How many do you remember or have you suffered from? Personally the phrase "
thin client" still makes me shudder. All the thin client projects I've been near in the past have been, thankfully, canned, but I still meet people trying to implement this architecture.
Having used mainframe dumb terminals (I've even *whispers* done some mainframe programming in the past) I'm not totally sure why you'd want to do this with a PC. PC's work fine as they are. If you want some central control over them this can be done with network software from experienced companies like Novell or Micro$oft. Trust me I've seen it work.
Most of the items in the top 10 that I remember are more than worthy of their place, I'm not sure about VoIP though. Years ago when most connections were modem based VoIP seemed crazy, but now it not only seems more practical, I've actually seen quite a few sucessful installations with some smart looking Cisco kit.
The pictures of the
PlayStation Portable that were circulating a while back looked damn cool. The
PS3 concept isn't looking so bad either.
Queer eye for the straight guy
hit UK shores a few weeks ago and for many reasons, mostly not intentional I suspect, it's one of the funniest TV shows currently on air. Anyway I'm sure there'll be a million and one parodies, but the best I've seen so far is
Mac eye for the Windows guy from
Joy Of Tech.
Bizarre Love Triangle was just the
title of a
New Order song, but now it's also some fine French
animation.
[Note: make sure you download the suggested Quicktime extension file - it's all very disappointing without it, and well worthwhile with].
Bloogz is a handy blog search engine with a blog
link rank list. Especially useful if
blogs kill Google.
The new
Doctor Who series is out now, it's an animated flash adventure, and is voiced by Richard E Grant. I don't know if this resolves the whole who's going to be the next Doctor Who question, would he do this on television as well? Interesting and entertaining all the same, but Eddie Izzard still gets my vote.
Fantastic news an official report has shown that the old advertising slogan is true - Guinness IS good for you. I might stop in the pub on the way home tomorrow and sink a couple of pints - purely for medicinal reasons of course.
Seriously, you cannot be serious, the ball was on the line. Homestar McEnroe's guide to tennis.
If you want a
good drink 
you need to know how to
ask for it [

Pushing the boundries of what the Financial Director of my company might sign off, I'm looking forward to submitting
my expenses this month. Probably NSFW [
