  1. For what it's worth.... on Tesla Sues BBC's Top Gear For Libel · · Score: 1

    ...they also dubbed in a sample of a turbine shutting down during the the sequence where the power "runs out". If that isn't enough to suggest that the viewer is being misled, then what is?

  2. Good job they haven't seen my favourite game... on Fox News Brings Video Game Violence Debate To a New Low · · Score: 1

    OK, they are using a code. So we don't know what they are saying.

    The code has been cracked - it turns out they were sending messages in Russian.

    Boy, I wish all the conspiracy theorists would just VERB 37 ENTER 00 ENTER.

  7. Re:Will googling for "ReiserFS" make me a suspect? on Don't Google "How To Commit Murder" Before Killing · · Score: 1

    If my wife gets murdered, will it make me a suspect if I've googled for the film "How to Murder Your Wife"?

  8. Re:AJAX is the key on Google Launches Online Spreadsheet System · · Score: 1
    You can't have two competing monopolies - it's no longer a monopoly once you have 2. That's kind of what the "mono" in "monopoly" implies.

    How about the "poly?" It must mean "multiple-singles"... err...

  9. Re:But remember on IL School District to Monitor Student Blogs · · Score: 1

    The same forging could be done for members of staff. That would soon make them change their minds.

    Good riddance to .xxx. And please take .museum and .jobs with it, would you?

    Does that include steve.jobs?

  11. Re:Remember Segetation? on 2006 Webby Award Winners Announced · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think this site made it onto Web Pages That Suck a while ago, so I'm glad that I can now recycle my comment of "Non-Flash user? Get to the back of the bus!" ;)

  12. Already got it! on Australian Do Not Call Register · · Score: 2, Informative

    We've had it for years; it's the Telephone Preference Service and you can sign up online.

  13. Re:But Windows... on Major Retailer Chooses Linux for its Tills · · Score: 1

    So I went to Matalan, got to the checkout, and by an amazing coincidence my shopping came to $699.

  14. Re:Clap Clap Clap on Outspoken Group Releases Album as Free Download · · Score: 1

    I downloaded "Flagpole Sitta" on WinMX. So does this mean that I should or shouldn't feel guilty?

  15. I've got the 1979 version of this book... on How Computers Work -- Circa 1979 · · Score: 2, Informative

    ...and its proper title is "How it Works... The Computer"!

  16. Alternative method on New Phone Service Promises to ID Songs · · Score: 1

    A funny one I once saw in a magazine was: "Can't remember the name of a song stuck in your head? Simply record and release your own version of it. Then, when you get sued for copyright infringment, the information you need will be on the writ."

  17. Re:Security, not privacy on NTSB Recommends Black Boxes For All Cars · · Score: 1

    [T]he kind of information reported (speed, direction of wheels, braking, engine status, etc.) can be interpreted to fit a preconceived notion.

    Absolutely. This would be the case if you tried to accelerate or steer out of danger to avoid death or serious injury, but still crash (imagine someone coming at you after running a red light).

    To discover who was truly at fault, there would still need to be accounts from witnesses. And If there weren't any, the black box would do nothing except wrongly indicate that you were at fault.

  18. Re:And this is the difference. on The Software Politics Of 2004's Presidential Race · · Score: 1, Funny

    I believe that Bush also fills up his American car with American fuel such as Exxon, instead of giving money to terrorists by buying that cheap, imported, oil-based stuff.

  19. Brass Eye on Lauren Weinstein: If MTV Calls, Hang Up · · Score: 3, Informative

    There was a massive fuss in the UK three years ago over a spoof documentary called Brass Eye, which was a one-off special on the media's treatment of paedophilia. There were numerous celebrities and government ministers who were duped into appearing, and the tabloids branded it the "sickest TV show ever".

    The strange thing about the reaction to the show was that it appeared to justify the screening of the programme, including the minister who launched an attack despite not having actually seeing it.

    Lots of info from the BBC, and a transcript here.

  20. Re:Nothing new? on Clear Channel Plans To Roll Out Digital Billboards · · Score: 5, Funny

    We've had these in Britain by the motorways for ages, but they always seem to be advertising something called "Major delays on M6 at J15".

  21. Lego CAD package on Inside the Lego Master Builder Search · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've been using the MLCAD software for some time now. It comes with almost all the bricks in existence, so if you've got a year or two to spare, you might want to check it out.

  22. Hypocrisy spotted on 101 Ways To Save The Internet · · Score: 1

    57: Filter fake error messages
    Those ads that pose as Windows error messages ("Your computer may be infected! Download fix?") should appear in front of your lawyers, not us.

    Did anybody else notice the fake Windows banner at the top of this page saying "You have 2 unread messages waiting for you"?

  23. Meanwhile, in the UK... on Japanese Train Sets A Speed Record Of 581 kph · · Score: 1

  24. Foil Telemarketers by Buying From Them on Oops, Dave Barry Does It Again · · Score: 2, Funny

    Someone I once knew got cold called by a firm selling conservatories. Instead of getting angry, he was very enthusiastic and asked them to send round a surveyor. When the guy arrived, he was a bit narked to find that the prospective customer lived on the eighth floor of a tower block.
