory, I think it's called...) I guess Terminal Services would be remote login, but seamless integration...

    What is your opinion about the best operating system for desktop/laptops ?

    Well said. ichwar: Did you investigate why it was crashing? Most likely, not Windows itself ;) "remote login with a seamless integration"? You mean SSH?

    Old enough to know not to answer such polls. But not as old as some who have stated their age. Go figure.

    Twitter

    I hate all of them, facebook, myspace, twitter, etc., however, it's useful for keeping up to date with stuff (eg Digsby), much like an RSS feed. And people do insist on uploading photographs to Facebook. Which then proceeds to shrink them and reduce the quality horribly.

    Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box

    It's great fun on the PS3 too, and with motorbikes. But yes, lack of splitscreen is disappointing.

    Playing DOS games in vista/XP/Linux like old school.

    Get yourself a copy of bouncing babies, then say you don't understand DOS games. Search for it on your favourite Google search engine. Look for dosgamesarchive (was the first link for me).

    Would you give up cPanel for better uptime?

    It's quite surprising that cPanel aren't at least interested in using x10Hosting as a 'guinea pig', in order to sort this problem, and be able to say "Hey, cPanel is able to expand with your hosting business and support <x> users on one server!". As an alternative, I have used Plesk in the...

    UK House of Lords reform

    If it became fully-elected, it wouldn't be the House of Lords now, would it. Their lifetime appointment means that they don't have to constantly look be concerned with voting the way the party wants them or to succumb to populist demands. Their concern is for what makes sense legislatively...

    Internet Security War is Coming...

    Last I heard, aeroplane radar's aren't all networked to the 'net (or even an intranet). Nor is there a way of plugging a USB thumb-drive in with malware on it. If someone managed to take out the GPS satellites then sure, they'd be without GPS. Sounds like FUD to me. Like how the PS3's 'Cell'...

    Best Internet security package

    Similar set up to Smith6612 here. Avast Home edition, the Windows firewall, plus two routers, although one router is in the DMZ of the other, so it's effectively just the one. Oh, and Windows Defender's installed, but only doing passive checks. UAC is on, and I don't have a tendency to...

    Show your guns!

    Not bad for a second post... Other people owning them is ok providing they're relatively sane, like Russ. Only basing this on what background information I've learned over the time I've known him, he seems a fairly normal kind of guy, and not some gun-toting gang member or mentally unstable...

    Hey, 93% of the worlds supply of Opium comes from Afghanistan!

    Show your guns!

    I think what it comes down to is that no matter what is said, there's still an element of 'coolness' about guns. After talking to other members on the IRC, I'm not alone in this. What I do know is, no matter what is said here, I'm still going down the range on Thursday, and will still enjoy...

    Show your guns!

    That sounds like the talk of someone who doesn't have an over-powered sports car with an extended bonnet/hood. AKA the sound of jealousy. How's it any different to the geeky parading of "zOMGx my PC has the latest graphics card-z0r, it pwns your socks off. LINUX RULEZ0RS (where's MSN...

    Cancer and strokes..... And tax. Those are the things I hate the most.

    How awesome is the new Coldplay Single Life in Technicolor II?

    Odd 'songs'

    http://web.archive.org[...]awsurveyscam.com/ tbh I'm not so sure he's even trustworthy in this case. All the numbers are estimates, and it "sounds like a bag of grapefruits to me". If one were to look on youtube for Blackadder S03E02 (it's called "Ink and Incapability") then...
