then the cart could really stick to the corners and crank some speed. this thing has heaps of potential. especially as the karts could have weapons, speed control, be modded like crazy. and the whole thing could be run o'er the good ol' net... Arr, I predict some underground gambling to be done. screw rooster fighting, this is the next big thing. my kart is going to be made from epoxy lego for sure! respect to the work and spirit of fun that has gone in there! the wharehouse site is very cool too.
As far as I can tell from reading the article, this proves that cosmic rays distribution does not follow a truly random pattern as they hit earth. Given that these rays originate from stars/nova/events and these events are not randomly distributed in the universe, why is this a surprise? I can only guess someone has theorised that if the universe is infinitely big, then the cosmic ray distribution should tend towards perfect (infinite) randomness. Can anyone shed light on the theory that this finding is diproving? links? This could also prove that the earth is travelling fast through rays, so it impacts more in the direction it moves, presumably the scientists have allowed for this too....
the news here perhaps isthat the marketing script-kiddies now have the data in a form they can go to spam-town with. Not really a leak, but an accessible-format conversion. I look forward to the statistics being crunched in amusing ways... % of "female" people who have the words "sex" and "city" and "2" and "terrible" in their data...98%
Good move, I did the same, bought a silver MTbike, then covered it with red/brown rusty spray, patches of manky tape and never cleaned it. Theives away! the dutch are masters of this art of course, everyone there has 2 bikes, one they can (and do ) leave out on the street all the time, that is a rideable (pink?) rust bucket and one that is black, shiny, and stays indoors and is only ridden on the weekend.
Cover-judging manipulation for fun, and profit.
I support your outrage, As an Oz resident, and a netizen. This is not cool. I also am considering to leave, although a pa$$port burning is not yet on the cards. Do not forget the Australia gov' has a pretty nasty track record in a lot of areas. At least this info is being leaked/discussed, not completely censored.
The front page is ok, but clicking a few links resulted in a weird glitch-style reload. After a few goes, a login page came up, with a redirect to the subscription page. 2 quid a week is an OK price, but I agree with petes POV. The biz model is tanking, not the paywall.
Just one problem? This system is like parapsychology clairvoyance crossed with plain old applied gut-instinct prejudice. These SPOT crews are using humans in a pyscological 'sniffer dog' role. Sniffer dogs cannot be called to testify, and can be trained to 'find' things anywhere. The only upside seems to be as a redundant fail-safe system that might be a little independant from tech.
Add to the list of ways to locate an Internet user:
- Cell tower used (if connected via 3G etc).
- Snoop through their stored data.
- Ask them and get them to tell you voluntarily.
True this is wrong. I do however like your..(sarcastic I know).. idea of a system that uses Mod Points for grassroots traffic enforcement. On the many occasions a dangerous driver has narrowly missed me and then sped off into the distance, I have wished I could add a strike to the three, for example, that are required to suspends their license. Sorry to mess with your car metaphor, but a driving license is a priviledge, not an inalienable right. I do agree with the spirit of your argument, that for citizen rights, like access to the internet, freedom of speech, the onus should be on proving guilt.
there is no statements about how copyright infringement will be detected, and engaged with. At least there is some engagement with suggesting legal digital frameworks or 'alternatives' as the article calls them. Soon, the old-skool 1982 power-suit-jockeys will lose their tenuous hold on power, and the new wave of network savvies will start voting in some sane laws. Not soon enough from the looks of it.
The Big News guys are clearly getting desperate. Essentially I think this is a move to boutique magazine status, or peer journal as someone else said above, for the Times'. I think it is great, that news and The News are now parting company, we can get info of quality at slashdot and others, and there is less (?) digging through piles of propaganda, ads and lowbrow white noise that essentially were required to pay for newspaper's monopoly, running a huge printmachine, using newspaper, and distributing newspaper.The big picture is heading towards efficiency. Our brains win.
The IP in industry Vs Turnover/gross. Essentially this looked like it might be a counter-argument to the core of the talk. If someone can get very rich, in a relatively 'small' industry, then that is a greater motivator to that person. Just because everyone spends money on prepared food, does not mean that the recipe industry is a good way to make dough, ahem, dou$h. A good graph would be average income of persons (including corps) in some of the hi IP and low IP industries.
Just to clarify, I work in a remote Indigenous community in central Australia. I have experienced this stuff repeatedly applying directly to me and this community. Yes, I am ranting apologies...
This smells of greenwashing, and carpetbagging,

The incongrous partners, the 'Noble Cause', and a big money field (new soft') makes me think that this is all about self-promotion, smokescreening and of course, profit. I would bet that on or near those dates, something is happening that those bears all want hidden/downplayed. Equally likely is that this is a branding excercise----> the Western World is freaking out about privacy, loss of data control, climate change. So, what is a positive spin on all of those issues...... Disaster management! Do not fear, Microsoft will share with Google the unique ID code on your WINXP machine, Goog will let MS know what you searched for, just before the tornado-flood-quake-meteor hit. Nasa gets to trial their new robot to dig you out, and Yahoo uses active tracking cookies they sent into your GPS smartphone to Ping your whereabouts to.05 meters. You, your litter of puppies, a kitten are all saved by open-sauce hot firefighters. Epic PR win!
See, privacy and data control is unsafe people.
Cynical I know, but the 'war' on 'ter-rorism' is so stale these days.....
..of these. Also, in tourist driving areas, caravans and rubber neckers only thanks. What about tourist lifts that go around buildings, rather than up and down?
..accept it, is to go and get this baby. It should fetch a good price on ebay. I can only imagine the difficulties of finding this craft in the Pacific Ocean, but if you could... Legend status is yours.
I recall Telstra Australia coming up with a plan to put WIFI in all the old payphone booths, instead of junking them beacuse everyone was going to mobiles (but may now swing back, thaks to cancer concerns). I don't know if it took off or not. Any other readers know?
Nice to know even the Rocket Scientists just turn it off and on again. At least they were clever enough to allow themselves access to the system, rather than having to come up with some workaround, like waiting for it to go into a planet's shadow to power down.

http://www.ips.gov.uk/cps/rde/xchg/ips_live/hs.xsl/1691.htm Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said: "The wasteful, bureaucratic and intrusive ID card scheme represents everything that has been wrong with government in recent years." Boom! heady stuff in the UK, leading the free world.
