  1. Re:86f? Seriously? on Photos of Chinese Sweatshop Used By Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Remember this is from a British newspaper. Brits tend to start sweating, melting and declaring a heat-wave if the temperature goes much over 75 F.

  2. Re:Go Canada! on Google Enumerates Government Requests · · Score: 2, Informative

    Surely population and removal requests are not linked? A repressive government would want to remove more results irrespective of how many citizens it is repressing.

  3. Re:this has been and will continue to be done wron on BBC To Make Deep Cuts In Internet Services · · Score: 0

    The imports refer to "acquisitions" rather than "co-productions".
    Simply put, an acquisition is an "off the shelf" series or programme made and sold by an another broadcaster or production company. A co-production has editorial input from all companies funding it.

    The BBC will likely look to increase the number of such co-productions as they reduce costs (shared between broadcasters) whilst retaining control over the look and feel of the programme.

  4. Re:Labour Party on BBC To Make Deep Cuts In Internet Services · · Score: 1, Insightful

    So the proper noun for the Australian political party is "Labor Party". If it was quoted here as "Labour Party" it would be a misspelling.

    Wish I had mod points. Mitchell & Webb was funny but Tim Minchin just made me wet myself.

  6. Re:really? on Craig Mundie Wants "Internet Driver's Licenses" · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily a bad question.
    No smoking, drinking, texting will be permitted.

    Next thing and I'm doing 10 years for SUI (surfing under the influence)

  7. Hey Guys on Craig Mundie Wants "Internet Driver's Licenses" · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Click on this Cool Link , it's really cool.

    Oh you clicked? Sorry, you failed. You are now banned from the Internet.

  8. Re:It's not that big of a deal... on "Vegetative State" Patients Can Communicate · · Score: 1

    According to TFA, the subject is asked to imagine a game of Tennis whilst being scanned. Sounds more like Pong than WoW. Probably so people that have been in a vegetative state since the 70's will know what to do.

  9. Re:Venus on ESA Conducts Mars Terraforming Experiments On ISS · · Score: 1

    I think the challenge with Venus is bioengineering something that can withstand the surface pressure of 93 bar (9.3 MPa).
