    We only close streets when very important people need their minions to praise them (queen's jubilee).

  2. Re:Educate the public? on DVDs, Blu-Rays To Show 20-Second Unskippable Govt. Warnings · · Score: 1

    I said that ten years ago on Slashdot. I said everyone should buy cheap 20 pound/dollar/euro DVD players. No one listens to me. I may as well type to myself.

    Oh dear, you've made the fatties rage.

    Their mouth being bigger than their arsehole has a lot to do with it too.

    And cake. Birthday cake to be exact. So much icing sugar.

    And. And. And.

    I lost 5kg in 12 months by reducing my lunchtime sandwiches from four to three. It was simple maths.

    182cm tall, 79kg. Aim for that fatties.

  4. Re:Not Virgin's fault on Pirate Bay Criticizes Anonymous' Attack On Virgin · · Score: 1

    I had this issue last night. Why none of the family had spoken up before, I don't know.

    Armed with a huge list of scene bookmarks and contacts I began.

    But first a Google search "how do I access the pirate bay using virgin media". The first result was the news, as were the 2nd and 3rd. The 4th result was a list of mirrors; a big list of mirrors. I have never been so disapointed. Years of knowledge gained on IRC, Usenet and the scene all wasted.

  5. Re:minivan on Asteroid the 'Size of a Minivan' Exploded Over California · · Score: 1

    One linked story on here says "this meteor was about the size of a washing machine"

    Now I'm imagining four larger than life Americans squeezing into a van 600x600x900mm in size.

    Or do American have really, really big washing machines?

  6. Re:Obligatory Dilbert on Google Ups Bug Bounty To $20,000 · · Score: 1

    You underestimate human greed and the "can I get away with it?" factor.

    $20k is a lot of pound notes.

    Wow. Jog my memory, why don't you.

    What was that game called? It was a up/down _and_ left/right scrolling shooter. Weapon power ups. Loads of sprites.

    I'm talking about the first game on the ZX to dither the 8x8 character square in order to show 4 (four!) colours.

    Still got my 128k upstairs somewhere.

  8. Re:Don't take them seriously on Sun Advice Columnist Advised MPs On UK Porn-Block Plans · · Score: 1

    How can brighter minds discount what The Sun says if they don't read the paper in the first place?

    If elitists, such as yourself, don't connect with the common man, how are you going to force him to do your bidding?

  9. Re:The Sun isn't a "Real Newspaper" to begin with. on Sun Advice Columnist Advised MPs On UK Porn-Block Plans · · Score: 1

    I see it's been a while since you read a copy. Some of what you say is true, the rest is very dated.

    First, 90% of their stories are carried by all the other news agencies.

    OK, I have the paper in front of me now. The first science story in on page 22 (in my regional version). The topic is "X-rays on a mobile". The last word on the first paragraph is "scientists", not boffins. A quote from one of the "boffins" is "The terahertz range is full of unlimited potential...". Something we've covered on Slashdot before.

    Page 3 is great. Chloe, 22, from Leeds, gives an interesting editorial on the price of petrol. It's funny, so laugh before you cry. She's got nice tits too. Bang tidy. It make me want to wash the windows.

    The whole paper is light hearted, if you skip today's main stories about extradition of Qatada, fuel prices, BBC strike, Queen's Jubilee, Breivik... If you get all your news from The Sun, you are silly, but other news channels say pretty much the same.

    Of all the papers in this highly educated office, only mine is read by others. People come to my desk, look at Page 3, flick through the pages until the sport appears, and then we chat. It's 30p well spent.

  12. Re:..and the actual link is: on Millions of Brits Lose Ceefax News Service · · Score: 2

    I wasn't too young. My grandparents had one of those new style colour TVs and it was the reason I liked visiting them. When we got a colour TV years later, it was able to cache 10 pages and it had the four-colour fast navigate function!

    I also remember some nerdy tech programmes spewing Ceefax/Teletext pages after the credits. The idea was to record the end, on one of those fancy VeeCeeArrs, and use the frame forward function to view each page; it was one page per frame and didn't really work.

  13. Re:Fine for "honest" programmers, but... on Will Write Code, Won't Sign NDA · · Score: 1

    Not quite true sir! It's more a general term for sex offenders.

    Not to be confused with "ponce", which a lot of people do. "Ponce" is more about stealling than anything else.

    I'll tell you what Google bring to the table:

    The name of Google.

    I tried to get my family on Dropbox. I even offered to answer all their surveys and upload video data in order to get another 5gb. The family needed a way to send large files and Dropbox, with it's Android integration, was the answer. They couldn't arsed and still burn CDRs for people. We have 50mbit/5mbit in this house. *facepalm*.

    Google can offer 5gb from Google with a simple single click from a Google webpage like Google Play.

    Total Recall rings a bell. It's the app I was using to record calls before it started behaving badly on my S2 and I had to uninstall it (warez, say no more).

    It was a fantastic app though.

  25. Re:NQ Mobile link on SMS-Controlled Malware Hijacking Android Phones · · Score: 1

    The largest problem with 'grey' sites is the constant stream of app updates that the market (Play) will not handle. I have uninstalled most of my apps because of crashes and bugs - both of which are probably fixed but I couldn't find the APKs quickly.
