  1. Uh oh! on Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think the last think we all want is people like *him* getting out more. :-P

  2. Re:So, that green chick... on Ask William Shatner · · Score: 1

    Why would you be interested in the colour of her feet?

  3. What is the secret... on Ask William Shatner · · Score: 1

    ... of the Genesis device?

  4. Robots takle over the world? on Cringley Asking for 12 Month Predictions · · Score: 1

    Has some-one been leaking MS Internal Memo's again?

  5. Re:What about theatres ? on Turner CEO: "PVR Users Are Thieves" · · Score: 1

    Heck no! Just clap the in irons and make them watch the adverts next time around and expell them from the cinema before the main features comes on again.

  6. Reducto Ad Absurdum (or something like that) on Turner CEO: "PVR Users Are Thieves" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If this argument applies to broadcasted content - that not watching the adverts constitutes theft - then the same argument must by extension apply to other mediums. Thus buying a newspaper and not reading all of the adverts contained therein also constitutes theft. I hope you have large prisons in America.

  7. Re:Fairly bright? on Patent Granted on Sideways Swinging · · Score: 1

    I stand corrected. So how then did this patent come about? No competent patent examiner could possibly have approved it.

    Don't actually know. In England, public sector workers tend to get significantly less than they would get in the business sector. The obvious consequence is that a lot of the best people migrate out of the public sector. I don't imagine things are much different across the pond.

  9. Fairly bright? on Patent Granted on Sideways Swinging · · Score: 1

    Considering the money that is probably paid, I wouldn't be surprised if you were offered fries with your patent.
