I just got these through the post... They go in, and they're pretty solid. The ones above (that I ordered) actually have surprisingly long pins - but I guess that's not a big problem. They can always be cut down.
Fitting them isn't totally easy though. You need quite a lot of force. You can't just press down on the board because when they push through they'll poke a hole in your finger!
I found that if you stick them in a vice (making sure there's enough room for the pins to push into the other side) you can fit them pretty easily - but I wonder how many people have a vice but not a soldering iron!
