  1. Re:Could become the final nail in Einstein's relat on NASA To Test New Atomic Clock · · Score: 1

    If you have an idea, try and prove it wrong (alot), if you can't, then your idea stands. This goes for relativity too, but dancing around just saying "it's wrong, haha!" gets you a Cool story bro award attached to a tin foil hat.

  2. Re:More 3D on Real 3D Display; 3 Years Out? · · Score: 1

    Indeed, though I feel the industry will call it something inane like 4D, because 3D has been done already. This is regardless as to what it truly is, such as true 3D projection with hopefully 360' viewing. Seriously, four-dee, I wouldn't put it past them.

    It makes us laugh.

  4. Re:So you can hit your data cap... on BT Promises 300Mbps FTTP By 2012 · · Score: 1

    Indeed, when I had Virgin, I found them very bursty. Yes I'd get what was 11Mbit on my line but it would only hold that for a few hundred megs or so, then it slipped down to around 3, never did much uploading but downloading would cause Virgin to strangle the line.

    I'm currently on BT ADSL (which is, fineish except for a drop out every night for a few seconds) on a line outside my control (I don't pay for this one so I don't choose providers). It is at least consistent with the data rates at around 7Mbit for full file transfers, so in essence I can shift larger data transfers faster on a slower line due to the absence of (obvious) throttling. Mind you I don't use (read: trust) BT's DNS and use an alternate one.

    Yes but remember, EA is involved. There's a first time for everything.

  6. Re:!OS on An Operating System For Cities · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's simcity 4 minus the disaster menu.

    Well you could always add in a disaster menu if you wanted, to keep with the theme of things. I'd think the easy ones to implement would be: Financial Crisis, Power Plant Meltdown, Flash Flood and possibly Food Shortage. Then just use some random number generator to trigger them and bob's your uncle, SimCityRL.

  7. Re:Mental effect alone... on Boston Dynamics Unveils AlphaDog Quadruped Robot · · Score: 1

    Now all it needs are glowing red eyes, teeth and a flame thrower to top it off. Watch out for the next prototype called DevilDog or HellHound.
    P.S. Excellent work.

  9. Re:so let me get this right... on New Sony PSN ToS: Class Action Waiver Included · · Score: 2

    I believe in England EULAs aren't Legal & Binding, so this sounds a bit dodgy to me. You can't just lose your rights because of some wall of text.

    Given the choice of McAfee or malware at this level, I would choose the malware.

    Tell me again what the difference is?

    You can remove malware.

  11. Re:you don't want this on Wicked Lasers Introduces Handheld One-Watt Green Laser · · Score: 1

    Luckily they operate over a relatively short range, comparative to firearms or lasers anyway and in a controllable manner, such as fireproof suits for the user in-case of wind direction change. There's also the ability to check the area of use prior to operation for unwanted recipients (checking a few acres for hiding people only takes a few minutes, checking a few miles is nearly impossible).

  12. Re:you don't want this on Wicked Lasers Introduces Handheld One-Watt Green Laser · · Score: 1

    Ah yes, but your 200 mph car does not always drive at 200 mph. If it did I'd consider the danger similar. The 1W laser will, I figure operate at 1W for the large portion of it's operational charge, and is thus always dangerous. Though you did say "who needs" so I digress a little.

    How about just giving all you Americans the UK driving test. Hardest one around, so I hear. The only thing it is missing is the Finns "ralley stage" driving on ice/snow. Though we don't have much of that to test us on.

  18. Re:Wrong question on What HP's TouchPad Fire Sale Teaches iPad Rivals · · Score: 1

    I thought Motorola managed to do some proper innovating stuff with the Atrix. Phone-cum-laptop sounded like a fantastic idea, except reviews and owners say the software is terrible on the laptop-thingy, making basic tasks a bit laggy. I admit I haven't looked at it since release but I doubt it's seriously improved. Also, that's before we add in the overpriced lapdock and other expensive accessories that put off early adopters. They really missed the ball there I feel.
