  1. Re:Heh heh.. riiight on Gamefly Complains of Poor Treatment From USPS · · Score: 1

    However, regulations are such that del. conf. can only be used on "parcels", a bubble-mailer counts - which for DVD movies probably raise the cost significantly for both packaging and processing (hence mailing cost).

    That seems pretty stupid, here in the UK, you can get delivery confirmation for any item posted

  2. Re:Broke the internets! on Google Search Flagging Everything As Potentially Harmful · · Score: 1

    I was looking up some Amarok stuff and thought the same.

  3. Re:A Television Revolution on Battlestar Galactica's Last Days · · Score: 1

    I think it will end at Season 4. But there's a new series called Caprica been commissioned to examine the creation of the Cylons.

  4. Re:"The Dead Will Rise" on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    And, is the 'clone' going to be owned by anyone. Will the company paying for the cloning own it? Will the government own it? Will it be a free individual with rights?

  7. Re:Just as with anything... on Leaked ACTA Treaty to Outlaw P2P? · · Score: 1

    How could border officials determine what is copyright infringing content?
    If I had some music files on my laptop, which I had ripped from CD, would these be deemed copyright infringing? As I cannot prove that I did not download them from somewhere?

  8. Ummm on LucasArts Layoffs Spark Many Rumors, Including KOTOR 3 · · Score: 1

    "Some of the titles they report LucasArts apparently have in this stacked pipeline, whether as publisher or developer, include: KOTOR 3, Battlefront 3, 'The Official Indiana Jones' game, another LEGO based game based on the Indy universe, and 'a lightsaber game for the Wii.'"

    Where is their information coming from? Indiana Jones Lego game is all set for release: http://www.lucasarts.com/games/legoindianajones/

  9. Re:cost of SMS? it's what people will pay on SMS 4x More Expensive Than Data From Hubble · · Score: 1

    As far as I can tell, they've actually got more expensive on some networks. I'm with 02, and remember when texts we 10p, now they're 12p.

  10. Re:Home Version on "Back To My Mac" Catches a Thief · · Score: 1

    Now that I thinks about it, this should be a Ubuntu package or at least a HowTO. That sounds really good, fancy writing one?
  11. Re:Going indie on Trent Reznor Says "Steal My Music" · · Score: 1

    There's already been the announcement of a remix 'Year Zero', which will probably be released later this year. And there's quite a few rumours of a Year Zero part 2, so he should be done with his label soon!

  12. Whinging Bastards on Apple Gives $100 Store Credit To iPhone Customers · · Score: 1

    I'm really loving all the whining going on here! Apple didn't have to give a $100 rebate, but they are, because for some reason they seem to care about the customers who slag them off at any given chance...And now you're still not happy because it wasn't the full $200 price drop. Goods change value over time, anyone who expected the iPhone to stay at the same price is quite silly. They dropped the price, deal with it!

  13. iPhone Compensation on Apple Releases New Touch Screen iPod · · Score: 1

    So now Apple are offering $100 vouchers to anyone has already bought the iPhone, before the price reduction! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6982717.stm

  14. Re:Why not update the official ipod site? on Apple Releases New Touch Screen iPod · · Score: 2, Funny

    That one isn't for sale, it functions as a jukebox in his house!

  15. Re:Why not update the official ipod site? on Apple Releases New Touch Screen iPod · · Score: 1

    It's updated now! I like the look of the iPod Touch, but the new Nano looks awful!

  16. Re:Someone please explain this.. on iPhone Freed From AT&T, Twice · · Score: 1

    In the UK, you can by sim-free phones, which can be used on any network, but they're vastly more expensive than getting one through a network provider. Oh, and I got my router from my ISP...

  17. Re:How are concert attendance and revenues doing? on Latest Music Piracy Study Overstates Effect of P2P · · Score: 1

    That is a problem, gig ticket prices are rising, plus the add-on of booking fees, credit card fees, and p&p which don't actually seem to apply to the product you buy, it actually turns into a rip off. I bought two tickets to see the Foo Fighters at £35 each, so £70 in total, but the final cost was £82 due to all the extra fees! Even now, I download things to try before I buy, and even the CDs I buy are never full price, I either get them second hand, or from a chain of shops in the UK called Fopp, which frequently sell albums for £5, although they aren't new releases, but modern music is pretty rubbish!
