Thanks Lans, just noticed there's already a 'Just Wondering' thread so am happy for this discussion to be deleted as I can't find any option to do it myself.
-
I think we'll need the thread anyway.
So....
Is the JFK grassy knoll the only one in the world? I've never heard of any others. -
If printers can be wireless, why can't scanners?
I vote for less wires. -
My printer/scanner combo is wireless, so you can
-
I haven't got time for your facts. Everything needs to be wireless now. Wireless tv's too.
-
Sinclair had a wireless TV years ago son, where've you been?
-
I mean a big telly.
-
Jeez, you'll be asking for a wireless moon on a stick next!
-
No sticks!
-
You can't have a moon on a stick without a stick by definition you silly goose!
-
You can have a stickless moon though.
-
Anyone know how I can get rid of this dammed smiley thing that pops up in Facebook when I try and enter a comment?
It's driving me daft! -
I am, right now, installing a wireless printer. It'd better be fully bloody wireless cos it didn't ship with a USB cable ....,
-
@Mamemeister - Check your apps list and remove anything that looks like crap in there
-
Mame, does that little X between the final smiley and the lock icon not get rid of it?
-
@mamemeister that looks like an app to me, I dont have that on my FB, go look at what apps you have installed and delete whats not wanted or required.
TGG -
I'm obviously thick because I simply can't see any screen to remove apps only change notifications.
:-/ -
@Mamemeister Apps is on the left hand side of the screen just above the little pics of your friends
EDIT:
On your News Feed screenPost edited by Sir_LANsalot at 2011-02-26 13:04:34 -
you can also find the apps if you go to Account - top right of page then account settings, bottom of the page is apps and setttings, all you need is in there.
TGG -
There was no obvious App-ly named App so I deleted the lot and the fucker has gone - I hope.
Cheers for the help as always people.
:-)

there's a mini tutorial on html use here.
there's also some font stuff a bit further down.
-
My new printer has its own email address. When did that start happening? What next, it's own Facebook page? It'll probably start posting here soon enough.
-
We have them at work - i think they use use twitter to report low toner ;-)
-
That's creepy.
-
It's pretty cool really - you can send prints to the email address and it will print it.
-
I sent it an email. It printed out the contents, then, smugly, emailed me back to let me know that the job was done. It's true, in the age of the Internet, nobody need be lonely ever again. I've added it to my Hotmail contacts already.
No doubt it'll start spamming me next. It'll be nag nag nag as soon as the ink starts running low. Next up it'll be starting a conversation on Messenger. And trying to make friends with the blu-ray player. -
Kettle says: @mugsy Get me some descaler you tight bastard lololololoz
-
Get worried when it tries to sell you a timeshare.
-
So lilley, what's the email address?
-
Naffoff@notonyournelly.com
-
I'll be proper worried when it tries to sell me the idea that I need a cock even larger than the one I already have.pagettypol said:Get worried when it tries to sell you a timeshare.
On the bright side it appears to have been manufactured in China. Thank God it's not Nigerian. I dread to think of the trouble that it might have gotten me in to.

Ha! It's like you don't even want an A4 spunking cock appearing off the printer at 3am.

I was plannning on delivering a pressed-ham

If people put 'Untested' against Ebay auctions for old electronic stuff as it's basically their get out clause of selling it stuff they know doesn't work?
Every Atari VCS auction I seem to look at lists the unit as 'untested', why not plug it in and check? -

Alot of people put untested to avoid having to pay out for a certified electrician checking out items to verify they aren't dangerous. Much like second hand shops having to have all gas/electric items tested before they are allowed to resell them by law. -
My mate sometimes does this if he isn't confident that old tech will survive the mailing process.

-
Why does @Orava always refer to himself in the third person?
-
Because he doesn't even like to treat himself as an ordinary person.
-
Puffle is bemused by this egocentric behaviour.
Oh. -
Our Societies lecturer in uni always referred to himself in the third person, he'd say things like "I wonder what xxxx would do in this scenario"
Consequently, we nicknamed him "The Rock" -
Hmmm .... It's something that is often observed in very young people e.g. the 5 year old Orava might once have been observed to have said: 'Orava want to go wee wee'. So maybe he never grew up?
-
Rexxfiend finds this funny ;-)
-
Why don't they show Tarzan films on the telly any more?
-
The Johnny Weissmuller ones? Staggeringly non-PC possibly.
-
He really talked down to that chimp.

Well I spoke too soon, the buggers still appear. I'm officially stumped.
-
I'm suprised they haven't done a politically correct remake of Tarzan. He'd be some sort of tree hugging eco-warrior. Jane no doubt would be touting a Blackberry in her Radley handbag, setting off to her high powered job every morning, brokering deals for sustainable forestry.
The Chimp?
Probably be played by Hugh Grant. We'd see him embark on some hapless courtship of a cute singing chipmunk who teaches him table manners and makes him feel guilty about licking his arse in public.
Tsk. How I wish for a return to more simple times. -

I feel your pain. Thanks to you bastards in the Amiga thread, I've been looking at getting an A1200 and so many of them are complete with PSU and yet have the 'I don't have time to check if it works, it did last time I tried a couple of years ago' included in the copy. Yet they have the time to take a million photos, write a description and decide a stupid 'buy it now' price.
I took a risk once on a Speccy +2 with that description, it looked ok on the photo and I thought that it had simply been in an attic for years and it'd be fine. It arrived and of course was dead as the proverbial. Opening it up revealed a ton of hair (cat, I guessed) and the bottom inch or so of the motherboard was proper rusty. Luckily it was only a few quid to buy, but never again.Post edited by stormyX73 at 2011-02-27 20:32:21
