    Rumours? What? The Cell was designed for the PS3

  2. Re:Er, what? on Possible Breakthrough for AIDS Cure · · Score: 1

    What an idiot you are AIDs by nature does not 'kill off those engaged in irresponsible behaviour', because the minute they do, they've usually made the female pregnant and so her kid is likely to be born with AIDs. Is THAT kid irresponsible.

    Also, a lot of third world countries aren't over populated, just under developed and thus unable to sustain the population that they contain.

  3. Re:Anyone feel that on Nintendo's New Look · · Score: 1

    I live in the UK and Nintendo of Europe/UK is much much much better - it's incredibly ruthless and they absolutely pummel trains and TV programs with adverts, but they're usually pretty nice adverts and usually have that 'Ninty Charm'. I just feel that NOA just... aren't.... Nintendo.

  4. Anyone feel that on Nintendo's New Look · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Nintendo of America feel so horribly faceless? The marketing is as false, impassionate and transparent as the crap Allard was throwing out a few months or so ago.

    Just let Japan speak, please!

    Go 80km in any direction in the UK and you've already passed through at least 2-3 towns!

    pre-beta? So that'd make it alpha then :-P

  7. Re:Solar Energy != Free Energy on Solar Energy Becoming More Pervasive · · Score: 1

    Stick black tiles on the roof of a house, and they absorb a massive amount of solar energy and don't do much with it except convert it to heat, which gets radiated and helps the greenhouse effect, which I think we're helping quite enough anyway. Stick solar cells on that roof instead and they absorb the energy and use it to heat a house's water supply, which would other wise have to be done by other fuels.

  8. Re:will they stay stuck? on Solar Energy Becoming More Pervasive · · Score: 1

    I think you'll find there's a lot of bonded extras on most modern cars, that don't generally fall off unless you're stupid enough to take your car into a spinning car wash.

  9. Re:No references on Scientists Expand Knowledge of Dark Matter · · Score: 2, Informative

    The BBC news 'lack of linking' can get on my nerves a bit, but they DO hide in the right hand bar a 'related links' section whihc you can just about see....and is sometimes useful

  10. Re:New Orleans Levees on Tracking the Cracks · · Score: 2, Informative

    There was a program about the Orleans aftermath over here in the UK (it was an edition of 'Horizon' on the BBC), which showed not only that the levvies had only been built for a smaller scale hurricane (not surprisingly...), but also that the designers/builders hadn't taken into account the clay-like consistency of the soil they were being laid into and so they literally just got ripped straight out of the ground.

    Talk about missing out engineering 101. Idiots.

    Yes, I'm sure that'll be cheap for deployment throughout every police force.

  13. Re:Not So Easy on Tagging Devices To Aid In Car Chases · · Score: 1

    That's a strange theory. In the UK, as far as I'm aware, the Police are pretty much required to have a co-pilot with them in the car, for various reasonings, including the general safety that comes from splitting an intense situation between 2 people, and the 'witness' you have to anything either of you do.

    I would presume that this would be fired by an assitant officer in the passenger seat?

    Can you lay a spike strip from behind a car?

    I'm sure if it's fired at the back bumper you don't have a hope in hell of removing it without stopping and reversing at a wall or getting out the car and pulling it off yourself.

    You are insane. Does your car drive itself whilst you are getting this gun out and aiming it at the other car?

    Nope, if they operate in the UK (which, obviously, they do), they are required to follow UK law. End of. Stop pointless 1337 g00gl3 bashing.

  20. Re:Open source a good thing here? on Military Testing WMD Sensors at Super Bowl · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Terrorism's aim isn't usually just to screw up an infrastructure. They tend to realise that it's a heck of a lot more productive to kill a few people and make everyone cry their eyes out, than for a few corporations to fall to their knees (which, given the fact that there's a lot of EXCELLENT IT infrastructures on this planet - run by slashdotters often!).

    Emotional terrorism will nearly always beat information terrorism, especially when any sort of harm caused creates huge economic strains in the rush, build up and subsequent 'security increase' afterwards (why the hell do they even entertain the idea of half million pound sluggish weapon scanners at busy train stations in the UK?)

  21. Re:Yeah, Nintendo's Guilty Too... on Worst of the Retro Rip-Offs · · Score: 1

    There was a program over here in the UK about nintendo a while back, and although the presenter is TERRIBLE (I want to lock her in a cupboard and leave her to rot), it was quite interesting to see just how humble Miyamoto is... to the extent that I do worry that one day he'll wander off in a "I'm not really that useful anyway" sort of way. I hope not.

  23. Re:Dear Games Industry.. on Games Industry To Shrink in 2006? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Uh, no. Most of your average console gamers don't care for WoW at all. There needs to an influx of proper, classic, fun games... not some rehashes of the same game with fancy graphics.
