In the Kosovo conflict, my GPS became super accurate - even though it was a civilian model - and that was before they stopped degrading the signal back in 2000. Cheers, Peter Pearson

I've made a few (one of them's been registered almost 3000 times in the last three years), I don't make enough to live on, but I'm a student, so it helps a bit, although it's a lot of work, and the number of cracks and serials out there is just rediculous, and that's annoying. It's a lot of work in terms of answering questions, and promising improvements, etc. Some of the questions are just plain rediculous :- "When I close it, it doesn't save my document" Well, erm, A. there's a save button on the toolbar, and B. it asks you if you want to save like most apps when you quit. And questions like these really annoy me - I've just about had enough of it now, so I'm probably going to just let people register it if they want to, but say there isn't going to be any further versions or support. Cheers, Peter Pearson

I'd say it's the mouse or keyboard as well, so long as they use PS/2. Other than that, blame it on the French... ;P While we're on the subject of beeping, I got rid of my "Empty Recycle" bin sound in the multimedia settings (changed it to "None") and no it beeps from the PC speaker whenever I empty the recycle bin. Wonderful. Cheers, Peter Pearson

LOL I know how you feel ;p Cheers, Peter Pearson

Yeah, it's been posted on slashdot and theregister, but where's the original? That's written from a third party's point of view, so it's blatantly already slanted against Microsoft. Chances are they will eventually do something like that, but there's no evidence so far - all they've done is remind people that they've got the rights. Cheers, Peter Pearson

LOL I tried to do this with some friends, but it's a lot easier if you're in the sample place. I play the guitar and bass, mainly rock, and if I was online more and had a better internet connection (rather than 56 k modem) I'd give it a go. Cheers, Peter Pearson

LOL complete rip off of SFCave for the palm pilot - here's a Java version: http://www.lab6.com/sfcave/ Cheers, Peter Pearson

I'd personally say that's a photo taken from a Heli or aircraft. The reasons being: the US only has 4 KH-11 spy sats, and if one did take that photo, it would have had to pass EXACTLY - due to the perspective - over the site. That's no way impossible, but I'm sure they'd rather have them looking for terrorists and things than taking the time and fuel to set up an orbit specifically for taking snap shots of the WTC. The French have admitted their satellites have a resolution of 2 cm, so that means they have better resolution, which means the US has much better. Cheers, Peter Pearson

In the live atlanta version, he says "please wait while I kiss someone". It is Purple Haze. Cheers, Peter Pearson

Especially with the submission wizard, and some of the dodgy and pointless articles that have been submitted in the past. Although those were just blank "zzzzzzzzzzz" articles - any article that doesn't look that good or have a screenshot, I rarely bother with, so it's doubtfull if people would write a good article just to get a virus put on your pc. Cheers, Peter Pearson

LOL :) Everyone's saying he's the first African in space, but they keep forgetting about the chimps the US sent up in the 50s and 60s. Cheers, Peter Pearson

That office on the second floor just off the end of the high street? :) Seen it many times, always ignored it. I see they're doing *free* something or other analysis on you and you get a free book at the moment. Cheers, Peter Pearson

Paul Watson wrote: What is bollocks about it? The fact that the earth was created by 60 or so nuclear explosions. The full (final answers) which you have to pay over $3,000,000 for (which Tom Cruise and *the bloke in Swordfish* paid for some stupid reason) were released on the internet a few years ago. I've read them (can't remember them completely), but you can get similar stories for £7.99 by buying a book by Aurthor C Clarke or Issac Asimov , so I don't see the point quite frankly. The fact that you have to pay money to go up the different stages, and people do it, just to be told complete rubbish is pathetic quite honestly, but it obviously works well from a business point of view. Cheers, Peter Pearson

0845 272 2666 Is the number I think you want. Took me about 2 mins to find that. Cheers, Peter Pearson

Been with them since 1995 now, and still very happy with them. Top quality service - it's not free of course, but you get what you pay for. I know several friends who have been with Demon for over four years as well, they too are extremely happy with it. Just because you can't cancel easily, doesn't mean the whole service is "CRAP". Cheers, Peter Pearson

lol - yeah :) We used talking pendown on those bloody acorns.

"1. You were not afraid of Soviet army because of the number of people, but because of the number of nuclear weapons." Point taken. "2. Who had ever told you that Russian soldiers could not read maps? I bet you anything that any Russian soldier knows more about maps than average American would ever know. Russia has or at least had one of the best education systems in the world and they teach things like reading of maps to everyone in high school - not just to a few in the army." They most probably do (remembers time American Geography class were asked what the capital of Japan was: France.) While I'm at it, I'm going to get flamed for that one, so I'll tell the one about the history class. A B&W photo of Hitler and Churchill playing tennis was shown to a class. "What's wrong with it?" "It's not in colour" :) I admit it does sound a bit dodgy - what was probably meant that they can't read it in a combat situation - I don't know. 2 & 3: I DO know that 21 SAS were tasked (in the event of war) to lie up in East Germany and get rid of these people, so they must have been used for something - I think they were called "Regulators" and would point the directions at crossroads and things. 4: Yep - Alpha commando of the Speznas is supposed to be one of the best. 5: Again, good point. There's a reason the AK47 is in use all over the world, and not just because it's easy to produce. Russian fighter planes are also some of the best in the world. Cheers, Peter Pearson

"Nope. In fact, I will out on a limb and say that a voluntary force (especially "special forces" ) will never win any war. I think our reliance on 'spcecial ops' is the primary reason we lost in Vietnam. They don't fight to win, they fight to fight. They like exercising their skills and abilities." Maybe in the US, but it is thanks to the British SF (SAS and SBS) that the Malayan conflict was won, Borneo, Oman and to a certain extent in the Falklands. These were all "our" Vietnams (fighting against communists guerrilla) we won all of them - the only one we didn't win was Yemen. Cheers, Peter Pearson
