Out of memory exception.

Tried Flightgear then? Opensource y'know. Not most amazing graphics, but not bad for the price!

Damn right it is... pesky kids... mumble mumble

Not quite as bad as it sounds given that an average house cost £500 at the time (http://www.wwwk.co.uk/culture/housing/index.htm) Perhaps more like £20,000 in current value? (At a guess, ignoring housing bubbles...) Although I do agree his later treatment was appalling : we can only be glad that, in the UK at least, people are generally more tolerant.

I think you will find they faked the moon landing hoax : it was one hell of a job, but doing it for real so they could fake the fake was truly the prank of the century.

"Fan: noise will keep you awake at night (18.5dB at idle, prob 22dB)" I understand the most advanced models come with a device to disable this... was it... the power button? Seriously, what is it with people who leave their PCs on 24/7 : do they enjoy wasting power and money? Beats me.

I fully agree, but as aside I think it is actually legal (in the UK, in the context of the Highway Code) for two cyclists to ride abreast : but no more than two. Of course theory and practice diverge somewhat...

What country are you speaking about? Certainly that's far from my experience in the UK... but then again, the UK is only in Europe nominally (spoke as something of a Europhile). We seem to be desperate to suffer everything our American cousins do!

Soooo if he never finished eating, the plane would never land? Hmmmmm...

Errr... are you sure you've got the right Hugh there ?? Also, a pet hate: there is no such thing as a "British" accent, as any Scottish, Welsh, or (Northern) Irish person will surely attest... I believe you mean English accent.

It's even better than that: captured German Enigma machines were sold to newly independant former colonies, for their new governments use. Since nobody outside the highest circles knew Enigma had been broken, it seemed like a good deal. That is why most of the code breaking equipment was destroyed or spirited away, and the code breaking secrets kept until recent years!

What have chimneys got to do with it?

pah! Mere small change!

Hmm well I've got $5, how's that?

Yo dawg... no, no, mustn't do it... too easy...
