  1. Re:Woooooooooow on Microsoft Patenting Celebrity-Shaped Bing'ing · · Score: 1

    I want to say "taste in what I watch"; but you're right, I have no TV. I'd used to watch endless hours of utter rubbish. Awful stuff. I've not had a TV since Feb and life is better. If I really "need" to watch something, it's all on-line legitimately. If it's not legitimately available, I don't watch it. I don't need it. Like a Newspaper pay wall, the content isn't worth the effort to see when there is so much else out there.

    Yes, we can't have a proper shave without those. I like your thinking. Around this 8 place Oak Dining Table & Chairs we'll have the grandest meal on any pole.

  3. Re:Should be obvious on Behind the Scenes: How Conflict Photographs Come To Be · · Score: 1

    No, it's complexly possible to create an objective photograph. It's very complex, so people stick to the basic level impossible.

  4. What about the children? on Big Brother Calls 'Shotgun' In Illinois · · Score: 1

    What if a baby (a baby) does a huge poop (they store that up for the car, I'm sure of it) and you have to change them in plain site of that evil camera. Why you would being filming and transmitting what is by all means scat child porn. I'd refuse on those grounds alone...
    a bit silly I know; but the law is the law.

  5. Re:Go away customers! on Sony Bringing PSN Pass To All First-Party Games · · Score: 1

    People will keep on buying and accept that's the way it is. I want to change your +1 Insightful to +1 very sad.

  6. Re:Small fry on New Supercomputer Boosts Aussie SKA Telescope Bid · · Score: 1

    I've never been able to get my head around that fact. When an Aussie says "A 3-day drive". He's not using the UK understanding. Drive for a little bit, park up, sleep and set off the next day. He means a 72 hour drive add extra for sleep. The place is HUGE!

    They'll try and get it too. just you watch.

  8. Re:Thank you Wario on British Schoolkids To Be Taught Computer Coding · · Score: 1

    Thanks, that one passed me by. +1 informative from me.

    This is a really bad thing. I don't need the competition in 20 years time :) Kids that have grown up on consoles and know nothing are a joy. Thank you Mario.

  10. Re:Apocalypse how? on Facebook To Put Off IPO Until Late 2012 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    To be honest it's a pain. It's blocked from just about every work place and even after you've clocked off and you want to go drinking all the info is locked away. The phone app is so invasive I've un-installed it and make do with awful webpages they serve up on mobile.

    I book people for events and people book me for events and to be honest, it's one more point of contact that I could do without. It's best use is for one to many dissemination of information. For many to many it is dire; but as so many people are on, it I'm stuck with it. It has a long way to go and I'm looking forward to the next company that steps over it with something better. Getting everyone to move will make that hard.

  11. Re:Incentivise on EU Extends Music Copyright to 70 Years · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hmm. Do you think it's a conspiracy to keep Yoko from needing the money and start singing again? Are we safe with 70 years? Japanese women live for ages.

  12. Re:Opensource and open standards are different thi on UK: Open Standards Must Be Restriction Free · · Score: 1

    $100 billion per copy??? If I download that please don't count it as a lost sale. :)

    They do. It has a pirate copy of Team America on it. Some things the CIA do are +1 funny.

  14. Re:erm 50 years away. on UK Joins Laser Nuclear Fusion Project · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Wow, way to completely and totally misunderstand the point of a sarcastic remark. If they could start harnessing the power of autism you could solve the energy problems of the world. That was also a sarcastic remark - if that helps. 17:30 means beer o'clock. tata.

  15. erm 50 years away. on UK Joins Laser Nuclear Fusion Project · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If someone asked that question 50 years ago, shouldn't we have it by now? Just because something is hard.

  16. Re:It doesn't matter what you would like to see on Patent Reform Bill Passes Senate · · Score: 1

    If you had a decent government doing all the research and letting people profit from the findings, which you then tax you can still end up with a decent move forward. The work done when paid for by tax and should be free anyway. Now where do you get a decent government?

  18. Re:Hmm on Tech Company To Build Science Ghost Town In New Mexico · · Score: 1

    I'd mod you as +1 funny for a good answer. In reply to that down the /. pub. You'd have to start with all the system fails of every current energy production method and list just how many coal / gas/ hydro electric deaths disasters happen and give a body count. Molten salt is a plus as it doesn't give you Nth conditions.
    I'm not sure how to fit a water recycling system backflow into a car analogy just yet; but I'm sure we can give it a go.

    expect government backing.
    I see no reason why they could not outfit 35,000 peoples homes with kit. Real world data has to be worth more.

    or
    37,018 GBP - Not bad wage. The cost of living in the UK means you'll feel poor; but as you say we get a health care. You still need to save for retirement and you'll not be able to afford to buy a tiny tiny house on your own.
