Watch this space as some lilly-livered nanny-lovers suggest that manufacturers produce a unique tread on every shoe and tyre, speed limiters on every vehicle and RFID chips in every serving of fast food coupled with a scanner in every toilet bowl. Then maybe we can finally feel safe!
Meanwhile, a spokesperson from Google Maps has denied allegations that their satellites are equipped with frikken terrorist-zapping lasers which are armed and ready to activate given the appropriate legislative amendments.

I reckon there is some merit in TFA. We're in a cost-cutting part of the economic cycle. Even pointy-haired bosses can see that paying for an OS just doesn't make sense.
My last IT manager used Egyptian gods for the servers: Tor, Thoth, Ra, etc.
I always prefered useful names. Everyone was installing printers via IP address or Netware dotted nomenclature, but I'd go into the http config and add the location or name of a nice girl that sits near the printer:)
Google has unveiled what is touted as being one of the most comprehensive 3D maps of ocean rubbish in a major upgrade to its free Google Earth program.
For the first time, web surfers can surf amongst some of the estimated 100 million tonnes of plastic and assorted human refuse that has been accumulating in the middle of the North Pacific Gyre since the 1950s - all without getting their hands dirty.
Demonstrating the far superior beauty available from Web 2.0 applications, in comparison to the grubby ocean, the Ocean feature of Google Earth allows users to zoom in and out of specific locations on a tapestry of panoramic images that have been woven together. Beat that, stupid Nature!
John Wanke, head of Google Earth said, "The great thing about this site is that it will be inclusive," the irony that we were all already included and represented by at least one piece of crap in the great pile no doubt lost on him.

I could see why countries were internet access isn't common but technology is at a reasonible level ...

Where do you think baby coat hangers come from?

The answer is: sunshine
Baby hangers come from sunshine? That still doesn't answer why we should try to impregnate coat hangers.
it's been raining all week, you insensitive clod!
send em to Africa or SE Asia - I left my 512MB USB drive with a student in Philippines. old tech is much appreciated in poorer regions of the world.

we could have worked out a single mission visiting both by now if we didn't worry about crud like cold wars, wars on drugs/terror, etc ... oh well

There's a meta fix for any broken Fit It tools available here.
Ok, watch the clip in question here...
Yeah, like I'm gonna follow a link to YouTube Nederlands.
It's probably just a clip of someone smoking a big fat joint
Not feces, though; feces is never sexy.

Are you sure you've included the effects of precession etc. when doing that calculation?
of course not, it's astrology. An art form useful for relieving morons of their money.

If your son is shocked by something as boring as a children-eating dinosaur, how does he respond to goatse and the various nigger/shit/jew trolls?
we're behind a giant Goatse-proof fence, aka Great Firewall of Australia
Can't see Goatse from out backyard, but plenty of child-eating spiders, sharks, stingrays, snakes and dinosaurs. Yep, no wuckers about that, mate
Anyway, go Ben Graham - 1st Australian to play in a superbowl final.
Next year, how about you outsource all the tech to Putin's Russia. You know, just as an international gesture of goodwill ... MalwareBowl
It's Dorothy the Dinosaur and she eats flowers, not children. Just explaining for the benefit of my son who was traumatised to read your post :)
