Just failed to win the lottery with the number 1,2,3,4,5,6. If I had won, I wonder how many others use those numbers...

This was scarily accurate... - Rich from iPod
Dubya gave us peace and prosperity? Which week in his eight years was that? I missed it. - Ian May
Wow ... *really* accurate. - dkb
This was from when he first came into power btw. - Rich from iPod

LET THIS BE A WARNING TO ALL - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
In my company, that'd be grounds for promotion! - Akiva
Oh man...that's silly. Now if she had used poor grammar and bad spelling, I could get behind this. - Anika
AWESOME. TEH LAW IS ON OUR SIDE!!!!111!!!1 DO ANYBODY NO IF ANY1 EVER BEEN TERMINATED 4 LOLSPEAK? - Victor Ganata
I CAN HAZ EMPLOYMENT LAWYER/SOLICITOR? - Jay Cuthrell
LOL @Victor - Anika
Seriously, though, is the phrase "Please do follow the below check list" idiomatic in English in New Zealand? - Victor Ganata
"Please do x" makes sense to me, Victor. Not idiomatic, although maybe a touch clumsy. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
I think because we would say 'Please do the following." It's the same, her's is just seems more stilted. - Anika
Yeah, stylistically, I wouldn't choose "Please do follow" myself, although it is perfectly grammatical. But I was looking more at "the below check list" - Victor Ganata
Vicki Walker, who was a financial controller with ProCare Health, has been awarded $17,000 for unfair dismissal, and plans to lodge an appeal for further compensation. - Mary
Victor +1 lol - anna sauce
ohh poor she - mamisinga
The boss was way oversensitive in my opinion. In type, all caps are interpreted as shouting. I'd probably just ask her to lay off the caps lock key. (I occasionally use all caps in homage to the late Sam Kinison. ;) - Dennis Jernberg
What a shame, and how asinine. Reading comprehension is lacking in general, so I think she was just trying to cope. - Rick Cogley
Y'know, sometimes people just don't read emails well enough. Bold red and capitals certainly gets your attention when things are important. - Charley M

O2 Wireless Box III / Thomson TG585n Vulnerabilities
The O2 Wireless Box III (a customised Thomson TG585n router) is an ADSL modem and wireless router used by O2 Broadband customers. Two weeks ago, I discovered a serious security vulnerability that allows remote attackers to access a home user's private network and view/change settings on the router. - Rich from Bookmarklet

Why did this woman jump into a pit of polar bears at feeding time?
Best quote from the article: "Polar bears are predators and they do not care what they eat. It was terrible but we do not wish to identify the bear involved." - Rich from Bookmarklet
That is a great quote LOL - comix aka martha
I hope the bears weren't hurt. Serious risk of Darwinian indigestion there... ; ) - Fossil Huntress
Is this for real or photo shpped? - Kevin J Hatton
cos she is....stupid maybe? - Rob Sellen :o)
She looks like she shops at Wal-Mart - Outsanity
She was lucky but does it not show you that depite the immense power of these magnificant animals they showed a certain amouth of constraint, probably due to certain element of confusion I would imagine. - Kevin J Hatton

LOL -- well, you know those fruits... (okay, that was terrible, I'm sorry!) - Ordinarybug Heather
Well, at least he's just licking the cherry instead of taking it! - In Search of Gender
Scott! You naughty, naughty man! Um, are you busy atm? ;-) - Ordinarybug Heather
I can't really help but agree with the father on this. Might have to go and buy some maoam just to see what the banana does... - Rich
Why does the lime have arms and legs, but the lemon doesn't? - Tinfoil 2.0
Is that a lime at all? Perhaps it's one of those incomprehensible foreign flavors, like Lemon-Lima, and Cherry-Lima. - Dave Roth
Whatever he is, he's kinky doing it with twin cherries :p - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart
He looked more like a little bean to me, which is just weird. [Sorry for hijacking your thread, Rich!] - Ordinarybug Heather
Would the cherries be twins? if so, then there's a little wincest going on there ;) (to use 4chan parlance) - alphaxion
4chan is arguably the weirdest place not only on the internet but in the universe. Ever. - Rich
this father must have quite an interesting fantasy life to imagine this stuff! - Hieronymous Boosh
bwhahaahahahahaha - Melissa
I'm just so entertained by fruits getting it on. WTH, lighten up people - Melissa

Movement - Arranging your iPhone apps shouldn't take all day

Too bad it requires a jailbreak. - Kenley Neufeld
The iphone really needs an API for applications. This is kind of insane. - Todd Hoff
I have been wanting this type of application for a very long time. I have pages of apps. This would solve my issues but the jailbreaking is a no-go for me. - berchman
Remember that jailbreaking isn't unlocking - you aren't playing with the carrier side of things, just the software. - Rich
Yeah! Got my Wii to play DVDs using the bannerbomb hack + DVDx... Finally can dispense of our old flakey DVD player!
"One of the deep mysteries to me is our logo, the symbol of lust and knowledge, bitten into, all crossed with the colors of the rainbow in the wrong order. You couldn’t dream a more appropriate logo: lust, knowledge, hope and anarchy."

Just updated software on my Mac. Surprised that it didn't force me to restart...
http://spotifitunes.philnash.co.uk/richbra... is quite cool... kinda pointless in a way, but useful for when you aren't at main computer.
This is one of the few websites where the fact that there are people who don't use english most of the time is actually apparent - maybe other sites do too much to segment languages...
There are some posts that seem interesting enough to attempt to translate (using translate.google.com). I like that there many languages coming together, and sharing things like pictures and videos without being able to directly communicate. It gives the feeling of being at a party -- you know there are other conversations going on, but you can't necessarily understand them all. - Andy Bakun
Why would anyone buy all 3 versions of Windows??
Picture 1.png
You reckon? Wouldn't they just get a pirate copy? - Rich
You can download copies from Technet, so I'd assume that they would get pirated from those copies. You could be right though. Maybe it's people buying presents for their home office (Ultimate), their lounge (Premium) and their work laptop (Professional)... seems a bit of a waste of £384 though... - Rich
That was my suspicion. I really don't believe that anyone buys those three together. - Rich

BBC's definition of XML. Not quite what I'd put! - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2...
"XML, a programming language that allows formatting of text and makes files readable across different programs." - Rich from Bookmarklet
I'm more concerned about the ruling - its a ridiculous patent again what's next html and css? xml and xsl in general? a farce! - Phill Price
It's mad isn't it. It's like patenting a byte or a linefeed. The joke is that pretty much every bit of software will use XML in it somewhere. I assume the judgement will be overturned. - Rich
