Computer Jokes

I found this really cool webpage with some funny computer jokes. http://phd.pp.ru/Texts/fun/signatures.txt


Here are a few of my favourites.

The BeOS takes the best features from the major operating systems. It's got
the power and flexibility of Unix, the interface and ease of use of the MacOS,
and Minesweeper from Windows.

The difference between Microsoft and 'Jurassic Park':
In one, a mad businessman makes a lot of money with beasts that should be
extinct.
The other is a film.

"Nobody will ever need more than 640k RAM!"
                               -- Bill Gates, 1981
"Windows 95 needs at least 8 MB RAM."
                               -- Bill Gates, 1996
"Nobody will ever need Windows 95."
                               -- logical conclusion

And my definite favourite,

Bus error - driver executed.

Film of the Week 12/11/07

The Lost Boys is the film to watch this week. A quality film starring Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Patric, Corey Haim and Alex Winter.

The Lost Boys is a horror movie about a about young California who must fight a gang of teenage vampires.

Though the film is not scary but it does have a slight sense of mystery which works well.
It is a pretty good modern take on vampire fiction with some funny one liners.
And Kiefer Sutherland's hair in this film is just so cool.

Definitely a film to see, no matter how old it is.

8/10

Haze PS3 Exclusive

Some of you 360 fans out there will be disappointed to hear that Haze has been cancelled for it's Xbox and PC release and will only be available for PS3.

Some of you may be thinking "Haze? What the hell is that?"
Well, it is probably one of the best looking games I have seen (not forgetting about Crysis) with some really cool features and some really intelligent AI. Made by Free Radical Design, the creators of the Timesplitters series though Haze is going to be a serious game unlike Timesplitters' comicalness (not sure if that's a word).

Haze is a first person shooter, set in the not too distant future (2048) future where there is no UN (United Nations) or NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) , just the Mantel Global Industries, a private military company.

You play Sergeant Shane Carpenter, a soldier for Mantel. Carpenter fights rebels in South America in the war between the rebels and the Mantel Global Industries army, which began in the year 2032.
The game takes place over three days that will "change Shane forever." Mantel battles a guerrilla group known as The Promise Hand led by a dictator called Gabriel "Skin coat" Merino; a brutal man who wears the flayed skins of his POW camp inmates.

Haze trailer (it's a youtube video, that's why the bad quality)

So far I dont know who the good guys are, because The Promise Hand seem pretty gruesome and I just got a bad feeling about Mantel.

But definitely an awesome looking game, shame it's only on PS3 though.

What do you think of this? Leave a comment.

Here's To Joe

Here's a shout out to Joe, my good buddy. He's been bugging me for a long time now to give him one of these, and as he is a friend and like my only dedicated reader. So I'm going to give you a quick overview of Joe from when I met him.

I first met Joe in the Autumn of 05 and back then he really one of the guys, with his long messy hair, random outbursts of anger and his continuous battle against his spots. And at first glance gave the impression of being queer and basically leader of the nerds.

But in the summer of 07 he changed. He got a haircut, some new clothes, had a shave and stopped playing Xbox and basically sorted his life out. And now he's overcome his spot problem, managed to control his random outbursts (sort of), and now at first glance looks like a non gay totally heterosexual male. So it's been quite a drastic change for Joe, and bad news ladies, he's already taken.

So this one's to you Joe.

Apple iPhone

Apple's long awaited iPhone (exclusive to O2) finally hits the shelves tomorrow. But what has it got to offer apart from it's music player and phone capabilities?

You are able to browse the net with a modified version of the Safari Browser via local wi-fi, which most phones can already do. But you can purchase music from itunes with this feature which is quite cool.

The iPhone runs an optimized version of mac OS X, which which jus screams out "HACK ME!!!".

It comes with a choice of 4 0r 8 gb flash memory which would go nicely with video support but it doesn't play video which sucks. Maybe someday Apple will make a firmware or sombody will make a custom firmware that plays video.

The headphines have had a bit of a function upgrade with a built in microphone which doubles up as a hands free kit.

But what makes the iPhone really cool is the 3 axis accelerometer which basically senses which way you're holding it. So if you turn it on it's side the screen will go into a landscape view.

With bluetooth 2.0, a 2 megapixel camera and a pretty good looking GUI (guided user interface) the iPhone has a hefty price of £269 and the the cheapest contract being £35 monthly, looks like it's going to be cheaper to buy a phone and an iPod.

A nice piece of equipment, but I can't really it a rating as I haven't had a hands on with it yet but from what I've seen, it looks real good.
