Send me a message when the fantasy league starts up again! I'm looking to be the first two-time winner! (Yes, I am still trying to relive my only successful season by bragging about it. But it's trash talk, even if I'm poor at it!)

Hello! I have decided that Virgin Media are starting to get a little above their station with charging me when I don't even know what for. What I currently have: Up to 8Mb with free evening and weekend calls - £14.99 a month. The reason I chose this is because the BB only package costs £19.99 a month, so I get more, for less. However, this month I am being charged £23.11 or something...

A universal flu vaccine which could mean an end to the annual jab is being tested on UK volunteers. It targets a different part of the virus to current vaccines, which means it does not have to be altered every year to match circulating strains.

Nobody Will Buy a Warm and Fuzzy Bill Gates The first Microsoft ad with Jerry Seinfeld is out, and it's baffling, even sad. The clip has Seinfeld finding Microsoft founder Bill Gates in a discount shoe store. A bit of silly (not funny) patter follows. The ad ends with the only mention of computers and a shake of Gates's butt. I'm not kidding. As MG Siegler notes at ...

Inspired by other forums out there, here's one. Your objective is to get the gold. Info: The walls and sharp pointy teeth are made of solid metals.

Go with CP/M. Quote - (non.sequitur @ Aug 31 2008, 23:54) Go with XP. They don't call Vista "Windows ME II" for nothing you know. It's garbage. See? Just get Vista. There's nothing wrong with it.
