There are about an extra 10 million Wii's out there, but streaming is hardly a quality format - so why bother, especially if the content will just be the dreaded 'original programming'
The next sci-fi movie set on Mars sees a frozen Phoenix, covered in silvery ice and caked in dust around the landing legs being patted by a gloved hand (or an alien claw)
So, to summarize, the world is interested in a youngish, articulate man and some woman in a tight skirt - but doesn't care about some old fart! Sounds like everyone, everywhere to me.
Nak, you should be welcoming your new "hey-buddy-just-the-same-as-you-lord", I thought that was his stand, anyway I don't see any death-laser-eyeballs or fists of fury that Palin was packing.
As a driver I look at the driver of the other car, not the model. If its an idiot on their phone, doing their makeup, eating, flipping through radio stations or CDs, having a row with a passenger - I give them miles of road, regardless of model.
As an aside, most cars look pretty cool compared to my little old Renault. However, if I see a Prius on the road, all I'm reminded of is a beached whale - they're just the ugliest things ever.
I look forward to the debate hitting the House of Lords:
Leader of the House: "Next motion - changes in copyright law to proscribe peer-to-peer file sharing."
Lord Knob: "Hold on one moment, we're the peers! We share files all the time. Law rejected!"
Lady Felch: "I've got a file! And a drill, in the garage next to my Range Rover, do you want to borrow it?"
House: "Murmur, murmur, mumble, Agreed!"

YOU don't have intelligent humanoid robots, we're doing fine with ours thanks - and maybe one day we'll share.
Love, the Japanese, British, Italians and Sumatrans.
If they were that serious then they could stop the 'scourge' of cammed movies at source. Equip cinemas with an IR light emitter just below the screen, pointed at the audience that spreads beams across the cinema, digital camcorders will pick these up and make the movie unwatchable. If cammers start using IR filters on the cameras, upgrade them to field-emitters (or was it wave-emitters?) that send out a signal that distorts whatever the CCD 'sees'.
Now if it had been coming out on PSP or Wii, that would be something, but this is just MS marketing dollars at work, be keen to see Squenix's next set of accounts, particularly the column marked big fat bribes. Not that Sony does anything different
Its only government money that goes to ESA. That has to be used for robotic/satellite missions. Boring sods that they are! If the private sector puts up the cash (Richard Branson for one) then anyone can have a go at manned flight.
But, being British, we're happier working in sheds and old WWII hangers with bits of old bathtub and wire. If our government tried to run a manned space program today, it would be the biggest waste of space, time and money in all human history.
I hope these aren't the same engineers that designed an oven the diam. of a pencil lead.
What the heck were they thinking? Now they need to send up a three year old, the only system known to man that can get mud into any hole that small.
As I understand it, they are collecting all of our (60 million people) data while on the hunt for less than 800 known but mobile subversives; Al-Queda, lingerers from the IRA, Euro-nutters and a few home-baked loonies plus perhaps a few thousand wannabes.
Surely the money would be better spent on a focussed research, tracking and capture project rather than a total net that will result in less than 0.00000001% of 'bingo' data that MAY prove useful in the capture of dangerous people.
Second - Dang, humans have penetrated the underground ape-lab and found our laser test rig for the grand deconfibrulatex that will return us to mastery of this planet.

Johnny Foreigners, as long as they've filled in the right form!

Hopefully, self-loading freight. The same thing the aviation industry calls passengers.
In my (to be written someday) novel, the Earth is eaten by giant space worms and converted into minerals for the worm farmers to use as food.
I think Lemmy ate them all! He is Rock!
I await the movie version with interest, perhaps with a pro-wrestler playing the part of Stevie.

That's the plan for future versions, assuming lots of money is invested but this model allows us to brain more skipjack tuna!
I'll start, LHC turned on - Earthquake in Iran. Second beam fires and my three colleagues sneezed sequentially down the row. It's only the start!
Indeed, I'd liken our nation's respective attitudes to those of our respective Marines when confronted with the Iranian Navy in the Gulf:
British Marines - 'Don't cause a scene lads - we surrender'
Aussie Marines - 'F**k off!'
Guess which lot spent a month in a jail, were humiliated on TV and a disgrace to the nation. Go the Aussies on this one

Clicked on the link and thought it was The Onion, perhaps they've gone undercover

Eddie Izzard got it just about right, we should go to the moon on foot.
I think about 90% of how I think of the future is down to him and Syd Mead. Thanks for everything Mr. W.
The BOFH intends to use your exact message the next time that a user calls us with a hardware problem. Sir, you win a prize.

Remember guys, dust and ice = mud

First - don't call us monkeys!

KILL THEM ALL!
