    Commador PET phone? But they are only putting emulators on it for the C64 & the Amiga. What about the PET for crying out loud if you're going to call it a pet phone it needs to have a build in datacorda and a screen that weighs 7KG :D

  12. Re:Fuck yes! on NSA Releases Open Source Security Tool For Linux · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Actually my first thought was how will hackers use this tool ti identify and exploit security issues in vulnerable sites. As ever any tool used to increase security can be used to exploit it.

  13. Re:Tax dollars at work. on Man Arrested After Charging iPhone On London Overground Train · · Score: 1

    They are not actually police. Their powers of arrest are the same as anyone elses ie they can do a citizens arrest. Mostly they are there to give the impression of more police on the beat. They do not get the extensive training that police do, niether do they have to pass the riggorus medical tests the police do. The only real power they have is to detain you for upto 40 mins until a real cop comes. Most police officers regard them as a bit of a joke. This is not to say that some police forces don't push the boat out and get them properly trained and hold them to high standards. Those forces would be in the minority.

  14. Sorry I got baud of that

    Given that the typical response from climate scientists when confronted with shrinking Ice caps on Mars is that its to do with the Martian rotational plane and that the suns output never varies. I find this very interesting
