  1. Re:So who wants to join? on The Vatican Lauds Hackers · · Score: 1

    13.5 billion years happened during the first 20 nanoseconds of Time? Aghhh my brain!!

  2. Re:So who wants to join? on The Vatican Lauds Hackers · · Score: 1

    Sure how are you with the age of the world? I was looking at the Andromeda Galaxy and can't work out the new speed of light I need to work with. For a universe of 6k years what speed does light travel now to get to earth.
    I just tried to think about the unobservable light of the universe needing to be much slower than the observable light; but I can't express it let alone thing about it. I need to scale 13.5 billion years down to 6k years I guess.

  3. Re:Optimism on The Vatican Lauds Hackers · · Score: 1

    You give an iphone example?!? :(

    >The Vatican tends to be a fairly conservative in its approach to technology...
    How about, the fucking telescope :) They didn’t like the earth "not the centre of the universe" thing much, bless.

  4. Re:Mirror, Mirror! on Britain's Oldest Working Television For Sale · · Score: 2

    It doesn't. You need an upside down concave or convex mirror depending on the hemisphere you are in. I can't remember which one was used and I can't find it on goggle. I guess the tv maintenance instructions are lost as no one has scanned a copy. If you find it let me know.

  5. Re:Old stuff improves. on Osborne 1 vs. IPad 2 · · Score: 0

    2011 Kia? How much of an improvement is that really over the Model T?

    More colors.

    I read Model T800 Vs T-X, thinking the Kai was actress's name.

  6. Re:tax big pants on Arizona Governor Proposes Flab Tax · · Score: 1

    That is a good idea. If I were to be taxed that way I think I would make an effort. Do I get money back for being grossly under weight?

  7. Great, make up your mind! on Arizona Governor Proposes Flab Tax · · Score: 1

    In one story you read we are heading for a pensions crisis as we will all live too long and in the next story we are all to fat and will die too young. Make up your mind!

    The thing I take from all the fat stories in the press is I know for a fact that we can expand world population by another few billion people. There are enough calories for everyone in the system. Some people just need to learn how to share. Also Canada will not survive a war to protect its fresh water; but that is for another post.

    Fat bastard :)

  9. Re:Oh no... not again... on Leaked Docs Show UK ISP BT Plans Music Service · · Score: 2

    I worked for BT too.. What were they good at? :)

  10. Re:Nullo bits? on New Quantum Record: 14 Entangled Bits · · Score: 1

    I've not idea why this was marked down -1 informative. There is too much information

    now in 3D :)

  12. WELL! on 50% of Tweets Consumed Come From .05% of Users · · Score: 1

    A lot of people really have nothing to say!

    Please see below and other things to do with pot and kettle ethnicity.

  13. Re:Just took phone out of my pants pocket. on Mobile Phone May Rot Your Bones · · Score: 2

    +1 mod of too true and nods of very sad.

  14. Re:Sounds like a headache on US Contemplating 'Vehicle Miles Traveled' Tax · · Score: 1

    I try not to eat fast food; but I walk past a KFC on the way home :( If I'm drunk, I can't stop myself. I envy those flies....

  15. Re:Fear-mongering Technobabble on Fukushima Radioactive Fallout Nears Chernobyl Levels · · Score: 3, Funny

    She still wont talk to me. Cool zombie Ted is smoking a Marlboro and the blue smoke coming out of his chest cavity looks mean. He blew smoke rings out of his aorta and she laughed. Undam you Ted, I hope you live.

  16. Re:devalued content on Why Paywalls Are Good, But NYT's Is Flawed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You find me a decent reporter and I just may pay for a bit of news. The main stream is so full of sensationalist crap, it is no longer fit for purpose.
    You read things like "Tokyo's drinking water is 10,000 times above normal radiation levels". Then you look into the numbers and see that the amount is so tiny, you'd have to drink yourself to death just to get a radioactive blip.
    I say fuck em... It is not a pay wall. It is a wall to protect me from them.

    If you have any data / news for the surrounding lands of the Fukushima power plant please let me know.

  17. Re:Other sites? on UK ISPs Hatch Plan To Block the Pirate Bay and Other File Sharing Sites · · Score: 1

    Data protection act should help I hope. Also if you have a big list of sites you'll be able to test for the ones you cannot access. If lots of people have lots of lists then we'll find them.

  18. Re:finally on Getting Closer To Using Graphene For Electronics · · Score: 1

    It will be here before you know it. Time speeeeeds up I'm sure.

    you could make yourself a robo leg. You'll be back on your feet in no time...

  20. That is the wrong way round. on CS Prof Decries America's 'Internal Brain Drain' · · Score: 1

    Most of the anecdotal yap I hear in England would be about top people leaving here to go make money in the US. It can't all be outward. Where are these people ending up? Does anyone have a story about an Indian leaving their call centre and making it big in the US?

  21. Re:Waiting for the 4D on Was the Early Universe 2 Dimensional Spacetime? · · Score: 1

    They'll make ten be the top number :(

    Don't fear the crinkle. Fear is the mind-killer.
    I've always liked the classic name for a type of coffee called Melange. Drink enough and you will fold space. Can I watch?

    The ones with phones so crap they are not even worth looking at.

  24. Re:Nice on Using Kinect With Your PS3 · · Score: 0

    Having played a demo Kinect in the shop I'd say the lag was awful anyway. Mind you, after 5mins of jumping about the lag will be about right. After 10mins I'll take your Bluetooth version. Why do these people want to get me out of the sofa to jump around? It took years to get this unfit!

  25. Re:Too true on Microsoft Conducts Massive Botnet Takedown Action · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would mod you troll or flamebait for a comment like "great majority of users are also stupid"; but the rest of what you wrote is right. These people are not stupid, they just have interests other than computers. I've no idea what that may be; but they seem to have them.
