Ha! The official press release says they're co-headlining Coachella. Didn't I tell you no-one would want to be billed above the Pixies?

Dave, your website crashes IE 5.2 on OSX. I was using it in a computer room, not on my computer which is far too nice to have such a horrible piece of software on it. Is anybody else good playing galstonbury? I've never noticed the glastonbury/gallstonebury thing like that before. hmm.

Mike

Cool, I can take out Microsoft! - I have absolutely no idea how I've managed that :-)
The glastonbury thing is just a rumour atm, but it's looking likely (hopefully)

mmmm, glastonbury. this year i'm definitely going. definitely. even if i have to kill a teenage mosher to get a ticket. not that i'll have to. i hope not anyway.

from you rlink:

"The Pixies, acclaimed as the most influential pioneer of the late '80s alt/rock movement, and who effectively blazed the path for groups like Nirvana, Radiohead and Pearl Jam to rise to superstardom,"

I haven't listened to very much pixies but I quite like what I've heard... but... how is allowing nirvana and Pearl Jam to eist worthy of praise? they're both shit. And Radiohead were shit until they stopped sounding like a shite band (sometime around The Bends which is still a bit shit as its a bit rawwk but i like it anyway). End of my random rant.

PS go and see Mum and Lambchop!

I wonder if MS will do a Valve and push back Longhorn to 2007 because of those evil hackers and what they'll do to the code. Not that I have no respect for Valve or anything...

BTW, amusing fact for the day, Windows 666 + 1337 = Windows 2003, thus demonstrating it was made by the evil 1337 ;)

Two things:
1) Damn this code is buggy - grep -r -i 'BUGBUG' source
7101
2) The people at Wine are gonna be more than quite chuffed with this... it's gonna make their life a whole lot easier.

Don't be stupid Tom. Nobody with any sense is going to go anywhere near that source code.

With comments like these, what hope is there for the code ?

No Darren, they aren't going to use it to work out exactly what stupid assed thing windows actually does rather than what is published... Sure they aren't going to use any of the code (unless they're particularly stupid), but they sure as hell will be trawling through it.

Bob

No, Tom, they won't because they're not stupid. There's no way in Hell anyone on the Wine team is going to be stupid enough to put themselves at risk by even having access to a copy of the Windows source code.

And so it begins.

Ahh, the wonders of prescience...

Radio 1 has recover from their loss somehow. But misses MnL, there is a big void where they once were. Now filled with 2 w*nkers who think they are funny...
