mind boggeler
It's mind boggling just how many times this has been posted, with each topic started thinking they're being interesting and original.

What's the Best Book you've Ever Read?
I don't read books. ... Not regularly, anyway. The best ones I have read have generally been when I've been on holiday. My favourites are The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams, and The Devil's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce.

How can we rid the world of terrorism?
It's when someone does something against america.

Ban "+1"
That's what I'd like to see, just added to policy so it is official that they're not allowed.

How can we rid the world of terrorism?
I really hate how terrorism is this decade's buzzword.

Ban "+1"
I was recommending the banning of "+1" posts, not the users who make them.

Mid-High end gaming laptop
I don't reccomend them. They have nice products but oh lordy are they overpriced. And they admit trying to fiddle reviews of their products. Short version Long version

Ban "+1"
It is stupid and annoying. Putting "+1" to this post would be neither original nor funny.

Post your PC specs =-)
Hard drive is HD, hard disc drive is HDD. I think it's more likely he made an error and you went to acronymfinder.com, considering I've never heard of one in my 5 years of being taught computer science, 3 at degree level. And that a search on google yields results pertaining to tape drives and DVDs.

Aliens
I think that it is hilarious to assume that aliens are visiting our planet. I also think that it would be irresponsible not to assume that given the size of our universe there are other life forms out there. They just aren't visiting us.

The iPhone
OS X that looks nothing like OS X and behaves nothing like OS X.

May I ask what an HDDR is?

Posh And Bucks: A Disgrace
They are a disgrace to my country. I base this on their constant appearances in 'Heat' magazine, and other similar toilet paper publications.

The iPhone
I disagree with that, if you want them to not cost extra that may be the case, but in all my dealings with O2, and getting the best phones from them, I have only ever had to do 12 months.

A few w0w questions
Of course he isn't going to know what he's doing, so that's a misleading answer. No new player is going to be able to get to 60 that fast.

A few w0w questions
18 days /played time is 18 days on the game. That is 432 hours spent playing.
-
A few w0w questions
Heh, exactly the same here. It is possible to play for less than a couple of hours at a time, but it is geared towards doing more. Endgame PvE is totally aimed at spending 3+ hours working with several other players - and that's why I quit.

Arranged marriage is barbaric
In some cultures they belived it was ok to sacrifice young girls so sun and rain Gods. That doesnt make it ok. Preeecisely. You're welcome to practice your culture's beliefs as long as they don't impinge on others. It's very easy to say "but it's their culture" when you're not being forced into a marriage.

The iPhone
Some of the claims made on that video are hilarious. "The most advanced internet communication device"

I was under the impression it was If I Recall Correctly.

Buying iMac
Some people like the simplicity of Macs. For example, my dad got my mum a Mac so he wasn't constantly having to fix her machine when she did something wrong.

Post your PC specs =-)
I do get a bit of a bottleneck, but it is not dire. I had to do it this way though, as I alternate between what I upgrade each christmas. I can still run Oblivion in 1600x1200 with all options at their highest and get excellent frame rates.

The iPhone
It will be a cut-down version of OS X, like how Windows Mobile is cut-down. It won't be the same as on Macs. Edit: Actually it will be more cut-down than WM. Bye bye major reason for owning one.
