General rantings n quotes (backup)

"Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music" - Kristian Wilson, Nintendo
"Of course the USA was on the moon. You can still see all the bomb craters." - Unknown
I also couldn't help but laugh at the poll on /. today, abit of inhouse humor :P

AOL's Merlin DB may have been comprimised by a "hacker" (backup)

There's a story on The Reg about this, frankly alot of this is bad reporting and alot of it needs to be re-read and confirmed.
As a user on /. commented "AOL's central customer database, Merlin, may have been been compromised", What a stupid comment. In other news... "Aliens MAY have invaded Italy...", "Saddam Hussein MAY have a gay lover..." or "I MAY have sex with Liv Tyler tonight..."
ENN.ie also has a story about this...

It's the sCaRiEsT move EVER, apparently (backup)

All this hype about that nEw sCaRy movie called The Ring, I belive we've all heard "its the scarist
movie ever" line before many times before. INFACT many, many times before!
Frankly I'm abit sick of it, this hype thing is getting all out of control.
I'll be honest, I will go see the film but I REALLY doubt its being to scare me to death. :-)
Update: I've seen it, its a load of shite...

Should Air Strip 1 join the US?? (backup)

So I was watching Sky News (the crap channel that it is) last week and they had a poll asking should England (aka Air Strip 1) leave the EU and join up with the US.
A MASSIVE 86% voted in YES to the question, what is the world coming to?
I know that alot of people in the UK don't want to join the Euro, but this is a total joke.....are people really this stupid???
