I agreed with everything you said, even about the trolls...but you can't be serious about removing members or making the site invite only. The moderation system does a fine job of silencing dumb comments.

The biggest thing to take from this is the old comment system. I really don't know why everything feels so rubbery and unresponsive, I actually did like the graphical side of the site overhaul but the sluggishness kills me. I'd love the old site back for a month.

It's certainly not perfect, but I'd agree it's one of the best systems you'll find anywhere on the 'net. Look at the results of the vote systems on Digg and Reddit. Formerly sites that had intelligent contribution that have been brought to the lowest common denominator and worse. You do get a certain type of comment being approved frequently here but it's certainly a better trade-off than endless memes being rewarded while intelligent discussion is relegated to the darkest corners.

I bought a JooJoo. I believe I may have been the last person ever to do so, they announced that it was cancelled the day after they confirmed my order. I guess from a number I saw inside it that it's only number 293 ever produced.

The fact is that it was very disappointing but it wasn't vaporware. I have it beside me here now. There were two problems with it, the price and the operating system. The OS was pretty much what they said it was so that's on me, but it really was a barebones browser. The hardware was actually pretty sweet but the real downside was a lack of decent alternative operating systems, particularly as most Linux distros are aimed at desktops and there isn't exactly a wealth of decent touchscreen tools or applications. For this reason I've barely used it.

Anyway, FusionGarage have contacted everyone that bought a JooJoo and have claimed that they're sending us all a free Grid 10. I'll be waiting to see if it's the 3G model which would be nice. If it really does arrive as they promise I have to say, at least you can't fault them on marketing or on their ability to see past mistakes.

I sure was a fan of that other system that used a KERNAL.

The IRA are not a religious organisation, nor do they have any religious affiliation. The convention of referring to nationalists as Catholics is a generalization, as is calling unionists "protestants". If you want to call the IRA religious you'd have to do the same of the UVF. What they both are is scum.

Did someone say ponies? OMG I love ponies!



OMG Ponies!

In the UK and Ireland you can get Sky TV over your XBox. They even have Pay per view for sports and films.

I bought one of these for a bit of fun and hacking...last week. I'm not joking, the thing has arrived in my country and I expect it to be delivered in the morning. I'm kinda laughing now about this, after all hardware is hardware.

Surely you meant the Blue Sky of Death?
