    I'm not a professional web developer, not in my current role :-P

    How so? Care to elaborate or provide an example?

    "Google bribe the right people at HMRC"

    If you looked at the career history of those at the top of HMRC you would see that there is no need for bribery.

    IIRC, Vodafone escaped a huge tax bill by taking one of the HMRC top dogs to dinner. Once.

    Not quite 'Minimum Bribe Level: 1 Turnip', but not far off.

    But who's still burning to CD in days of streaming and huge hard disks?

    Me. My car's got a CD player, but no Bluetooth/Line-in.

    I know you're not trolling - I just think you've got the science a bit wrong. Then again, maybe I have. *makes note to research a bit more*

    They don't - synchrotron radiation is released when electrons are radially accelerated by magnets. In an atom, radial acceleration is precisely zero, so energy loss is also exactly zero.

    Reading comprehension fail.

  8. Re:Maybe our universe is a 'matter bubble' on Does Antimatter Fall Up? · · Score: 1

    Why is it that that the negatively charged electrons in atoms are not attracted to and crash into the positively charged nucleus?

    Same reason the Moon doesn't have a giant rocket in its side.

    Many of them are published by Microsoft Studios.

    Which is the gaming division of MS - the Metro team has as much control over them as I do over the orbit of Pluto.

    Who said anything about driving to the store?

    He may have been thinking of the U2, which flew at the edge of (1950s) space, and took off and landed like, well, an aeroplane :)

    Just like how cellphones will never fit into your pocket.

    Congratulations, you are an idiot!

    You're right - I should have included a sarcasm tag.

    Real snakes have an advantage of great flexibility, high energy density and low weight. This contraption has no hope to utilize either of those things.

    Just like how cellphones will never fit into your pocket.

  15. Re:I'm surprised on MPAA Executive Tampers With Evidence In Piracy Case · · Score: 2

    Exactly. I'm not surprised it happened, I'm surprised it got reported!

    Has it been reported anywhere outside of hardcore-techie web sites? I bet Fox News isn't covering it.

    Of course Fox News isn't covering it - it's news.

  16. Re:The best reason for DRM on Ask Slashdot: Are There Any Good Reasons For DRM? · · Score: 1

    don't you ever get bored of manufactured teen angst and synthetic teen rebellion? or even just the sound of rock guitar and drums?

    You could always try a bit of story telling. Or maybe a good bit of motoring.

    You do know installers check to make sure things like DirectX (and/or other dependencies) are installed first?

  18. Re:Can they say no? on WikiLeaks Donations By Visa Ruled OK In Iceland · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It is my understanding that Valitor is a private company. Can they simply refuse to process transactions in Iceland "taking my ball and going home" style?

    Of course they can; they did. Now they've been found guilty of unlawful contract termination.

    The british empire, happy to fight any man in the room as long as he's much shorter, starved, and they can sneak up behind him and hit him over the head with a baseball bat first.

  25. Re:Unpopular laws are undemocratic on Speeding Ticket Robots — Laws As Algorithms · · Score: 1

    This is flat out evil on several levels. When a majority of people ignore a law, that is a withdrawal of the delegated authority to make law, and in a democracy would void that law, irrespective of whether it is just or reasonable. Any government that attempts to enforce law in such a case has overstepped its authority.

    You, sir, need help.
