If you want people not to question things around them, make sure there isnt much free time for them.
If i were chinese gov i would make lots of noise but do nothing to cut down on pr0n. Tianmmmen(sp?)happened because a lot of young people , with lots of energy , had lots of free time.
Make sure the people are too busy watching pron and there wont be a problem.
Dont make people's life drab, make them colorful and they wont worry about lack of political freedoms.
Hong Kong and Singapore are both excellent examples.
I will bet even money that if US became a military dictatorship tomorrow , there will be about 3 protesters . The rest will be watching cable TV, and wondering which SUV to buy next.
but weren't Newton's ideas debunked by Einstein's theory of relativity? Shouldn't we be focusing on the physicists who got it right, not the ones who were wrong.
In that sense , even Einstein didnt get it completely correct.His special and then the general theories didnt answer all the quantum phenomena.He spent most of his working life trying to find a grand unified theory , infact it was his holy grail.
Remember , Einstein's Nobel prize (in physics) was for his work on the photoelectric effect , because his work on relativity was a bit "unique" and "bold" for that time.
No,the BBC is FUNDED directly by LICENSE paying Britishers.Its got nothing to with our government.The only state body with any hold over it is the parliament which renews (till now) its charter upon its expiry.
He isnt trolling....in our fair isles its the truth.Because our Chief Justice Lord Woolf has decided crimes against Private citizens should be dealt with leniently.
Encryption technology (only comprimised due to physical reasons, i.e. someone stole one)
Sorry,but your last statement is utter Bullshit.Either you dont know about encryption or are trolling.The inventor of Enigma assumed that a working Enigma would be available to the enemy and therefore,attempted to build the security around the Algorithm.
In fact,when the machine's blueprints reached the french they considered the enigma to be unbreakable and thats why they passed the details to the Polish.A young Mathematician named Marion Rewjyski(sp?) set to work on cracking enigma.
For details read the book by
Simon Singh.
It was the poles who first broke the enigma and Bletchley park,which came in later, decoded the intercepts
The Enigma was the most advanced encryption system at its time in the world but to say it was broken only because a machine was captured is utter fallacy.
P.S I didnt mean to be rude but most/. ers have read enough articles on Encryption to know that the security of a cipher is in its algorithm and nowhere else.
and till date(thank god )i havent had any software problem.Over 2 and half years and no crashes due to buggy software.i must have dropped it about a 100 times and despite a cracked screen it still works.

MAPLINS as well have a DVD player capable of playing DivX.
But anybody know of any other options ?
cricket-inspired robots to be used in rescue missions
So that inspiration coming from a proper test match or just a one day international?

We dont drive hummers here.

Can some one shed some Light on the BBC's Flexible TV?
Does any body in the US realise that China will be the world's leading energy consumer in a very short period.
That the Chinese economy isnt so efficient that they will implement green policies in their industries.
That the only thing between Chinese pollution and the US is the Pacific ocean.
US should have signed the Kyoto treaty so that it could , along with Europe , force China to keep its pollution under check.
At the moment China has a carte blanche to pollute as it wishes.
US has been very short sighted on Kyoto and this will come to haunt the next generation.
Or is it , no body wants to Save the children anymore if it costs them?
enough trouble driving on a two dimesional road , any idea what a mess we will make flying in the three dimensional airspace?
any news /links you could point us to?
is the ability to decide which extensions would start with firefox and which would be fired up as and when needed.
I think that may shave off a few seconds of the loading time.
I use this wonderful extension called Coralize.
i was going to blame /. for the way the web site renders in Firefox.
,its actually firefox.
/. since its HTML is not valid.
/. or shall i play safe and blame MicroSoft.
Then i read that its not Slashdot
Then i read that it actually is
So can i continue blaming
many thanks for your invaluable opinions.
is this a haiku or have i benn up too long?

I have been thinking about putting a magnet in jeans pocket and then keeping my loose change OUTside the pocket.

But i am worried about putting such a powerful magnet next to my
Any opinions.

Seriously these days just driving around is more than enough to surf the net.I might as well ask my isp to cancel my account.
Well you havent tried dealing with an English Council.
Once they decide to charge you only the magistrates can save you.

Sometimes,old is really gold.
or any of you guys feel that most books are much ,much better than the movies that follow them.
the movie was absolutely horrendous compared to the book.
What if budding designers and contractors demostrated their skills by building free pubic buildings?
I volunteer for anything if these pubic buildings are going to be in the female form.
On second thoughts though,change it to almost anything.
