Re: silent battery recall MBP - 17 years ago

I got one and so far it has been fantastic. Actually my last three laptops (AlBooks) have been refurbs and every last one of them a great deal. After all logic would dictate that if it is a refurb then the problem would be fixed. FWIW the MBP is the best laptop I have ever had from Apple, it just works.

Re: US/UK - 17 years ago

Apparently Bryan Singer hired him on the accent alone, supposed to be a New Engerland accent. Sounds no more dodgy than any other English actor putting on a bad American accent or vice versa. The show is good enough where you can work through that minor detail. Highlander worked and that is the benchmark by which all bad accents are judged, a Scotsman as a Spaniard, a Frenchman as a Scot... and s

Very good documentary, saw it a few weeks back. Dawkins is an arsehole, I like him, I like what he says, but he is such an arrogant prick at times and "The Root of All Evil" shows him at his worst (or best). Still, he gives a compelling point of view. Last weeks best docu's, John Peel's Record Box and I Don't Like Mondays. This weeks hot doc, Dr Money and The Boy with no Penis...
