Just give up on life please?
You can't possibly try to rationalize how you are allowing yourself to multitask right into a dangerous hole that can not only stand to kill YOU, but stands to kill innocent people who had no hand or choice in, or have the ability to change the outcome of you using the fucking iPhone when you drive around, you stupid pig.
I sincerely hope anybody like you who tries to justify how 'texting while driving is not ok' but 'you still do it 30 times in the last 6 months of driving' die the next time you go to do it just because it'd serve your stupidity right.
Seriously, piss off.
I have to agree, no text is that urgent or phone call. Can we also add women putting on make up whilst driving too?
Well this post is brilliant, I live in Manchester (City Centre) UK and we have Peregrines here http://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/content/articles/2009/04/16/peregrine_diary_2009_feature.shtml
Just last week I saw one of them take a Pigeon out of the Sky and it was awesome! It happened so fast I thought it was a UFO.
I was also pleased to learn that peregrines have been used to test "G-force Meters" by the airforce and they constantly break them at 18G!
Wonderful.
Murdoch as we know is a media mogul, however in the BBC's defence, they have an obligation to provide news, radio and quality television programming.
I would like to point out that I used to protest paying the license fee, however the amount of advertising that is being carried on "Free to Air channels" is becoming more like America, whereby the balance of advertisements are almost as long as the programme you want to watch so the BBC license fee is acceptable.
Murdoch is quite right in so far that we must start paying for online news coverage so his criticism of the BBC is rather unfortunate as the BBC is not a free service!
Murdoch needs to understand he is already getting paid, especially as I already pay £23.00 per month to Sky TV on top of my BBC license fee of £11.50 per month for much better programmes. Rupert Murdoch actually has a habit of "bullying" smaller news agencies and has James Murdoch fronting his business plans. Please do not be taken in as Rupert Murdoch has no loyalties whatsoever.
He should lay off the £5,000.00 business lunches, helicopter flights, private jet flights, yacht and champagne for a while and come up with a more constructive option that is beneficial to all, instead of penalising "the hand that feeds him".
Therefore, IMHO the only solution to this problem is to get everyone talking "at the table" including the BBC and other News Corps to identify a fair share of profits and set aside greed or market share. Sooner or later the general public will not put up with current standards and there will be a revolt in which case it will be a battle of David and Goliath"
I know where I am going to put place my bets;-)

Typical. I am just thankful that the only money I ever borrowed in my life was to buy my own place and that is now paid off, but as long as society believes in "Boiler Houses" Getting a return on your investment forget it.
Hedge Funds, will be the next thing to hit the banking industry and when it does... you can kiss all investments worldwide goodbye including your cash. Forget the Federal Reserve or the IMF. The only safe way to avoid any economic depression, is buy gold.
You have been warned, the time bomb is ticking!
that is right, never assume anything. Assumption has caused more wars, fights, and upset in society than anything else. "Assuming something is the Weapon of Mass Destruction".
Really, all mobiles should be banned in schools and the above technology is not a solution to the problem.
My friend a recently retired Deputy Head Master of 38 years in teaching, has seen the mobile phone arrive over the years and how it has affected his pupils.
He told me, if it were not for mobile phones, there would be less crime in schools, less bullying, plus if Pupils came to school without mobile phones, they would be more attentive to the extent we could virtually scrap the amount of "Home Work" issued.
He also blamed parents for being "too soft" and said these children, would have far more social time, better exam results, virtually no home work, if they came to school without them.
I must say, I have to concur.
This will lead to people indulging in arbitrage.
Unless, of course, Microsoft has somehow put in a mechanism that disables a UK-bought Windows 7 when someone attempts to install it on a computer located in the US.
I travel to the US quite often from the UK on business. I cannot wait to see if this gets disabled.
Well I love all the old Williams arcade games and playing defender is very hard on anything apart from the layout on the old Arcade machine.
The ergonomics of this can only be slightly improved. Bring back Williams arcade games. Every other games sucks!
Well here is a short turorial when you need to transfer data from one box to another legally. It can also be used as you see fit;
1. A recent copy of uTorrent.
2. Your external IP address. You can use http://www.whatismyipaddress.com/ to find this.
3. Your listen port in uTorrent. You can find this in uTorrent's Options > Preferences > Connection > Port used for incoming connections.
4. You must be clever/connectable! This won't work if you don't have port forwarding correctly configured.
Here's what you need to do. Open up uTorrent and go Options > Preferences > Advanced. Scroll down to find bt.enable_tracker and set it to True. Restart uTorrent for this to take effect.
Now, create a new torrent. As usual, browse to find the file or folder you wish to share.
