  1. Re:who will define what is allowed or not ? on 'Extreme' Web Sites Under Fire From UK Police · · Score: 0

    Brought to you by the country that is banning religous symbols (including the wearing of headscarves by Muslim pupils in schools) in public buildings (IIRC).......

  2. "........give examples for code reusage....." on Ars Technica: Deep Inside KDE 3.2 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Time 'til some proprietary company kicks in following the use of the words 'code' and 'resuage' in the same sentence and starts bitching about IP anyone?

  3. Re:Eeek! Which will it be? on New Cast Information For 'Hitchhiker's' Movie · · Score: 1

    Resulting in a pretty poor 'emulation' and with about as accurate a result as suggesting that to do a convincing American acent one would have to throw away all concessions to democracy, 'elect' a President in a decidedly undemocratic fashion and then charge around the world kicking the crap out of anyone who doesn't agree with your fsckd, twinkie-stuffed ideals. About as fair and on the mark as your comment, non?

  4. Re:PLEASE NOT MOVED TO AMERICA on New Cast Information For 'Hitchhiker's' Movie · · Score: 1

    "Australian's doing authentic British accents?" MY ARSE!

  5. The potential is there.... on Brits Still Working on Stinky Email · · Score: 1

    As olfactory cues are the only sense signals that are not intermediated before innervating with higher brain areas, this seems to me to be of the same order of interest as the recent nerve-on-chip story that was slashdotted recently. As a result, you could probably use something like this with more subtlety (with the right software etc) and to better effect than the suggested use (issuing the smell of bovine faeces as the latest 419 hits your inbox :)). Interesting background refs: (not related to the product) Link and Link

  6. PubMed link to academic ref on Nerve Cells Successfully Grown on Silicon · · Score: 3, Informative

    Pubmed link to the abstract for their research. Publisher's site sometimes holds a free copy of the full paper (depends on the journal).
