    I found Shaolin Soccer wonderful. Wonderfully silly. More entertaining than Iron man 3; but so is homework.

    The films the Chinese make are better than Hollywood and they don't bother making it international. Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle & Shaolin soccer being great examples of works that have international legs. Yet have a strong identity.

    Hollywood can't be lazy anymore and make the Chinese the bad guys each time they need the antagonist nation. However, British make the Villains and we are ok with that. The Royal Shakespeare Company thanks America for the for the work.

    Inception wasn't complicated. It was watching 5 levels of very simple nested loops playout, nothing more.

    I still recall watching the Lotus Esprit going underwater in "The Spy Who Loved Me" and rewinding and rewatching the shit out of that VHS. The hire shop got such a ruined tape back!
    Bond wasn't about Bond at that time - it was the Gadgets. Now its about Bond being crap and becoming "Bond". Now we are in the Sean Connery years, will he be slapping women about? I doubt it! Bond was a prick.

    / The internet like a pub with a strip club in the back and kids room at the side. Kids will wander about if you let them. When my son learns to get around *My* not comedy dave's firewalls then thats ok with me. 16bit porn on the Amiga didn't do me any harm.

    I'm more worried about the data privacy and posting any old shit to FB part rather than him watching some fucking.

    This is all fake to get more control over the net anyway. UTTER LIES AND BOLLOCKS!

    I was thinking how sorry I feel for the guy that tested the prototypes.

  11. Welcome to the UK on ACLU Study Says Police Cameras Create Database of Our Movements · · Score: 2

    They've been doing this for ages here in the UK.
    When something happens the police also go into all the shops in the area and take their video data too. Also in central London we have the Congestion Charge. A camera based entry exit system. The people of England have paid for surveillance under the guise of easing congestion/pollution (and catching peodfiles should that ball'o'crap get the opportunity to manifest).

    CCTV hasn't stop any crime. but it does give awful low res images for news teams to air.

    Start asking sites to take down marketing and promotional HBO material on their behalf. No mass media content on Youtube. Internet killed TV - replace them.

    How much brute force traffic do you expect before you do something? Especially after Sony got a kick in the nuts with this. Also, I'd expect children to have awful dictionary passwords with only the cleverer dyslexic kids being safe. Their own name and some numbers being the limit. Shame, they could have set some pictures and set up a really good Nintendo'ish password system. More secure than adult stuff now I come to think how it would work.

    I have lots of easy to guess passwords if they allow 15 million attempts on an account.

    It has nothing to do with porn, terrorism or pedophilia. These are things they are using to pass laws with. They will get the tools in place to control the internet and they will keep going until they've fucked it. Proxies will be the next illegal item and then something else. utter subversive tosh.

    I've seen the imax demo for the Oculus VR. But could you make that Imax 3D :) each eye would get its image for the film and you'd get 3D cinema in VR.
