Pron purveying protected from prying peepers. I've never understood why MS decided that your browser needed to keep a nigh-on undeleteable (for the layman) record of everything you look at on the web on top of "History", cookies etc. If I want my browsing history deleted, I mean I want it deleted, not "deleted except for some hidden files that the tech-savvy can look at". Cunts. But! Not cunts, for introducing the "pron mode". This has almost made up for that paperclip thing. |

That was pulled from Firefox3 late in development. It's a very hard thing to make work, as it has to patch almost every area of the browser -- cookie handling, history tracking, forward/back arrow histories, bookmarks, etc etc -- that they were concerned it would introduce tons of bugs.

Surely if you're using Safari, you have evolved beyond base desires anyway? |

Surely it could just set up an alternative temporary area to write to in exactly the same manner as normal, and then delete it as it goes along*. *and this must be easy! |

Did they know that when they made Trapdoor, I wonder? Undoubtedly. See also: Rex the Runt. No, do - it was brilliant. Rex: "I'm Rex, and welcome to my world. Tonight's special guest: Birmingham!" City of Birmingham: "O'riiiight!" --- Rex: Well, what about the Go-Back-in-Time-a-tron? You never use that anymore. It's just using up space. Can't we, I don't know, put some plants in it or something? Bad Bob: (reading newspaper, sighing) Go back in time and buy some crisps when they were cheaper. Cheese and onion. For example. |

I liked Rex The Runt. Vince amused me. |

Rex the Runt was awesomes. Have they DVD-ed it yet? |

Vince was great. It's the little touches that made him (and the programme) brilliant. Like when Vince gleefully repeats what people are saying just quietly enough for you to hear both their next sentence and him happily mumbling to himself. Particularly when Rex says "space-time continuum" and he gurgles "numnumnum". And when a picture is being taken for a totally mundane award, and a bunch of unseen cameramen start calling out to the cast like papperazzi ("over 'ere, rex, darling, 'ere y'are!"). Or "But be waaarned, moi brave little scro'ums!", complete with a gentle little cupping gesture. It really doesn't transcribe well though, clearly. Wikipedia says: Quote: "Series One has been released on VHS in the United Kingdom and on DVD in South Korea. A DVD of all 26 episodes has been released in the United States, but is region-free, so works on any DVD player, regardless of location." # Rex The Runt: The Complete Collection (DVD) (Region 0) (B000068QOF) Edit: Also on youtube! Hurrah! |

Not really no. Equally, why would you for one VHS? |

People only own one VHS tape? I have a hundred or so. It's also a damn-sight cheaper to record tv programs using a VHS than to buy a DVD writer. |

I think I have 5 VHS tapes. 1 Black Sabbath , Two Pearl Jam, Rex the Runt season 1, and Reading Festival highlights from 2001. I keep meaning to get them converted to DVD. |

That's probably about the same as me - I've got Metallica's 'One' and possibly one or two other Metallica videos and this -  which appears to be Vinnie Jones' Dad giving a Dreamcast a short back and sides. |

And the video from the Metallican. I did put a bunch of stuff on DVD, thankfully, before my VCR-DVD recorder went up the spout. |

VCR is only really cheaper if you take that to mean you already have one, and don't need to buy another. |
