Apparently spaghetti hoops make a great Alphabetti Spaghetti for chimps.

It's pretty much impossible to make an espresso on a home machine with pre-ground coffee and sixty quids worth of accessories. Cost so far = £300. Drinks palatable = 3. I may as well drink very fine wine or very mature whisky.

Eating coelacanth gives you the runs. Wax esters, y'see.

Just as well we're not living in the Cretaceous period then. There's a better choice of fish now... as long as we don't make them all extinct. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

 What unrefined gold looks like, before it's turned into a chavvy chain for darts players.

Just how much difference good quality TIM (thermal interface material) makes. I've always used quality stuff, but got caught out at the weekend after a rebuild; to upgrade my cooling. I didn't know I'd run out of TIM, and Sunday evening is a bad time to find out; so I made do with some cheap, generic, thermal grease. Stock speed idle temps, with 1v vcore, are roughly the same as I'd expect when running the CPU at 4GHz, and that's after adding additional cooling.

It's worth watching just for Eva Longoria in skimpy outfits.

No. It's crap. Like hollyoaks, I keep it on mute and in the background. Or better still, I'll watching some more cerebral. Like Jackass.

That some of the upcoming tablets will have "companion cores", meaning a fifth core that takes over for basics like web browsing to conserve battery life  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:
