  1. Re:Techincal Lords... on Spam, Milord · · Score: 1

    for it to of gotten to the Lords it must of gone through the Commons, all the Lords do is say "This is bollocks, reword it".

  2. Re:Monty's House of Lords on Spam, Milord · · Score: 1

    How can they stop Blair deciding to kick the whole lot of them out and install an elected or appointed second house?
    this was voted on in the Commons, and Blair is against it (actually most of 'em were against it, I watched on DVB). Some members of parlement are for hergetarry Lords! (which are being phased out).

    I should guess the person transcribing it has a button to auto-type "Lord Bob Of Irreventness".

    It does not really matter, Lords are not paid so can waste as much time as they like.

  5. Re:as much as I hate reality TV... on Spam, Milord · · Score: 1

    You can watch it (either using DVB[1] in the UK, or on the website).
    However while the Commons are intresting, the House Of Lords is dull and ofton irrelvent (spam laws being scrutinized by people that don't know where the term comes from and "bearing in mind that some of us wish to be protected from having an e-mail?").

    IMO the Lords should be scrapped, they are unelected and outdated.

    [1] FreeView, I don't know if it is also shown on other digital providers (Sky/NTL).

    But just above that is:
    Baroness Strange: My Lords, does the Minister agree that sardine tins and anchovy tins are also very difficult to open with their tin-openers?

    Fantastic :)

    Most SCO customers, after installing the base OS, started off by installing the full GNU toolchain. The provided tools sucked too much.

    But this happens on pritty much every UNIX (and alike).

  7. Re:Sony also introduced a new accessory for the Pl on Sony To Release PSP Handheld Console In 2004 · · Score: 1

    I think the best quote of that article is
    The best part is that it actually doesn't matter whether you're a gaming pro or a complete beginner, because since there's no controller anymore

    Fantastic ;)

    maybe midp2.0 has some 3d(haven't checked into that)
    Nope, JSR 184 covers it, and has quite wide support (Nokia, Sun, Motorola, Matsushita & Sony) reading the voting for it, it sounds like the 3D support is based on OpenGL.
    and missing floating points
    You can get MathFP to get round that problem.
