Comedy: Behind Byron's Bear
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."

Desktop Computer Mark Steel (MS): I had a radio series in the mid-1990s with the same format. I thought, 'There is a way of doing these talks that has jokes in but doesn't deviate from the subject.' It doesn't necessarily send up the subject. These sort of historical events are funny to anyone who's not an academic.

He'd got as far as counting 53,767 worms per acre when he'd stopped and worked it out. Then he decided to put these worms in the house. He filled up one room with them. Then he put a load on the billiard table, and he'd blow tobacco smoke at them and get his son to play a bassoon at them, and see how they reacted. Now, I find it extraordinary that any academic, or anyone, can read this and not find it incredibly funny. People like Darwin are so utterly single-minded and obsessed that they develop these really funny characteristics. They obviously were all geniuses - you know, Darwin altered the way we view the universe. And yet these people were all personally beautifully flawed. That makes them very funny.

Travelstar The books about Darwin will have the bit about the worms in there, but they just skirt past it. Anyone normal would think, 'What the fuck's with the worms?' Sir Isaac Newton, Byron, all these people, they're extremely funny. When Newstead Abbey - Byron's aristocratic home - was in financial difficulty, in his accounts was written down, 'One grizzly bear - 80'. But the biographer just carries on! Anyone normal would go, 'Huh? A bear?' I suppose he was skint and has this bear, so he must have seen it the way pensioners see their fags: 'I can't get rid of the bear, it's the only pleasure I get.'

Anyone on the left who's done a talk will know you want to get across what puts you at odds with the orthodox way of looking at history as being about the last 30 days - against the way the Sun or the Daily Star view history. So you try to put it in context. Straight away, regardless of people's politics, that unlocks a great deal for people.

Canon MS: It's especially ambitious on the television, actually. It seems reasonably ambitious on the radio. But that is just a lecture - it's not like writing a book. Anyone who's done a talk - say, a talk at Marxism - if you read a couple of good biographies, you can do a pretty reasonable talk. If you're doing a radio series you need to spend a couple of weeks reading. What's really hard with the television, more than the radio, is the jokes. Television just sucks up jokes.

Desktop Computers The first joke I did at the start of the Marx programme goes, 'Anybody looking at the world now can see that Communism doesn't work. If you had a party one night, and the only way to keep the guests in was with a 50 foot high wall, an army of snipers and even then some of the guests were trying to escape in a hot air balloon, you couldn't say, "Well, that was a successful evening".' I can do that joke on the radio, and that's it. As soon as that appears on the television screen there are people making little hot air balloons, a whole industry geared to setting up this one joke. And I'm thinking, 'Don't go to all that trouble, it's only a joke!'

Cisco MS: A couple of them were very good. The best one was the guy for the Aristotle programme, who gave me a wonderful quote - 'The people at the top of society make the mistake of believing that we can reduce all life purely to the amount of wealth that is embodied in the world.' I've not done it justice, but it's a brilliant quote. And of course it applies perfectly to, say, Blair.

Monitor When Blair talks about the arts, for example, he'll always say, 'Yes, I'm a big supporter of the cinema, it's created lots of jobs,' or, 'Music is an underestimated industry in this country,' and then run through bands who make profits for the British economy. And of course this is exactly how they think. So it works well, having this Aristotle quote about what we see in Blair and Mandelson. Blair just thinks this is success. When Blair talks about success, he doesn't think you've done something well, or been creative, unless what you've created is money.
