I don't know how many times I and other posters on here have pointed out that he can have all his news sites excluded from search engines by giving a few simple instructions to his webmasters. I'm starting to think he's not paying attention.
If we are to continue with DNA profiling, the collection and storage of specimens needs to be taken away from the police and shifted onto an impartial public service which favours neither prosecution or defence. We also need to ensure that samples are only taken from people against whom there is a reasonable suspicion of involvement in a specific crime. The police should not be able to arrest someone for a minor offence, DNA-rape them and then run the sample against millions of other unrelated offences.
These arguments about the difficulty of seeing whether a potential victim is an insurgent or a cameraman have zero validity, because the US troops shouldn't be there in the first place. If the Iraqi army was on patrol in LA, I bet the pro-war posters on here wouldn't be saying 'It's OK for them to shoot civilians because they can't be sure they aren't insurgents.' All the more so if they'd already killed tens of thousands of US civilians, and engaged in torture and imprisonment without trial.
The real issue with Chrome is all the malware that comes with it - GoogleUpdate and the THREE scheduled tasks it secretly installs to replicate itself. Being eviller by the day it seems.
The New Labour religious hate laws that made this amusing story possible also grant the same privileges to Christian and Muslim fanatics. You can be sure the use they make of them will be a lot less chortlesome.
Some salt is necessary to make certain recipes work at all, and to make others palatable. But restaurant cooking is notorious for using more salt than is necessary, so measures to prevent this would be welcome.
With the old 80s BASICs you had a lot of work on your hands to organise a program. You had to note down line numbers of subroutines and be disciplined in choice of variable names so as not to create unwanted side-effects. As more structured languages came along, this effort was no longer necessary - I was happy to learn Pascal, then C and C# because of the possibility of less typing, less notemaking and less headscratching.
This story reminded me of a grumpy book 'Silicon Snake Oil' I once read, which advanced the same thesis. I was going to ask whether anyone had heard from author of that recently, till I found that he and Mr C. Stoll are one and the same person.
Yeah, fuck James Murdoch. Of course BBC news isn't free. But in any case, I'd rather pay the BBC, with all its flaws, £131 a year for its reasonably impartial news than give one single penny to the Murdoch hate machine.
One good thing about the New Labour gleichshaltung is that British people have largely lost the trust in the police that they used to have. The way the police have behaved over DNA, and over the Stockwell killing, and the way they've treated anti-war demonstrators, have all had their effect. As Joe Orton pointed out, it's a far healthier society when people have a proper wariness of the police.
Given the Olympics' long association with both literal fascism (Samaranch) and metaphorical fascism (allowing the Chinese secret police to beat up protestors on the streets of London in 2008, the clearances prior to 2012, the massive surveillance scheme planned for 2012), why does this story surprise anyone?
What Linux distributions need is a reliable way of pre-checking which hardware items are and aren't supported. It's a waste of time going through the installation process and then finding that you can't print, scan, use a USB device unless it was connected at boot, or even middle-click to close a tab in Firefox, ffs.
If you can't stop them watching you, your only resort is to jam them with useless and misleading information. So instead of poking their noses into your legitimate purposeful activities, they'll then be forced to spend time analysing why you're seen on surveillance cameras every Saturday at 3.15pm looking into the window of Erotic Cakes.
We aren't wasting our employers' time. We're keeping abreast of developments in the industry. In fact, I'm using my break time to do so, so really I'm entitled to credit rather than reproach.
The idea of forcing people to enter PINs into any machine controlled by a retailer was ridiculous from day one - the supposed extra security of Chip & Fraud was merely a way for the banks to transfer liability for fraud to the customer. (Happily the FSA has now forbidden them to do this unless they have actual genuine proof that the customer gave away their PIN - well done guys, springing into action after only 4 years of complaints).
They'll never program robots to have the hatred, malice and spite of real coppers. Maybe a robot could gun down an unarmed man on a tube station platform, but could it convincingly circulate a wholly misleading account of events afterwards? And then, after the inquest, issue a press release basically saying "We don't care, we'll do it again if we feel like it".
This nightmare is like GM crops, but ten times worse. It's one thing to put agriculture entirely in the hands of US corporations, but giving them control over our immune systems could be described as foolish. I think it would be simpler to cut out the middleman by committing suicide immediately.

Participants who are also gun enthusiasts might not have been sufficiently stressed by these photos. Just aroused.

Don't be fooled by the surface changes. AntiWho is still the same old offensive parody of the true Who.

HTML5 could be 75% slower than Flash for all I care, if it meant I didn't have to install tons of Adobe crapware onto my PC just to view web video.
The scientologists know whereof they speak when it comes to intolerance. Just ask Paulette Cooper.

Assume all online advertising is deceptive and ignore it. If something is worth buying, someone you know will mention it.

Trust New Labour to turn Art into a means of oppression.

Environmental issues may not be humanitarian just yet, but in 50 years or less they certainly will be.

No doubt this material would have been of enormous use to poor Dr Max Box and his quest for two identical snowflakes.
