Well an egg is just an early stage of the chicken, so its not as if there could have been a chicken that never came from an egg. The answer is that a almost-chicken animal laid a chicken egg due to the final genetic malfunction that made the modern chicken. So the egg came first.

alcohol actually Mum wanted a Stella and I got myself some Strongbow and Sprite....

Make some more, and by the time you have we'll try and get the store up and running properly

I got expelled once. That was a bit shit tbh. Good thing is it gave me the kick i needed to spur myself into action, and that's when I started doing good stuff.

Not embarrassing.. just weird Most embarrassing thing for me was getting expelled (or close enough). That was a world away from now though.

I was going to say the same thing Took me hours to figure out where you looked familiar, figured it out though. He wasn't hot though

You expect to post 400 posts in a week? That is absolutely ridiculous spamming, seriously. Sorry to be blunt, but I really dont see how you can do that reasonably.

I just hit 2,000 First member to do that without spamming EVAH

Yes. How do you think i'm running with 3gb ram? I can't afford that shit I get sent loads of stuff, hard drives, mobile phones (KRZR, LG choc plat, treo 750v etc), graphics cards (gigabyte one coming soon), and I'm even in talks to get a couple of hundred £ off a Rock laptop.

I have a Core2duo E6700 lying around here. Intel sent me it to review, but the motherboard they sent with it wont work with my RAM, so I haven't been able to use it at all.

I first had sex when I was 15 (nearly 16), and it was a really fun experience. It's not something I exactly regret, but it isn't something I would do again in the same way. The whole AIDS thing is blown out of proportion for young people - neither of us had had sex before == no risk. Oh yeah of course he could have inherited it or if we caught it by accident from someone on the bus (??), but that risk is the same no matter what you do. It isn't hard to not-have-sex, but I really believe that most young people do need some form of romantic or sexual experience. Obviously with me being into guys, it was a lot harder for me to have a relationship, so we did it the short-term way.

Yeah I sort of agree - he was a great actor in the film, and he really brought something extra to it (ie masculinity), but he was very different from the lanky suave suited bonds of years gone by.

So you're telling me Windows 3.11 is the best OS ever and that's what you run at home? Of course not - all the new OSs are better, but they always have teething problems at the start. Some people just think that Vista's teething problems are more fundamental than the ones from, say, XP - so its harder to get rid of them (I don't agree). A lot of what you are saying is what you have heard/read - how many of you that say Vista is crap have actually used it and experienced these problems with compatibility or security? I've used it constantly for the past month, and it beat XP on both of those things except that a couple of programs don't work in their current version (they weren't intended to work with Vista).

I loved Daniel Craig in Casino Royale, a really gritty actor with a look to match - much more of a hands-on man, so he gets my vote. However, I think the film let him down - the lack of gadgets and the big chases kinda deflated it a bit. Before him, Pierce Brosnan and Sean Connery were the much more suave Bonds we've all been used to for so long, but this a lot less realistic than in the new film. Overall, Brosnan was the most Bond-like actor, but Craig was the best personality for a much more realistic and real 007.

More secure, yeah, which is why Symantec, Macafee, and CNET say it's unsecure. You misunderstand. It IS definitely a lot more secure than XP - I think they said it was immune to all known viruses at the time of release, which of course XP is susceptible to. However, it is not as secure as it could or should be for a brand new OS. The big quote on that link is "There is no doubt that Vista will be Microsoft's most secure operating system. However, most secure is not equivalent to secure." That agrees that it is more secure than XP, but still not totally secure (which would mean immune to pretty much all attacks). When McAffee said it would be less secure than previous versions, that means eventually. When XP came out, it was secure, but then exploits were found and it became insecure. That is what will happen to Vista eventually - all the cracks and holes will be found and exploited. Although "hacking" isn't really that fashionable anymore, certainly not as much as it used to be. One other thing about Security (bearing in mind I am studying for a masters in this...) is that the basic elements of security involve not running suspicious EXEs and being careful about where you type your passwords. As soon as you do either of these wrongly, then you have completely opened the door on viruses and things. Vista and IE7 help facilitate this by asking you every time an app tries to do something potentially damaging, and warning you if you're typing your password into an insecure or known false site - but it is still your choice to follow through with that or not.

Topic reopened, bad posts deleted. Please continue to discuss, but not argue. On pain of death. Vista is good in many ways - it is more secure than XP, it has significantly more hardware compatibility, there are quite a few UI improvements and most would say it looks a bit better too. However, these things are what you would expect from a small step-up - there is nothing really innovative or mind-blowing at all. Vista also has many flaws, such as imperfect security, compatibility and various bugs - but again these are to be expected in any new OS. There are no big problems with Vista that we didn't have back in XP. My verdict is that whilst it has many necessary improvements, and it certainly hasn't got worse, it probably has a few too many annoying problems that we'd managed to get sorted out in XP. Many people waited until SP1 came out before migrating from 98/2000 to XP, and that is what is happening with Vista. Give it a chance, and we'll all get used to it eventually. Yes I've tried Vista, I've been using it for the past month. However I switched back to XP yesterday, as a few of my programs wouldn't work properly (including GGMM!)

well on 7/7 last year there were the bombs in London, just after we'd won the Olympics. The failed ones last week were after we got our new Prime Minister. Nothing for them to ruin at the moment, so probably nothing will happen.

There isn't that much news. If you spot something, just PM one of the news staff who will post it.
