"We don't have Mythbusters in the UK. Can I cite Brainiac: Science Abuse instead?" - Matthew Daly

"No - Tuxradar is a website maintained by the authors of the popular Linux Format magazine - it's a much better read than the somewhat stuffy Linux Magazine, and is worth every penny!" - Matthew Daly

"I've always wondered - what happens when Jehovah's Witnesses knock on Ozzy Osborne's front door? That's something you never see on The Osbornes. Or for that matter, any other rock star who's even remotely connected to Satanism, such as Marilyn Manson, for example. I'd love to see Ozzy open the door to them and them scream and run away!" - Matthew Daly

"You can always tell them you give blood, I guess." - Matthew Daly

"You can always use FreeDOS. Although I find DOS really creaky compared to Unix shells." - Matthew Daly

"@Jektal Windowing system in this context is a bit vague. I'm guessing it will still use GTK+ as that's what the Chrome browser uses in Linux, and why port it to another toolkit if you don't have to for two Linux versions? By windowing system they could therefore either mean a new X window manager or a replacement for X.org. I'm inclined to think the former - that's a much easier undertaking, and I don't see that X.org is terribly bloated, but they could easily wind up using an alternative X window server that already exists. If Tiny Core Linux and Damn Small Linux can fit an X window server into under 50MB, then I think they will stick with it." - Matthew Daly

"I wouldn't say that - gOS is along the same kind of lines. http://www.thinkgos.com/index... It's designed around web apps and is essentially a customised Ubuntu. It's worth a try." - Matthew Daly

"I went in Waterstones today (UK book chain) and there were loads of books in a clearance box, and a surprising number of them were ones teaching you how to use the Zune. But they don't sell the Zune in this country! Epic fail!" - Matthew Daly

"@Raptor007 Maybe but there's not actually that many Apple stores around. And "try" is the operative word here - it would only need to be a very basic demo version so people can get used to it." - Matthew Daly

"No - from what I heard it can theoretically try the square root of the number of options in one go. So if it's trying to break a code with 1 million possibilities, it can try 1,000 at once. Not sure it that was right though...Quantum computing is seriously complex stuff!" - Matthew Daly

"Gotta be Intel - they're bound to wind up calling the first one an Intel Quantium or something like that." - Matthew Daly

"That's something you'll have to take up with Apple - I think they should make a trial version of OS X that would run in a VM or off a live CD that had only minimal capabilites (just software they give away like iTunes and Safari, the basic desktop, and Finder) so people can try it on their existing hardware. OS X is a big jump into the dark and risks a lot of money, while you don't lose anything by trying an Ubuntu live CD." - Matthew Daly

"Wasn't it supposed to be theoretically able to cause a time loop or something like that? I've heard all the stories about "it'll destroy the world!" or "It's Satan's Stargate!" and all that, but a time loop wouldn't be so bad if you remembered what had gone before, although it would depend on when you went back to - being a kid again would probably suck!" - Matthew Daly

"True - the Hubble Telescope took a while to get right but once it was going it was even more of a success than anyone could have hoped for." - Matthew Daly
