  1. Re:I said "No, I won't put that code in." on VW Fiasco Puts Ethics In Engineering Under the Spotlight, CEO Steps Down · · Score: 1

    That might work in the US but you certainly CAN'T fire someone in the EU "just like that" ! There's an entire disciplinary procedure you HAVE to go through that involves "intermediates" (Workers Representatives). As I said on "The Reg"... /Tinfoil Hat time Makes you wonder if the former ousted CEO of VW didn't drop a sneaky heads up to the relevant testing authority as a "Kiss my Hairy Arse" payback ?

  3. Dan Silvas on What Early Software Was Influential Enough To Deserve Acclaim? · · Score: 1

    Deluxe Paint series. I preferred "True Brilliance" but DPaint was the Daddy. AdPro & ImageFX was awesome too.

  4. Stalags on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    I can see the US making their schools similar to how UK schools are now after Dunblane. They all now bare a remarkable resemblance to Stalags !! ie: High security fencing all round security doors CCTV EVERYWHERE You can't play on the school fields like we used to be able to do. Everyone has to be "buzzed in" A sad indictment on todays society. Also... In the days when the 2nd amendment was drawn up Muskets were the dominent firearm. A musket probably takes a skilled militia about 30 seconds to reload Each round The second amendment needs ammending or at least enforcing.. ie: You only have the right to bare arms re: 2nd amendment If that firearm is a Musket !! Just as deadly, but to all intents and purposes..Single shot ! Can't see that happening mind but ...

  6. New Direction on Elite Creator David Braben: Games Like Elite 'Too Risky' For Publishers · · Score: 1

    I think it has good prospects. I believe in "Dangerous" not only can you land on planets but be able to walk around etc. That can lead to "add-on quests" on that planet or even collection of planets to open up new quests etc.
