    "This article is the perfect example of that. The fact that they think any real person will use or understand a "sandbox mode" is just laughable."

    I both understand and welcome a sandbox mode in phones, and I marvel at the technology they use to produce tiny buckets and spades.

    "You start the download, then do something else"

    You can do that? Boy, do I need a different BT client. I have to check each packet received by hand, and stamp each outgoing packet with the recipient's zip code.

    the program usually doesn't work.

    Or it will work in new and exciting ways.

    I don't know about you, but given the choice, I'm not too thrilled at the prospect of sitting around in the dark for twenty million years waiting for the coal to replenish itself.

    As other commenters have said countless of times: The planet will be fine.
    The problem is trying to halt the current wave of mass extinctions before it's our turn to go the way of the dodo.

  15. Re:More than one type of plastic on "Liquid Wood" a Contender To Replace Plastic · · Score: 1

    Instead of buying your salami in cheap plastic packaging you'll simply buy it in a can.

    Interesting that you automatically assume that salami needs any packaging at all, considering that it has been successfuly sold unpackaged for hundreds of years.

  16. Re:police state? - been there! on UK Government Plans 10-Year Database of Citizens' Travel · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The fact that an instance of policemen acting like human beings is so exceptional that it warrants an article in a national newspaper says enough for me.

    The meteor was real.Tektites are found throughout the area (which stretches from Vietnam to Australia ) indicating a large meteorite impact.
