    once we find whoever started it all, we can complain in person!

  4. Re:Seems reasonable enough. on Soviet Union Spent $1 Billion On "Psychotronic" Arms Race With the US · · Score: 1

    Its a pity this stuff doesn't work though - it would have made the recent NSA leaks a lot harder to prove - and much easier to suppress!

  5. Re:Really? on UK Town To Get Driverless 'Pods' Mixing With Pedestrians · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...stealing a great line from Terry Pratchett: Note for Americans and other aliens: Milton Keynes is a new city approximately halfway between London and Birmingham. It was built to be modern, efficient, healthy, and, all in all, a pleasant place to live. Many Britons find this amusing.

  6. Re:It followed a few of the plot lines, but ... on Critics Reassess Starship Troopers As a Misunderstood Masterpiece · · Score: 2

    is it true enders game is on there as well? what else was on it ?

    They are resposible - if they have been deemed to be in breach of PCI compliance, they will not be granted "safe harbour" by their issuing bank / {AMEX, Visa, MC}. In a nutshell it means that they will find it more expensive to do business from now on. It does often happen however that a business will decide that being PCI compliant is more expensive than the fines...

  8. another already exists... on Legalizing Online Futures Betting · · Score: 1

    this exists for horse trading - oddsfutures.com

  9. Re:Spam! on What Monty Python Teaches Us About Computing · · Score: 1

    and now for something more serious though - its a page with some python you tube clips on it. Seems a bit tenuous to extract meaning from them!

    > Also, it is considered dishonorable for a man to admit ignorance.

    So how do you explain that fucking bearded cunt in a suit saying stuff like `the holocaust didn't happen` and `we have no homosexuals in Iran`?

    he's really a progressive ?

  13. Re:Easy one: Descent on FPS Games That Need a Remake · · Score: 1

    You could make it work with a controller AND a motion detector (Kinect, Move, etc) so that you can use the controller for weapons/maps, and body movements for ship control.

    punch it chewie!

  14. can't do blanket submissions on UK Government Crowd-Sourcing Censorship · · Score: 1

    I tried http://www.dailymail.co.uk/* but it didn't work. seriously though - this seems open to abuse. Presumably they have to get a threshold number of complaints before they will look at something.

  15. Re:Hmm on What's Happened In Mobile Over the Past 10 Years · · Score: 3, Insightful

    yes, petty poor in terms of insight. also a bit US centric really. I'm pretty sure Nokia released a product before 2006, and that they've been more than just an entry level phone manufacturer before and since (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nokia_products). Of course this was before they seemed to stop bothering, or got stuck chasing apples tail depending on your point of view. IMO windows has never released a noteworthy phone either.

  16. Re:Secured by Default on The First Windows 7 Zero-Day Exploit · · Score: 1

    yes, but that's still not great is it? esp when it could be safer by design. It doesn't seem as if it would take a more-easy-to-spot DOS attack either - just a lightweight process occasionally spamming these bad URIs to Server 2008 and win7 boxes on the network.