For the tracker url, use the following information:
http://your_ip_addressyour_listen_port/announce
So, for example, if your IP address is 123.123.123.123 and your listen port is 54321 then you would put this as your tracker url:
http://123.123.123.123:54321/announce
Remember to tick 'Start Seeding'. Tick 'Private Torrent' to disable DHT and Peer Exchange for this torrent if you want to.
Now press 'Create and save as..' and save the.torrent file somewhere. uTorrent should now connect (to itself) and the tracker status should be 'working'. You'll note it has a 10 minute announce interval.
All you need then is the.torrent file to start transfering content to another machine.
I have found this helpful in the past.
Well this does not really surprise me. I do beleive in the US at least DNA samples of every child born has been collected for many years.
Despite government denials here in the UK that it is not being done with our children, I am obviously dubious.
As for fabrication of DNA evidence, that does not surprise me either and certain labs do end up with cross-contamination and has been proven in the past.
I suppose the real problem is you just cannot trust DNA. There are unethical medical scientists out there experimenting all the time.
MoOoOoOo! I mean Bahh Dolly the sheep returns!
Really, Social networking sites need to be hit very hard! Not only that another/.er "in the know" should do an article on how much spam emails are generated by these sites.
I am going to go out on a limb and saying that I do not have a profile on facebook, however some people I know, add my email address so as for privacy issues they should be slammed big time. I am *furious* really I really am.
Well let me break the Official Secrets Act 1968 (hardly logged) to 1989, modified 1990 and terrorism act 2006.
I will leave my data unencrypted on trains, I might work for Mi6, but you will never know.
I might work for some secret military base in Cyprus. With Nuclear missiles.
I might leave data that is unencrypted in the hands of the KGB, I could be on the CIA payroll and a Double Agent or just a/.er:)
The point is clear Ladies and Gentleman. I should legally break the official secrets/terror act and let you know where our Trident Submarines are right now including co-ordinates and the names of people who have the keys and how to contact!/MOTD "I have got the key, I have got the secret".
Take a leaf out of Pink Floyd's book "hey teacher leave the encryption alone":)
This is rather a bitter pill to swallow, however it is a travesty of justice. The awards in no way represent compensation or fair justice.
I find it appauling to the extreme. When is someone going to stand up to the RIAA, legally and disband this corrupt organisation? They are just as bad as if not worst than what happened at Enron, which was the start of the economic downturn in reality and because people have no money, we are hitting an all time high of lawsuits of compensation.
May the.ogg be with you!
Do not use the campus network connections for anything other than study related tasks and save your work to a flash drive. If I were you, I would ask a local company, if you could do some work experience for them and use their internet connection. I do not know if this is frowned upon in the USA, but certainly here, I run an almost bulletproof network and any student that asked me to have access based on what you have said would be fine with me!
You probably can get wireless, stick an omni on your roof and you will certainly increase your range by 5 miles! Also modifying wireless cards is not that hard. Netgear and Atheros cards are pretty forgiving! There will be some students that can help you out with that and maybe feel the same why that you do!
I did read terms and conditions, but it was shocking enough just reading "The policies below are intended to supplement other existing university and external policies, regulations and laws" None of which they cleary define what the "other" means! I am confident enough you will find a way around this issue.
Remember the best way to defeat an enemy is to be for more creative! I sincerely wish you luck!
Awesome! mind you there is a market out there for doing what you said. "OK if I go through your home and throw away the things I think are crap?" We need more people like you!
I have some Beta Max videos you might like... The Exterminator! Corr blimeny I am getting flashbacks from my childhood.
In all honesty though, we still have issues with Kindles and Amazon.com. If you buy something you ought to own it outright... not lease the frecking thing which is in effect what is happening! Effectively you are buying content and being sold hardware that can be rendered useless because you never read the small print (terms and conditions).
I urge you all when making a purchase in future... goods of any value to read the terms and conditions for fun and anything you disagree with, make them change it if you feel it is unfair or write out your own "Terms and Conditions of sale", get them to sign it or you will not buy it.
Works for me!
We know space debris is a big issue and adding more satellites is going to be a problem.
The main issue here is grossly overlooked based on the existing "Cold War" of different Countries secretive space programs. That means one Country does not know what the others blueprints are and hence the United States gets pissed when China launches a satellite!
It is only a matter of time before something seriously goes wrong... who knows Halley's Comet might knock a few out next time!

@Seth, Lovely story Seth, Remember the television programme from the 1970's "Rent a Ghost"? =)
I am afraid you misread Dynetics for Dianetics. There is a difference even though it might sound the same to you.
